Batfamily

Ebb and Flow. by orpheusaki
The recurrent pattern of coming and going, decline and regrowth, of Bruce Wayne. Oh Bruce...

Every Beginning is a Promise by Zahri
The conclusion of five first patrols of Bruce with his Robins, and one first patrol with a Batgirl. Exactly what it says on the tin. Oh heart. #the batdad his batkids deserve

Identity Theft by TaraLaurel
Tim Drake puts together a very realistic Robin costume for Halloween and gets mistaken for the real deal. Oh Tim... this is a good read.

Individualized Education Plan by cowboysorceror & deadchannelradio
Damian pulls out his phone and dials Richard's number- his chauffeur has been unfortunately painstakingly instructed to answer no calls whatsoever from Damian, and Alfred has begun to pretend that phones do not exist during school hours. Unsurprisingly, as it is eight in the morning, it goes to voicemail. Damian waits impatiently for the beep. "Richard," he says, in tones of the deeply suffering, "this place is a hostile environment. I must be collected post-haste, as after this latest indignity I am dropping out. Come at once, or I may die here."

The dynamic duo attend a parent-teacher conference. No one has a good day. Poor Damian! It's not his fault everybody wants Dick. Hee!

Innocence Died Screaming by Chemical_Processes
Fascinating AU where Tim ends up being raised by Shiva and then the League, where he's Damian's bodyguard.

Made for Bad Things by Calculatrice
Dick picks Damian up from school, and they pass by a murder on the way home. Surprisingly, this isn't the most stressful part of their commute. oh my heart... #we were the best richard

mechanically up all night, though by a_alene
"I should toss you off this fucking roof," Jason mutters.

"Bitch," Steph says cheerily. "You are welcome to try."

Steph hangs with the Outlaws. Hee! I enjoyed this one.

Normal Things by ManURonaldo
When stopping a bank robbery becomes unexpectedly complicated, Dick and Jason find themselves in the past with a very drunk, very concerning, very teenage Bruce Wayne. *sobs*

a ripple in the wound and wake by countrycoleslaw
Batman dies saving Red Hood.

Jason Todd doesn't agree with this outcome and wishes for more time.

He wakes up, thirteen and earnest, in his childhood bedroom in Wayne Manor. Bruce is knocking at his door in an attempt to rouse him. Jason remembers this day. They're going to a Gotham Knights game later in the afternoon. Bruce's blood is still warm and criminal on his hands.

Or, the one where being Robin never gave Jason magic—he was a little magic all along. Jason decides to do things a little differently the second time around. This time, he's determined to save Bruce—soul and all. Long, engrossing read that broke my heart several times before finally putting it all back together. Highly recommended!

Resurgo by Trisdani
"You can't participate in the Olympics, Dick."

Dick blinked. "Oh…" He tried to sound casual. "Uh, yeah, no, that wasn't even– It was a joke." He shrugged. "The Olympics are lame."

Bruce watched him for a long moment. "You know why, right?"

Dick forced himself to meet his eyes. "Robin, for obvious reasons."

or, Dick goes to the Olympics as an act of teenage rebellion. Oh Dickie… oh heart...

Adorable scenes from the early days of the Dynamic Duo in the Battinson 'verse.

Todd Peter's Bestseller by saniiiiitizer
Jason hadn't expected much when he published his book. At most a few people might buy it and that would be it.

What he hadn't expected was people would go crazy for his book, and it would end up becoming a best seller.

What he also hadn't expected was that people around him would read the book and recommend it to him.

Who would Jason be, if he doesn't take this God given opportunity to mess with his family? Hee! This is fun!

Wherever I Am, I Am What is Missing by carolinaa
Damian's father has returned to the present day, and things should feel normal now. Instead, they feel more fractured than ever before. When Damian notices that someone's actually checking up on him, specifically, he drops everything to try and return that contact.

Why doesn't Talia want to talk to him? Tense, compelling read. Oh Damian...

At the end of the Third Age, Maglor finds his way to Rivendell, and must decide whether or not to sail West with Elrond. This is really lovely.
