In which Damian gets a perilous case of the hiccups and Jason deals with the strange experience of seeing himself in his younger brother.

Anakin doesn't turn to the Dark Side, but he does get a little set on fire in the fated battle that destroys the Sith, and Padme for reasons somewhat relatedly to the fact that a Sith Lord was in charge of the Republic decides to have something of a nervous breakdown and flee the Republic. After committing some light treason. They fuck off to Naboo and have run-of-the-mill Good End AU adventures, kind of, and Obi-Wan tags along, kind of.

Jason's on the trail of a killer who's targeting kids in Crime Alley for an unknown magical ritual. Between that and his family who insists on butting in, he's got his work cut out for him. But, as they say, nothing is as it seems.

Feeling miserable after Aziraphale returned to Heaven, Crowley decides to make his bad mood somebody else's problem. Moving in with Gabriel and Beelzebub is the only logical conclusion.

Seven years after her midnight escape, Aravis returns to the Tisroc's Garden. Notes:

In the wake of Jack and Janet Drake's untimely death, Bruce sets out to search for their missing son, determined to adopt him. After a long, arduous search, he finally brings home a new addition to his family.He fails to realise that the new kid living in Wayne Manor is not Tim Drake.

Batman is dead, and Dick has reluctantly taken up the mantle.So then why are there four Batmen, all clearly Bruce, standing in front of him on this rooftop?

Damian meets Jason while Talia is taking care of him, post-resurrection but pre-Lazarus pit.

Muriel is doing a fantastic job! Muriel is having a wonderful time! Muriel is hard at work running A.Z. Fell and Co and will maybe get a commendation for doing such a good job! But it would be easier if Crowley would stop coming round and knocking things over.

Phryne has a little bit of excitement on her first trip to America after the Second World War.

Jason has been many things: Bruce Wayne's son, Robin, living, dead, living again, pit mad, only pit mad-ish. He's not quite sure what he is anymore. But he is sure of one thing, after meeting eight-year-old Damian al Ghul in the League of Assassins. He is going to steal Ra’s al Ghul’s grandson. And when he does that, the only place the two of them will be safe is in Gotham.

Bruce finds a suspicious man lurking in his office late at night. For whatever reason, he's wearing a cape.

"I was sent here as a punishment, surely," Damian deadpans."Are you feeling punished?" Martha sounds like she’s laughing at him. Unacceptable."Absolutely."

Contrary to popular belief, Damian Wayne was keenly aware of all of his flaws. His entire life had been about improving, about becoming the best version of himself possible, and how could he possibly do that without meticulously recording, indexing, and attempting to correct every single one of his weaknesses? Not all flaws, however, were so easy to fix. Frankly, he wasn’t even sure if they could be fixed.

His smile widens. “You will pick one to kill. I shall give you ten minutes to decide and say your goodbyes. If you have not killed one of your brothers when the time is up, I will kill all three.”Jason feels the bottom drop out of his stomach. This was supposed to buy him time, not give him a literal deadline.“You see, little blade? I have made it so easy for you. You aren’t even really killing one. You are saving two. Your time starts now.”

It's cold out, and Jason steals the Batmobile's tires....twice.

Bruce goes back for Jason after the showdown between him and the Red Hood (and the Joker), and finds out exactly what his batarang hit.

“Good to have you back, B-Man,” she said. “Though not gonna lie, you were way more fun as a kid.”“Not a claim many would make,” Alfred muttered, and Steph reached around Bruce to high-five him.Was Bruce pouting? She was pretty sure he was pouting.

He's five years late, but Bruce finally teaches Jason how to shave.
