Summary
The first few months following their death, Bruce was an empty thing. He couldn't speak, eat, couldn't look people in the eyes. How could he? He killed them, he killed his parents.
The shock of that night evaporated, leaving behind self-hatred and disgust. Bruce didn't understand how people could still stand to look at him. How could they crouch down to his height and offer their condolences to their killer? Could they not see how grotesque he was? A monster in human skin? Were they so fooled by his baby-fat cheeks, the childish whine of a voice not yet dropped in puberty? Why weren't they punishing him? Where was the justice??
...okay. Fine. If they weren't going to get justice for his parents, then he would.

Summary
Superman hates Conner. He's never said as much, but his constant criticism of his clone after missions speaks for itself.
Conner doesn't hate Superman, he just wants to stop being terrified of him, but that's just how it's been since the League pulled him from Cadmus four months ago. By October, Tim Drake has had enough and sics Batman on the Man of Steel to get him to ease up on his teammate.
Clark hasn't been helping Superboy be a better hero. He doesn't know him at all. When he promises Conner things will be different, it takes Conner a while to believe him.
Is 365 days enough time to change so much?

Summary
Two survivors wake up aboard Hail Mary with no memory of how they got there: Dr Ryland Grace, and an engineer called Simon Fleischer. As they navigate their unique situation and the discoveries awaiting them at Tau Ceti, they uncover truths about themselves that would have, perhaps, been better left forgotten.

Summary
Red Hood's men are… a bit unusual. They're still clearly the henchmen of the new and upcoming Crime Lord who openly and aggressively hates Batman but for some reason… they're dead set on helping Robin.
They're even fairly good at helping out. Though, when Robin gets hit with a modified version of Poison Ivy's pollen, their solution is to call his 'older brother' who apparently they think is Red Hood himself.

Summary
Jason swallowed. “She’s everything the world has killed in me.”
“Well,” Leslie hesitated, voice kind, if rough, “they do say we become who would have saved us when we were younger.”Jason Todd never allowed himself to be soft. Not in Crime Alley, not with Batman, not after the pit.
Then one night he finds a newborn abandoned behind a dumpster and it’s both the easiest and hardest choice of his life – because he knows how this story ends. A child left alone in the dark. A body in a cold alley. A city that doesn’t care.
As Gotham’s latest rumors take a terrifying turn and the past comes clawing at his heels, Jason isn’t looking to be a hero. He just refuses to let history repeat itself.You don't need to read the rest of the "Hatchlings of Gotham" series (dedicated to the Batkids' kids) to read this one.
Now with a short sequel.

Summary
On a Tuesday night, Bruce Wayne attends a circus. Halfway through, the trapeze artists are killed, leaving their eight year old son behind, hands wrapped in dancer’s tape and knees bloody with how he falls on them in his anguish. Bruce Wayne watches him for a moment, two, then turns around and leaves.
Sixteen years later, the thing who was once a man named Dick Grayson nurses a bottle of scotch as he stitches the gaping wound in his side from where Batman got him with a batarang.

Summary
“You had my baby?” Superman asks, tilting in the air and still staring at Experiment Thirteen, as if he's somehow forgotten both how much kryptonite Lex owns and how much kryptonite he keeps specifically in this office. “While I was dead. You had my baby while I was dead.”
. . . alright then, Lex thinks again, both eyebrows raising this time.
“I really wouldn’t put it that way, personally,” he says. “Also, I don’t recall saying it was in any way yours.”

His first year teaching English is nothing like vigilante work. His seventh period, twenty-two remedial seniors who've been written off by everyone else, will make sure of that.Series

Summary
Jason gets caught by the JLA.
Of course, he needs someone to bail him out, and Batman is the supreme authority on the Watchtower and his dad so it makes perfect sense to call him. Unfortunately, Batman is still mad about those warehouses he blew up a few weeks ago, and karma is an asshole.
Justice League, meet Brucie Wayne.

Summary
“Do you think Daddy’s forgotten about me?” he asked Dandelion the cow, sitting on the rickety old farm fence and hiding from Pa.
Dandelion tore out another chunk of grass and continued munching noisily. If Pa found him, he’d wish Conner a happy birthday, and Conner didn’t want that—he didn’t want to be five yet.
— 🦸 —
OR: At four years old, Conner is sent to live on the farm.

Summary
Sprained left wrist, dislocated right shoulder, compromised right knee. Multiple hematomas around his body if the pain was anything to go by. Probably broken ribs, at least three on his right side, maybe more. Blood dripping from the side of his head where he felt the smash of the helmet, probable concussion. Holsters with his pistols and belt gone, Hidden knives on his arms.
He'd had worse.

Jason gets beat up and captured by the Justice League during an undercover mission, no one knows his connection to Batman and the Bat is on an off world mission. Jason is on his own and his stubbornness to reveal anything is no help.

Summary
An Au from @lee.alvee on TikTok
Someone was selling information about heroes to the public, and the Justice League thinks its Tim. They decide the best route is to wipe his memory, taking any memory that he has related to the Hero Community, leaving a blank slate. Thankfully Tim has a contingency plan that will find the real culprit while setting him free. Tim, now a boy named Theo, decided to dive into music to deal with the hole in his memory and his heart that he can't explain.
This series will be ordered in Chronological Order not order posted/updated so you don't need to jump around to get the story

Summary
A short, mean, and disbelieving laugh bounces around the kitchen. “You’re joking.” Jason’s laughter turns into an outright cackle, and he has to put his coffee mug down on the counter to avoid spilling it.
“Back off.” Despite wanting to, Tim can’t hide the fact that his voice shakes, but suddenly his grip doesn’t. “Jason, I swear—”
“You gonna point that thing at me? You don’t even know what to do with it.”
The older boy is too close. Far too close. Tim flinches back, raises the gun, and without thinking about it presses it under Jason’s jaw.
All of a sudden, neither of them can breathe.
Jason’s eyes harden, glancing at the finger hovering over the trigger.
After a moment, Jason speaks up, almost softly— with how close they are, his voice doesn’t need to carry far. His voice goes flat. “This is hilarious.” The tone says otherwise.
•·················•·················•
OR: Tim has PTSD after the Titans Tower attack, and secretly keeps a gun — just in case. With Jason back in Gotham, “just in case” starts to feel more and more and more inescapable.Series

Summary
There was surprisingly barely any noise from outside the manor- and while he didn’t often hear all the noise from Gotham here, it was surprisingly still around them, wind wise.
It was nice. Like a breath of a moment between the chaos of the day, and no doubt the chaos of tomorrow morning.

Summary
“Eighteen years ago, an earthquake ripped through Gotham City, and in the aftermath, instead of helping, the US government sealed the city under a ‘quarantine’ and left them to die. Two years later, when signs of life and even civilisation were still detectable inside the shattered city, the government sent the military in to reclaim and rehabilitate Gotham. Gotham has not forgotten, and they have not forgiven either.”
An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.

Summary
After a brutal patrol, the Batfamily drifts together in the quiet of Wayne Manor. Dick tends to Jason’s bruises, Damian and Tim grudgingly cooperate over dinner, and, without meaning to, the brothers gather in the living room—sharing food, warmth, and silence until exhaustion folds them into one another. When Bruce finds them asleep, he keeps vigil in the chair across from them, letting the weight of peace, however fragile, rest over them all.
