"Nat. If you were in heaven, or having some kind of after-life experience, would we both be dripping wet and would I still be a giant pain in your ass?" This should have been the post-credits scene for Endgame.

Damian teaches Jason how to drive. This is adorable. (though there is some brake/break confusion)

Someone spots the Batman kissing Mild Mannered Reporter Clark Kent. Hijinks ensue. This little series is hilarious, and read the deleted scenes too, for the utterly amazing rescue of Alfred.

AU for the end of Endgame. Steve comes back and Bucky learns to live with him again.

this takes place in an AU where Steve gets dusted while Bucky doesn’t, which means Bucky’s the one who goes time-heistin’. this happened. Oh heart.

batman vs. shortbread!

"I needed an Avenger who's both good with children and can be trusted with them. Which is not a combination I'm finding in most of them, honestly." Peter doesn't expect being an emergency babysitter to lead to bonding with Morgan and talking to Pepper about stuff he thought he'd really rather not talk about. *sobs*

series of connected one shots of the batboys finding common ground while bruce is gone in the timestream

Long, compelling read where it turns out that Tim is also Bruce's biological son, and this has implications for everyone. (The elder Drakes do not come off at all well.)

The boys freak out upon learning Alfred was subject to an attempted carjacking. As he likes to remind them it was only *attempted*. ♥ALFRED♥

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.

Endgame spoilers, so my comments are in ROT13: Fgrir trgf uvf frpbaq punapr jvgu Crttl, naq gura ur trgf n frpbaq punapr jvgu Ohpxl.

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.
