1 – 20 of 49 Works in Background & Cameo Characters
Summary
After the deaths of Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore, fate decided to torture (or bless them) one final time and rewind the clock, bringing them back to June of 1991. With Harry Potter no older than a preteen and Voldemort no longer revived, the two men band together to eradicate the future they had come from and do right by the chosen boy, who was no longer quite so chosen. Not in any way that mattered. With an extensive list of Horcruxes to destroy, Dumbledore sets off on the quest of a lifetime. And Severus is reduced to being The-Boy-Who-Lived most unexpected babysitter. Somehow, Dumbledore got the lesser of two evils. Not only was Potter nothing like how Severus remembered, he was also twice as powerful as before. Merlin, he was not paid enough for this!
Mentor!Severus.

The ultimate guide to survive puberty… again. Anthology by None_pet
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
09 Sep 2025
Summary
Heyaaa!! It is finished!
The only work still open is the Snippets of a future past, but its the little dump series that i don't know when I'll be updating.Hope you like it!!
Its in order!Anthology containing:
Harry Potter and... here we go again
There are three things that are Universal constants.
One: Evil bastards will always rise to wreak havoc.
Two: Gunmetal gray looks great in any type of suit.
Three: Harry Potter can’t leave things aloneHarry Potter, savior of the wizarding world, finds himself in trouble after a little magical mishap... that he caused - kind of.
Now he must relive his life, once again, with a sarcastic little git as an ally and perhaps right some wrongs of the past… present? Future?Draco Malfoy and… the fatigue of doing things again.
Knowing a little more about the universe, constants appear more and more. Here we have three more;
One: Narcissists will say anything to gather public favor.
Two: Hobbies are important for your mental health, or so they say.
Three: Draco Malfoy has no patience for hacks.
Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are navigating their second year of Hogwarts for the second time, and will not put up with the same bullcrap they lived on their first time around.
Now, with suspicions piling up high against them, they have to do a lot of things to avoid changing the future too much… but circumstances change all the bloody time.
Harry Potter and… the good and the bad of doing things again.
The universe… Crazy that it has so many rules.
One: Studying can be quite hard.
Two: Chiseling stone… is a bit harder.
Three: Harry needs therapy? Who would have thought?Harry and Draco find themselves in a quiet… uneventful year… maybe, perhaps?
They sure hope so, considering that they already dealt with the prisoner of Azkaban…… The universe had other plans of course.
Draco Malfoy and… how doing things again may cause headaches.
Draco pondered on the case that you can only be certain of so many things, considering that the universe love to laugh in your face:
One: Trying and succeeding, may cause pain.
Two: Trying and failing, may ALSO cause pain.
Three: Betrayal hurts twice as much as the other two combined.Fourth year is at their doorstep, so Draco and Harry plan a lot to make the world realise a couple of truths… too bad they also need to start opening their eyes to more personal matters.
Snippets of a new past, present and future.
A collection of little chapters that I think would add to my on-going series of “The ultime guide to survive puberty... again.”
While working on book five and beyond.
Comments and suggestions on what you want to know more of (not spoilers and things I’ll write or explain in the future.) are more than welcomed.
Chp 1: Blaise Zabini.
Chp 2: Minerva McGonagall.
Chp. 3: Severus Snape.
Chp. 4: Lyra Violet Malfoy Black
Harry Potter and… how confusing fate could be when it changed on a whim
Understanding destiny of defying fate… May mean you need to remember some rules.
One: Whenever something unexpected happenes, on must react CALMLY
Two: BREATHE through your nose, exhale through your mouth when everything goes to shit.
Three: PANIC when things go according to plan in the most bizarre of ways…Harry and Draco start their fifth year just to find that starting a revolution wasn’t as hard as they thought. The groundwork they set the year prior was paying dividends and Umbridge didn’t know what was about to hit her…
Harry wondered if he could sneak a punch or two himself before they sent her to jail… They would, right?
Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and… How time keeps on going on.
When the fight gets to you, you will need several rules just to survive.
Fear not, as here you’ll have the three most important ones:One: Never think someone has died before confirming it yourself.
Two: Hygiene is very important.
Three: Try to think of easy ways of forgiving yourself after the fight is over…Harry and Draco start their sixth year with a bang and an explosion.
Some unintentional deaths, and a lot of chaos… Time is certainly speeding up, making everything a little more pressing.
They could ask, perhaps even bitch and moan about their woes…
Or they could just end it, right?Shelves: Harry Potter

Summary
Izuku is an author and artist at heart, and he wants to become a famous comic book writer. It was his last promise to his mother, after all, and he plans to keep it. Too bad he’s on the brink of homelessness with nothing but bills and rejection letters to his name.
Shouto is a famous published author, but he just wants a break from the media’s obsession with his love life. The last place he’s expecting to find a solution to his problems is at his fan-sign event.
In a world where it’s about who you’re born as and who you know, rather than what you know, Izuku has little hope of ever achieving his dream, despite his best efforts. But Shouto sees potential in Izuku. He might even be able to help Izuku get published. There’s one small catch though. In exchange, he needs Izuku to be his fake boyfriend for two months. Just until the national literary awards ceremony.
Simple, right?

Summary
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.
Potion mishap. Potter’s damn saviour complex.
His lips, warm and firm on Draco’s.
“And how is this resolved?“ Slughorn tensed his fingers, clasping them over his stomach and looking between Draco and Potter again, with what could only be fear in his face.
“If they don’t consummate within the next twenty four hours… They’re dead,“ he answered, and the room was quiet for three seconds before it erupted.
“What the fuck do you mean consummate?!“
“Dead? What do you mean dead?“
“Professor, you can’t be serious!“

Summary
“Seriously, let me and Chewie take you if you insist on this stupid idea.”
“No. We are going in Syndulla’s ship and that’s that. Jyn is my security, and Shara is there as backup.”
“So it’s literally just…you ladies?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?!”
“Enough!” Draven bellows, bringing the room to silence. “This is not productive. If Princess Organa has sanctioned this mission with the permission of the remaining council then it’s decided. Erso, do you accept?”
All eyes fall on Jyn. Cassian stares at her with the intensity of a blaster shot, burning in her peripheral vision but Leia looks softer, almost pleading.
Damnit
When Han Solo screws up a supply run, Leia takes it upon herself to clean up his mess and ropes Jyn into a mission on Hosnian Prime, much to Cassian Andor's chagrin. There's no reason for him to worry about her, Jyn thinks. They're definitely just friends after all...but when Solo approaches Cassian with a plan to help, against his better judgment, he can't help but go along with the holo drama his life is turning into...

Summary
“I saw them drag him to the cell at the end of the hall when he was unconscious,” Steph mumbled quietly so as not to alert the guards as she moved through her stances with the blunt battle axe she favoured during practice. “Heard them talk about him being a fire bender.”
“No way, they’re all dead or in hiding,” someone scoffed from behind her, disbelief evident in his voice.
“Yeah, well, they’re obviously not hiding well enough if Ra’s has found one,” Stephanie said grunting.
OR
Jason has been a gladiator for Ra's for longer than he can remember, taken from his family when he was young, but the sudden appearance of a fire bender at the colosseum shakes things up in his previously rote existence for the better. Can Tim give Jason back the hope and spirit he'd lost at Ra's and Talia's hands or will they both end up ground down and yield to the Emperor's rule?Shelves: DC Comics

Summary
"Clark. What the hell is this," Lois asks, staring at Clark's Bruceman WIP folder. Clark's first instinct is to fly away, but that would still leave his fic on display for her to see. His second instinct is to blast a hole straight through his laptop screen with his heat vision, which isn't much better.
Clark, in an attempt to make some spare cash, unintentionally stumbles into the world of superhero fanfiction, becomes a prolific writer for Gotham's OTP, and tries his best to fend off rival fans who want him to convert to superbat instead.Shelves: DC Comics

Gods and Love Anthology by ColleenWritesMN
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
18 Mar 2022
Summary
Anthology containing:
Unbreakable
Kirishima was born blessed by the Sun God, the only person with crimson eyes in his village. He had his mother’s sharp teeth and sonorous voice and his father’s broad shoulders and dark hair, which his parents lamented: if only he’d been given fiery red hair to match his eyes. No one in the village had red hair, though it was said to emerge every other generation or so. Their village was truly the most favored of the Sun God, for their offerings were the most celebrated, the most lauded. And their tributes returned from the temple every year, which couldn’t be said for other villages.
When he turned twenty, Kirishima won the privilege of tribute, chosen for his sturdiness and unflappable spirit. The villagers wouldn’t go so far as to call him “the sun” – or risk godly vengeance – but a day never went by that he wasn’t helping someone bring in crops from the fields or carry water home from the nearby spring. If he frowned, only his parents witnessed it, because the villagers only received his blinding smile when he passed through the market. He was the ideal choice to bring the village offering for the year, for how could the Sun God resist that ready smile and shining red eyes.Of Gods and Dragons
Gods may live forever, but there are two things they're terrible at: communication and falling in love. While Bakugo and Kirishima are now married, will they find peace and happiness together? Can Midoriya calm the fuck down for one second and appreciate that Shoto is always there for him? And will Kaminari screw things up royally with the reticent demi-god Shinso?
One For All
The conclusion to the Love and Gods series. Most of our heroes and couples are separated as they brace for a war that may or may not come. Villains lurk behind a veil of blue fire, striking where least expected. New powers manifesting that defy control, and some new faces on both sides of the conflict. Who will emerge the victor, and who will be lost along the way to the final battle?

16 Mar 2022
Summary
A collection of interconnected ficlets, one shots, and stories, all focused on the Bat Family. All are based on the comics only, but blend assorted canons.
Anthology containing:
The Fears of a Father
Bruce doesn't handle loss well. He thought he removed most of the concern for that by keeping most people away and fighting for justice every night. Then an eight-year-old boy entered his life, his home, and quicker than he could have ever imagined, his heart. Bruce slowly starts to learn how to manage the fears of a father.
Tooth Fairy
The average child stops believing in mythical figures such as the tooth fairy around the age of eight.
Bruce Wayne didn’t know this when he adopted eight-year-old Dick Grayson.
Daddy
The first time Dick called Bruce ‘Daddy’ occurred when the boy was mostly asleep and his new father was putting him to bed. He was never aware that he’d said it.
The second time Dick called Bruce ‘Daddy’ occurred when the boy was running a fever and his new father was caring for him. He was too ill to recall anything he’d said after he recovered.
The third time Dick called Bruce ‘Daddy’ is the first instance he was aware of.
Robin Redbreast in a Cage
A Robin Redbreast in a cage puts all Heaven in a Rage. -William Blake.
They might be a different Trinity, one that operates out of Earth (and sometimes space), but it is still unwise to mess with their Robin. An up and coming crime lord learns this the hard way.
Batdad Contingency Plan
When Bruce first decided to not only take Dick in, but allow the boy to be Robin, he knew he might need a contingency plan should his son ever be injured in such a way that questions arose. Not necessarily about them being secret vigilantes, but about how the child keeps getting injured or showing early signs of sleep deprivation. He fully intends to keep Dick safe, but no matter what happens, no one is taking his son from him.
Shovel Talk
When Dick comes out to Bruce as a teenager, Bruce doesn't expect it change anything. Then a boy arrives at the Manor looking for Dick and he realizes, it does.
The Hero Gotham Needs
Tim considers the new Robin as he watches him.
National Grandparents Day
Jason hadn’t even known there was a National Grandparents Day. He never had grandparents.
But now he did.
One who was by far the coolest person Jason had ever met (and yes, that was counting Batman and Superman).
Alfred was his grandfather.
Here There Be Unicorns
When one of Young Justices early missions goes wrong, Tim makes an unexpected discovery.
Or maybe more than one.
Laughter
Most people, including the vast majority of the Justice League, would say that Batman never laughs.
This wasn’t propaganda. They truly believed the man never laughed. Mainly because they never heard him laugh. Even most of the few who knew who his identity would attest that he never laughed. They’d heard Bruce Wayne laugh on television or a video online, but it was never real. The laughter was just part of his disguise.
There were those who knew better, of course.
No More Dead Kids
Robin was the first. The first sidekick. The first child hero.
The first kid to meet a violent end orchestrated by one of the adult killers they so often faced.
He should have been the last.
He wasn’t.
If the grown-up heroes weren't going to make sure there weren't any more dead kids, then Jason would.
Laundry Day
Alfred normally could afford to let his concentration shift away from his chores. As of late, however, he finds that one particular duty has taken significantly more concentration. That being laundry.
It was always so simple before. He could never mistake an article of his own clothing for something of Bruce’s. The same went for Bruce and Dick or Jason. Even when his eldest two grew large enough to possibly borrow Bruce’s casual wear items, neither likely would. They had very different tastes. Even if Tim liked something of one of his elder brothers’, he would never fit into them. The same went for Cassandra. Certainly, one would never confuse any of Bruce’s laundry for Tim or Cassandra’s.
Tim and Cassandra’s clothes, however, were another story.
Tim's Superhero T-Shirts
Three reasons why Tim wears so many superhero t-shirts.
Godfather Batman to the Rescue
Bruce receives a call from his godson, Jon, when the boy is in need of help. Naturally, Bruce takes care of it.
The Failsafe
(Or: Tim finally gets a hold of some Kryptonite and Jason learns that his little brother might actually look up to him)
Jason Todd, Stealthy Big Brother
Jason Todd doesn't do the big brother thing. Except that sometimes, he does. He just doesn't let anyone know. Unsurprisingly, Tim and Cassandra figure it out anyway.
Red Bat of the Family
Or: Jason and his siblings try to make it work despite the gun thing.
Batdad Rules
Bruce knows he asks a lot of his children. He knows how very strict he is with them. Some say his rules are too rigid, that he’s too dominant, too controlling. Most of the people who say these things don’t have children and they certainly don’t have children who are secretly vigilantes. If they did, they would understand.
His rules are in place for a good reason.
That's not to say that he doesn't let a certain rule slip every now and then.
The Batdad Partition
Bruce has a partitioned hard drive on his phone and the ‘hidden’ partition has the most hardcore security on it. No one is getting into that part without his permission. Some members of the Justice League or Bat Family have discovered this and they all have theories on what he keeps on it.
The only one who has ever actually cracked it is Tim. It wasn't what anyone guessed. Not that he'll ever tell.
The Timmy Text Flowchart
AKA Tim is naturally suspicious and terrible at flirting so his siblings devise a quick way to help him when he just doesn't understand why one of his co-workers is behaving 'oddly'.
Bruised Batkids
When Bruce first took in Dick and allowed him to be Robin, hiding and sometimes explaining injuries was a big concern. Eventually, a natural excuse presented itself. The same stood true for each of Bruce's other children.
A Batdad Father's Day
Bruce's children each have their own way of acknowledging the holiday (or in some cases, not).
The Stand-In
Sometimes Tim felt like Tim Drake was just a stand-in for Robin. A placeholder in the world until the Boy Wonder was called on again. An elaborate cover story that only existed to hide the truth.
While the Bat's Away
Everything had fallen apart after Bruce died.
That’s what if felt like to his children anyway.
Batman was gone and the family he left behind were doing their best, but they weren’t him. They didn’t have his skill at hiding the person behind the mask so completely.
They were hurting and it showed.
They fell apart. Then they pulled themselves (and each other) back together.
Sweet Apologies
When Dick told Damian he had to apologise to Tim, he didn't expect the apology to be conventional but he certainly didn't expect this.
Height Checks
Damian is catching up to Tim's height. He can't wait to be taller than the second-youngest Wayne child. Unfortunately, he's the only one who doesn't know that Tim has no problem being the smallest. After all, he always was before Damian came along.
Bat-Cow and Kit-Cow
Damian decides that Bat-Cow needs companionship after visiting the Kent family farm. He and Jon come up with a plan. They really need to learn that not everything is a secret mission.
Dex-Starr Finds a New Home
In which Tim Drake-Wayne finally gets the cat he's always wanted and Bruce Wayne finally spends some quality time with his boys.
Bat Family Projects
Bruce and his children start a group text chain, work on another family project, pick up some new hobbies, confront a few issues and make some good memories.
It seemed they weren’t going to run out of family projects for some time. Bruce was glad for that. He was even glad it meant receiving more off subject texts from his kids. When it came down to it, no matter how much extra work or time it might take, he would rather be part of his children’s lives than not.
Cassandra's Sleeping Habits
Cassandra has her own apartment. Bruce got it for her after it wasn’t safe for her to live at Barbara’s place anymore. What he didn’t know, was that Cassandra rarely ever uses the apartment.
Bat-Pizza's Grand Re-Opening!

One Step Forward
Wanting to improve their relationship, Bruce decides to invite Jason to dinner at the Manor. It doesn't go as smoothly as planned, but he thinks he's making progress anyway.
Or: Bruce finally stops using the eggplant emoji.
By Love or Fate
At a social gathering, Bruce meets a charming elderly woman and talks about his children. In doing so, he realizes how much his kids mean to him and how much they've changed him for the better.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time
How each member of the Bat Family makes a PB&J.
Day of the Un-Dead
When the Wayne family is finally ready to bring Jason back from the dead legally, they decide to have a private celebration first. Nothing particularly noteworthy happens when compared to the sort of things the family usually does together, but its still one of the best nights of Bruce's life.
Another Batdad Father's Day
Bruce's children decide to do something a little different this year. It doesn't go exactly as planned, but it still becomes one of his favorite Father's Days.
Batfamily Scars
Moonlighting as a vigilante came with no small number of challenges. Explaining where your time and money went. Explaining injuries and absences for yourself and your children. Explaining how you came about adopting said children. Explaining other relationships, like how a born and raised Gothamite billionaire knew a Metropolis reporter originally from Kansas.
It also meant you gathered a fair number of scars that you had to explain occasionally.
Last Laugh, First Steps
Running a large portion of the Gotham underground as a benevolent crime lord was harder than Jason thought it would be, but still well within the range of what he could handle. All in all, it wasn’t that different from being the type of vigilante Bruce had trained him to be become. He was feeling like he was doing a decent job as part of the Bat Family these days. The Wayne family, he wasn't so sure about.
Until he receives an unexpected call from Dick while on patrol one night and the words he hears next change everything.
Tim's hurt...the Joker's involved. B and Little D are out of town. Cass is here with me and it’ll take us too long t-
“Where?”
His death. His anger. His father. His role as a brother, as a son, as a grandson. Jason decides its time to take it all on. If he's going to help his little brother recover, then he's going to have to heal himself as well.
A Dark Place
Conner stops by to see Tim after he's kidnapped by the Joker. Tim isn't in a good place but his best friend and his big brother are there to help. And, of course, there's Dex.
Nightmares
After what they've both suffered at the hands of the Joker, Jason and Tim tend to have nightmares featuring the Rogue. Fortunately, they both also have each other to help them cope with the horrific dreams. The nightmares might be bad, but the time they're awake more than makes up for them.
I, Dex-Starr
How Dex came to be Tim's cat, and how he handles his owner being hurt, from his perspective.
Better Late Than Never
The Bat Family finally gets around to reading the Harry Potter books (or in some cases not). While sharing this new interest, they end up touching on a subject long avoided and Bruce has to wonder if ‘late’ is truly much better than ‘never’.
The House Tournament
Dick decided that their family, and several friends, should take a Hogwarts House quiz after Alfred got all the kids to check out the Harry Potter books. They ended up with pretty decent house teams once it was all done. When they realized this, it was decided that an multi-house tournament was needed. In order to balance out the teams, they decided on a video game tournament.
In which the Waynes, the Kents, and a few other friends have a team video game tournament.
Homecoming
After being brought back from the dead physically and then legally, the night of Jason's homecoming ball is finally here. He just wants it over with. He's happy to be able to publicly use his name and acknowledge his family. Having to wear a tuxedo, talk to reporters, and deal with upper class busybodies, not so much.
For better or worse, Jason Todd-Wayne is officially back in Gotham.
The Wayne Family Petting Zoo
Sending his son to Lian's birthday party should have been simple. Bruce didn't know about the petting zoo, or duck mating habits. He didn't expect it to turn into a whole project that involved each of his children. He didn't expect it to trigger his youngest child's temper.
He also didn't expect his other children to know exactly how to handle it, but they did.
Bruce was never more proud than when he saw them helping each other. That was something that was happening more often as of late. If basically having a petting zoo on the grounds meant he saw even more of it, then Bruce supposed he could deal with a few more animals.
The Talk of Relationships Past
In which Bruce, Dick, Jason, and Tim end up discussing their failed relationships in order to figure out who is best suited talk to Damian about romance and dating after he demands his father set aside some time to have The Talk.
Bat Family R&D
In which Jason and Bruce realize that Tim has become the entire family's R&D department after he is incommunicado for only a couple of days.
Father-Son Camping Trip
When Batman met Superman, he was mistrustful. When Bruce Wayne met Clark Kent, he was suspicious. Between saving the world together, forming the Justice League, and helping each other as they raised several kids, they became friends.
As their children became friends and they started to spend more and more time together, being guests at each other’s houses, taking a pair of their kids somewhere together, and supporting each other when one of their children threw them a curve ball became regular occurrences. They were exposed to many of the same interests through their children. They were exposed to many of the same concerns.
Eventually this leads the Wayne family (at least, some of them) and the Kent family to go on a joint father-son camping trip.
Home Hunting
For all the different places Cassandra had lived, she’d never actually had to go apartment hunting before. She’d either crashed with a friend or family member, moved from one temporary dwelling to another, or her father or little brother set something up for her. So when she moved to Bludhaven, she didn’t exactly come with a long-term plan.
Fortunately, her big brother had her covered.
Roses
This story should read well on it's own, but it references a few other stories from this series:
'Dex-Starr Finds a New Home' (Wherein Dex becomes Tim's cat & gets his catio).
'Last Laugh, First Steps' (Wherein the Joker kidnaps Tim, Jason and Bruce have the fight mentioned here, and it's first suggested that Cassandra should move back to Blüdhaven).
'Home Hunting' (Wherein Dick helps Cassandra find her apartment in Blüdhaven).Cassandra breaking into Tim's apartment to take super long showers and eat all his Rice Krispies is from Robin #134.

Kidnapping the Waynes

The Trysting
The story of Tim Wayne's kidnapping during Kidnapping the Waynes.
Talk of Relationships Past and Future
Bruce finally gets around to talking to Damian about dating and romance, and especially, how to avoid the issue in balancing that with a secret identity that he and the boy's brothers have experienced. He decided to make it a family discussion, so everyone learns a few things, plus some old hurts and secrets come out. There's fighting, and comforting, and some joking around. It doesn't go the way Bruce expected, but all in all, he thinks he goes well.
Bat-Naps
Each of Bruce's children have been known to be able to nap just about anywhere.
Robin and Pup Pup

A Painful Q&A
After Bruce learned that Jason had revenge sex with one of his exes, he wanted to make sure said ex wasn't a threat to his son or anyone else's children. Since Jason wouldn't tell him who she was, Tim agreed to look into it for him.

Flowers

Ficlets & Headcannons
A collection of Bat Family mini ficlets and headcannons that add to this universe I've built here but aren't really a full story in their own right.
Uncomfortable Situations
Based on a comment a friend of mine made on the nude scene in Batman: Damned. "I don't care that they showed Batman's genitals, I care that he showed his genitals in the cave, right where any of his kids could have walked in and seen him."
So here are five one-shots depicting what might have happened if any one of Bruce's children came into the cave on that morning and found their father just hanging out there naked.
Concern, discomfort, confusion, shame, and questions about masturbation ensue.

Dick steps in when cannibalism comes up. Tim and Bruce have a separate but related argument when Tim decides Bruce needs to start respecting Damian's values. And everything gets settled one way or another.
Its the holidays. Its what brothers do.
Thankful
A sweet moment between brothers occurs when Jason comes home for Thanksgiving.
Holiday Shopping
Bruce agrees to go shopping on Black Friday with all his kids. Fun, guilt, bonding, frustration, and a holiday resolution ensue.
Vantage Point
Clark never used his powers to spy on his children. That didn’t mean he didn’t use his powers to check on them at times, but that wasn’t the same thing at all. Spying was seeing what they were doing for no reason other than he wanted to know or catch them doing something. Checking on them was because he’d heard, seen, or felt something that made him concerned there might be something going on with one of them that he needed to help with or address.
Conner was at the age (and of the personality type) that keeping an ear out when he had a girl over was just smart. Recently though, Clark had found himself nursing a concern that he wasn’t sure was warranted or not. He wasn’t sure what to make of some incidents involving Conner and Tim.
Holiday Tales
A collection of short stores that take place during the holiday season.
Advent
Bruce puts together an Advent Calendar for Damian. Thoughts on family and parenthood ensue.

Bat Family Text Chain
A series of one shots showing some of the discussions from the Wayne family text chain.
Just Us Communicating
Series Summary: A one-shot series featuring communications over comms or texts from the current and former members of Young Justice.
Keeping Track
When Jason and Tim start working on a project to be able to keep each other safer, they end up learning something new about their eldest brother.
Elite Fairy Godmothers
Cassandra wasn’t normally excited about balls, especially ones that her brothers weren’t going to be attending. However, she was looking forward to a night with her father, even in such a setting. And she was happy to help a worthy cause, in however small a way.
Of course, her life being what it was, Cassandra marked the ball on her calendar and then ultimately forgot about it over the next two weeks, while she fought crime, trained their new teammates, worked at the Studio, practiced her dancing, and worked with Harper to turn her new hearse into a kick-ass vigilante vehicle. In fact, she forgot until it was really too late to be working out the details.
Twenty-two minutes later, she was in the secret base of the Blüdhaven Bomben, with her team fully prepared to finish getting her ball-ready in record time, like a group of elite fairy godmothers. Assuming fairy godmothers could beat up mobsters and solve crimes in their spare time as well as make a young woman ball-ready in less than two hours.
Boy Wonders
In both Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Penitentiary, the young vigilante known as Robin was something of a hot topic. The patients and inmates often traded notes on the Boy Wonder in an attempt to figure out just how many there had actually been to date. They tried to figure out what had happened to each one. They tried to guess which Robin had put each of them there at what time.
Playing Roles and Being Real
Tim, Jason, Damian, Conner, Bizarro, and Jon decide to play a game of Wizards & Warriors. It does not go as planned, but they end up having a good time anyway, even if an out of game detour results in one boy in tears, another with a mild injury, and a small fire in the den.
Where Children Come From
A nurse at the hospital observes Bruce Wayne as he waits for news about one of his children and answers a difficult question from a child waiting to meet his little brother.
“Do you have kids, mister? Where do they come from?”
Cookie Sales, Questions, and New Directions
Bruce sales some Brown Bat cookies alongside Tim and Lian Harper. This leads to some unexpected questions and some very concerning answers.
Bat Trolls
Dick, Jason, and Tim use fake online profiles to keep the Batman's urban legend status among civilians while also making him all the more terrifying to criminals.
After all, it was hard enough to sell someone on the idea of a vigilante dressed a bat running around Gotham for years without being caught on camera. Adding to that rumors of vampirism, ghosts, cyborgs, time-travel, and the like just make it even harder to believe. Unless the someone you were selling it to happened to be caught by the Batman one day. Then, it was hard to know what to believe.
World's Finest: Red Robin & Robin
In which Tim and Damian team up and have a few needed discussions, Dick gets some reassurance that he's loved, and Damian gets a pet alpaca (sort of).
Damian didn't know where it would go, this path they’d started upon. He knew he was likely to lose his temper or lash out at several points along the way.
He also knew he wanted to see where that road lead them.Mystic Blades and Little Brothers
Both can cut you and protect you. Jason is reminded of this the first time he summons the All-Blades in Tim's presence and has to explain what they are and how he uses them.
Little Brothers, Big Problems
Dick didn't think arranging for his little brothers to see a charity showing of Big Hero 6 together was going to lead to any turmoil or life altering decisions, but in hindsight, he really shouldn't be surprised.
Reflection
Tim had taken to avoiding mirrors for a while now.
He was aware that it was a very short term solution to a very permanent problem.
He didn’t know what else to do.
Alfred Pennyworth: The Man, The Myth, The Legend
Alfred Pennyworth first became a legend to Her Royal Majesty's Infantry Rangers and MI6 .
Then, more importantly to him, he became one to his grandchildren.
Through their stories, he became a legend to an entire generation of young heroes.
This caught the attention of Princess Diana and led to him becoming a legend to the Amazons of Themyscira and Bana-Mighdall.
Then, he became one to the very gods the Amazons worshiped.
One day, he may even learn of how far his legend goes himself.Profiles
