Summary
"WhereamI?"
His words are slurred. He can't remember what was the last thing he was doing. How come he's staring face to face with an unfamiliar kid?
"In the hallway."
"Yeah, which building though?"
The kid tells him the name and his head feels like it’s splitting as memories come back. This is the house where Tim used to live. Damn.
AKA
Jason ends up in wrong time. Meeting the 8 year old Tim and taking care of him is not what he's supposed to do in a situation like this. But that's what happens.Shelves: DC Comics

Summary
When Tim’s parents start working with Lex Luthor, there’s only one thing to do.
--
“Alright,” Steph said, after she’d tried and failed to suffocate Tim with his own pillow for taking her phone. “So what’s the next step of the plan, then? Does Superman have his own hotline? Do we just go to Metropolis and yell about it a lot?”
That might work, actually, but it would create a lot of opportunities for Luthor to know what Tim had done. Which would create a lot of opportunities for Tim’s dad to know what Tim had done, and for Tim to get disappeared by goons and drowned in the harbor, or sent to a reform school without any computer science classes, or something.
“Metropolis yes,” Tim said, “yelling no.”

Anthology containing:
Caged In
“Just put him in his cage, Jack,” his mother’s voice cut through Tim’s head and made his insides go cold. “He obviously wants to be an animal, so it’s only fitting that he be treated like one.”
Tim doesn't have a healthy relationship with his childhood cage.
A Linsang in Hand
Most shifter kids have complete control of their shifts and can seamlessly transition from one form into another. The process should be voluntary and never fear-inducing.
But that isn't true for the newest Robin.
Jason finds this out as he's breaking into the Titans Tower.
holding on and letting go
Jason loves his brother; he really does. But that didn't stop him from being annoying.
Usually, Jason can handle when the sugar glider shifter gets under his skin, but one time he can't and it leads to heart-stopping results.
**Whumptober: Bruises**
Animal Tales
A collection of quick drabbles and snippets originally posted on tumblr and set in my Bestiola - Small Animals AU verse.
They are quick and fun.
Not Perfect, but Getting There
Jason knew that Tim’s inability to control his shifts weighed on him the most. He knew that Tim couldn’t control when he went furry and that it terrified him when he was suddenly tiny. He knew that Tim felt helplessly useless whenever he was stuck in a body that couldn’t even turn a doorknob by itself.
That didn’t mean that he wasn’t still a bossy little rat.

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?

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!
Dick has lunch with Damian, teaches him about pizza parties and eggplant emoji, and tries to plant the seeds for a better relationship between Damian and Tim. Its a bit of work, being the eldest Wayne child, but Dick loves it.
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.
Little does he know, they're about to save him again. And not in the usual way.
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.
Cassandra got the rose mentioned here in Batgirl #17 and kept it until she left it in Brenda's care in Batgirl #66.
The destruction of Blüdhaven mentioned here takes place during Infinite Crisis.Learning to Let Go
Stephanie Brown stops by Jason and Tim's place to ask a favor. They discover that sometimes, the people involved in a failed relationship move on easier than those around them. Blüdhaven gets a new crime fighting team and the eldest Wayne brothers get into a brief texting war that goes bad quick. There's also a shootout and some lessons learned. Considering how strange things can get in their world, it all actually goes really well.
Alfred's Latest Scrapbook
Bruce takes a peek at Alfred's latest scrapbook. Feelings ensue.
Kidnapping the Waynes
Someone wants to exploit Bruce Wayne. They decide to go after his children, hiring Rogues and criminals to do their dirty work. Fortunately, the Wayne family is much more capable than Bruce's enemies expect. Alone, they're impressive. Together, they're unstoppable.
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
How Tim came to own a Robin plush and how Jason's Pup Pup plush got a friend.
The Wrath Returns
When there's a quiet breakout at Blackgate, an old enemy returns and Alfred gets a first-hand view of how Jason and Tim work as a team and under pressure. Watching them in action is both beautiful and terrifying and he is incredibly proud of the two boys. When Bruce returns in the middle of it all, he has to opportunity to offer some guidance. After all, Alfred was the adopted father of a genius vigilante long before Bruce was.
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.
Which is how the boy finds himself sitting face to face with Talia al Ghul as they have a discussion that brings up the most recent worst moments in each of their lives. He gets answers, but is left with some painful questions as well.
Flowers
Damian learns a little about flower language and lot about family.
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.
Happy Little Accidents
Bruce and Lois have a quiet, friendly moment at a gala. Memories of their children make them laugh and cry a little.
Tricks and Treats and Bats and Birds
While visiting their friends at the Kent family farm, Jason, Tim, and Damian end up making some unexpected plans for Halloween. A pie-off, pumpkin carving, figuring out costumes, trick or treating, and of course, patrolling Gotham are all on the agenda.
Nightwing and His Blüdhaven Bomben
Nightwing's Blüdhaven Bomben gain another member and a base of operations. Tim and Wally each visit, and everyone has a pretty good Halloween.
The Wayne Studio of Arts and Acrobatics
When Bruce bought a building in Blüdhaven for Dick and Cassandra to use as a base of operations for their crime fighting team, the family realized they needed an explanation for it. Fortunately, they came up with something pretty quick.
The Wayne Studio of Arts and Acrobatics.
Gothamite Spotlight
An interview with Bruce Wayne's children, as printed in the Gotham Gazette's new column: Gothamite Spotlight.
Topics include Bruce Wayne's parenting techniques and how they've changed from child to child; the names we choose, use, and live under; kidnappings; Wayne Enterprises; pets; Jason Todd-Wayne's 'death' and return to Gotham; Alfred Pennyworth, the unofficial grandfather; jobs; friendships and romances; living under public scrutiny; and the meaning of family.
AKA: A look into what the Gotham public sees, hears, and believes about the Wayne family and how the Waynes help shape their public images.
Talk Turkey
Jason and Damian get into a brief but heated argument when Jason brings up his favorite holiday -Thanksgiving- and its customary dish, which Damian takes issue with. 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.
Holiday Trappings
Jason has always been a man of action more than a man of words. He knows he's never been great at the traditional family stuff, so he decides to use the holidays to show his family and friends how much they mean to him.
Boxing Day (AKA: Alfred Pennyworth Appreciation Day)
Boxing Day is not typically observed in the United States. However, it has long been celebrated in Stately Wayne Manor, where one Alfred Pennyworth resides.
A Good Day for Damian Wayne
A day in the life of Damian Wayne that includes vaccines for Joker Venom and Fear Toxin (along with some side effects), training with his sister, lunch with his favorite brother, ice cream, bonding with his siblings while they teach him how to play games that don't involve winning or losing, and dinner with the family.
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

Through the Eyes of the Beholder Anthology by acuteneurosis
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
20 Jan 2022
Summary
An incident can mean different things to different people. The beauty of it isn't always seen from one perspective because what matters is different in the eyes of each beholder.
And sometimes, even one person is seeing things from two different perspectives.
Anthology containing:
For Want of a Skywalker
After the miracle of having survived Bespin, Piett does not ask why they are stopping on Tatooine. Or why Lord Vader suddenly has acquired a small child. Or why this child's name is Luke. Or how long they are going to keep him.
He probably should have.
From a Father Point of View
A collection of one-shots, behind-the-scenes moments from For Want of a Skywalker from a Dark Lord/Father point of view. Separated from the main text because really, For Want was supposed to be lighthearted and funny over all and one cannot get into Vader's head and be there for more than ten seconds before he is depressing and dark and sad. Even when he is being around Luke.
But that doesn't mean some of this won't be utterly adorable.
From a Rebel Point of View
A collection of one-shots, behind-the-scenes moments from For Want of a Skywalker from a not-quite-Jedi/Brother/Son point of view. Separated from the main text because really it was just funnier with Piett telling that story.
But that doesn't mean Luke didn't have a lot to say about it.
From a Princess Point of View
A collection of one-shots, behind-the-scenes moments from For Want of a Skywalker from a Princess/Sister/Daughter point of view. Separated from the main text because she spent so much time in that story being above it all and beside herself.
But that doesn't mean she didn't have a stake in it.
From a Solo Point of View
A collection of one-shots, off-screen and post-story moments from For Want of a Skywalker from a smuggler/best friend/not-quite boyfriend point of view. Separated from the main text because Han missed pretty much everything.
But that doesn't mean he did nothing.
From an Amirable Point of View
A collection of one-shots, behind-the-scenes moments from For Want of a Skywalker from a beleaguered, overworked admiral's point of view. Separated from the main text because that story was finished.
But that doesn't mean Piett's work was done.
From a Wookiee Point of View
A one-shot, post-story moment from For Want of a Skywalker from a wookiee/copilot/veteran point of view. Separated from the main text because Chewie knows when to keep his mouth shut.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have opinions.
From a Soldier Point of View
A collection of one-shots, off-screen and post-story moments from For Want of a Skywalker from a soldier/old friend/Skywalker wrangler point of view. Separated from the main text because Rex is not dead.
But that doesn't mean he's thrilled about it.

Seriida! Iisero! Nyoomtape! Anthology by orphan_account
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
03 Jul 2021
Summary
it started as a crack ship but now i ship it unironically send help
Anthology containing:
We'll Do It Together
Sero Hanta will become a hero to protect his family.
Iida Tenya will become a hero to honor his family.
Both find unexpected friends at UA.
And they find one another.
Now they have to make a choice-- one another or their friends.
OR
Romeo and Juliet inspired (kinda, it's basically just a secret dating au lol) seriida story based on this Tumblr post by literallyglitchn
I just loved the concept so much that I had to write it.
updates sporadically
Stupid with Sick
Sero has a lot to do with school— everyone else is working so hard, he doesn’t have time to slow down! He doesn’t have time to get sick! He doesn’t get sick!
(Well maybe he feels a little sick to his stomach when Iida comes around, but that’s just because he’s ridiculously hot.)
Game Night
Iida knows a lot of things. He knows his classmates will become great heroes one day. He knows he loves his brother more than life itself. He knows he’s bad at board games.
And he knows he’s hopelessly in love with Sero Hanta.
Rid of the Monsters Inside Your Head
After a long night of studying with his boyfriend, Iida goes to bed, but his slumber is anything but peaceful...
How Dare They!
There's nothing worse than being alone on Valentine's Day. Especially when your friends ditch you for dates of their own.
Except Sero isn't completely alone.
A Bittersweet Bouquet
He should've done something earlier. But he didn't.
So now he only had one choice.
Problem Solver
Sero was bad at studying. He'd tried everything, yet his brain somehow managed to mess everything up.
Fortunately for him, Iida has a few tricks up his sleeve that need to be put to the test.
Care For a Cup?
Sero can't sleep.
Iida can't either.
May I Have This Dance?
Sero was going to kill Mina. That alien bitch was going to pay for doing this to him.
But as of now, he had to get all dolled up and pretend to be Iida's fiancé.
Fuck.
Lips Sealed Shut
Sero's been acting weird.
Sharing Marks
Sero feels bad for his soulmate. It had to be annoying to deal with all of those scars.
Notes Scribbled Down on Skin
Hanta was six when his soulmate first wrote to him.
Stupid Selfish Tenya
War is not a gentle thing.

there is no death (there is a wedding) Anthology by virdant
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
12 Jan 2021
Summary
a collection of one-shots where obi-wan marries jango's ghost... only to find out that jango is not dead.
“Well.” Obi-Wan was not apprenticed to one of the best negotiators in the Order for nothing. “There is no death, there is the Force,” he recited. “So, I didn’t marry Jango Fett’s ghost, I married the Force. And as Jedi, our commitment is to the Force…”
Anthology containing:
there is no death (there is a wedding)
Obi-Wan Kenobi gets married to the Mand'alor's ghost during his time in the Mandalore system.
This is a little more complicated than it needs to be, given that Jango Fett is not dead.
--
“Well.” Obi-Wan was not apprenticed to one of the best negotiators in the Order for nothing. “There is no death, there is the Force,” he recited. “So, I didn’t marry Jango Fett’s ghost, I married the Force. And as Jedi, our commitment is to the Force…”
there is no ignorance (there is a family reunion)
Anakin is sent to Kamino to meet up with Obi-Wan, only to realize that some long-held assumptions of his are false.
--
“You told me you were married to the Force!” Anakin shouts.
“Really,” Obi-Wan says, in the same calm tones he used when he was first explaining to Anakin that no, he was not interested in going out with anybody, he was married, you see, to the Force. “I didn’t know that Jango was alive when I got married, and you know that all beings rejoin the Force when we die, so I really did believe that I was married to the Force.”
“I thought it was a metaphor! Like you were really into being a Jedi!”
--
a sequel? inter-connected one-shot? thing related to there is no death (there is a wedding)
there is no passion (there is a negotiation)
Jango thought that the Negotiation would be something like this.
Obi-Wan would say that he didn’t want the clones to be an army. Jango would say that a job is a job, and that he couldn’t take that back now. The lawyer would hem and haw and eventually help them come to some sort of conclusion, and then Jango would take Obi-Wan back to their rooms for a private discussion.
Instead, the lawyer says: “It appears that during your legal separation, you have signed your rights to your children away.”
--
Jango meets a lawyer and some guests. Things go about as well as they could.
Dear Qui-Gon: Or, Dooku Exchanges Letters With His Former Padawan
In which letters are exchanged between a grandmaster and a master that are not passive aggressive in any way.
[an interlude]
there is no emotion (there is a parenting lesson)
“Jango,” Obi-Wan said, “We need to talk.”
A shiver ran up Jango’s spine. The last time Obi-Wan said they needed to talk, Jango ended up with a million clones of himself signed into his and Obi-Wan’s joint custody. Obi-Wan, for all of his mild demeanor, has a way of convincing Jango.
Jango was well and truly fucked, so he might as well—
“Right,” Jango attempted, “Bedroom?”
--
Obi-Wan and Jango have a Discussion about their children.

The Moon, the Sun, and the Star Inbetween. by Silvershine
Fandoms: Star Wars, Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)
18 Mar 2016
Summary
The Force moves in mysterious ways, and sometimes it even has its own agenda. Rey finds herself caught in a battle with fate that throws her together with Kylo Ren, binding them together in the most powerful way possible... only to have fate drop her like a hot potato.
A broken Force Bond isn't the easiest thing to bear, especially when the one you're missing is your sworn enemy and the father of your child.
Warning: Parenting: Skywalker Style.
(Kind of a deconstruction of the X-made-them-do-it-to-have-a-child fics, which always seem to end once a kid is born, whereas I'm more interested in what comes AFTER the not so happily-ever-after.)
