Despite the fever and the barely-healed burn scar, the boy’s fast. June avoids his blade, but still he jams his limbs into her, desperate to scratch and kick and bite off her hand…
(Just like a baby shirshu, spitting poison from behind the bars of its cage. The comparison shouldn't be so endearing.)
Or: the AU where Zuko flees the palace after his Agni Kai, running right into Nyla and June.

Bookmarker's Notes
It is an urban legend that Dick Grayson, son of late renowned marine biologists John and Mary Grayson, was raised by mermaids.
In reality, Dick Grayson was raised by one very committed merman.Or: Dick loves his finned family and they love their weird legged brother in return. Bruce is very proud of his land son. Jim Gordon just wants to retire.

Summary
Normally, Catwoman went for flashy targets: artifacts on loan at the Gotham Museum, crown jewels worn by visiting dignitaries, whatever dumb purchase the Wayne Estate had most recently made for its private collection… But tonight was different. Tonight, Selina wanted to test out her stealth skills a bit. Play with danger.
That was how Selina ended up in a warehouse owned by Tony Zucco. The mob boss usually fell well under Catwoman’s radar, but the man had always been a bit too boastful for his own good. Apparently, Zucco currently had an “interesting” piece of merchandise hidden in his East Gotham warehouse. Something he had gotten after murdering the previous owners.
At least, that’s what one of Zucco’s henchmen had claimed, right after Selina stole the gold watch off his wrist and got him to buy her a cocktail.
OR: What if Catwoman found Robin instead of Batman?

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.

Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.
