Dick and Tim are caught in a time loop and have to figure out how to save Jason from the Joker. 333

Jason's first meeting with Tim derails all his plans (for the better). Oh boys.

Commander Fox is being followed by a documentary droid when things go wrong, or maybe they go very, very right. This is a sweetly deadpan fix-it that epitomizes "crack taken seriously."

Damian sneaks out to stop a cult (well, a group of LARPers, but whatever, he knows it's a cult). This is adorable.

citeSix months ago, Nightwing died. They never found the body. Last week, Deathstroke arrived in Gotham. He brought a partner with him./cite Oh, emDick/em... I enjoy this.

citeMost sensible people avoid the Barrel during major celebrations, out of a healthy sense of self-preservation and fondness for their limbs and wallets. Kaz, on the other hand, does not have the luxury of avoiding everyone else's good cheer. What he does have is a useless gang full of teenage idiots, an irritatingly persistent three-legged dog, a few memories he'd rather forget, and a time limit./cite Oh Kaz. This is a lot of fun.

Kaz and Inej break into a bathhouse, and thoroughly abuse the amenities therein. I enjoyed this a lot!

Peter investigates a theft from the Goblin Market. Enjoyable casefile.

Dick Grayson (DCU) accidentally lands himself in Battinson’s Gotham. 💙💙💙💙💙

I enjoyed this pair of stories where Robin gets captured and the Batfam mobilizes to get him back.

Din finds himself in the Republic Senate just before the first battle of Geonosis. This is hilariously great.

Really excellent Pacific Rim AU because of course Harrow and Gideon would be drift compatible.

Having undone the Lyctoral process, Gideon and Harrow find they have some things to work out. This is sweet and hot and funny. 3

Really lovely AU of how Cass (and Tim!) joins the family early. 333

This is an AMAZING story that starts when Wenwu haunts Wong and generally makes life more interesting. 333

citeMaster of Mystic Arts? That’s not a real Masters./cite A sweet conversation between Wong and his mom.

citeTim Drake opens his sparse text thread with Jason Todd and shoots I need backup! into the virtual ether./cite This is very cute! And check out the fanart linked at the end.

Fix-it for Rogue One involving the Leverage crew. 3

Lovely look at Kaz post-Crooked Kingdom.

citeIn some ways, his entire relationship with Crowley is just a conversation that’s been going on for six thousand years, one that’s ranged over every topic and idea except those that they, by agreement, Didn’t Talk About. And that’s beautiful and it’s brilliant, of course, but it’s difficult, too; it means there are pockets of ground where past disagreements and slights and agonies are buried, ready to explode the minute either one of them steps wrong. Aziraphale thinks the average human, wonderful creatures though they are, would probably melt down into eternal hysterics after the first thousand years or so. Honestly, some days he feels like he might./cite Long, lovely read in which Aziraphale and Crowley do some thinking and talking after averting the apocalypse.

The Wayne kids do a puppy interview. Adorable!

citeSome years down the road, an assassination attempt is leveled against Kaz. Inej absolutely does not take it well./cite This is fun - the first story is about the assassination attempt and the second a coda about their wedding night. Lovely.

citeOver the course of his life, Hob has been more than well acquainted with despair. Comes with the territory, a bit. Not even immortals have infinite strength. It took some centuries, though, before he became acquainted with Despair. In the flesh, as it were. Is it strange to find a degree of comfort in the personification of abject misery? Probably. But there've been times when she's been there, and that made all the difference./cite Oh, lovely!

cite"Did you not hear me, Richard? My class will be putting on a talent show, and participation is mandatory." "Okay," Dick said, putting a bowl of last night's stew in the microwave. "What are you thinking of doing?" "That's the problem. Father will undoubtedly refuse to allow me to do anything related to combat, which means I have no options left."/cite Oh heart! #we were the best richard

Anakin and Obi-Wan bodyswap and...nobody really notices the difference? This is a lot of fun.

citeInej needs a powerful man dead. Kaz, busy conducting 'renovations' across the West Stave and feuding with famous stage actors, is glad to have the opportunity to eliminate a threat./cite I enjoyed this a lot!

Jesper and Kaz go swimming. Oh heart.

Really lovely Endgame-AU where Steve stays in the present with Bucky. 3
