Summary
Batman: Re-imagined
In this world, Bruce Wayne managed to successfully heal himself through therapy and consequently did not take on the mantle of being Gotham's vigilante. Despite of this, he still managed to adapt four sons: Richard Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne--all unbeknownst to him are part of Gotham's most prominent heroes: The Gotham Knights.
Why did Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian chose to become vigilante heroes? And how will the 'lack of Batman' change Gotham's villains? Will Bruce ever find out about the nightly activities of his sons? Will the Wayne family survive the chaos that will come to Gotham?
--
Update! Part II is currently being rewritten and integrated back into this story. :)

Summary
Dick Grayson's life can be summarised as persistent attempts to do good, only to have his hands covered in blood. When the Court could not fully break him, they decided, instead, to create in him a synthetic drug addiction for the next kill. Now that they are gone, Deathstroke the Terminator has set his eyes on this perfect weapon. Red Hood might just be the only person that can help him.
or
Dick Grayson never got to be Robin. Shortly after Bruce met him, he was kidnapped by the Court of Owls. Bruce named his next protegé, Jason, after his memory. Now Dick has to struggle under a pressure he never wanted.

Summary
Slade had noticed that his former apprentice had been going through some changes as of late. He's been ill, exhausted, and showing signs of fatigue. And when he was back in the tower, he did nothing but sleep, when he was usually causing mischief with his so-called "friends." Which was strange, even for him. In the beginning he merely surveyed the young hero. But when he noticed that someone else had taken a liking to watching the boy, he took action. What the mercenary did not expect to find was the mythical Court of Owls. And for some reason they wanted Robin. So he did some research of his own. Turns out the boy isn't as normal as he thought he was.
Or rather Slade kidnaps Robin, accommodates him through his Talon transformation, and now has to deal with the aftermath of his sudden impulse to the help the damn kid.

Summary
Lily Hallowell has one rule: never get personally involved. Not with criminals. Not with heroes. Definitely not with emotionally repressed vigilantes in spandex.
Too bad Gotham doesn’t care about her rules.
With a magic curse that makes her feel lies like a bad allergic reaction, Lily’s been trying to lay low under the name Truthseer—until the underworld wants to use her, the Court of Owls wants to erase her, and the Bats want to figure out what the hell her deal is.
Enter: Nightwing. Charming. Acrobatic. Way too good at making her forget she’s supposed to be keeping her distance.
Now Lily’s stuck navigating criminal allegations, morally grey alliances, and the minor inconvenience of learning how to trust people without puking. Literally.
She never asked to be part of Gotham’s most chaotic found family.
(It's exactly where she belongs.)

Summary
It should have been an easy kill. A billionaire with few survival instincts and a reputation for being empty-headed in public. Even a baby Talon could handle such a simple mission, Talon thought while he listened in on the mission briefing—what little he could hear of it from his hiding place down the hall, at least. It would have been an easy kill, under better circumstances, except Talon didn’t know that his target somehow possessed combat skills that could rival even the oldest and most deadly Talons in the compound. Talon never stood a chance.

Summary

Only thing he doesn’t realize is that Talons are fucking terrifying, and somehow he only remembers what they can do when one is bending over backwards, bones folding and snapping like sticks, as it reaches towards him.This is an AU of an AU I guess. One shot for my Talon!Dick longfic, I can't include this in the fic tho bc Talons have different regeneration in this.

Summary
“ Oh….you think I wanted you laying your hands on me? I was given YOU as a present for saving your fucking life. You wanna go out in that bar. Use your fucking body and claim it was all my baby I popped into your fucking cunt?? Huh??”
“S – s- sio…I…I can’t be…it needs to go.”
“ IT will, when we talk to them about how you got onto all fours for somebody else, slut.” He dragged her kicking to the bed and proceeded to let her strive as the tape the gag and a phone and set of smokes came out. It was horrific as he straddled her while calling his people.
“ Good news. They want the kid as much as you don’t, so we’re gonna get it outta you as soon as you lie still.” He came back with a vial of liquid in a large syringe as she squirmed, screaming through the gag and halfway off the bed in barely anything.
“ You want me to do what I did to my last partner, baby? You won’t have a face to kiss that dead fetus with.” He taunted, pulling her legs apart as he dragged her back into the bed with a needle ready. “ Strike one. We need you in a chastity belt for me, next time…”

Summary
The first time Dick laid eyes on Gotham city's skyline, he'd thought it was an ugly place. Not enough color, too many jagged edges, too dark—nothing like the friendly lights and colors he'd grown up with. Gotham smiled at him with a mouth full of broken teeth and ate him up.
Or, how an angry little boy becomes a Talon.

Summary
Talon doesn’t understand what is going on.
It’s been a few weeks since ‘Heat’ has been over. The ants had gone and the hot had gone. He’d been normal for awhile.
But he’s slowly become less normal.
There’s a different skittering under his skin now… something that pulls at him.
<><><><><
Jason Todd nods, “Ok… so the Heat did change something.” Fingers touch Talon’s hair, brushing it aside. It feels nice. He closes his eyes. The noise coming from his chest is weird, foreign. He doesn’t know if he likes it. Alpha inhales sharply, “Oh.”
“Oh…?”
“You’re purring.”
“Purr.”
“Yea,” there’s a smile, “Omegas, like you, purr if they’re happy or feeling safe.”
“Safe… Alpha safe.”----------
