This is the reason why Bruce doesn't let them watch Ovation TV anymore. in which Bruce's children torment him with musicals. HILARITY.

What happens to Natasha after the movie ends.

Jason says, “You make a cake, Alfred? ”Happy Death-Day, Jason“ piped over the top?” And Alfred responds, after a moment, “I could, sir. If you thought it would help.” Jason comes home for his death-iversary. Oh my heart. #i'm not crying you're crying

Steve takes a few side trips, ties up a few loose ends, on his final trip through time.

Peter keeps a video diary. *sob*

In which the kids are all right. Oh heart.

the red hood is a crime lord, yes. but he is more than that, to the people of crime alley. he is their hope. (no caps tho, if that's a problem)

Bruce sees echoes of his parents in his children. Oh my heart. #i'm not crying you're crying

Steph stops a mugging in Crime Alley, because it's the right thing to do.

Steve's journey at the end. Nicely done. Endgame spoilers.

Beautiful missing Tony/Pepper scene from Endgame.

Really lovely missing scene for Endgame. Spoilers obv.

A late night conversation between Steve and Bucky. Oh my heart. (Endgame spoilers)

An alternate ending to Endgame.

She wanted to sort out the tangle of feelings and turn them into something comforting and true. That Rory might veer toward suckiness sometimes, but it was literally impossible for her to be worthless. That she glowed with some constant, inexplicable magic, like Claire Danes in the movie about the star. When her husband decided he was going to be a creative writer, Paris’s heart had no trouble switching right off, but when Rory decided to do it, Paris’s heart was nothing but all in, ready to fight the world to help Rory make that dream come true. Probably best not to examine that. Lovely, post YitL Paris/Rory.

MCU/LOTR fusion set after the war of the ring. it shouldn't work, but it does, with a nice Steve/Bucky relationship and some fun stuff for the others. (no thor or hulk, though)

The one where Jason invites the other batboys over for post-patrol dinner. oh heart

Epic, compelling read in which Batman hangs up the cowl after Joker is killed, only to be drawn back into crimefighting by the appearance of a scary new player in Gotham's criminal underworld. Plus, excellent Bat/Cat interaction, some fun Dick/Babs, and surprise appearances by other members of the Batfam.

AU where Lois works for Buzzfeed and Clark is her nerdy intern. ADORABLE.

Smart, thoughtful examination of Barbara Gordon during the Invasion arc of (animated) Young Justice. (some issues with word choice confusion, e.g., defunct for de facto)

The Nine Nine adopts Batman. ADORABLE.

Steph gets to know Jason despite the rest of the family's disapproval. even robins unite!

Damian has a unique way of expressing gratitude. With the Bats, it's only a matter of time before this spirals out of control. this is ADORABLE.

AU where Talia makes a little family with Damian and Jason instead of sending Jason off to be trained.

Before their last performance together, the Schuyler sisters came together one last time to perform "For The Longest Time".

Miss Chrisjen Avasarala with your bullshit. This is AMAZING, as is befitting of Chrisjen Avasarala.

Bruce is thrilled to have all five of his kids under his roof for Christmas for the first time, but he's still not quite sure how to handle Jason. Luckily, they figure it out. Oh heart.
