I'm currently riding a joy high since @br41nr0t-101 drew fanart of Crescent (Batman + Moondrop from my Batfam au), so here's Crescent's faithful sidekick/brother...

Moonlet (<- Name literally translates to Mini-Moon���)

His colors are the same as Lunar's but with a lot more gold and white tossed in. (I seriously need to start coloring these guys in)

-Next characters up are Earth/Batgirl, Monty/Red Hood, and Sun/Nightwing

TSAMS X BATFAM AU!

Moondrop A.K.A Crescent

(Moon + Batman)

Sorry for the bad lightning and if the camera angles are poo worthy but anyways he's Crescent's design I drew up a few months back.

-weapons of choice Star/Moon-a-rangs (Basically star and moon shaped batarangs) and bell bombs, the bells that are actually bombs.

-Has loose tassles that he used to swing with like they're a grappling hook.

-Cape lightweight yet durable and can be used to glide (Makes a crescent moon shape when in glide mode)

-His gloves are made of a durable plastic/metal hybrid that can take a few hits and still protect everything inside, plus they have a built-in moon-a-rang gun that fires moon/star-a-rangs in a pinch

-Colors of the suit would be dark blue, gold, and purple, with some grey thrown in there to for good measure.

I will make designs for everyone else. That might take a bit, though. See you then, and I hope you all had a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ✝️ and a happy holidays, too.

The Story behind my Batfam x TSAMS Au!

The Birth of Cresent

Moondrop or 'Wane Moon' (<-The alias he took once he left the Sven's side)

Was built to be the son/apprentice to the mysterious Owlghul, a fearsome criminal mastermind who wished to quote on quote 'Fix the world' Owlghul built Moon with the specific purpose of being the bringer of his not-so righteous fury. Moon was trained in all forms of combat, battle tactics, escape, detective skills, and many other skills. Moon was the ultimate killing machine and was ready to fix the world. However, he had just ONE flaw... He didn't like to kill. Which is a problem when your sole purpose is to kill all who stand in your masters way of peace.

At first, Moon blamed his brother/other half Sunrise, the more calmer, the gentle side of Moon that Moon despised, but over time, Moon came to realize it wasn't a problem with Sun it was himself. Something in HIMSELF just wouldn't let him kill. Moon began to dig deep in himself (literally) and realized it wasn't a flaw in his code, but in his morals, something just didn't feel right about killing... or Owlghul's plan. After some digging, Moon discovered the horrific truth... Owlghul wasn't plotting to 'Fix the world' he was plotting to destroy it! Burn it all down and replace it with one in his image!

Moon and Sun, of course, were against this, but they had to play it smart so as not to let the Creator know their plan to stop him. Unfortunately, he learned about their plan to stop him. A great battle issued and in the fight Moon mortally wounded Creator nearly killing him, he almost did, but Sun thankfully (or unthankfully) stopped him. Moon and Sun destroyed Owl's lab and escaped, feeling into the night and starting new lives in completely different town countries away.

Sun and Moon stayed in hiding for years till something in Moon kept poking at him, telling him to go out and actually help people the right way, unlike how Owlghul had them 'helping' people. Moon tried to fight against this sense, but at the end of the day he decided to give in and become the hero he was always meant to be.

Crescent, the watchful guardian, the Crescent crusader, the moonlight vigilant, the true dark knight!

I've also noticed people tagging Duke & him just straight up not being in the fic/post it's so annoying! Anyway I have a "couple" recs

Duke Thomas and His Magical Magical Sunshine Hugs by the_dreary_fandom_whore

“Do I…really hug you guys that much?” “The amount of hugs you give in only a day is insurmountable.” So here’s the thing. Duke Thomas is a cuddler. He’s not a cuddler like Stephanie who pounces on people at impromptu times with her overexcited affections and extreme strength. He does not hug or cuddle like Dick who only knows how to wrap people up in extravagant and impactful hugs that drain every bit of breath from their lungs and makes them feel happy for as long as they last. No, Duke’s hugs are gentle and caring and magical.

Fic isn't really from Duke's perspective but it is nice to see Duke from everyone else's perspective. Kinda leans into the sweetheart Duke thing.

How to be Brothers with the Family Cryptid - a guide by Duke Thomas by sunlitlemonade

A series of fics that follow Duke and Jason as they become brothers.

A series of three oneshots, mainly from Duke's perspective. Very sweet to see Duke having a healthy relationship with Jason.

the early robin gets the worm by deargalileo

bruce loves all of his children equally. its just when he has to wake them up, that there's an issue. aka; the five times bruce tries to wake up his kids, and the one time that he doesn't.

Duke is part 3, it's short but sweet but I like it.

Can I sleep with you tonight? by LiaVid0921

Bruce thought he had grown out of hearing those words. He forget that he had a few more kids still in the nest.

Duke & Damian get scared & cuddle up to Bruce. So cute & sweet

Moth to a Flame by professorwho26

Duke and Damian are experimenting with Duke's light powers when they run into (literally) a curious person. Could it be love at first light? I'm so sorry for that pun. This fic was inspired by this post: POST

A fic from the one time when people started shipping Duke with a moth cause he glows. Genuinely pretty sweet

signal, n. a divine act by britishparty

The halo gets brighter the more people that Duke saves. He’s pretty sure that’s how it works, at least. He inherited it from his mother the day the doctors suggested it as a possibility: we may not be able to help them, Mr. Thomas. Duke doesn’t know what he is. He doesn’t feel like an angel; he has no divine purpose, no holy weapons, nothing but this stubborn light. But he looks at Robin and some part of him thinks I could do that, too and the halo, deep in his blood, sings. - or: an AU concept in which Duke's powers stem from the 10th metal: pure celestial possibility. he inherits a halo that has its own idea of Good and Evil.

I like the writing of this fic it's all poetic & stuff.

It All Started On A Cold Winter Morning by Varmint

When he had first opened his door up on the cold morning, he certainly had not been expecting a blast from the past; much less had he expected to find himself wrapped up into the familial drama of a bunch of people he had no real ties to half a country away. He wasn't about to lie to himself, though. It was real nice being around a big family again; no matter how many arguments broke out between them. Or. That story in which events are set into motion unexpectedly and when the Batfamily figures out about Bruce's budding feelings for a handsome cowboy, they force everything into high-gear.

Not technically Duke-centric but he is the main focus of the first chapter. Also it isn't complete & a rare pair of Bruce x Greg Saunders, actually really cool.

you can ebb and i can flow by konan_konan for Pseudonymous_Elusa

“What’s your name?” "Batman," he startles when Duke laughs louder than he really meant to. “What kind of a name is that?” he giggles, wiping a stray tear from his eye. "Isn't that an animal?" or: bruce saves a helpless merman and gets bullied relentlessly for it. Batfamily Week Day 5: KING’S GUARD Fantasy AU | Friendship/Team Bonding | “There’s more of you?!”

Mermaid!Duke ends up Kidnapped and Batman comes to help him. It's a sweet hurt-comfort with some superbat on the side.

Duke Thomas VS The "Good Child" Stereotype by PepperSoniRoni

5 Times Duke Tried To Prove To Bruce He Wasn't The Responsible One, and 1 Time His Siblings Knew Better (& used it to their advantage) Because Duke is relatively new, he hasn't opened up completely to the family. He tries to follow Bruce and Alfred's rules, but he doesn't always succeed (nor try to). It's during these times Bruce still manages to pin the blame on someone else. His siblings, of course, see this. And whatever are they supposed to think? Well, Duke's clearly doing it on purpose! (This is really just me being salty about fanon characterization, and an attempt to cram as much Crazy-Totally-Not-Sane-Duke as I can into a single fic)

Really funny fic of Duke pulling the most outrages of pranks. Actually kinda made me smad at the end cause Bruce never did fully believing Duke.

signaling home by jcp_sob_rjl_lmep

Quietly, he trudged towards the main Cave, keeping alert. At a sudden noise, his hand twitched towards his kama, but it was just a bat screeching far above. As he reached the main area, he slowed, tucking himself behind a convenient stalagmite. Three figures stood in the desolation of the Batcave - Duke was still fairly far away, but he could still recognize his older brothers. Jason stood farther away from the duo of Dick and Tim, twirling a gun around one finger. Dick’s arms were crossed, and he was looking down to talk to Tim, who was crouched to look at something on the ground. A pebble shifted under Duke’s foot, and he looked away for a second. When he looked back, all three heads had shifted unerringly in his direction. Well, fuck.

A funny little oneshot of Duke dimension hopping, it's weird & funny & Duke is having a... time.

Yellowman by unstablequeerbitch

Basically Duke scares people because he fights during the day in gotham. that isnt normal

Duke's day time wandering scares the shit out of people, funny short one.

As you can tell I was very anxious for someone to ask for Duke Thomas recs. He is our sunshine boy & he deserves to be appreciated.

Absolutely wild to me how people will write Duke out of stories and give bits of his character to other members of the Batfamily. I've seen this happen the MOST with Tim. And it's not a crime to write a fic without Duke in it— not every piece of writing needs every member of the Batfamily in it— but come on. Sometimes it's so painfully obvious that authors are only excluding him.

Anyways <3 please comment or reblog with your favorite Duke Thomas fics so I can kiss you
