Jason helps Damian rescue some puppies. Oh heart.

Nicely hot Dick/Jason. #ooh officer grayson ooh

A really lovely story that focuses on Grace and Frankie's feelings as Frankie quarantines for 14 days before she can be near Grace again. I didn't think I'd be able to read fic about current events but this worked for me.

These podcasts are perfect for those looking to drift off into a good night's sleep.

When Crystal Brown goes into rehab, leaving Stephanie in the sole custody of her father, Steph decides to run away from home, and meets Jason Todd, who decides that she is the best little sister ever. or: "the dark knight is beaten up by children on the anniversary of his parents death... tragic" This is ADORABLE. #even robins

While wrapping up an investigation into a human trafficking ring, Dick stumbles across a brother he thought dead. oh my heart.

The Flash has been turned into a woman, but that's not why he's seeking out Bruce Wayne on the red carpet. This is adorable. I love JL/JLU Flash so much.

Four outcasts from four different houses meet in detention. An AU where MWPP are all in different houses so they meet differently, but some things don't change. Oh heart.

Nearly a decade after the Battle of Hogwarts, Neville lives a quiet life: steady work as a tattoo artist, a wonderful flatmate in Luna Lovegood, and a brown tabby named Demetria. Whereas Draco Malfoy is still an attractive trainwreck, but with a certain tattoo that he needs to have removed. This is a lovely, slow, heartwarming story of how Neville and Draco get together.

After you’ve known Matches Malone long enough, you get used to him telling you about his kids. Not that his kids know about it. Bruce waxes rhapsodic about his kids while undercover as Matches. This is adorable. Silly old Bat.

There had been an accident. It had taken an eternity stuffed into a few seconds to convince Amanda Small that she did have the correct number. Bruce didn’t know Tim had put him down as an emergency contact, but such questions could wait. And the questions he had went unanswered. Oh Bruce.

AU where Talia calls Bruce to help escape the League when Damian is a baby. Oh my heart.

AU where Gimli is a diplomat who arranges a political marriage between Fili and Legolas to seal an alliance between Erebor and Mirkwood, and then proceeds to fall in love with Legolas himself. Oh my heart. This is lovely and full of delicious pining.

“Tim! What’s wrong with him?” “Relax, Goldilocks; he’s sleeping.” “Sleeping?” Dick asked, taking him from Jason. “Tim doesn’t sleep. How is he sleeping?” “I may have drugged him,” Jason revealed Tim and Jason have a very interesting way of being brotherly. I enjoyed this.

Jason has the chickenpox. Dick tries to keep him entertained. Oh heart.

Jason's needs have always been simple. And Alfred's good at simply meeting them. He needs food. Alfred makes food. It works out pretty well for both of them. And maybe they find their way to something more just by sitting at the dinner table. *sobs* oh my heart.

Warm, intimate moment where Selina takes care of Bruce when he's ill.

This is a really lovely look at Damian.

Sequel to "The Colour of Water" (previously recced) - Tarantula targets Robin and Dick tries to hold it together. This has some excellent Bruce-Dick and Dick-Jason interaction.

After Kon dies, Krypto chooses Tim as his new person. Oh my heart. This is ADORABLE.

Bruce, Jason and Tim get de-aged; Dick, Damian and Alfred deal with it. This is adorably fluffy.

Tim gives each of his brothers a birthday surprise, and they try to return the favor. Oh boys.

So funny story; the goddamned Winter Soldier was in his auntie’s shed. Funny story; Steve’s best buddy in the whole entire world - the one he hared off to the most dangerous corners of the earth to find, was in his goddamned Auntie’s shed. “Why are you in my Auntie’s shed?” Sam hissed. Hilarious!

Batman's not human and Clark wants to know what he is, exactly.

Tim meant to tell everyone, honestly he did, but with everything happening so rapid-fire—Ra’s Al Ghul’s campaign to take over WE, proving that Bruce wasn’t dead and bringing him back from the fringes of time or wherever he was stuck, WE and the Neon Knights, the Unternet thing, dealing with the usual fare of Gotham’s streets, reconnecting with Conner and the other Titans—it just sort of slipped Tim’s mind to tell anyone about what had happened to him. It wasn't as though any of them thought to ask either, so it had just sort of slipped through the cracks of ‘things that had happened to Tim on his little sojourn through Europe’. Tim has a rough time after he forgets to mention he no longer has a spleen and he gets sick. oh Tim. I enjoyed the sequel as well: https://archiveofourown.org/works/13986006 The Long Road Home
