Summary
“You?” Tim blurts. Holy shit. “You’re Kon?”
A nod. “Are you in any pain?” he asks again.
Kon’s skin is sun-kissed, cheekbones dusted with a fine smattering of freckles; he is, without exaggeration, the prettiest person Tim has ever seen. “No, I’m—great,” he says, fidgeting. “Do you, uh, come here often?”
Kon raises a brow. “To the medbay?” he intones. “Definitely more often than I’d prefer.”

Summary
In an alternate universe, Fearne decides she doesn't want the Spark of Rau'shan. Orym decides to take it in her stead. Ashton tries to be there for them both.
Originally started writing this for the Ashrym Week 2023 prompt: Orym Takes the Shard. Lost steam on it partway through, but decided it was still a fun AU, so I kept plugging away at it. Might revisit it again in the future.

Summary
And Tim knows. He knows he’s a little leech who gets attached to the first people to show him affection, even if it’s the bare minimum politeness will allow. He knows the Wayne family doesn’t want a shallow imitation of the Robin who should be there in his place. He knows he can’t sit and watch himself do the same thing over and over and over again—the same thing he’s done for years—and wait and hope that someday he’ll be loved in return. He doesn’t want to face the disappointment day after day. Not anymore.

Summary
After winter patrols, Dick used to make a game out of running around with a blanket tied around his neck. With the makeshift cape, he could hold on to the feeling of being Robin, the Boy Wonder — not just Dick Grayson, orphaned ward of Bruce Wayne — even after the costumes had been put away.
A few months after Dick returns to speaking terms with Bruce, he gets stuck in Gotham with the flu.

Summary
“All children, except one, grow up.”
― J.M. Barrie, Peter PanKon hasn't been a kid in a long time - he's not stuck at sixteen anymore, and he hasn't been for years; he's twenty-three and living his best life. But the past has funny ways of coming back to haunt everyone when they least expect it, and there's no predicting the storm on the horizon for him.
It starts simply, as do most things. Jon turns sixteen.
Jon turns sixteen, and Kon suddenly realizes that if anyone were to treat him the way he was treated at sixteen, he'd tear the world apart.
The revelations, unfortunately, don't stop there.

Summary
“—told the attendees that Wayne’s donation would be used to increase opportunity for those in foster care.”
Jason laughed.
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Tim asked.
“We’ll never see a dime.”
Dick Grayson and his foster brothers have fallen through the cracks. Living with a parent only interested in the checks, Dick’s taken on the responsibility of making sure his little family stays fed and together, no matter what.
But when the sun goes down, he dawns the domino mask of Robin. While Batman plays hero with the city's kingpins, he helps the little guy.-
Bruce Wayne’s newest philanthropy project is focused on children's services. But handing over check after check doesn’t seem to give him the feeling that he’s doing anything.
At least there's Batman. But it’s lonely work, living by the moonlight.
At least it is until he meets Robin.
The vigilante is like a breath of fresh air. Eager, friendly, and surprisingly good company, even for a patented loner.
As their interactions on the street grow, Bruce’s walls begin to crumble. But once he starts asking questions, he can’t stop, and he can’t take personal stake in the affairs of Batman.
Or can he?- Language:

Summary
Six months ago, Renegade broke free from his master. He had no home. No family. Had learned nothing beyond what he'd needed to be a predator. Now free, he has vowed to use those skills to help instead of hurt.
Only Nightwing really shouldn't have picked Blüdhaven for his debut. The neighbors are kinda... a lot.
Like, A LOT a lot.

Summary
There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.
Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

Summary
Tim, as it turns out, may not be Jack Drake’s son, but Bruce Wayne’s already got kids he picked out personally. That’s okay though, because Tim’s got a plan for how to deal with this revelation—it’s not like he needs acknowledgement from a second father that doesn’t want him, anyway.

Summary
Tim Drake didn't quite know what he was agreeing to four years ago, but he tried to make the best of it! Using notes from his past (future?) self, he (somewhat messily) tried to help everyone his other self cared for. Now, it's four years later and he can mostly ignore the second set of memories lying in the back of his brain. It'd be much easier if Dick Grayson would just leave him alone. If Tim believed in destiny he might actually think that the universe cared about what was lost.
Dick Grayson has spent the last year feeling like he's veered off course. Something keeps itching at the back of his brain. He's missed some clue. Helena Bertinelli's promised to help him crack down on human trafficking, but Dick thinks her foster kid might actually be more help in that department.

Summary
Your soulmates are with you, your whole life. Figuring out how to actually be there for them is the tricky part.
--
The day Barbara went out as Batgirl for the first time, Dick and Book nearly pushed her out the window and Camera made an aborted attempt to pull her back, stopping themselves at the last possible moment from grabbing her shoulder. Dick didn’t let himself wonder why. Camera was probably just worried for her, the way they had been with Dick.

Summary
Graveyard mud, heavy and dark, clinging to a stained and torn suit. One shoe missing, a leg bent awkwardly and blood staining a bare foot.
Milk white skin beneath the mud, black hair hanging in muddy clumps around his ears. Blue eyes staring back at him, animal-bright and dilated in the brief moment before he flinches back from the light with a cry of pain that stabs through Jason to the soul.
His shaking hand closes around the flashlight before he can even think about it, cutting off the piercing beam and letting it spill out in shards between his fingers. For a petrifying moment as his eyes readjust, he’s sure that when he looks again, there will be nothing there.
“Tim?” he whispers.
The lean and ragged figure, tiny, god he’s so small, lowers his hands away from his face, away from his eyes wide and glittering almost silver in the moonlight.
Hands, mud-covered and torn. The red of his shredded fingernails is sickeningly dark in the broken light.
He’s vomiting before he even feels the bile making its way up his throat.

Summary
Jason’s mind was reeling. “Someone can see us?”
He’d tried everything he could think of to get Bruce and Alfred’s attention since he became a ghost. But even physically floating through their bodies hadn’t elicited a response.
She laughed. “Crazy, ain’t it? I don’t know if he’s a meta or what, but all the ghosts are talking about him.”
If there was someone out there who could see ghosts… then maybe…
Jason had to find him. “Who is he?”
“He’s known by many names… Veil Walker… Reaper… Half-Pint.”
Jason sputtered. “Half-Pint??”
“That’s the wildest shit. It’s a kid. Like a middle schooler.” Delilah threw out one of her hands. “And he’s out here wandering Gotham every night and chatting up the dead.”
Jason could only stare at her. Processing. A kid who could see ghosts... What was this? The Sixth Sense: Gotham edition??
———
Jason was murdered by the Joker. Tim can see the dead. They find each other.

Take Two (We’ll Do Better This Time) by Nation_Ustria for moomoo42
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), DCU (Comics)

Summary
In a battle for the fate of the world, the Justice League loses. However, losing doesn’t mean that there’s nothing left to be done. Magic is a fickle thing, and destiny doesn’t like to be thwarted.
~
There are certain things that Dick and Bruce don’t talk about. Things like how Dick has always been able to understand what Bruce means when he grunts, or how he sometimes uses moves that Bruce hasn’t taught him yet, or how Bruce has red-yellow-green things everywhere and had installed a gymnastics room before even meeting Dick. It’s not like they can do anything about it, all the bits of knowing and feeling that appear like muscle memory and slip away like dreams. It’s just… how things are for them. It’s normal for the Manor to feel empty and quiet and lonely, filled with a pervasive sense of something missing. Dick sometimes finds himself wandering around, as if he could just find the right room then he could stick his head in and find—someone. Someones, plural.
(Or, the Bats don’t quite remember each other. They know no names, no faces, no details. But they remember enough, and once they find each other, it’ll take the world ending again before they let go.)
