Summary
On a Tuesday night, Bruce Wayne attends a circus. Halfway through, the trapeze artists are killed, leaving their eight year old son behind, hands wrapped in dancer’s tape and knees bloody with how he falls on them in his anguish. Bruce Wayne watches him for a moment, two, then turns around and leaves.
Sixteen years later, the thing who was once a man named Dick Grayson nurses a bottle of scotch as he stitches the gaping wound in his side from where Batman got him with a batarang.

I meant to bookmark this! This is such a good and well-explored alternate universe. I keep coming back to it. Completely worth it, and I would recommend starting earlier in the day so that you're not staying up late to read it because you'll want to finish in one sitting.

Summary
After talking with some younglings about their anxieties around joining the clone army as commanders, Ahsoka decides to start a video series to alleviate their fears. Somehow, this saves the galaxy.
OR
There are whispers amongst the vode that there’s more to the war than meets the eye. Conversations quickly shut down in fear of who’s listening. It’s no secret that the Galactic Republic is a highly corrupt government. After all, most senators are willing to look the other way as millions of men are forced into fighting this war without even given a proper name. Ahsoka wants to help her brothers, in any way possible, no matter how small. But small actions can lead to much bigger changes. A ripple affect through space and time that not even Palpatine can predict. Now, the clone troopers aren’t just fighting separatists. They’re fighting something much more complex. Much older. Much more powerful than even the Jedi are aware.
Will Ahsoka and her brothers uncover the truth and stop Palatine’s rise to power? Or will Palpatine stop them and take back control of the situation? Only time will tell as war, politics, espionage, treason, and a very popular holonet series shape the future of the galaxy.

It's long, but so worth it! Probably one of my favorite fix-it fics because it acknowledges the mistakes of both sides while also focusing on the true roles of the Jedi and Clone Troopers. Please read!

I Want it That Way (1990s Tim/Kon) by WynterSky

Summary
Tim/Kon fics set in a lazily researched 1990s universe (written by an authentic 90s kid but I lived under a rock).
Mostly based on post-crisis comics canon but using some later elements I enjoy as well. Series focuses on an alternate scenario where Superboy is created by Luthor and starts out secretly working for him.

Probably one of my favorite group of stories. Definitely coming back for the re-reads. There are so many iconic lines and moments. I love watching superheroes act like semi-normal people. Would definitely recommend.

Yes. Just, yes. Time and universe shenanigans but handled pretty okay. Also Tim Drake and Bat Fam.

Summary
Tim knew he was jumpy and on edge, like he was always expecting someone to come from just out of sight. He knew that he was noticing things lately, little details that he had never noticed before, that didn’t seem to add up. He knew that even when Bart and Cassie were running around and screaming at the top of their lungs, Young Justice headquarters felt a little bit too quiet. He just didn’t know why it was happening. The League of Assassins wasn’t after him, there was no drama in his personal life, most of the major supervillains were locked up, and there weren’t any drugs he knew of that could produce these specific symptoms and no others.
AKA - Kon gets erased from reality, and Tim keeps trying to figure out why there are so many weird gaps in his life.

I like. Adding this to further proof that Tim is maybe a god. Very good! Will read again.
