Two nights in a safe house. Written for my prompt, Dick and Jason watch over each other after being fear gassed (at separate times) and begin repairing their relationship. Oh heart.

Dick gets a text to come pick up a lost phone since his number – filed under N – is the only one in the contacts. Dick helps Jason out, even if Jason didn't ask for the help. Oh heart.
While out on patrol one night, Bruce encounters a kidnapping attempt. A pretty routine night, unfortunately. When the victim in question happens to be a 9-year-old Jason Todd, however, Bruce finds himself getting a little too attached to a child he just met. Was it okay to kidnap a child right off the street and keep him? Bruce just wants to keep Jason safe. Jason is afraid Bruce has bought him for nefarious reasons. Alfred is the best. They eventually work things out. *sniffle*
Jason's death and resurrection gives him a window into seeing death where it touches other people. He and Dick team up on a case when it gets a little overwhelming for him. I enjoyed the case and the growing feelings/pining a lot.
After his confrontation with Bruce and the Joker goes bad, Jason washes up in Bludhaven and begins forming a tentative connection with Dick. This is lovely.

Dick and Jason get hit by a love curse. (They do not get hit by a love curse.) As the author's notes put it, Dick and Jason's secret relationship is so secret, even they don't know about it. Boys are so dumb about feelings.
Long (250k words!) compelling AU where Vader raises Luke and Leia to be servants of the Empire, but eventually they learn some unsettling truths and have to decide their own paths.
Red Hood helps Batgirl take down some goons, and in the process they -- through absolutely no fault of their own-- sorta destroy one of Bruce’s prized motorcycles. This is adorable.
“Quickly. Up,” the man at Joe’s side says, lifting beneath Joe’s elbow, and Joe doesn’t know him but somehow he thinks, I’d follow you anywhere, and then he gets up and he does. Or: the one where Joe has amnesia but he and Nicky are still devoted husbands. This is achingly lovely.
i think i've seen this film before by @magneticwave.ao3
Harry from an alternate universe where there was no second war with Voldemort gets sent to the canon universe and finds everything really weird, though not as weird as Hermione and Draco find him. This is really fun (though I was kind of hoping for Harry/Luna at the end there...)
Been locked and you’re the key by @caughtinanocean.ao3
Bucky twists in his arms and looks up. He’s beautiful, illuminated only by the streetlights coming through the window. “You...really don’t give a fuck,” Bucky says, his voice all wonder. “Who doesn’t have a past?” Steve tells him. Steve will remember this, too: the moment when the light finds Bucky’s eyes. This time, Steve kisses Bucky goodnight before they go to sleep — just a small kiss, sweet and tender, passing like a prelude, like a promise. This is a really beautifully written (comics) AU, and also NAMOR is GREAT.
Penthe and Arha share a stolen moment, along with some stolen food. This is really lovely, and as always, I hope Penthe escaped the Place when it collapsed.
Andromache tells him: "The Greeks used to have seven different words for love. Well. More, probably. But I remember seven." She shrugs. "There are many ways to love one another, and life is long. We've time enough for them all. It's the only thing that makes it worthwhile." Nicky and his immortal family, over the centuries. Lovely.
