It begins with another Bruce, looking around his cave and asking, “So where are the kids?” Bruce has never thought about having a family before. But once the idea occurs to him, it's hard to think about anything else. AU where Batman's never had a Robin, but discovers his kids via the multiverse and brings versions of them home. I enjoyed this.
When Jason Todd died, Bruce Wayne had a hard time letting go or dealing with any reminders of his son. When Jason Todd came back, what he needed to know was how much he had mattered. Fortunately, these things overlapped. Or, the story in which Jason listens to some voicemails for a dead boy— the boy who was him. GROSS SOBBING.
Instead of training him to kill, Talia brings Jason home after his dip in the Lazarus Pit. Everyone handles it better that way. Oh my heart. This is absolutely the kind of homecoming Jason deserved.
The revelation that Aziraphale might have been in love with him for thousands of years is surprising. The fact that literal books have been written on the subject comes as even more of a shock. Hee! Taking mutually oblivious pining the really long way around.
where were you when I was king in this part of town? by
Dick breaks up a mugging and realizes there's something familiar about the homeless kid who didn't really need saving. Oh my heart. *sobs* The fact that he doesn't recognize him at first feels both true and extra heartbreaking.
have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices? by
Two-part series including the one where Steph finds Jason (and Cass) on the street and the one where Bruce tracks down Steph's daughter. GROSS SOBBING.
Jason comes back to Gotham after taking time to find himself. Bruce is thrilled to get his son back a second - and happier - time. Oh my heart. #i'm not crying it's just raining on my face
Bruce takes the kids on a night hike to do some stargazing. Hijinks ensue. Oh heart.I love that they act like a *family* here, not just an affiliated coalition of vigilantes.
Jason intends to visit Alfred at the Manor on Halloween and finds Bruce at the door instead. Reconciliation ensues. Oh my heart. #i'm not crying you're crying
Steph bribes Jason to attend her statistics class, where they are going to discuss superheroes. Things get hilariously out of hand. And in the second story, the rest of the Batfamily finds out. I laughed out loud a lot.
