Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Tim drake is settling into his new role as Robin, learning what it is to be part of a family, and slowly healing day by day. With the addition of Cass to the family, and then of Stephanie Brown as well, things go pretty well for a while for the Waynes, despite the new difficulties Tim, Cass, and Steph are all navigating with their respective parents. But in an international plot to take down Gotham city, a whole lot of Batdad taking care of traumatized kids, and a serious epidemic where no one is safe anymore, and it’s going to take everything the Batfam has if they're going to save Gotham this time.
———

Summary
or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.
Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.
Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.

Summary
Dick is usually the one taking care of everyone else and he's bad at asking for help.
So bad, in fact, that he never even actually asks-- but Jason shows up anyway.
And then Dick returns the favor. And then they both do for Tim. And it's just going to keep going from there.
It's probably Alfred's fault. When your butler mom calls and says, "Go check on your brother," you don't argue. You just do it.

Summary
Jason Todd is seriously injured during patrol one night, and is forced to stay at the manor to recuperate until his injuries are healed. To pass the time, he makes a list of things he never got to do before he died.
Except there's one small problem: most of them involve Bruce, and Jason doesn't really think Bruce cares all that much about him anymore.This is a story about how wrong he is, but I made it sad anyway.

Summary
It takes a second, but the realization Jason comes to is horrifying.
“You dosed yourself. With Joker venom.”
Tim nods, still smiling, still shivering. At least the laughter has tapered off, not that that really makes this better, not that anything could make this better.Series

Summary
thatsochangeablechick: like i know there’s this post going around of Jason calling Bruce ‘dad’ sarcastically and getting freaked about it, but i want you to consider
jason calls bruce ‘dad’ and b is visibly moved, gruff voice shaky, sheen of tears behind lenses and all that, as he tries to brush past it (bc if b made a big deal jay would flip his shit, for the discourse ™ )
so jason gets into the habit of dropping the d-word in there just to see what he can get away with, want a batmobile? take it. fleeing his siblings after irritating them? you do you jay chum.________
"See, Tim?" Jason called over his shoulder sardonically. "Dad agrees with me."
He turned back to his food for a moment before the thought suddenly occurred to him that the Cave had gone near silent. He cautiously glanced back at the others. Alfred was still working away at stitching Tim up. Tim looked a little pale and sweaty, but he was glancing over at Jason with a look that was a mixture of concern and confusion. Bruce was standing stock-still, seemingly staring off into space.

Tom pulls away and there’s a moment where he looks like he wants to kiss Greg again. But when Greg blinks, it’s gone and Tom is getting to his feet with a manic grin plastered to his face.
“Well, I guess I should stop skulking in the dark and get back to my party!” he announces loudly enough that Greg jumps. “I’m a married man now, Gregory, and this is the – ” he falters, the smile wavering on his face for a moment. “This is the happiest night of my life,” he finishes.
“Yeah,” Greg says. “I know, Tom. I know.”

5 times Peter is stuck with Tony by iron_spider

Summary
(...and one time he’s stuck alone.)
“I wonder if Pepper’s reported me missing yet,” Tony says, with an exaggerated sigh. “I wonder if this is some kind of scheme to kidnap me or something.”
“I think the ride’s just broken,” Peter says.
“Today of all goddamn days,” Tony says, exasperation clear in his voice and in his eyes. “Ruining our trip—”
“It’s not ruined,” Peter says. “Look, we’re hanging out."
“Real quality time,” Tony huffs. “Us, a few other trapped members of the general public, and a handful of animatronic pirates. Drunk pirates. Repeating themselves.”

Summary
Homecoming AU.
Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.
So he leaves.
Simple.
Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.
And that’s when things get complicated.

Summary
Phoenix loses a trial. Miles wins one. Neither of them is in a particularly good mood about this.
Thanks to the narrative structure of the AA series, we don't get to see Phoenix lose or Miles win very much (even in AAI we don't see a judge declare someone as guilty, you really just investigate, and Phoenix even had the option of technically getting a not-guilty in Farewell My Turnabout), so I decided to have a look at what their reactions to winning and losing would be.
(Written for Narumitsu Week Days 3 and 4 with the prompts of "Losses" and "Victories", respectively)

“Don’t you think it’s boring, the same thing all the time? It’s nice to change it up every now and then.”
Changing it up, Thanatos thinks, looking back at Zagreus. Doesn’t that usually involve something like whips and chains? Not leaving them behind, again, after he had already promised to stay.
(Persephone finds a way to allow Zagreus to survive on the surface, and Thanatos is tasked with guiding him home.)
