    Summary

    Chased through the Golden Wastes by a krill, a Sky Kid stumbles into a portal that tears him from his world of light—and drops him into a cold, unfamiliar cave. There, he finds Tim Drake bound in chains.

    Thrown together by fate, the child must learn to survive in a strange and dangerous world, while Tim struggles to adapt to a role he never expected—caring not only for himself but also for a lost child of the stars. In the fragile balance between light and shadow, they begin to forge a bond that could change them both forever.

    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

    "Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together…"

    Danny hummed to himself, the saccharine melody a stark contrast to the grimy brick walls of the Gotham alley. The sour tang of garbage and ozone from his own fried core warred along with the thick, metallic scent of blood filled the air. His hands slick with something he refused to identify.

    "You look like shit, man." The voice from the helmet was mechanically distorted, but the dry tone was clear. The man’s head tilted. "Can you tell me why you are trying to dress up as a trash can?"

    Danny blinked slowly, the adrenaline high finally, blessedly, beginning to ebb. The pain was becoming a distant, roaring thing. Peaceful, almost.

    He met the blank gaze of the helmet, his own eyes wide and unnervingly calm. "My organs fell out…" he stated, his voice disturbingly even. He gestured weakly with a crimson-coated hand toward the ruin of his midsection. "Don't have skin anymore."

     

    Or

    Danny gets gutted and Jason gets second hand Therapy.

    Summary

    His eyes adjust to the light to see MJ, grinning at him from the poolside. Her curly hair is rustling softly in the wind, and her brown are eyes glinting in the light, giving them an orange hue. God, she's beautiful. He suddenly sinks back under the water, but his body seems to have forgotten how to swim. Alas, he's trying to keep his head afloat, trying to see her, only to feel hands holding him up. He gets pushed above water, gasping and sputtering. Peter whirls around, only to come face to face with his best friend.

    Ned is treading water alongside Peter. His black hair is flat against his forehead, and his smile could light up New York. He laughs and splashes Peter, and he remembers now, their day at MJ's house. Having a pool was something rare in New York. Ned is smiling with so much warmth, and the hands around his shoulders feels almost like a hug.

    He nearly melts into an embrace.

    But then it all stops, and he sinks right back under again.

    More water invades his sinuses, and he coughs and shuts his eyes.

    And then he opens them.

    And all Peter sees is green.

    When somehow, Jason appears. What was his Robin doing here? Was he hallucinating or had he died, finally killed by his own dad's hand?

    ~

    Summary

    Danny's life in Amity Park wasn't perfect, but it beat his old life. The GIW and Fenton parents didn't make things easier but at least ghost attacks had lessened since he was named Prince, to be crowned upon his twenty first birthday.

    He'd run from the League almost a decade ago, risking getting their attention, and for a stranger? It was insane. And yet he still got on the plane to Europe to find and warn one Tim Drake that he was being targeted.

    Summary

    Ra's smiled. It was slimy and predatory. Jason was grateful as hell that Damian hadn’t inherited it. His self-righteous, puff-headed little smirk was all Bruce. "You know,” Ra’s said, “I haven’t anything prepared, Timothy, I do apologize. This has been nothing but a fortuitous happenstance. I had planned on pursuing you again in the future, of course, but I took our meeting at that gathering as an act of fate and had no choice but to take the opportunity in the moment."

    He looked at Jason with displeasure. “You, however, were never part of any plan.” He rubbed his beard thoughtfully. “What to do with you, Jason Todd?”

    Tim and Jason are captured by Ra's al Ghul. It does not go well for either of them.

    Summary

    She tells him she can get him in the day after tomorrow, then takes him through the process of how she’ll take them out, listing the ways he would have to limit himself afterwards. With all of that settled, he heaves himself off the exam table where he had been sitting, ready to go home and press an ice pack to his head. Of course, that’s when she decides to mention one last thing.

    “Oh, and you’ll need someone to drive you home afterwards.”

    Fuck his life.

    Summary

    Fear Gas, Joker Venom and Cuddle Pollen became a drug sought out by people outside of Gotham. That is a major problem. The head of the organisation is good at keeping themself hidden and elusive. That is an even bigger problem. It's good that the Red Hood is still an amicable figure and dealing in drugs.

    Summary

    It's been a week since Jason finally returned to Gotham. He's spent the entire time hunting the Bats, observing them at a distance and feeding the green rage burning in his mind. But now? Now that he's watched them and is confident that they really haven't changed?

    (Nightwing, still running away whenever things get hard and leaving his so-called sibling to deal with a furious Batman behind, Agent A for staying willfully ignorant and never getting involved to help anyone in a way that matters, Batman for letting ANOTHER CHILD throw himself into the line of fire, for letting someone REPLACE Jason, his SON-)

    Now it's time to really get started on his plan for revenge or justice. But to do that, he needs a place to start his operations from.

    And where better than his old stomping grounds, Crime Alley?

    Except-

    What the fuck is THAT.

    (Jason wasn't expecting the twelve-foot-tall eyesore in the middle of the Alley entrance.)

    Summary

    In a world where superpowers, magic, mutants and aliens are commonplace enough that no one blinks at laser eyes or flying people anymore, Dick Grayson does not think it all too unreasonable that his superhero little brother might come back to life. And Bruce's reasons for insisting he won't aren't good enough - it's happened before, after all.

    If his father won't take sufficient precautions, Dick will do it himself.

    Summary

    Jason had always had this dream as a child, over and over again, of his mom high on a shelf like a small, fragile porcelain doll dangling too close to the edge. She was always just too high for his little hands to reach, even stood on the tallest piece of furniture he could climb on. As he got older, she just seemed to get further and further out of reach, moving away even as he tried desperately to help. Eventually, it began to end with her falling off the edge of that little shelf, slipping down behind a large, damp cabinet he was too small to move, losing her forever behind the rotting wood placed right against the wall in their dingy little apartment.

    It had all clicked for him when he came back to her dead in the bathroom from a heroin overdose.
