    Summary

    It was on the second day of first grade that Tim Drake understood that the pattern of rust-coloured stars on the palm of his hand meant more than just a birthmark.

    After a soulmate dies within a year the other half is expected to die or get themselves committed, Tim thought he'd moved past all of it until it was staring him in the face.

    Summary

    The first time since he’d sensed he was being watched, he’d thought of a few possibilities. One, that he was going to be mugged (and wouldn’t that be a shock for the poor fucking mugger), two, that someone had recognised him from the old days and called the cops (in which case he would be genuinely annoyed, but he had go-bags for a reason), or three…

    Well. Three. That the fucking Batman had somehow tracked him down.

    Summary

    “Have you ever told anyone?” The question is odd, stilted, spoken like Tim already knew the answer but still wanted confirmation.

    Dick removes his arms from his abdomen, clutching his hands together harshly. The pinch is a welcome relief from the shame he can feel churning as he tries to formulate a response.

    “No,” he whispers, nails biting into his skin. “I never told.”

    Summary

    Dick pushes open the door and freezes to see Jason, body bruised and littered with still healing wounds, with his arms wrapped around Tim from behind, kissing his neck gently. Tim, who is sitting there, letting himself be kissed by the man who tried to kill them all just the night before, is completely unfazed by the fact that he should be bedridden and also that Jason tried to murder him less than 24 hours ago and also oh God they’re kissing now and that’d definitely tongue what is going on?!

    Tim and Jason were trapped in a time loop together for a year and are "suddenly" in a relationship the day after Jason went on his Batman murder spree.

    Summary

     

    Stephanie Brown died with a mouth full of blood and her eyes wide open, staring at the locked door, hoping still for a miracle, for a rescue.

    She died in a hidden place, still hanging from the ceiling by her wrists, bleeding out from a wound in her stomach, and no one was with her when her heart gave its last beat.

    AU where Stephanie Brown dies as Robin and becomes the Red Hood.

    Jason is exposed to fear toxin in the field. And his greatest fear isn’t the Joker, or the coffin, or the League. It’s the monster that he sees when he looks in the mirror.

    Summary

    “Someone is dead,” she starts.

    She can see he wants to interrupt, probably with some joke about how you can’t throw a rock without hitting a corpse in this city. She doesn’t know how to tell him his jokes are bad, so she pushes forward.

    “He’s a man I thought I knew well. A man I thought knew me. Who understood what I wanted — who I was trying to be. He was the only one to know me in that way. But now… now he’s gone. And his final words—”

    The stranger jolts. His attention is entirely hers.

    “They make me wonder if he ever knew me at all. If…”

    “… if you’d only fooled yourself into imagining something that wasn’t there.”

    Battle for the Cowl Epilogue: Jason + Cass talk about Bruce’s will + their identity issues + don’t deal well with either.

    Summary

    Jason had to give it to him, it was a pretty good imitation, someone who didn’t know Dick or Bruce would be fooled. He clearly had lifts in his boots to make up the height difference and there was extra padding in the suit to hide his gymnasts build and essentially erase what made Dick, Dick. He knew that given enough time, Dick would make sure the extra padding wasn’t needed and would do the work to change his build to fit the suit and not the other way around. And Jason, Jason hated him for it. Hated that he was willing to give up an integral part of himself, the part of himself he’d clung to even after losing his parents, making sure he never lost the skills he’d been born into and the physique it took to do what he did.

    Summary

    If Jason watched Bruce’s last words on any other day, he might have had a different reaction. He would be fronting at the mouth, he is self-aware enough to tell. He would be full of desire to prove something, to Bruce, to himself, to all the citizens of Gotham. He wasn’t a failure.
    Instead, what he got, was - tired.

    Was she ready?

    Was she satisfied?

    No. Her mind settled firmly on the answer. Only fools were satisfied.

    And she was no fool.

    Cassandra slowly learns what the word 'family' means. And along the way, everyone else learns too.

    Summary

    “I know what it’s like,” Steph said, “not wanting to go home.”

    “He does not,” Damian said falteringly, “hurt me. I am safe. I just…” A long pause. “Do not want to.”

    He had never sounded more like a child, and Steph thought he knew it too, the way he re-focused on the streets, like if he glared hard enough he could manifest criminal activity.

    Steph stared at him for a minute longer. “I’m heading back to my dorm,” she said.

    Damian, still sitting on the ground curled up, looked so small. Finally, he said, “I shall… permit you to offer me shelter.”

    Steph’s eyebrows flew up. “You shall permit me. Jesus.”
