  1. Summary

    More or less set in the universe of the Wayne Family Adventures, but not in the sense it adheres to canon. It's all vibes. Softer, gentler, sillier stories about the Batfam.

  2. Summary

    I grew up with Batman and Robin from the 60s, 70, and 80s. Batman and Robin was for kids; it was silly and fun and didn't take itself seriously at all. These stories are inspired by those sources, as well as LEGO Batman the movie and video games.

  3. Summary

    These are connected, but it isn't necessary to read them in order. A series of ultra-serious, totally not crack, absolutely dark and grim stories about the Bat Family living their best lives (or trying) in Gotham. In exactly the same way that LEGO Batman is dark and grim.

  4. Summary

    Real life, in a world where things are a little bit sillier than normal, except when they aren't.

    Contains: Men who love other men, with the occasional appearance of women who love other women, women who love men, men who love women, and men who have a love/hate relationship with green vegetables. Sexy talk, sexy scenes, actual sex. Fish.

    Canon? That turned a sharp left towards the porn store run by a duck sometime in BtVS Season 5 and never looked back.

    Summary

    Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.

    She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.

    “Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.

    “You long to go back.”

    “Yes.”

    “For a different outcome.”

    Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”

    “I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”

     

    Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.
