    Summary

    Bruce turns the safety back on, but he doesn't put down the gun. Instead, he keeps it in the air, aiming it steadily at the spot he'd just shot at. Despite the mannequin being very much not real, Bruce watches it warily, like it's going to pull out its own weapon in retaliation.

    “Look closer,” Bruce says quietly.

    Jason frowns, following the invisible red dot at the muzzle of the gun. He has to squint for a moment, trying to work out where in the stuffied body of the mannequin the bullet would've hit, until he realises where Bruce is aiming. Dread fills his gut, an irrational and inexplicable pool of fear congealing disgustingly in every empty crevice of his body.

    Bruce is aiming for the head.

    (When Jason is thirteen, Bruce teaches him how to shoot a gun.)

    Summary

    Taking the Entities & Avatars of The Magnus Archives and just adding them to the DC Universe. Mostly focused on the Batfamily, who are almost all Avatars in this version (except for Alfred and maybe Duke; I haven’t decided yet, but it would be funny if he was the only Not A Literal Monster out of all of them.)

    For people who don’t know, the Entities of TMA are eldritch extradimensional Fear gods (and yes, the capital-F is appropriate), while avatars are people who have been twisted by choosing (knowingly or not) to follow an Entity’s path until they stop being human. The supernatural there is very vague, bordering on dream logic, but avatars get thematically appropriate powers and must induce their Entity’s Fear in others to sustain themselves.

    I have my own theories about some of the specifics, and have based which Entity I assigned each family member on both those & a lot of character analysis.

    Spoiler-free explanations in the notes. I will not be using most of the Entity lore we got from s5 (didn’t like it much), and I will not be accounting for the new series. My personal additions to the lore will be in brackets.

    Summary

    "I'm not paranoid!" Haruta hisses, eyes darting everywhere. "Ace is either the best liar I've ever met, or--well, he's not, because if he was I wouldn't suspect anything, but I do, I suspect he's a spy!"
