Summary
One moment, Red Hood was fighting with Black Mask, listening to the idiot go on about how he'd murder Jason long before he'd become a problem. The next... Jason was ten years in the past, nine-years-old, and fending for himself on the streets of Gotham. Bruce might not know about Jason yet in the timeline, but Batman was the only one who could protect him against Black Mask.
If only Jason didn't hate him so much...

Summary
Batman should put a warning label on himself whenever he falls asleep. It was an actual work hazard. Hal almost lost his hair one time!

The Tragedy, Comedy, and Miracle That is Tim Drake by cherubic_cherry

Summary
Any person who knew the true story behind the Wayne family, Gotham's most opulent family with the darkest secret, would describe it as a play. Not like the modern ones with singing trees or people with transatlantic accents. No, more like the Greek plays that were gruesome and cataclysmic, with fair maidens unjustly transforming into monsters and the mindless murder of innocent children for no reason at all. They suffered through disasters and death, neglect and loss, and they were waiting for the encore. A sign that the 'Tragedy' part was coming to a close, but it was starting to feel like none of them had even reached the intermission.
that was until the Wayne family met the miracle that was Timothy Jackson Drake who was a greek play all on his own, and was also the stone that begun the avalanche into a new chapter for the Wayne family. Not that any of them noticed, at first.

Summary
The Joker missed the "good old days", just him, Batman, Harley, and the first Robin. He's grown tired, none of these new Robin's new how to have fun. Where was the banter? Where was the witt? He put time and effort into his traps and the birds gave him nothing to work with. It's fine, good old Uncle Jay decided to do something about it.
------
Dick is de-aged to his mid-season one YJ self.
He's highly trained, been doing this for half a decade, and has the scars to back it up. He can't help but be underwhelmed by the attitude of his successors. But Dick doesn't want to deal with that because he's missing over a decade of his life all because of the Joker. He can handle older heroes underestimating his abilities, this is his typical tuesday. Everyone else might not get a choice in the matter as information comes to light that leaves them to rethinking some of their life choices.
Except Past-Dick, because as he inidicated before, they are a problem for Future-Dick.

Summary
Tim and Damian have hated one another since the day that the youngest Wayne arrived in Gotham City. A few years later, that hatred has cooled into a mutual disdain and somewhat-wary tolerance. If necessary, they can even work together— though neither likes to. Then Tim discovers that Damian enjoys bird-watching too. Or: sometimes the difficult things are the most rewarding.

Summary
"A mixture of comedy/heartbreak as Bruce, having been hit with fear toxin, repeatedly cycles through panicking multiple times because as soon as he's been reassured that one kid is fine, he starts worrying about another because he has 5( )"

Family You Made (Go Back, Do it Again) by JUBE514

Summary
He’s nine again– nine and new and knows so many things now so rather than try to go back–
He thinks he has the chance to make things right.
The bright blue trainers he puts on are a pair he hasn’t worn in forever, something he never thought about after he grew out of them (will grow out of?) a year from now, and sets off into the night and into the rain.
The plan he has in his brain is not really a plan, moreso just a couple of half thrown ideas and maybe five steps into building back the life he had in the most painless way he could.
Maybe, he thinks, maybe this plan can start off with the family he misses– because he’s sixty and most of them too injured or too old or too dead–
Call him selfish but he misses them. He would rather find them than get himself back into that lonely existence he called a life before he woke up at nine.
Dick makes do because that’s all he can do really.

Dick gets sent back in time, but don't worry, he's got this. (Probably)

Summary
Dick… is aware. He’s aware that he’s not doing well. He’s aware that Tim isn’t doing well. Hell, he’s aware that Alfred isn’t doing well.
What with Bruce being… well…
He’s aware.
But, as he stares at his little brother telling him that Bruce is alive, he can’t help but feel anything but relief. In fact, he feels a lot of bad feelings about it, and then very quickly adds guilt to those bad feelings since he can’t think of anything positive to say.
Because he’s aware that he’s not well. And that Tim isn’t well. And that Alfred isn’t well.
But they weren’t well before Bruce died, either.
------
OR Dick believes Tim about Bruce being lost in time. But believing isn't the issue.Series

Summary
With teams run by a small handful of big names, recruitment based almost entirely on who you know, and unchecked interteam dating, the superhero community is practically designed to encourage interpersonal abuse. When a former sidekick comes forward to say that she was abused by her mentor, the entire community has to reckon with the part they may have played—and with the abuses that may still be going unnoticed.
(A story of systems, told through chats, texts, and transcripts.)

Probably the best show of all the issues that come with being a masked community. One of my favorite recent reads!

Summary
“I don’t think i have ever properly apologized for how I acted when Bruce was gone.”
Or
Tim and Dick have a long-overdue conversation after Bruce comes back. Some apologies are made, but not the ones you would think about.Bookmarked by Light4winter

Probably one of the most balanced takes on what went down with Bruce's "death" i've seen yet
