    Summary

    Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.

    Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)

    And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.

    Sort of.

    Summary

    When Peter woke up, he spent a good fifteen or twenty seconds earnestly wishing that whatever had hit him had the courtesy to kill him outright. Because this? This was bullshit.

    AKA the time I decided to give Peter all the nice things, but made him get hit by a car first. Like you do.

    Summary

    Jason's on the trail of a killer who's targeting kids in Crime Alley for an unknown magical ritual. Between that and his family who insists on butting in, he's got his work cut out for him. But, as they say, nothing is as it seems.

    Magic doesn’t come to Gotham.

    Which is simplifying it. Because, well, magic isn’t allowed in Gotham, first off. But also, it really doesn’t want to come to Gotham. Of all the things the Bat tries to keep out, magic is the easiest because magic wants to stay as far away from the city as possible. Zatanna called it a “cesspit of untamed ambient magic,” which was being nice even with calling it a cesspit. The last time some asked Constantine about Gotham he just laughed, lit his cigarette, and walked away.

    NOW with ART in the endnotes!!!

    Summary

    He doesn't expect Bruce to aim for the neck. Slitting someone's throat always seemed like it would be more his gig than the Bat's.

    Edit- As of 1/26/21 this work has been edited and reformatted. No major plot changes, but there are some small changes and additions for coherency.

    Also I finally finished it!

    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?

    Summary

    Alfred was already ancient when he first sailed across the Atlantic. He was old, jaded and lonely, when he met Gotham. She was young, or so he thought at the time, but she was interesting. Her heart was dark, and her energy bright and chaotic.

    The heart of a city is made of stone, but Gotham let him stay in hers.

    (Yeap. This is sentient Gotham/Alfred (who is also an eldritch being, because of course he is). I was appalled that this ship didn't already exist, and so I was required to write it for myself.)

    Summary

    Jason had two ways he could do this. A, go to the living room, explain to Tim and hope that he would be nice enough to keep working from Jason’s lap, or something. Or B, suffer in silence.
    A sudden jolt of pain shooting through his body made the decision for him. “Oh, fuck it.”


    Jason is hit by Cuddle Pollen for the first time since coming back to Gotham. He underestimates how badly it will affect him and has to make the impossible decision: spend the next few hours in tortourous agony, or ask his brother for help. It’s harder for him to choose than one might think.

    Summary

    Well, Tim is resourceful, even if he’s a cat now. Bruce is still on patrol and won’t be back for a while, but Dick and Damian are both at the manor. Tim will make his way there, tap out morse code to explain what happened, and then they’ll get him turned back into regular ol’ Tim.

    All in all, this will just be a minor setback.

    -

    Tim gets turned into a cat by magic nonsense. His family doesn't figure it out as quickly as he'd like.

    Summary

    Someone trips his window alarm at 4:08 in the morning and Jason twitches awake. He grabs his sword as he rolls out of bed. His current safe house is located in one of the better neighborhoods in the Fashion District, and he doesn’t want to shoot a gun here if he can help it.

    In the living room, he sees a shadowy figure straighten out of a crouch.

    “Don’t shoot,” the intruder says.

    Or: Jason can't believe the Replacement has the audacity to come through his window looking for help.

    Summary

    Flash is invited (told) to attend a gala with Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman, except no one will be in costume and Barry’s not even sure he owns a suit nice enough for this kind of event. Once he arrives, he tries desperately not to screw up the mission while Bruce Wayne flirts with him, a nepo baby gives him crackers, and everyone around him seems to be laughing at some joke he hasn’t gotten yet.

    Summary

    Death’s claim on Jason Peter Todd was a complicated, unpredictable thing. Whatever the reason may be, he is here, now; placed here by the same thing that revived him in his coffin, all those years ago. Picking himself up and carving a space for himself in a world that hasn’t planned for him is just what you do.

    Or

    Jason Todd dies and wakes up in a strange, new Gotham, populated by strange, new iterations of his family. It’s far from the worst thing that could have happened.
