    Summary

    Team up with a teen vigilante once and you'll never get rid of him again. Helena didn't sign up for any of this.

    Anthology containing:

    Robins Don't Make Great Roommates

    The first time Robin showed up in her apartment without warning, he damn near gave Helena a heart attack. It also happened the next time, and the time after that. Look, didn’t the kid have anyone else he could bother?

    (Or: During Knightquest, Robin just shows up at Helena’s apartment and refuses to leave. He grows on her, kind of like mold.)


    Brothers Have the Worst Timing

    Tim crashes Dick and Helena’s ill-advised one-night stand; this is awkward for everyone involved.


    Batman for Dummies

    In the aftermath of the quake that shook Gotham, Helena Bertinelli takes on the mantle of the Bat. (It isn’t like Batman’s using it.) If she’d known the cowl came with a certain moralizing little bird following her around — well, she probably still would’ve done it, but it would’ve been nice to know in advance.

    (Or: Tim and Helena team up 2: electric boogaloo. Now with more bats!)

  2. Summary

    Sleep had been a fleeting gift since he moved out of the Tower, but considering how much time he'd spent frozen at the bottom of the sea, he didn't see it as a problem (at least not one as big as the government funded scientists looking for an excuse to cut him open.)

    He was still a fully functional supersoldier capable of following orders but they were determined to find a flaw or misstep so they could loot him for blood and parts.

    He shook out of his thoughts, throwing back the covers and giving up on sleep and heading out for a pre-run meal.

    Nat, Clint and Happy warned him about parking his motorcycle on the street because 'it's Jersey, Steve', but he wasn't going to pay for storage or take a train if he needed to get somewhere in a hurry.  He could be scary if he needed to and nobody would dare fuck with his bike.

    AKA: Steve moves to Jersey for a break and makes an old friend, and some new ones.

  3. Summary

    Tim Drake didn't quite know what he was agreeing to four years ago, but he tried to make the best of it! Using notes from his past (future?) self, he (somewhat messily) tried to help everyone his other self cared for. Now, it's four years later and he can mostly ignore the second set of memories lying in the back of his brain. It'd be much easier if Dick Grayson would just leave him alone. If Tim believed in destiny he might actually think that the universe cared about what was lost.

    Dick Grayson has spent the last year feeling like he's veered off course. Something keeps itching at the back of his brain. He's missed some clue. Helena Bertinelli's promised to help him crack down on human trafficking, but Dick thinks her foster kid might actually be more help in that department.

    Summary

    There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays that whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.


    Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.

    Summary

    The BatFam, as according to me and not DC

    Anthology containing:

    Being Alone is So Cold (And You Are So Warm)

    Tim wants one person on his team to know his name, just for now. Superboy may seem like an unlikely candidate but he trusts Kon. And honestly? More than trust, Tim just doesn't want to feel alone for once in his life.


    A Little Secret

    Clark meets the new Robin. This Robin smiles with a glacier-like coldness and breathes secret names with an ease that makes Clark freeze.


    Blackberry Tea

    An Alfred Pennyworth view of his almost-son Bruce and the child who decided to save him.


    A Weapon is a Girl

    She was nothing.
    She was a weapon.
    She is Cass.


    Shadow Girls, Shadow Boys, They Haunt Every Corner

    There is a girl lurking in the shadows of Jason's room. When he sleeps, the girl paralyzes him and reminds him of a bird's wings.

    There is a boy creeping silently into Jason's spaces. When he is not there, the boy slips in and leaves confusion in his wake.


    Tim's School of Passable Normality

    After Kon asks a random question about something fairly normal, Tim decides that he should introduce Kon and Bart to some of the most normal, teenager things he knows of. Is it a coping mechanism to deal with the major upheavals in his life? Um, well, maybe, but Kon and Bart deserve normal things! It's just that...Tim is really, really weird and his perception of normal is definitely messed up.


    Heavy is the Head That Bears the Cowl

    They're on opposite sides of the world, but Dick and Tim are both making bad decisions together. Funny how these things work, isn't it?


    Red Atheris

    Atheris Hispida:
    A species of viper. Previously, the venom of said viper was not thought to be particularly dangerous. This misconception has been corrected in the recent years of study revealing that the venom of this ambush predator can cause severe hemorrhaging of internal organs.


    The Nest

    Tim makes a Nest. Is it a bird's Nest or a snake's? Depends on who you are.


    Do You Stay the Same or Change Your Ways?

    Bruce returns to a home that isn't whole anymore. Does he stay the same, mission oriented and content with his empty home? Or does he change and become a man who might be a better father, a better human?


    Consultation Work

    Jason expects the first work he does with Red Robin to be some kind of drugs bust or trafficking take down. It's actually consultation work for the Neon Knights' Project Rebirth.


    CODE: Caroline

    When a need for an undercover agent surfaces, there's only one Bat for the job. Tim never realized how different his training was until CODE: Caroline put into action.


    Doctor, Except for Everything, I Am Perfectly Fine

    Alfred and Bruce decide they have to update the kids' medical information. If the others aren't a fan if this, then Tim is even worse. Guess who's missing his spleen?


    Sebastian Ives and the Particularly Strange Friend Group

    Ives is back in town and calls up his old friends to hang out. Only, Tim wants them all to meet his best friends. Ives should really plan for Tim more often.


    Jason and the Spooks

    Jason, regrettably, has to team up with Red Robin and Black Bat. Actually, maybe this isn't the worst thing possible. Vegan dark chocolate peanut butter cups are involved.

    When the Batfam fights Darkseid, Bruce is hit with his beams. He vaporises on the spot. Damian, who shouldn't even be there, freaks out and runs into the field. Tim protects him from the worst but he, too, gets hit by a stray beam. He falls into a coma. The Batfam refuses to be lead by Dick, and everyone except Steph and Alfred leave.

    Summary

    Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.

    She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.

    “Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.

    “You long to go back.”

    “Yes.”

    “For a different outcome.”

    Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”

    “I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”

    Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

    Summary

    Tim Drake is on the way home from school when he's taken by a group of strange men. When he comes to he's tied up in an unfamiliar house.

    With his captors failing to reach his parents for ransom, he's able to escape, only to discover he's no longer in Gotham, and he has no way home.

    --

    “I could, but that’s the fine if you don’t come over next weekend.” Jason explains. “Because now B’s going to be all broody this weekend, and if I have to deal with that two weekends in a row, I get to eat your chips.”

    “Alright, fine I’ll come over next weekend if you're so…” Dick trails off as he notices something strange on the sidewalk in front of him. “Jay I’ve got to go, I’ll call you back.”

    “Dick, Wha-” Dick hangs up before Jason can finish, he feels bad, but this is more pressing. A small figure is trudging through the storm, occasionally stumbling like they’re injured. Far too tiny to be an adult.

    Summary

    If you're looking for some time travel chaos, Batfamily Banter, and heart-pounding action scenes, you've come to the right place!

    This series currently includes Deja Vu, which follows Dick as he finds himself stranded back in time... and Rewind, Deja Vu's sequel, where Past versions of Bruce and Tim struggle to use their newfound knowledge of the future to help the other members of the Batfamily.

    More installments will probably be added eventually, and Deja Vu can be read as a standalone or in tandem with the other works in the series.

    Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!

    Anthology containing:

    Deja Vu

    Dick's heart flutters rapidly. What's he doing in Gotham? Alone. And on a random rooftop?
    Frowning, he presses a finger to his ear, activating the comm.
    "Uh... hello?"

    Or… the time Nightwing finds himself in the past and has to find his way home without totally destroying the timeline. Too bad it won’t be easy for him… With Bruce investigating a new, yet familiar antihero, Dick trying to unravel the mystery of how he got here in the first place, and a snooping Tim looking way younger than Dick remembers… this is going to be a long night.


    Rewind

    Bruce edges closer to the crater, rubble crunching under his foot. He eyes the bottom then lifts his eyes to the partially standing alley walls that surround the area.
    “We were supposed to merge… right?” Tim says hesitantly. “Older Me said we were supposed to merge but—”
    “We didn’t,” Bruce finishes somberly. “We didn’t merge.”

    Or...
    After the events of Deja Vu, Past versions of Bruce and Tim are left in a new, branching timeline with vital information about the future. Bruce has learned that at some point in the future, he and Dick make up. That Jason is alive and terrorizing Gotham as the Red Hood. And that Bruce has a son: Damian Wayne, who is being kept somewhere in the world by Ra's al Ghul. Not much about this new timeline is certain, but Bruce is sure of one thing. He is going to Save. His. Sons. and bring them all home.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson wasn’t meant to be the last one left. He wasn’t meant to stand in the ashes of a world that had been picked clean, with nothing but ghosts and regrets to keep him company. But he fought until there was nothing left to fight for—until even Gotham’s ruins turned silent.

    Then, when all hope was gone, a desperate sorcerer offered him the impossible: a second chance. A way back. A chance to rewrite the past before The Light won, before his family fell, before his world crumbled to dust.

    Now, he wakes up in his thirteen-year-old body, the weight of an entire lost future pressing down on his shoulders. The halls of Mount Justice are untouched, filled with laughter and life—but all he can see are the names that will one day be carved into headstones. Every choice is a loaded gun. Every secret is a ticking clock. And the people he loves most? They have no idea what’s coming for them.

    He won’t let it happen again.

    No matter what it takes.

    Summary

    Dick sags against the kitchen counter, spent and numb. He has no fight left in him. He’ll never be responsible for Tim and Jason being thrown in that system, separated and alone, starving, and… he flashes to what he's heard happens to boys alone in the system. That will never happen to Tim or Jason. He’s damn sure about that.

    And if Dick has to take a few hits to keep them safe, so be it. He can do that. Easily. Happily.

    Or, AU where Bruce Wayne isn't there when John & Mary plummet to their deaths. With no Bruce Wayne to take him in and the circus disbanded, Dick Grayson is thrown into the brutal reality of Gotham City's foster care system. Death follows him from the circus to the Drakes, and to Sheila Todd, where he accidentally starts a collecting little boys and tucking them under his wings.

    Dick Grayson is going to keep his brothers safe. He's going to make sure they all survive. And if he has to fend off drug addicts, gang members, and the weird Death Curse that seems to follow him, he'll do just that.

    He’d been mistaken – never in his life has he experienced pain like this.

    It’s like staring in a funhouse mirror at the carnival, Dick’s reflection coming back distorted and horrifying and otherworldly as he watches everything he’d worked for taken from him, again, for the second time. Tony Zucco snapped that first line and then Bruce Wayne kicked off him right off the edge into the abyss.

    Dick Grayson has just been fired. Dick Grayson wakes up in a world with five Robins.
