Summary
The man who'd caught his attention was not that rich loser. It was someone much worse—the aptly named Richard Summers who'd been all but running a campaign in the news lately, claiming Bruce was abusing him.
Robin was hardly scared of anyone or anything.
Except for one thing: being taken away.

Summary
"Huh, so I guess it kind of comes in phases? He relents and then gets strict again?" Duke muses.
Dick and Jason have wrapped up by now. Dick makes his way over to the bench where Duke is sitting and grabs a towel and water bottle. "What do you mean?" Dick asks after taking a swig of water.
"I mean, you were in Blüdhaven a few years ago, right? And those reports were completely sparse. And then the ones from more recently have more detail again," Duke clarifies.
Dick freezes. It's minuscule, doesn't even last a second before his body language relaxes again, but Duke notices. He really is getting better at this whole vigilante-detective thing.
--
An innocent question leaves Dick spiraling and the rest of the family grappling as they discover more about the Golden Child.

Summary
"Okay," Steph says, clapping her hands together. It's times like these the cheerleader in her pops out, her ponytail swinging as she gestures to her wide range of face masks, laid out like a buffet. "These are the ones I don't care about if they get ruined, so have at them!"
--
The batkids have a slumber party. It goes as well as expected.

Summary
Ugh. Little brothers. They’re the worst. "Okay, fine, I'll bite. Why are you here then?"
"I can't just sit here? Is that illegal now?"
“In Bruce’s study?”
Jason just looks at him.
“Jason.” Dick walks up to the desk, suspiciously peering around.
Jason jerks and attempts to get in his way, but Dick is quick and fully willing to vault over his brother. Only, Jason immediately latches onto him, and the momentum sends them stumbling back, knocking into the desk.
...
It's a good thing Jason stopped him, for right behind the desk, where Dick would've landed, is a swirling void.
“What the fuck?” Dick sputters. “No, seriously, what the fuck?”

Damian has never understood Drake. At least, not until he gets a confusing phone call on patrol.

Tim gets a pet. He and Damian bond over it. It's wholesome.

Improvisational exorcist Dick!! So funny, but also a deep reflection on who Dick Grayson is.

Summary
Some lunatic in a bat costume is running around Gotham clowning on fools, but local delinquent Stephanie Brown has way bigger problems. When her father and friends start joining mob wars Steph knows she has to do something about it before Gotham collapses. If that means joining up with rich dudes playing dress up, pasty nerds with hacking and photography habits, and throwing on a costume herself, then that’s just what she’ll have to do. Even if Batman works alone. She’s convincing.
In which Stephanie Brown rocks the radical nineties and becomes the first Robin, ruining Batman’s life and giving Tim Drake a hobby.

A new all time favorite. I’m obsessed, mob princess Steph is everything I never knew I needed. Love her!!! And her relationships with Bruce and Tim are so fun too. Very well done, and you’ve gotta love a period piece ;)

Summary
Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."
Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."
(Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)

Enthralling. Political intrigue, romance, Bruce’s stubborn inability to recognize something good in his life against Clark’s persistent kindness. Wonderful.

Summary
Steph doesn't tell anybody that her mom died. Everyone's always bitching and moaning about cleaning up her messes, so Steph handles this one all on her own.
No problem.

One of the best Steph-centric fics I’ve read.
Stephanie Brown, your acerbic wit has my heart.A beautiful exploration of grief, guilt, and giving up. An immediate all time favorite for its perfectly messy Steph characterization.
