Summary
Within Gotham, the Bats are a tight-knit group - family - that runs like clockwork.
Outside of Gotham, none of their teammates know they’re related.
This series explores the shenanigans that the Bats get up to, as well as how this distinction would affect canon.
(This is an AU where the Bats are secretly affiliated, but nobody knows that.)
((Marked as complete, but new stuff may crash land when bored))
Anthology containing:
Batman (Supposedly) Works Alone
Batman works alone - that is what the superhero community genuinely believes.
In fact, he was so overprotective of Robin that only the thugs and Rogues of Gotham are even suspicious of his existence.
When Dick Grayson sheds Robin and becomes Nightwing, Bruce has one last request for his old partner. One final protocol: Code Bat.
Rated T for two swear words, because Jason.
On the Clock
Dick was too pre-occupied with getting his friend medical attention to wonder why the Justice League did not seem to recognise them.
(Or; the obligatory time travel fic.)
Protect Our Own
There’s a note addressed to Tim - addressed to R; to Robin.
(Jason is between a rock and a hard place, but he knows how to play his cards right. Talia’s not learning anything, not on his watch.)
The Alley Bat
Jason ran away from Gotham and formed the Outlaws. He had fun, but it was not supposed to last. His teammates soon left for their families. He figured it was time he did the same.
Or: Jason Todd goes home.
Rated T because of Jason swearing, and Fear Toxin hallucinations in part three
Off-World Rescue
An alien king has essentially held Nightwing captive, on the grounds that he had no familial connections which tied him down to Earth.
Code Bat is activated, and Jason is about ready to throw secrecy out the window and punch the alien in its face.
Gotham Needs a Batman
Bruce Wayne is dead - Batman is dead.
Tim Drake believed otherwise.
In which Red Robin is born, a new Batman meets the Justice League, and Bruce returns home.
(In this AU, the superhero community doesn’t know that the Bats are all connected.)
Leave A Message
When Tim left Gotham and became Red Robin, he had to leave anything that could compromise his identity.
He left Cassie a voicemail that she never replied to - not until their friends returned from the dead.
Or, Tim’s team reunites after cheesy voicemail confessions
Play The Role
Luthor is scheming. Tim doesn't trust him.
He thinks that leading Nightwing and Red Robin to the same trap will make them suspicious of each other. He is incredibly wrong.
Why Hello There!
Tim answers a call from the Teen Titans in the presence of one Jason Todd and one Stephanie Brown.
He regrets his decision.
Or, slightly crack-ish fic of Steph and Jason messing with their boi Tim
Don’t Underestimate Us
The Bats have each established themselves as solo vigilantes, with no affiliation to Batman. Outside of Gotham, they’re strangers.
When their teammates start to act strange, and Batman is uncontactable, Code Bat is activated.
(Or: Bat-children, assemble!)
Red Birds Stick Together
Sometimes, even without Code Bat activating, the Bats cross paths in-between all their team missions.
Really, it’s a wonder that nobody knows they’re connected.
Meanwhile, Red Robin will have to explain to Superboy why he’s so comfortable around his almost-killer.
Snapshots of Gotham
Tim Drake had possibly the only photographic evidence of the Robins and Batgirls in existence, besides whatever footage Babs had saved to her database.
Tim agreed with Babs - it was about time he updated that collection.
I’m Alive, Brother
Nightwing’s secret identity is revealed by the Crime Syndicate. Code Bat ensured that the rest of the Bats were safe.
That did nothing to comfort Batman when he saw his son strapped to a bomb.
(Canon happens, but Batman reacts differently. A fix-it.)
Like a Painted Canvas
Damian has been revived.
In the wake of his resurrection, he reflects on his past... and leaves Gotham. There are things to be done - mistakes that Damian needs to atone for.
(This fic takes inspiration from Robin: Son of Batman, Year of Blood, but does not follow through with proper canon.)
Rated T for descriptions of murdered skeletons, I guess
What Comes After
With Damian’s return to Gotham comes returning to the legally alive.
He also gets a new brother, who doesn’t seem to realise that he has already been accepted into the family.
At the gala celebrating his return from the dead, Damian encounters a familiar face.
The New Titans
Bruce knew it was only a matter of time before his youngest son joined an official superhero team of his own.
He was just glad to watch it unfold.
(Featuring the Bats messing around during a superhero party, and Superman trying his best to parent)
Holidays Are For Family
Jason had been spending the past few years away from home during Thanksgiving, so that his teammates would not be alone.
Now that they each had found their own places at the table, Jason could return home. He ends up reassuring their newest addition to the family.
How Are You?
Code Bat can have varying levels of urgency, depending on how it is activated.
An emergency activation tended to mean that dire help was needed, and that their normal superhero teammates were not rescue options.
Jason, thankfully, remembered to use Code Bat when those boxes were ticked.
(Featuring Tim answering a call for Jason as his bratty younger brother.)
Seeking Warmth
Kon-El does not trust Canvas. Tim convinces him to give the kid a chance.
(Featuring a short banter between the bat-siblings, and Damian and Tim fluff)
Welcome to The Team
Lian Harper was done with the assassin life.
She figured she might as well bring her new friend along for the ride.
(This is all just characterisation. Enjoy!)
Invisible Helper
Duke was in the area, so naturally, Oracle called on his help on behalf of Black Lightning.
Jeff just wanted to do a recon.
The Little Things
Oneshots of the bat-siblings, and the little-big things that they keep close to heart.
(Or, an excuse to write person-centric oneshots, one per batkid)
Cherish The Present
It's Christmas. Everyone's home - nobody's severely injured, or missing, or dead. They were together, and that was what mattered.
I'll Teach You
Cass has finally moved back into Gotham.
She brings pieces of the culture she had experienced back home - if there is something she can give her family, it's what she has learnt.
(Featuring some Chinese phrases and some Chinese things. Enjoy!)
Out of the Shadows
The other superheroes were occupied with their own robot problems. Gotham was on its own.
It’s about time they show Gotham who’s been defending them.
Collecting the Hints
Roy isn’t stupid. He’s been hanging around all of them for years - did they really expect him to be that oblivious?
(Or, Roy stringing the Bats together.)
Stop to Look
The new year countdown was unfortunately not enough to deter the crime rates.
There was still time to take a break during patrol to watch the fireworks, though.
(Happy new year, here's to a better one!)
Old Enemy, New Friends
They were just supposed to have a relaxing afternoon catching up with each other. They were not supposed to be kidnapped and taken to an unknown location.
...who is that?
(Damian meets again with someone he would rather forget.)
It Takes Two
Damian can’t play Mario while he’s recovering. Tim can’t make his brother’s arm heal faster, but he can offer a hand.
Some Things Don't Change
Dick gets called to the watchtower through a vague message from Superman. He... is not prepared to find his mentor as a child.
(Featuring Wally and Bart visiting the Batcave, and Tim and Bruce fluff)
Seeing Connections
Lian is as sharp as her Dad, if not more so. Couple that with a few intentional slips, and Lian easily learnt the secret.
Magic Troubles and Confessions
The Amazonian sisters run into a magic-user, and two Bats are along for the ride.
(Featuring Irey and Jai learning about the Bats!)
Batgirls, New and Old
Stephanie decides to crash a Birds of Prey mission in her other costume. Dick says hi, too.
(Featuring Dick revealing his identity to the other Titans, and also his girlfriend)
Now You See Me
Duke has been helping the Outsiders on and off, without showing his face. This time, there's no time for invisible help.
(Featuring the two Harpers and Dinah snickering behind Ollie's back)
This Is Who We Are
The Bats have transitioned out of the shadows. They stick together. One unit; one family.
(Wardrobe changes, cuddles, Mario Odyssey, and more!)
Red is for Love
Cass remembers the vibrancy of Lunar New Year in Hong Kong. She remembers streets lined with bright red lanterns, crowded streets and the bustling of thousands as they gathered for reunion meals with family.
The New Year was definitely different in Gotham, but her family made the best of it for her.
(Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year, is celebrated based off the Chinese calendar, celebrating the start of the year and the coming of Spring.)
Life with Bats
Does knowing that their teammates have siblings who are also superheroes change anything? Well, yes and no.
Of Birds and Sirens
The first three Robins and the Gotham Sirens, and their interactions over the years.
(Each Siren watches as a Robin spreads their wings.)
Colour the Edges
The new Teen Titans go to a hair salon.
Damian blames his team.
Mishaps and Meetings
Damian Wayne - Canvas - meets Young Justice (post-season 1).
There is, surprisingly, more conversation than conflict.
Raise the Alarm
Nightwing comes to Titans tower. Within seconds, Tim knows something is wrong.
(There is an imposter among us.)
A Little Bird Told Me
The Bats nudging everyone towards better relationships, one conversation at a time.
