Just a big ole list of papyrus fics

here are some fic recommendations!! most of these are angsty so general trigger warnings for self-harm and suicide!! please check the tags of the fics if you’re triggered by things like that :))… also please tell me if I messed up any of the links haha.. stuff in parentheses is my notes!

Last Updated: jul 26 2023

Confusion by uselessundertalefacts — summary: Ever since they moved to the Surface, Papyrus has been acting a little strange. Or maybe nothing's changed, and Sans has only started to notice now. Sans... isn't quite sure how he feels about it. (One of my favorites!)

The Kings Beneath the Mountain by ReaderRose — summary: King Papyrus, the first of his name, reigned for exactly eight months and seventeen days before falling down. Then he woke back up. (THIS IS UNFINISHED!!)

Tomorrow is Another Day by tangledkites — summary: Talking about things made them feel real, and Papyrus didn't want to feel real, especially now, when he was beginning to grasp the weight of the abuse Flowey inflicted on him. He didn't want to come to terms with how much he had completely and irreversibly changed. But unlike before, he wouldn't be alone. He had his brother now, and Sans would support him every step of the way. [This is a fanwork of a fanwork, meant to take place between chapters 24 & 25 of Flowey Is Not a Good Life Coach, by unrestedjade.]

Tally marks by UntoldMuse — summary: Papyrus saves Sans from doing something incredibly stupid one night. It devolves from there. (This fic… ouch…)

(try to) fix it by zehecatl — summary: It's a Bad Day for Papyrus. (AAAAAAAA)

Sans breaks by BubblyShip — summary: (There’s no summary, but basically Sans gets really mad at Papyrus for doing something stupid. I have really mixed opinions on this fic because it makes me feel sad for both of them…)

A Waltz to Schoenberg’s Op. 47, Accompanied by King Herod on the Saxophone by TownFowl — summary: What do you do with a bird in a cage? Do you ask him to dance when you’ve chained his legs? Do you ask him to fly when you’ve clipped his wings? Do you ask him to sing when you’ve slit his throat? The answer is simple. You pluck his feathers and cook him for dinner. (This one is really beautiful and poetic. It’s a metaphor for Papyrus’s insomnia.)

It’s Raining by kaliawai512 — summary: Gaster loves his sons. He loves Sans, his budding young scientist, energetic, dedicated, and ready to change the world. He loves Papyrus, his sensible, supportive, caring boy who still makes sure all of them eat three square meals and get enough sleep. He loves them more than anything else in the world, and all he wants is for them to have the life they always deserved. No matter what it t͚̫͔a̛̗̤͖̪͓̠̱͞ͅk̡̙̖̫̲̩͍͔̺̹̕e͓̤͘͜ş̪͍̺̗̕. (This is a good series, but it is so incredibly painful. I am not joking. If you love extreme pain and angst with minimal comfort, this is the fic for you!! The series is incomplete, but most of the fics are complete.)

Kingship, And What Comes Next by CatKing_Catkin — summary: "since you left, things have gotten really strange. overnight, a bunch of people mysteriously disappeared, as well as the human souls. people were heart-broken. everyone they looked up to, everything they were relying on, in one night, disappeared. everyone clamored to elect a new ruler as fast as possible. so, uh...by process of elimination...papyrus became the ruler?" This is the story of the Underground after Sans hung up the phone, after Papyrus took the throne. There's no one left to guide him, no one left to look up to. Papyrus doesn't want to let anyone down, especially not Sans when his brother is working so hard to support him. Sans doesn't want to let Papyrus down, when his brother really is all he has left. They make mistakes, they miss one another, but together, they try to figure things out. This is a story about growing up, moving on, and what's important in life. (This fic is so beautifully sad..)

Skipping Record by TheManicMagician — summary: Papyrus and Sans come to realize they're stuck in a never-ending loop of resets. They cope as best they can. (Aka, papyrus fucking loses it)

Letters to a Friend by maximum_overboner — summary: Papyrus, a little overwhelmed with his new position as king, sits down to write letters to his dear friend. After all, who wouldn't want to hear about his cool life, especially when they're relaxing on vacation? (ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch)

Jaimais Vu by maximum_overboner — summary: Entombed within the mountain was a town, and interred within that town there was a skeleton, and within that skeleton was the feeling that something was desperately wrong. (All of maximum’s fics are awesome)

Temporary Permanence by Shippo704 — summary: Repeating the same period of time over and over can really have an effect on a person, or in this case, a skeleton. (Undyne is a good friend but has some weird ideologies??)

Line of Balance by Im_The_Doctor (Bofur1) — summary: Papyrus always has a firm grasp on his emotions. He has to keep his smile on and set an example—which is why it's a little counterproductive that he's standing here now, crying over his pot of spaghetti. (Short but makes me feel so emotion :’))

Irredeemable by ReaderRose — summary: "He was going to wear a fedora and be kind of creepy, with no obvious redeeming qualities." Papyrus was just too great to have friends. Too cool. Too smart. That had to be it. It had to be. (Proto!Papyrus!! This is! So sad! Read it!!)

Enough by skerb — summary: Papyrus struggles through self-worth issues. Sans helps.

Touch and Go by Im_The_Doctor (Bofur1) — summary: Today is just like any other day. Papyrus intends to go about his business as usual—never mind his strange fatigue, or his terrible headache, or his voice giving out when he coughs. He'll deny anything is wrong until he can't anymore. (Sickfic!!)

Acceptable Risk by Im_The_Doctor (Bofur1) — summary: "Can Surface cars fly?" little Papyrus had asked once. Sans had concocted stories that left him in awe, fantasizing about how car doors transformed into wings. It was almost horrifically beautiful, how far the impact sent him and Papyrus now. They soared, wind behind them, frozen in an instant. (It’s no fun being hit by a car..)

(if you have a) bad day by ZekeStrife — summary: Sometimes, even Papyrus has a bad day.

Quiet Time by FuriousPoplar — summary: Papyrus was quiet, sometimes. He didn't think there was anyone he should let know, it just wasn't safe. So he smiled when he was happy, which he does his best to ensure is most of the time. But he also smiled when he was not, because he sort of had to, for his brother. Because of his brother. Maybe he can forget the act, for just a day. Maybe nobody will mind. [Not a chance.]

Encroach by maximum_overboner — summary: The Human had done it. Sans, along with Undyne, Mettaton and everyone Papyrus had really known, had been killed. And so he was there, in the golden, exquisite hall, waiting for them to arrive. He had a few choice words for them. (This…hurts)

Disconnect by Janie (JanieMogami) — summary: It's been one year since the seventh human fell and left Papyrus as the ruler of the Underground, and when Papyrus is finally faced with Undyne's death, the brothers must at last end the charade they've both been keeping up. (I can never resist a good king papyrus fic!!)

He Knows by orphan_account — summary: Why didn't he notice sooner? It was all there. And yet, he doesn't find out until he needs to. Sans slowly figures something out about Papyrus each RESET. Can you guess what?

Sonata by Yessica — summary: There are a lot of different ways to cope with your problems. Papyrus has his violin. (Lovely..)

Despite Everything, It’s Still You by AngeliaDark — summary: Papyrus meets the AU versions of himself, and finds things he has in common with them all--the good, and the bad--and learns more about himself in general. (I don’t normally read AU fics, but this one was p good! Just a warning, it is fairly suggestive but you can probably ignore those bits.)

remember a second ago by nilchance — summary: Papyrus waits for Sans. (Really good! Papyrus is a ghost and watches the genocide timeline play out.)

ten things about Papyrus by zehecatl — summary: here's a lie: Papyrus is fine (tw for sh!! but then again, most of these fics are angsty…)

ICARA by OsisHastoxett — summary: Flowey fucks around. Pre-Canon. (A bit like finaglc, but without the comfort. Very painful.)

Remember to Forget by Celtrist — summary: Anterograde amnesia. The loss of the ability to create new memories after the event that caused amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. (PAPYRUS AMNESIA. GOD THIS ONE HURTSSS)

Invisible by Keelynoelle — summary: Papyrus decided to tell his brother that their father isn't really gone. (Really wanted to slap sans for a second)

When The Great Tire by FamousSmuggler — summary: Captain Optimism is struck by the deadly Pessimist Ray (papyrus is feeling depressed)

Like a Rattlesnake by sugarrbearr — summary: Papyrus, in a moment of desperation and loneliness, turns to the absolute worst person he could ever befriend. Flowey, bored with the repetitiveness of his world, decides to see the limits of a certain skeleton. Even the strongest of people break at some point. (This is my fic ahshdhdkks,x… shameless promotion I know)

Vacation Days by sugarrbearr — summary: “what is going on, papyrus?” Sans asked, frustration clear in his voice. “DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?” said an exasperated Papyrus, who had taken a step away from Sans. Papyrus begins to remember things that he shouldn’t remember. He sees things that shouldn’t be there. What is he supposed to do when this leads to him hurting one of his friends? And will they ever forgive him? (More shameless promotion!! Weeee!!!!)

Flowey Is Not a Good Life Coach by unrestedjade — summary: Flowey gets bored and decides to change up one of his runs. Papyrus presents an interesting project, for the moment. (This one’s a classic!! How could I not include it??)

Taken by Anubisisbunagirl — summary: 6 years ago, Papyrus went missing. He is presumed dead by the world, save for his brother who still holds on to the hope that Papyrus may be alive. One night, it seems Sans hopes are coming true as his missing brother ends up at his doorstep. However, something definitely happened in the six years Papyrus was gone, something that changed him. And where did he get that LV from? (right now it's unfinished and ends on a cliffhanger, but the author is still working on it! papyrus centric but from mostly sans's pov. I don't usually like sans pov but this is REALLY GOOD)

Overdoing It by Gummysaur — summary: Everyone knows Papyrus is a kind person; he always has been, even as a child. However, he wasn't quite as strong and well-trained back then. Not a good combo when you get lost in the Snowdin Woods with all sorts of monsters-most not nearly as merciful as him. (kid papyrus story!! this is so angsty but so sweet AUguagui)

A Lasting Tribute by in_the_aroace_brigade — summary: “Papyrus? PAP? Don’t fall asleep, you’ve had a bad head wound but you are going to be alright.” Papyrus blinked his eyes and stared at her. “OF COURSE I WILL BE ALRIGHT, I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS AFTER ALL. I WAS JUST HAVING A TOUGH TIME REMEMBERING SANS RIGHT NOW." Undyne looked around before sighing and sitting him down on the floor, leaning him against the wall. She looked him straight in the eyesockets and brusquely said “Papyrus, you don’t have a brother. There is no Sans. He is a figment of your imagination, he isn’t real. Whatever magic you did to destroy the Barrier must have implanted these false memories in your mind, but it is okay, because we are free now and we’ll help you remember, okay?” (sans gets gastered and papyrus suffers)

He smiled at last. by SuckMyPiano — summary: A day at the beach, as Papyrus is getting used to his new life at the surface with Sans in his arms. (Dustjar au. This one really hurts…)

Heart on The Table by Floofanflur — summary: Papyrus had been calling to check on the human. It’d been a while since anyone had heard from them. But when a conversation revealed just how young they were, Papyrus realized things had to change. They were all on their own down here. Well, if there was no one to take care of the babybones, he would just have to do it himself! Sans was just trying to get through life, to ignore the apathy that had settled over him for Papyrus’s sake. It was just so hard to care about anything when you knew none of it mattered. But when Papyrus had him bring the anomaly home like a lost puppy, things stopped adding up. How could such a sweet kid be responsible for the relentless time loops? Frisk was used to being on their own. They were normally pretty great at taking care of themself. But they were so tired of dying over and over again. They just wanted to get back to the surface! With Undyne in the way, Frisk felt hopeless. When a phone call from Papyrus somehow ended with an offer for them to crash at the skeleton brothers’ house, Frisk was just relieved for the break. They could afford to rest for a while, couldn’t they?

I will add more fics probably… for now, go enjoy these ones!!

It is still absolutely a marvel to me how much BATFAMILY fic I have been reading and enjoying, it's been awhile since I've gone at such a sustained fever pitch so consistently, which is because this fandom keeps putting out fic that makes me fall in love all over again, along with all the comics I've been reading and enjoying. I am so delighted by how I can bounce around various eras or characters (well, let's be fair, I still have a Dick Grayson Problem That I Am Making Your Problem Too) and there's so much to read that I'm having trouble keeping up!

Join me in having the best problem: Too much good fic to read, because I swear that even when I'm crying because fic has punched me in the feelings, I'm still having a great time and it's definitely not a trap to lure you all into crying with me. Well, unless you're into that. And, in that case, READ AND CRY AND/OR MELT INTO GOO WITH ME, BECAUSE FANDOM IS PROVIDING.

BATFAM FIC RECS - BABY DICK IS THE CUTEST FERAL ROBIN I'M NOT HEARING ANY ARGUMENTS: ✦ Step One: Learning to Catch by TheBlueMoo, dick & bruce, 2k “Okay, now extend your arms.” It was jarring, Bruce reflected, to be taking instructions from his nine-year-old ward. He was trying to think of it as receiving lessons from an expert gymnast instead, but it wasn’t really helping. or Dick freaks out during training one night, and Bruce isn't entirely sure why ✦ the quiet noise by orphan_account, dick & clark & jim (& bruce), 3.4k When Batman is in surgery after a stab wound to the lung, Commissioner Gordon sits with Robin at the hospital as they wait for someone from the league to arrive. ✦ The art of falling in the rain by Bob_the_bastard, dick & bruce & alfred, 3.4k Ordinarily it wouldn’t have been an issue, ordinarily Bruce would have taken a few steps back, caught his breath and continued on. But that night wasn’t normal. ✦ Our roots will not whither away by KrazySuperGirl, dick & bruce & alfred & cast, 6.4k Bruce and Dick return to Gotham. There are plenty of problems and plenty of good days. ✦ Will Protect You From All Around You by zombiesbecrazy, dick & bruce, 3k Bruce has always expected that one day he'll wake up and feel like a Real Adult, but it hasn't happened yet. Why had he thought that this parenting thing would be easy? ✦ Fly South by SonoSvegliato, dick & bruce & alfred, 1.9k Birds fly south in winter. Robin leaves in the summer. ✦ Vertigo by tinycrown, dick & bruce & ollie & cast, 1.8k After being ambushed by Count Vertigo's men, Batman's partner isn't doing so well. Green Arrow observes. ✦ Friends by mx_chrx99, dick & bruce & alfred, 2.3k The manor loomed large, surrounded by acres of manicured grass and trees bursting with autumnal colors that made Dick feel like he was gazing at a forest on fire. He was distantly aware that the scene in front of him was incredible, something out of a storybook. He should have been amazed and even grateful, but all he could think was, 'Mom would have loved this.' ✦ There For You by Val_Creative, dick & bruce & cast, 2.4k Snapshots of how Robin came to be Batman's trusted partner and how Dick became Bruce's beloved son. /Standalone. No pairings. ✦ tummy troubles by brandywine421, dick & bruce & alfred, 1.5k Bruce sat down on the edge of the bed and warily pulled back the covers. Dick blinked at him with wide, sad blue eyes. "What's wrong?" "Don't feel good," he murmured, scowling when Bruce curled his hand against his cheek. "My stomach hurts." ✦ Stay a Child by ijustwanttodestroy, dick & bruce & alfred, 2.2k “Redo it,” Bruce orders. “Aw, come on!” Dick dares to pout — a thing that he uses often, and would work on anyone but Bruce and Alfred. Sometimes. Bruce gives him a look. “I’m not going to do it for you.” “I’m going to misdo it until you do,” Dick threatens. ✦ Whole, but not hale by Fae_Winter, dick & bruce & alfred & clark, 1.5k Bruce was never listening to Clark again, damnit ✦ Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes by catboysam, dick & bruce, 1k Bruce wishes, as he has wished every minute of every day for nearly 20 years, that things were different for himself. But now he also wishes that for Dick. No child should have to experience what they have. But he really is selfish, it seems, because at the same time, how could he possibly want to give up a single second with this little miracle in his arms? ✦ yet to be friends by rxsecret, dick & bruce & clark & cast, 2.3k It's the annual Wayne Gala, and one of the few reporters allowed at the event just so happened to be from Metropolis. ✦ And I’ll look into your eyes to find out if I’m real by Fleur_de_Violette, bruce & dick, 1.6k Bruce wants a lot of things. A bath. Seeing his family. Not having been missing for a whole year. He wants Dick to wake up and realize he’s not a hallucination.

BATFAM FIC RECS - ADULT BATSON AND BATDAD ARE MY KRYPTONITE, I FOLD LIKE WET CARDBOARD FOR THEM: ✦ medicine by daringyounggrayson, dick & bruce, ~1k “We have to get out of here,” Dick says, trying and failing to sit up. “Before, before they get back.” “Dick, listen to me. You’re sick,” Bruce says, running a hand through Dick’s hair. “You’re in an isolation unit at the Watchtower’s medical bay.” Dick shakes his head. That can’t be right. “They’re trying to, to poison me.” ✦ Someday All Of This Will Go Away by WanderIntoFics, dick & bruce, alternate version character death, 2.3k Bruce never stopped telling Dick he loved him. It takes a heart-wrenching and terrifying experience with an alternate future Bruce for Dick to realize that maybe he stopped being able to hear it. ✦ vacation town by daringyounggrayson, dick & bruce, 1.6k Normally, Dick wouldn't enjoy recovering from a stab wound from a poisoned knife, but he has to admit, it's nice to be home. ✦ all i can by emavee, dick & bruce, 1.7k Whatever they injected Dick with is taking away his senses. Bruce tries to hold on for both of them. ✦ my arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm by emavee, dick & bruce, 5.6k wip Five times Dick held Bruce's hand, and one time Bruce held his. ✦ Moving on by Fleur_de_Violette, dick & bruce & cast, 2.7k When he’d been called to Gotham, Dick had expected to do the job and then get moving to the next thing, and then the next, and then the next. An abrupt meeting with the side of a building interrupts his plans.

BATFAM FIC RECS - EVERYBODY LOVES DICK: ✦ Chatterbox by Ptelea, bruce & dick & jason & tim & damian & donna & roy & cast, 24.7k "Yeah, I'm fine," Dick said. Then he frowned, because he had not just meant to say that. Or: Eight times that spells or serums affected Dick's ability to speak and / or their aftermath. ✦ Misremembered and Misnumbered by miss_aphelion, bruce & dick & jason & clark & diana, 1.9k Dick may not actually be quite as old as he told everyone he was. In his defense, it wasn't so much lying as that he sort of just forgot. ✦ WE'LL LIVE IN SPACES BETWEEN WALLS. by orpheusaki, bruce & dick & jason, time travel, 4.6k (Something is different about Dick. Bruce notices.) ✦ Tonight Will Be a Memory Too by Sohotthateveryonedied, dick & cass & bruce, 1.2k They don’t happen often—once a month or so, with varying degrees of spottiness. Sometimes Dick will walk into a room and forget what he’s there for. He’ll forget the locations of things, like where he left his keys or where the refrigerator is. Once he forgot his own name. Even if the episodes don’t occur often, that doesn’t make them any less terrifying. ✦ Can I Sleep With You? by Lady_of_Lorule, dick & bruce & damian & titans & cast, 2k “Dick? What is it? Are you okay?” he asked. “‘Had a nightmare,” the boy murmured, wiping at his nose quickly, then sending a darting look at Bruce. “Can I...can I sleep with you?” ✦ Broken Silence by Geeves, bruce & dick & cast, 1.3k Bruce reflects on how quiet the manor used to be. It could be painful at times, but it's not like that anymore. ✦ the care and keeping of your baby talon by quandaries_and_contradictions, dick & bruce & jason & tim & damian & duke & alfred, reverse robins, talon!dick, 6k In which everyone is more than a little cautious about the talon Duke brought home. Featuring chandelier swinging, Secret Garden reading, ill-advised sleuthing, and more. ✦ One, Two, Buckle My Shoe by Anonymous, bruce & dick & jason & tim & damian & alfred & cast, 11.3k wip Dick was twenty-eight. The boy in the mirror most certainly was not. ✦ Iron Bound by coyote_nebula, bruce & dick & jason, 3.1k Batman never ran out of solutions. He just ran out of ideal solutions. Nightwing finds himself in a tight spot involving a compact car-sized paper roll. ✦ The Mantle by ValleyOfKings, dick & clark & diana & justice league (& bruce) & cast, 2.9k Batman ‘dies’ and Dick must takes his place. He doesn't want the job but he knows that it is what he must do. He must accept the mantle and protect Gotham. The Justice League must also accept their new Batman. It might have helped if they knew that Batman didn't work as alone as they had once thought. ✦ Bravery, and everything that looks like it by Fleur_de_Violette, bruce & dick & steph, 3.4k Bruce had promised Dick a fun and chill weekend. Instead, they find themselves in the middle of a burning chemical facility. When he thinks everyone should have been evacuated, Nightwing finds a scientist trying to secure some sort of container. She’s either very brave, or she has a death wish.

BATFAM FIC RECS - JASON TODD IS AN ASSHOLE CAT, I'M GONNA THROW HIM AT DICK BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY (AND MAYBE SOME OF HIS OTHER SIBLINGS TOO): ✦ Superhero: Dick Grayson by batmoniker, dick & jason & cast, 5.3k In which Dick shows up at the school to pick Jason up after he gets into a fight. ✦ Homecoming by sElkieNight60, dick & jason & bruce, 1.2k Jason's doped up on pain-meds. Dick's holding his hand while he's bedside monitor. Bruce probably wishes he had a camera. ✦ I do not have wings love (I never will) by dizarys, dick & jason & bruce, 2.5k Jason Todd was alive. He was also bleeding out on Dick Grayson’s apartment floor. How 'Under the Red Hood' might have ended if Dick was at Bruce and Jason's final warehouse confrontation.

BATFAM FIC RECS - BATKIDS ALL HAVE MANY SIBLINGS AND THEY'RE ALL PETTY ASSHOLES AND/OR WONDERFUL BABIES AND I LOVE THEM WITH MY WHOLE BEING: ✦ cashmere-soft and irresistible by victoria_p (musesfool), cass/steph, ~1k Cass and Steph and dumplings and lipstick. ✦ Picking Up Pieces by Cephalogod, bruce & steph & dick, 4k “Bruce!” Steph called as she approached, weaving between people. His head snapped towards her, and the stark relief in his expression almost stopped her in her tracks. That was just...wrong. Bruce wasn’t supposed to be relieved to see her. He was supposed to be annoyed or resignedly amused, not looking at her like a life raft in the ocean. ✦ Make an Ass of U and Me by Huntress79, Sevidri, bruce/clark & dick, 11.2k Bruce neglects to explain exactly who the attractive young man that seems to know him so well is, and what their relationship entails. Naturally, there are some misunderstandings. ✦ Presque Vu by PechoraFlow, bruce & dick & jason & tim & damian & cass & steph & alfred & cast, 17.4k wip Bruce gets amnesia and the Batfamily conspires to keep their vigilante side secret from him. They were just trying to keep him home, safe until he recovered. They expected that Bruce would pick up on clues and put together The Batman secret on his own. They didn't expect him to form a different picture entirely. They didn't expect Bruce Wayne would come to hate the Batman.

BATFAM FIC RECS - I CUT MY TEETH ON DICK & TIM AS CLOSE BROTHERS AND NO ONE WILL NOT TAKE IT FROM ME: ✦ spread your wings by wingedgrace, dick & tim, 2.1k “Why did you give Robin to Damian?” Dick pinched his nose. He’d started to pick up some of Batman’s habits, whether he realized it or not. “Tim, we’re not talking about this again. We’re talking about how you’re off on this… quest, to prove that Bruce is still alive. And I just want to talk. Come home.” ✦ Time Loop vs Ethiopia by AJElementus, dick & tim (& bruce & jason), 9.1k In one universe, Jason died while Dick was on a space mission with the Titans. In another? There’s a time loop. In which Jason doesn’t die, Tim joins the family early, and Dick... well... Dick's just trying to figure out what's going on! ✦ so won't you stay, won't you stay (with me?) by dizarys, dick & tim, 1.3k Tim's having a hard night. So where else does he go but to his big brother's apartment? ✦ under the wing by acrobats, dick & tim & cast, 1.4k “Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.” – Marc Brown

BATFAM FIC RECS - I WILL DIE ON THE HILL THAT TIM DRAKE'S TRUE LOVE INTEREST IS CONNER KENT AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME, NOT EVEN GOD: ✦ buy back the secrets by sundiscus, tim/kon & bruce & clark & jason & cast, 71k wip He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.” Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy. ✦ Can't Shake the Feeling by Hayleythewriter, tim/kon & tim/bernard & cassie & bart & dick & damian & cast, 17k Tim introduces his boyfriend to his friends. Almost everyone likes him. ✦ The Electric Pull of Spring by Merelymine, tim/kon, nsfw, 4.3k "I feel fine," Kon says, breathing deeply. He leans towards Tim and takes an even deeper, longer breath. "I feel really, really good, actually. And you smell—you smell really good." ✦ A No Good Very Bad Day by mademoisellePlume, tim/kon & jason & lois, read the tags, 3.7k You’d think drugging a half-Kryptonian into sleep would be half as easy as taking a full Kryptonian out of commission. But no, life couldn’t be that simple for Jason, could it? He watched Superboy stumble down the hallway in his pyjama pants, eyes half-lidded and sweating like Two-Face when a flipped coin balanced on its edge. ✦ Pandora's Other Box by FridaysChild, tim/kon & dick & bart & kate & ma kent, 2.5k Prompt: "Kon and Tim identify as straight. After realising their mutual attraction, they both freak out in different ways."

BATFAM FIC RECS - I SAY THIS IS A BATFAM REC LIST BUT SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA SHOVE THOSE ASSHOLES OUT OF THE WAY AND READ SOME SUPERFIC: ✦ Adoptions by Kannika, clark & conner & cast, 2.7k Clark prepared for a lot of things, getting closer to Conner. This is not one of them. ✦ Aftershock by sElkieNight60, clark/lois & conner & jon, 13k wip He knows this is awkward for Clark. It’s awkward for them both. They were gonna start slow. Warm up to each other. Maybe go apple-picking in the summer. A movie, a restaurant, bowling, or something. But a sleepover, really? That wasn’t going slow. ✦ IS IT JUST YOU AND ME IN THE WRECKAGE OF THE WORLD? by orpheusaki, clark & conner & bruce & diana & jason & cast, 2.2k "You look happy, Kal." She's right, Clark is overjoyed. In between shopping for children's clothes with Lois (after she'd gotten over the shock of it all, which was surprisingly quick. Clark thinks Lois might prefer Conner to him now, not that he blames her for it) and wandering around the Fortress of Solitude with a small palm tucked into his own, Clark hasn't stopped grinning, "Superman is no longer the only Kryptonian alive." (Clark saves Conner from CADMUS as a child AU.)

BATFAM FIC RECS - TAKE THE ANGST DIAL, TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN, AND BREAK THE KNOB OFF, THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR: ✦ oh but if I could choose, I would choose not to feel by dizarys, bruce & dick & donna & cast, 1.4k His eyes flicked over the long room, evaluating and searching. When he finally spotted him, Bruce’s heart plummeted. Dick Grayson was slouched at the crumb flecked bar counter, staring blankly into a barely touched pint with a hand twisted in his hair. Misery personified. ✦ batman by hellsreluctantheir, dick & jason & tim & bruce, 57.3k Dick came back from a trip to space to a dead father figure, a grieving, guilty little brother, and a legacy waiting for him. Suddenly he's moving back to Gotham, playing Bat, trying to keep Jason from spiraling, trying to keep himself from spiraling, with the added bonus of a kid stalking him at the grocery store. It takes two years before things start to feel like they're getting better. Which is right about when the Red Hood comes to town. ✦ Day 3 - Nightmares (2.2) by fanfictiongreenirises, bruce & dick & tim, 3.3k Bruce is resigned to the nightmares after their most recent kidnapping. But that doesn't mean they don't have an impact on him. ✦ My Brother's Keeper by Chemical_Processes, dick & damian & tim & cast, 6.2k Tim gets hit with Fear while on a league mission, and it's Damian's job to get him home in one piece. ✦ Pale Reflections by BearlyWriting, bruce & dick & jason & tim & cast, 2.6k ‘Bruce blinks again. A chill breeze brushes against him, searching for a way through his uniform. Concrete, Bruce tells himself, it’s concrete, not sand. It’s water, not blood. It’s Dick. And yet, he’s as still as Jason was then, as lifeless. Bruce moves without thinking. He isn’t thinking.
