    Summary

    There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.

    Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.

    Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.

    Or:

    Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.

    Tim hates mystical artifacts.

    (Alternate universe Better Batfam trope)

    Summary

    “Query: why does the Terran attempt to protect Megatron?” Soundwave questioned her. “Twitch Malto does not know Megatron. The real Megatron.”

    “Because he is Mum’s friend!” Twitch snapped back at the Audiobot. “Because he is my friend! Don’t act like you know him!”

    Soundwave was silent for a long moment. He was silent for so long that Twitch began to think he had slipped into some weird stasis but Soundwave responded to her accusation abruptly.

    “Soundwave thought he knew Megatron,” he replied and Twitch swore that the Decepticon sounded bitter, hurt even. “Soundwave did not.”

    ___

    A chance encounter with Soundwave leaves Megatron in a serious condition, his mind shattered and trapped in his past as D16. With Ratchet on Cybertron, his only hope to ever recover is the illusive Knock-Out who disappeared after defecting from the Decepticons years before the war ended. Someone who only Megatron himself could find.

    Deep scars begin to be reopened as the consequences of a foolish and rash decision.

    Summary

    Megatron had expected the treasure vaults beneath the Primal Basilica to be filled with pointless trinkets, hoarded energon, ill-gotten wealth stolen from Cybertron’s people— but a living mech?

    Summary

    Even among the Autobots, Sideswipe is an odd one. He talks to the empty air of their base in a language none of them can translate. He knows things he shouldn't know about his fellow Autobots. He claims he has a twin brother that everyone's met but nobody remembers seeing (probably because he's… dead). Sometimes his optics turn gold and he seems like a completely different mech.

    Ratchet thinks it's a coping mechanism, considering how a sparkling Sideswipe was found alone and abandoned in the ship he called the Ark. Most Autobots accept that explanation. Jazz still feels like he's missing something. Prowl just wishes malfunctioning doors would stop locking him in his room whenever Sideswipe says their workaholic SIC needs to rest.

    Summary

    This universe is completely different from his own; yet, in many respects, it's the same in the ways that matter. The Red Hood finds a broken bird in an abandoned wing of Arkham Asylum and rescues him. He doesn't expect for the bird to grow attached; or for him to do the same.

     

    Basically, post-UtRH Jason gets punted into the Arkham-verse and, upon seeing Arkham Jason, goes "Is anyone gonna save him or am I gonna have to do it myself?" while completely disregarding the fact that he's a complete disaster himself.
