    Summary

    He turned around, frowning at the figure standing maybe four meters behind him. Peter had no idea how the hell he thought he was being subtle. If that was his goal, he sucked at stealth.

    “Hey! Yeah, you, the guy in red. What do you want?” He called again, irritation threading through.

    Red Hood didn’t answer. He just stood there, still, staring at him through the mask. Peter figured maybe he was deciding something. 

    Whatever it was, it wasn’t his problem.

    His mouth opened, ready to tell him to piss off. But the words that came back weren’t his. They rolled out of the helmet in a deep, modulated voice:

    “You’re smarter than I thought.”

    Peter felt his stomach drop. Because—what the fuck?

    Peter has made bad choices before, but Gotham is the one that bites back.
    He wants to prove he belongs.
    He has no idea how vulnerable he is.

    Summary

    “Roy didn’t know a whole lot of things about the world, but he knew that people left. They came around for days, weeks, months, even years, and they brought glimpses of lives that could never have been Roy’s, and then they packed it all up and left.

    It wasn’t a bad thing, necessarily; it just was.

    Roy’s problem was that he was a fool. If Dick were there, he’d find a nicer way to word it – idealist, romantic, some bullshit like that – but really, Roy was foolish. He knew the rules, he knew how things were going to end, and he let himself hope every damn time.

    Brave Bow used to say, “Hope’s the kind of thing that’ll get a Navajo kid in trouble.” Roy might not have been bound to the tribe by blood, but the tribal band on his arm sure as hell wasn’t for nothing.”

    Or;

    The Outlaws, retold.

    Summary

    UPDATED SUMMARY (11-8-25)
    Jason Todd didn’t plan on fatherhood.
    But a daughter who heals like Lazarus water she’s never touched wasn’t supposed to exist either.

    Now the family death built in the shadows of crime and justices is bleeding out slowly, its veins full of memory and ruin.

    Memory that Tim Drake feels shifting one at a time, an infection of the mind.

    Ruin that Damian fears is his future as he reaches for a legacy not written in blood— trusting in a mirror who doesn’t know whether to stay.

    Ra’s al Ghul’s empire is fracturing as his daughter builds her own from its wreckage.
    Slade burns for revenge.
    And LexCorp’s experiments have left Conner- Kon- scrambled between obsession, love, and identity.

    Meanwhile, Owls whisper the hunt of Lazarus Blood— and the very Pits they seek to control are ill and fractured in trading decay for something what is still alive.

    Between chaos, comedy, love, and loyalty, we learn blood doesn’t make family.

    But what’s in the veins can be the difference between the dead and the undying.

    Summary

    Jason Todd knows he doesn't get second chances. Those are saved for parents who love you, brothers who want you, and a universe that is not indifferent to your suffering.

    But then—something bizarre happens.

    After scrapping with a Mage, Jason wakes up feeling...weird.

    What does he do? Goes to the smartest person he knows: Tim Drake

    There's only one problem: Tim Drake is...seven?

    Things just got really complicated.

    Or,

    Jason Todd is transported to a universe where Bruce is a good dad, Dick is a good brother, and Tim is seven years old—and needs a babysitter.

    Summary

    “You would love him, do you remember telling Bruce you wanted a little brother to boss around? He would give you a run for your money, the baby bird doesn't give up. You would have loved him.”

    Jason had planned on killing the kid not long ago. He had called him things like Replacement and made detailed plans to initiate his demise and suffering.
    .
    .
    .
    Or

    Jason, realizing he had been slightly brainwashed, decides instead of cracking the new Robin's skull, he was going to take a crack at a normal life.

    Too bad these damn bats can't keep out of trouble.
    .
    .
    .
    I can't keep coming up with titles on the spot, this is bad.

    Summary

    “DON’T—!” The word tears from Tim’s throat, too late.

    Wild magic slams into Nightwing dead-on, erupting in green light that swallows him whole.

    When the light sputters and dies, it reveals his crumpled form. For a breath, the warehouse goes dead quiet.

    The casters stare, eyes wide, as if they can’t believe they’d actually landed a hit.

    Summary

    Jason glanced up, squinted, and immediately hit him with, “Ugh. Replacement.”
    Tim’s whole body froze mid-stride. The word hit him like an anvil someone tried to pass off as a throw pillow. Replacement?? Replacement what? Replacement why? Replacement since when? He stared like Jason had just announced he was a priest now.

     

    Tim gets transported to another dimension… again, but this time it’s different. At first, he hopes it’s maybe a mirror of his reality, but the longer he looks, the clearer it becomes: it’s worse. Every familiar landmark is… well, the same actually— but every face he recognizes carries a different version of themselves. The rules of reality feel broken, and everyone is driving him mad. This dimension isn’t just strange—it’s hell. Because why does everyone insist he needs coffee?!

    Or alternatively, Tim wakes up in the Fanonverse.

    Summary

    An Astrometric Binary is a system of two stars where one is visible, but the other is obscured.

    Danny and Ellie hadn't seen each other for 3 years. Both believed that the other was dead. This is the story of them finding each other.
     

    If the storyline at anytime seems familiar, yes it is. This used to be called "Every Drop I Bleed", but I didn't like the way the story was going, it started to get a bit too cheesy for my liking. It will keep the same basic plot, but if you know what's going down, please don't spoil it for newcomers. I'm also a bit meaner to everyone this time around. Sorry not sorry.

    Summary

    Gotham was burning.

    All of Gotham was burning, and it was her fault.

    ‘It’s okay,’ her mind reasoned, ‘At least we get to be one of our own victims, it’s fairer that way’

    That much was true, although the worst part was that it made her father right, she really was a useless, stupid girl that would never amount to anything. Except, that wasn’t true either. She had amounted to something; a cautionary tale, a tragedy, a massive mistake, and that was all she’d ever get to be. The alley began to fade from her vision, the rats and grime fading into darkness, numbness overtaking her body from her chest and out towards her limbs.

    Summary

    The ability to see sound is something hidden in the Grayson line. Not seen in almost a century, the ability was thought to have died. When it resurfaces in a teenager, parties from all walks of life are interested.

    Dick has spent years hiding his ability to see sound. After the death of Jason and using his ability to go after the Joker, Dick is forced to leave Gotham. He flees and keeps out of sight of those who would know him. Only two know how to get in contact in case of an emergency.

    A year after he leaves, they call him back to Gotham. His former family needs his help. Where does his loyalties lie?

    Summary

    All you had to do was ask, Jason.” He addressed him directly, eyes now sharp against that unmoving form, barely visible in the low light but for that harrowing green stare.

    “I would have stepped down, retired the suit myself, my choice. That’s all any Robin has ever wanted.” He said, with emphasis.

    Or, with Jason in custody in the batcave, Tim tries to overcome his trauma and reconcile this Jason with the one he knew before, but all he can find is that green abyss.

    Summary

    In Tim’s defense, he hadn’t meant for it to happen. Who knew patrolling alone was such a bad idea? Him. That’s who. But he would vehemently argue his actions were 100% justified and necessary considering the extenuating circumstances. However, that was before his little solo jaunt around Gotham had landed him… well… stuck. With the rest of the bats not in Gotham, it wasn’t like there was anyone around to get him unstuck either.

    And he was running out of oxygen, dammit.

    Thankfully, (or in Tim’s case, ‘concerningly’), there happened to be a Crime Lord on the case who would be absolutely not delighted to rescue a little birdie from his cage.

    (As the tags can tell you, this is not as cracky and cheery as it sounds.)

    Summary

    Jason’s hands snap around Tim’s throat.

    His thumbs dig in, finding soft give under the suit, pulse fluttering wildly against his palms.

    The world narrows to pressure and heat and the sickening familiarity of it — how easily it fits. How right it feels in the worst possible way.

    The Pit roars back to life in his veins, screaming finish it.

    ····•····

    The anger hits him like a wave, sudden and relentless. “You made me do that,” he says, voice low, raw, and embarrassingly— shaking. “You made me hurt you. Again.”

    Tim meets his gaze, eyes soft, apologetic, steady despite the bruises and the fatigue. “I meant none of it, Jay — none of it.”

    Jason flinches at the nickname, the intimacy striking him wrong in the middle of chaos. “…Did you? Because some of it felt real.”

    •··········•··········•
    A mission gone wrong forces Jason to prove he and Tim aren’t allies — by hurting him convincingly enough to keep them both alive.
    •··········•··········•

    Summary

    River worked alone; she learned a long time ago that trust only gets you hurt. Especially when you're Gotham's newest vigilante. So when none other than Red Hood comes crashing on her roof, she helps him. Not because she owed him anything, but because she saw a little too much of herself in a stranger.

    Jason just wanted some peace, but when Babs tells you that your neighbour got flagged as a vigilante, you go check it out. Apparently, this is the same neighbour that patched up his stab wound last week. Oops.

    Everyone's only got one question on their mind: Who is The Maelstrom?

    Summary

    “I’m Phantom. I’m this town's hero,” Danny introduced, extending an open hand. “You just came through the portal today, right?”

    “Yeah,” the vigilante nodded, eyeing the gloved hand warily before reaching out to grasp it in his own. “I’m Robin.”

    “Robin?” Danny’s eyes widened and he actually looked at the uniform the hero wore. Yellow cape, red armour and the goddamn ‘R’ emblem over his heart. “Shit, really? But I thought Robin was in Gotham?”

    The teen scoffed, turning away from Danny. “Yeah well, shit happens. Now Robin’s dead.”

    ---

    OR: When the warehouse blows up, Jason finds himself adrift in the Infinite Realms, alone, angry and searching for a way back home. Instead, he finds a portal to Amity Park, with a pair of mad scientists and their reclusive kid, as well as a spritely ghost vigilante haunting the town.

    With the help of Phantom, and a newfound mentorship with the Fright Knight, Jason intends to bring himself back to life (and to Gotham) by whatever means necessary.

    It took six months to break him.

    It took another three and a half with pit water to put him back together in the most beneficial way.

    Tim Drake was dead.

    Summary

    In this world, shifters are common in the human population. Mythics, shifters that can shift into mythical creatures like dragons and others, are another story entirely, believed to be just a legend.

    Bruce somehow acquired four of them as his children, that is the story.

    Or: even if his children are legendary creatures, being a father is still an arduous life-long process.

    The fic is completed, and will be updated weekly on Friday night (or morning, depends on your time zone).

    Summary

    Tim has been concealing something far more sinister than a missing spleen. His little trip to save Bruce from the timestream ended with him waking up in a green haze and a lot angrier about the ways he's been treated. Tensions rise as he starts to avoid the family, but when they find out what happened how will they react?
