Summary
Dumbledore raises an eyebrow, his blue eyes glinting behind his half-moon spectacles. “I am hoping, my dear Poppy, that you are not averse to tunnels?”
“I’m not sure it matters.”
“Oh, it matters very much.”
When Albus Dumbledore plants a killer tree and tells her he’s admitted a Class XXXXX student, Poppy Pomfrey is not happy - even if he says Remus Lupin is the loveliest, sweetest, most agreeable first year around.

Summary
Nancy doesn’t know how to help him, how to fix this. All his anger, his melancholy had lived with him for so long that he had turned them into the labour of everyday life. Something inherent and unavoidable like breathing. Jonathan’s loneliness, his isolation were planted in him before he even knew what they were, the roots seeping into his very core. Nancy doesn’t know how to weed them out. She doesn’t know how to save him.
*
Nancy, Jonathan and the 18 months between season 4 and 5. They love each other, it's hard.

Summary
Aki licked his lips, chapped in the cold weather. They have a warm pinkness to them after he’s done, and the colour reminded Angel of a limited cotton candy ice cream he’d gotten at one of the local vendors. It wasn’t their best flavour, it’s not a surprise it didn’t maintain its stay.
“If you were me… What would you do?”
He’s relieved that’s the question. It’s the easiest one he’s gotten all day. All week. Maybe the easiest one he’s gotten his entire life.
“That’s simple. I’d run and never look back.”
Or:
Aki Hayakawa chooses differently. Angel Devil bears in the tide.

Summary
"There a lot of things about Zuko that the servants ignore. He is half-way between skins now. He shed the old one and hasn’t grown into the new one, trapped between worlds and skins and identities. Some days he feels more like Li the war-child refugee than Zuko, the Fire Lord."
Zuko attempts to lead his nation into peace, kicking and screaming in protest. He discovers what it means to survive a war- and a childhood- that no one ever wanted or expected him to.

That's the thing. Dick looked right at the kid, broken hand and all, and nearly let him in. He nearly let him train.
Because after all these years, he didn't process anything wrong with the image before him.
(Dick, Bruce, and the implications of raising a partner instead of a child.)

Summary

If he could keep his brothers alive.
---
When a mysterious villain targets the Robins, forcing them together, Dick is bound and determined to keep his brothers safe no matter the cost. Unfortunately for him, so are they.

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
Religion! Horror! Exorcisms! Piercings! And Gerard is a priest.
Disclaimer: I stole frequently and unrepentantly from Joss Whedon and the makers of various horror movies throughout this whole series. Also I am not an expert on the Vatican or medical-type things, so please accept my apologies in advance for all the wild inaccuracies I am sure you are about to encounter. If everyone could just assume this is the Magical Made-Up Vatican, you know, like the religious institution version of those tour buses that drive themselves and don't carry anyone but the band, that would be awesome.

The BAU is No Place for a Bat by Rosie_the_Fanfic_Reader

Summary
She sighs again, “you and that damn hero complex.”
Dick shoots her a grin, “is it a complex if I actually am a hero?”
**
The BAU gets a new recruit. he's young, charming, and all of his answers lead to more questions.
It's one bat vs. six of the best profilers in the world and the second best tech goddess in history so it's really anyone's guess whether Dick Grayson will learn all their secrets before they learn his.
It's okay, though, he only has to last long enough to either keep Emily Prentiss alive or figure out if she's working with a mass terrorist.

Summary
Dick and Bruce are like this:
Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity, but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.Their story has always been radioactive.
A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked, and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

It's a tragedy, the way we learned to love by Bruja_oscura
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics), Nightwing (Comics)
26 Jul 2025

Summary
Bruce has failed his sons. Spectacularly.
They say the first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one. For Bruce, that means admitting he's terrified of losing his children, and that his way of showing it has been to push them all away.
He let his fear speak for him. He let his grief build walls. And after a catastrophic argument driven by that fear, he's left with a son bleeding out in Crime Alley, another who won't even look at him, and two younger boys who slowly watched their father become a stranger.
There's no easy fix for this. No mission parameters to follow. To even begin to mend what he's broken, Bruce must do the one thing he's worst at: he must talk. He must apologize. And he must finally, finally learn that love isn't a strategy—it's a choice you make, over and over again, even when it hurts.
Or: Bruce Wayne's Guide to Fucking Up Your Kids and (Hopefully) Learning to Fix It.

Summary
So, it didn’t start out like this.
Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-
So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.
It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:
“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”
--
A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.
