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 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'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.
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.
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!
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
“What did you do to it?” Han asks, horrified. Leia has no idea, but she isn't about to admit that. Luke leaves a plant with Leia while he's off adventuring. Leia's not thrilled about this. This is adorable.
"Is this heaven?" He laughs a little, as if to show that he's joking. "My little corner thereof, you might say." Aziraphale smiles back. Chidi visits Aziraphale's bookshop. Oh heart. And the two sequels are here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22867615 and here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22867672

Stephanie Brown is dead. And yet, Bruce Wayne can’t stop seeing her out of the corner of his eye. He’s used to being haunted by his mistakes, but this is the first time that it’s literal. Oh Bruce. Oh, Steph. *sobs*
Tim finds a catatonic Jason in an alley in Gotham and tries to reunite him with Bruce. It doesn't go quite as easily as he'd hoped. And then in the second story, Bruce tries everything he can think of to help Jason recover. Oh my heart.
