When an Outlaws mission gets Jason sent back twelve years in the past, he finds himself in a familiar position: stealing something stupid and getting caught by a Batman who wants to give him a second chance.

It’s a refreshing change from how encounters with his present-day Batman usually go. (companion piece to through death and time, also recced.) Oh Jason. Oh heart.

A stranger appears in the Jedi Temple. Nobody knows who he is or where he came from. Nobody knows what has happened to him except that it must have been something truly terrible.

The stranger's name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. Oh, Obi-Wan...

Bruce offers each of his children the chance to go on vacation with him, and they get to choose the destination. Jason chooses the one place he thinks Bruce will enjoy the least, out of spite.

That’s how the two of them end up going to Disney World. hearteyes

When a version of Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent from an alternate universe where there are no superheroes find themselves in the mainstream DC universe, they kick off a series of events that impacts everyone in the Wayne and Kent families… in both worlds.

I enjoyed the 3 stories where there was crossover between the canon universe and the no-capes AU (I didn't read the standalones in the no-capes AU).

“What about yourself, Richard?” asks the reporter, widening her own insincere smile to match as she turns her torso half an inch towards him. “As the eldest I am sure you are simply overjoyed to have your brother back but, might I ask: why is it, do you think, that you are the only one of Mister Wayne's children that he hasn't formally adopted?”

Oh Dick. Oh heart.

Red Hood: is N… adopted?

Oracle: I’m pretty sure you all know whether or not you’re B’s bio-kids

RR: no like… did he /get/ adopted?

Oracle: 1 sec

Oracle: Holy shit This is adorable.

When Batman gets hit with fear toxin, he worries about his Robins.

His Robins think it's their job to deal with it.

Jason wasn't aware anyone still included him in that group, but according to Tim, he's the only one available. Oh my heart. #i'm not crying you're crying

There are two problems with Bernard's conspiracy theories.

The first is that, while his theories are technically well thought out and backed with real evidence, they're also often wildly incorrect. Case and point, he thinks Bruce Wayne and Batman “Fucking hate each other.”

The second and much bigger problem is that he can't keep them to himself. This, of course, leads all of Gotham to conclude that Batman and Bruce Wayne are exes. hee!
