Dpx Dc AU: Ectoplasm is required for Ghosts to be visible to the human eye- And Danny creates his own ectoplasm.
Danny is visiting Jazz in Gotham and its weird how friendly everyone is. Like, the city gets a really bad rapport, everywhere he goes there is someone trying to strike up a conversation or answer his questions about getting around to the tourist spots. A few people even pointed out restaurants and ways to find off the beaten path gems! Jazz seems to role her eyes at him, but when he brings up her 'roommate' being kind of cute she flat out laughs.
Danny then comes to understand the Jazz doesn't have a roommate and that Ghosts in Gotham don't move far from their haunts- He's just been inadvertently turning these undead folks visible by accident of generating abnormal amounts of ectoplasm.
Which, is comforting in a way, he's never walking this dangerous city alone and really, most of the ghosts have been really friendly! They disappear once he's a few blocks away from them anyway.
---
Tim Drake is having a horrible day.
He'd been given intel that one of Black Mask's guys was going to snitch but that he'd died before given the opportunity to reach out to the GCPD. He tracks down the guy's last know whereabouts and yikes. Its next to the Theater. Tim was often grateful for his childhood obsessions, this time it backfired.
Tim and Bruce get into an argument about trust and respect and, worst of all, mental health. And even though Tim was vehemently against Batman accompanying Red Robin to the alleyway - that's exactly what happens.
They arrive and Bruce is closing up faster than a clam in the contaminated Gotham Bay- Clearly being in the Alley bothers him. No fucking shit. RR gets started on collecting evidence, there are a few extra blood splatters and a single left shoe... When a kid walks into the Alley.
"Uh, sorry to intrude-" The kid looks scared shitless, and runs away. And then, all of a sudden, Batman and Robin aren't alone in the Alley.
Tim can hardly believe his eyes as the dead man appears and quickly blabs Black Mask's bank passwords and what the plan had been- and While he's over joyed to have that closure, he turns around to Batman weeping in the arms of his parents.
The ghosts fade, and the emotions are certainly charged as this was never something Bruce or Tim would have ever dreamed of happening. Ghosts in Gotham. Talking, floating, granting closure.
"RR, Bats, come in." Oracle calls into their ears.
"Reporting in, but, uh, we need a minute."
"A minute? We have a case on 4th and-"
"O, we just saw the ghosts of the Waynes. It's going to be a minute."
"...Lots of Ghost reports lately then. Any chance you saw a kid looking like he could be adopted?"
"Yeah, actually, black hair and blue eyes. He was super polite before he ran away."
"We have work to do. Oracle, lets prioritize finding our person of interest and divert Nightwing and Robin to the case on 4th." Batman cut between them on the comms and he sounded... calmer than either of them anticipated.
---
Jazz is no longer laughing when Batman appears at her door explaining that he's looking for Danny (Who already flew away from town to get a good night's sleep before class on Monday). Turns out Danny reunited the man with his dead parents just briefly- and then the second guy appears and mentions how Danny had also given a guy who'd been murdered by a Mob enough time to explain the ongoing threats the city faced.
Jazz just rolls her eyes and says that it's not like the ghosts are going anywhere anytime soon and Danny will visit in another month. When pressed, she just explains that her brother is a weirdo. No of course he doesn't have powers. Gaslight and Girlbosses her way out.
And Jazz thinks that the game is up for at least another month, obviously when Danny visits more shit will stir up, but then this new guy appears.
Unlike the other Bats who are keen on watching her from a distance, the Red Hood knocks on her door. Are her eyebrows all the way into her hairline when Red Hood asks her to send his thanks along to Danny because somehow this whole situation led to his Dad expressing remorse for his actions and apologizing? Yes, yes they are.
But Jazz can smell Dissertation Data off of these vigilantes- Who is she to send them away? Jazz welcomes Red Hood into her place for a cup of tea and a small chat.
The story then devolves into Jazz getting shit done, Danny being cute by proximity and also bringing ghosts to the party, and the Bats having trauma resolve between them.

You know what I need everytime Tim or Dick lie no one catches them. Not Kon not Bruce no one.
They could say the sky is fucking purple and immediately they assume it is and god forbid they check, Oh my eyes are deceiving me.
I need Tim to walk up to Bruce say some out of pocket bullshit and across the room Dick just looks up.
The only ones who can clock each others shit is each other.
Sometimes they make a game of it they gaslight Jason so hard he thinks there's another Robin named Nibor.
Brotherly bonding by making everyone else confused and slightly terrified.
The thing is no one will ever find out no one understands their tells. They both have there own ways of making everything sound like the gods honest truth.
Nevermind the brotherly comfort or angst where someone ask if they are ok and when the I'm fine is said They know to do a bat sucide watch.
Just think big bird and baby bird gaslight gatekeep girlbossing their way to victory.

How To Balance Your Daytime and Nighttime Activities So That You Don't Burn Yourself Out More Than You Already Have
Batman has an insane patrol schedule. Danny knew this, somewhere in the back of his mind, but it was only just settling in for him.
"You're gonna be dead tired tomorrow," he warns Dick, "You were tired for only being out for two hours longer than your new normal, going from sunset to sunrise is gonna knock you out. I can't drive, Dick, so we'll be stuck in Gotham for another day if you pass out."
Dick patted his head with a smile. "I'll be fine. I'll vene bring ya back some Bat Burger, okay?"
Danny blinked. "Bat Burger?"
"You've- You've never had Bat Burger?" Louder, he called to Barbra and Tim who'd just come back from wherever the Cave entrance is with a comm for Danny, "Danny's never had Bat Burger!"
Barbra gasped dramatically. Tim clutched ay imaginary pearls. "You've never had Bat Burger?!"
"That sounds like an exclusively Gotham thing, and I am decidedly not from Gotham."
It was quiet for another moment as the three stared at him. Finally, Dick blinked. "Have you always been Midwestern?"
"As far as I know, why?"
His head tilted slightly to the left. "Your accent just seems..."
"Much more prevalent." Tim finished.
"Yeah, that."
“I don’t know what you guys are talking about. I’ve always talked like this.” A lie. He was hiding his accent from everyone so that tracking him down would be ever so slightly harder. Danny shrugged, “Right, Barbra?”
She shook her head. "No, you leave me outta this. As far as I know, you've sounded like this the whole time and these two are only just picking up on the accent."
Good job, Danny. Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss your way into their hearts.
"Anyway," Barbra continued, holding her hand to Danny, "This is a comm. It'll keep you patched in until we come back up to the manor after patrol. If you get tired of us or when you sleep, just take it out and put it on your nightstand; we'll take it back down in the morning for you."
"Are you sure you don't wanna come to the Cave?" Tim asked.
Danny shook his head, the comm now sitting in his left ear. "Mister Wayne already hates me, I'm not gonna go into his space. Besides, I'm already intruding as it is."
"I just don't want you to be bored."
"It's alright, I'm sure I'll find something to occupy myself with while you guys are out. And, isn't the whole point of me being on comms so that you guys can talk to me?"
"You're right," Dick agreed, "We'll see ya when we get back."
"Alright."
Occupy himself with? Yeah, he's going back to Bludhaven. Another problem he just realized, though: How is Bat Tech going to react to/around Phantom? Danny figures he has about two minutes to figure it out or he's gonna have to bench himself for the night.
There was no one around, so he ducked into the nearest room to transform. It was a quick lightshow, as always, but not enough to draw attention of anyone passing by.
Except Alfred. Alfred probably knows.
Alfred won't tell Bruce, right?
Right?
Probably not.
Hopefully.
Focusing on the comm revealed no static, though there was no sound either. Was someone trying to talk to him already? Hopefully not. That'd be upsetting.
There was a soft crackle before: "Danny, can you hear us?"
Phantom allowed a small smile of victory. "Yeah, loud and clear, Barbra."
"Call me Batgirl right now, okay? Tim's Robin, and, as you know, Dick's Nightwing. And, if you really need him, Bruce is Batman."
"Got it."
"We don't use real names on comms," Robin said, "Do you have something we could call you?"
That's probably a fish for what his hero name used to be. All three of them - Tim, at the very least - were hung up on the 'not anymore' of his denial and it really showed. He could make it easy and tell them to call him Phantom, but he really does not want them finding out his childhood right now. So, "Tutelary."
"'Tutelary'?" Nightwing asked.
"It's Greek," Batgirl said, "Tutelaries are deities or patrons of protection."
"Aw, that's cute," Robin cooed teasingly, "But you aren't doing much protecting from the Manor."
Phantom - is he really ready to give up that name? - blushed green, "Shut up. Protection Spirits are a big deal where I'm from!" Yeah, meaning most people don't actually think they're protecting them, but who really cares about technicalities?
"And that would be..?" Batman spoke up, his voice coming out much more 'gargle glass' over the comms than was probably intended.
Phantom smirked. "The Midwest." Limits options, but not specifically but he figured he could throw them a bone. Though, that's the only one he's giving Mister Wayne.
Speaking of, "I'll try not to be a distraction, Mister Batman sir, but I won't make any promises."
Nightwing, Batgirl and Robin were all sniggering. Batman was quiet for no more than a few seconds. "Stop getting distracted; We're leaving."
"Yes, sir!"
Phantom listened closely, focusing on the Cave below the Manor. Batman and Robin had gotten into some kind of assault vehicle-race car mix and were driving out into Gotham Proper quickly. Nightwing and Batgirl were both on motorcycles, leaving out a different way but just as quickly.
"Have fun out there, you guys."
Nightwing laughed, "We'll bring ya back some Bat Burger."
Part 15 Part 17
Real quick, before you move on, a quick Thank You to @bianca-hooks123 for the idea for Danny's name Tutelary. I hadn't even thought of using that until it was suggested, so thanks <3

A idea- Jason and Damian
I feel like Jason would have a soft spot for Damian like after Damian is scolded Jason cuddles and comforts him and they both try to hide it from everyone so only they know.
Before galas Jason would fix Damians suit and start listing put advice on how to avoid annoying people, sneak off and to mess with people or sometimes during patrol Jason would slide Damian more food (at this point he has a snack pocket that Damian is constantly checking whenever their alone. People just see Robin digging in RedHoods pocket like a child trying to steal candy) Damian would watch out for Jason by checking on him after patrol using his own bugs he left on Jason (Jason definitely knows about them) or Damian buys him better items like weapons, medical supplies or clothes and Jason would read Damian books almost every night (or when he's free)
They both would rather die then let any of the other bats know about it. (They do it in front of Tim just to mess with him)
---
Jason: I love you little brother give me a hug
Damian: Jason...Big brother!
*hugs*
Tim: ...OKAY WHAT THE FUC-
*later*
Tim: Dick I'm telling the truth they were cuddling, cuddling!
Dick: sshh, shh it's okay your big brother is here, let's go get you to bed-
Tim: God damnit I'm not sleep deprived I saw it!
----
I love the idea of Jason and Damian just gaslighting Tim. (Both learned how to gaslight people by Talia)

For the ask game, Jason/Tim where the Pit makes Jason possessive rather than mad and so he imprints on Tim as being his and needing to take him and make him fully his, turn Tim into Jason's own creature? I think that could be a cool idea, since the Pit has different effects on different people.
for the ask game!
oooh, i love explorations of what the Pit does to the psyche, especially if it falls outside of the typical Pit Madness schtick. here's how i would try and write that
so what i think is fun about Jason and the Pit is, he wasn't *dead* when he got dunked, he was just mentally catatonic. dunking him in the Pit was a gamble on Talia's part and Ra's even points out in Red Hood: Lost Days it may not work. so to have it work but just... wire Jason *differently* is a lot of fun to me. i like the idea of Jason being a bit aimless after the Pit. he's got his wits to him but it's still the "came back wrong" vibes. and when Talia shows him the pictures of Tim as Robin, trying to show him that Bruce replaced him, it has the opposite effect. Jason's wires are crossed in all sorts of directions and all he can think of is he won't let what happened to him happen to another kid. so he spirals, looking into Tim and getting more and more obsessed. what starts as a genuine concern for Tim's safety becomes a possessive imprinting. Tim becoming Jason's purpose.
one of the defining things about Jason's feelings on Tim, in canon, is feeling like Tim is being held back by his loyalty to Bruce. so, i don't know how literal you meant creature, but i'm taking it balls to the walls bc i like fucked up monster vibes. the *how* is the fun part of it. it's easy for Jason to corner Tim, kidnap him. but how does Jason decide to corrupt Tim? i know the Court of Owls is a New-52 thing and i'm going off of pre-Flashpointt, but, i think it'd be fun to steal it. just because well. i really fucking like Talons. and Jason making Tim a Talon would be a twofold thing- for one, it protects Tim. it's a lot harder to kill a Talon than a person. and for two, it makes Tim easier to control. i think Tim would fight it hard, but the Talon programming combined with Jason's fierce protectiveness would snap him pretty easily.
Jason would be smart about it. he'd keep Tim locked up for at least a few months. because if Robin goes missing, then the calvary is going to start looking for him. Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Oracle, Huntress, the Titans, everyone. and Jason knows even if he puts a mask on Tim, he needs to wait. needs to let the smoke blow over. so for months, it's just Jason and Tim somewhere underground where no one can find them. that's where the bulk of their bonding comes in. because i do think Jason would want Tim to *genuinely* like him outside of just monsterous programming. Jason would work to earn that trust, even if it's through manipulation. tbh i think he'd lie to Tim, either gaslighting Tim about his loved ones not looking for him, or straight up tell Tim he's imagining having been Robin. anything that deconstructs Tim's idea of a support system outside of Jason. Jason is Tim's savior, in his eyes, and he'd want Tim to believe that too. that Jason had to protect Tim, from the Bat. very fucked up vibes.
once Jason's sure it's safe, he'd slowly start making his presence known as Red Hood, with Tim by his side. Jason would still want to do the whole Red Hood thing, but now, he has the ability to taunt Bruce about Tim. it'd be a fun mind game for Jason, telling Bruce that he lost *another* Robin. (three, if you count Steph) meanwhile, Jason gets to go home to Tim the whole time. it's a fun game to him, while also making him preen that he's protecting what he believes belongs to him.
eventually, the truth would come out. but by then, Tim's too deep in Jason's pocket to listen to anyone, even Dick. he'd lash out at anyone claiming Jason is manipulating him, and he'd be Jason's perfect little partner. very fucked up ending where Jason and Tim are "happy" together, but in the most fucked up way. i'd give Tim a new codename, something like Shrike because that sounds fun and pointy. they'd almost be a Batman and Robin parallel/foil, in a way.
also, just as a bonus alternative: another route i think you could take this idea is playing with Joker Junior. like, Jason imprinting on Tim *just* as Joker kidnaps Tim. so that's what sets Jason's plans into action, he was going to wait for the perfect moment but now, Tim is missing and Jason will be *damned* if someone gets to Tim first. and since Jason has well. firsthand experience with the Joker, he's able to find Tim first and since Tim is so mentally shattered at this point, it makes him easy to manipulate. easy to get him to traumabond onto the person who saved him and even once he's mentally recovered, he's so attached to Jason he wouldn't want to leave Jason. and maybe Jason would use Lazarus Resin or something similar to make Tim more creature-like, and even get Tim to agree to it, under the guise of it helping protect Tim. this route could be fun bc it plays more with just how "consensual" it is for Tim and how much he really has his wits about him, choosing Jason after being brainwashed.

5 Tim Drake-centric Must Reads
I like Tim Drake-centric fanfictions for two main reasons, although Dick Grayson is actually my favourite Robin. Firstly, Tim reminds me a lot of Peter Parker (a genius, photographer, teenage superhero with a billionaire superhero mentor who is also a father-figure to them), who is probably my favourite superhero of all time. Secondly, the big thing I love about the Batman fandom is the Bat Family (aka BatFam). I adore the sibling relationship between the characters, always just want to them be close brothers/sisters. That is why my Batman fic recommendations are Tim Drake-centric. Because during and after Tim's time as Robin we have a larger BatFam. It's the family element.

Summary:

Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?
Language: English Words: 24,696 Chapters: 5/5
Yuki Note:
If you only ever read two Batman fanfictions, then let this be the second one (The Long Way Home being the first). This is an excellent representation of gaslighting, manipulation and mental and emotional child abuse (by Jack Drake to Tim Drake) and how it can effect an adolescent child. This is such a brilliant fanfiction – highly recommended!

Summary:
With Jason tentatively back in the Batfamily, things are going pretty well for him--except for the whole thing with Tim. But who gives a shit about Tim Drake?
But when Jason and Tim are pulled into a frightening race for their lives inside a labyrinth that's out to kill them, they may have to look past their differences just to stay alive. Maybe along the way, they'll discover they aren't as different as they thought, and family comes in many different forms.

Yuki Note:
This is one of the best fanfictions I have ever read. This is written so well that it could be a published novel. However, before reading this please be aware of the horror elements throughout the story as well as the canon typical injuries, near death experiences and past mentioned child abuse in here (not by Bruce). If you only ever read one Batman fanfiction, then let it be this one.

There is also a sequel fic in the works. Recommended!

His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.
or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist. But it seems they just won't leave him alone..
Language: English Words: 69,788 Chapters: 30/30
Yuki Note:
This has been on a lot of BatFam rec lists lately and for good reason! This is a fantastic read, a very fun and smart idea of how Tim could join the BatFam late. I really like that this Tim is a bit more down and out whilst still remaining quintessentially him (I just think it’s great that he and Jason and Steph have more to relate to one another to). I am here for all the sibling content so I love this! Highly recommended!
OK. I am disabled and am becoming very fatigued so I’m only going to recommend one more in this post, however I have a full list of 72 Batman fandom recommendations on my AO3 account here. (Please note that three of these are JayTim, however that is under the caveat that they are set in AUs where they were never adopted brothers and are great fanfictions.)

Yuki Note (from original bookmark):
I was hesitant when I went into this story, mostly because of the gender change for Tim/Timi. I am not against gender changes in stories but I find they need a point, a purpose, a reason for the change. But there is a point to Timi being a woman in this story, as it deals with the challenges, discrimination and sexism that she has to deal with in the corporate and hero world.
I really enjoyed the corporate storyline since few stories actually deal with Timi's work and the challenges therein. The family storyline is great too and I love how everything comes to a head and forces Bruce and Dick to face their failures and finally, finally do something about them. Highly recommended!
P.S. Don't worry about the Pre-Jason/Tim tag on this story. There is literally no Jason/Tim at all, in fact they don't even interact any more than Tim interacts with Cass, Steph or Dick. This is 100% Jason&Tim, a close sibling bond.
Trigger Warning: This is presently not tagged on the story but should be. It is mentioned that a minor recurring character commits suicide in the story. You don't see it, it is only mentioned. To those who find suicide triggering, be aware of this.
Enjoy! And feel free to explore my full AO3 rec list here.

Asking the Batfam "How would you describe yourself?"
Batman: I am vengance- I am the night- I am Batman!
Bruce: A very tired father of I can’t even count how many
Brucie: I’m all your’s for the evening
Nightwing: Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss
Oracle: Better than you
Black Bat: *vague look that leaves you both confused and terrified* Red Hood: I make jokes about my own death. Take that as you will. Red Robin: A narcissist with depression. I have a God complex, think I'm better then everyone, and am just a tad bit power hungry, but I also severly hate myself and despise my own existance.
Spoiler: Indescribable *finger guns* Signal: I now live in a permanent state of confusion
Robin: Why are you asking me these imbecilic questions when we should be discussing the rates at which many species are going extinct

*drumming on table* tell us more about tiger!Jason and fox!Tim (Todd also is derived from the word for fox! Take this how you will)
heheheheh
ask and you shall receive::p
So Jason is, obviously, trans. No one connects the dots between large 6'4 tank criminal and tiny Robin who died years ago.
Dick sees the picture of the feline al-ghuls, and thinks the tiger is Dusan. Damian corrects him, tells him it's Jason Al-Ghul, his older brother. One of my favourite headcanons is Talia gaslighting everyone into thinking Jay is her bio-kid lmao.
Jason wants to test out against the new Robin, he wants to see if he has the skills to wear the colours, like in canon, not wanting to kill him but still. Tim isn't afraid at all, spits blood in his face, and Jason leaves slightly jealous of this new Robin. This doesn't happen at Titans Tower, because Jay didn't want to compromise his identity.
Tim, who sort of knew Jason before he died, knows his identity.
But he doesn't tell Bruce. Or Dick, for that matter.
Firstly, it'd mean outing someone. He ain't that big an asshole.
Secondly, he doubts they'd believe him.
Instead, he wants to figure out what Jason's plans are, and what he's doing in Gotham.
Jason wants to protect the Alley, he wants Bruce to kill Joker, and he wants to clean up the city. He's sad, he's angry and he's protective, and conflicted. He knows, that Bruce won't kill Joker. If Bruce even recognises him.
A part of him doesn't want Bruce to know it's him, a part of him wants to take this second chance at life and stay with his family who loves him (the al-ghuls) and protect his cub-brother like he promised.
But Gotham is in his blood. he will always come back. So he decides to clean the city as much as he possibly can.
First on the menu though? is killing joker. he makes it quick, even though the asshole doesn't deserve it, and tells himself it's for damian. he covers his tracks and leaves the man dead in his cell.
tim has been keeping an almost obssessive eye on jason as hood's movements, trying to figure out what his motives are.
and then talia arrives on the doorstep with a kid in tow. and the kid has mannerisms that reminds him of jason.
that's when it clicks.
Years later, when Jason has sort of reconciled with some of the bats, not bruce tho, i love to imagine a giant white tiger just... lazing around in the nest with a fox sleeping on him, or a panther cub sleeping with him. Dick wants to sleep shifted, too, but jason keeps fearing he'll accidentally roll over and crush him lol

The people in the coment section are going crazy!
Nightwing_1fan: IS THAT RED ROBIN?!
GunsAndRoses4ever: WAT DO YOU MEAN NEW LESSON PLAN!
Oracle is just in the back not saying anything, to anyone, because she knows that Danny won't reveal there ID
After Red Robin is treated and well, Danny just ends the stream and ignore everyone's panic, he sits on his bed with RR and stares in to distance as if reminiscing of the past.
>----------------------------------------------------<
See this particular Vigilante is not uncommon to find in his bed or crashing through his window
The first time it happened Danny was not panicking, but he WAS surprised, it was a normal night, no rogue attacks, no gas atacs, just the normal every day Gotham weirdness
Back then Danny "yes I am retired! stop gaslightin yourself Danny" Phantom got in to the medical cabinet and treated RR wounds with the practice that came from 4 years of hero work and several hours of a big sister nagging you to treat yourself better
Wen Red Robin woke up most would think he would go in fight or flight mode, but he pretended to still be asleep, assessed his advantages points and then he moved, because Danny sad he knew RR was awake, and seeing that he still had his mask he trusted assessed the threat level as low, for the time being
Wen he made the motions to get up and go, Danny looked at him as if he grown a second head, and proceeded to refuse to give hom back his gear, he would not get out in the field until he was COMPLETELY healed, but with a promise that RR would rest he reluctantly let him go back "I should have insisted on seeing another vigilante picking him up"
Danny didn't want the BBB(big bad bat) attention, and with this stunt he thought he was done for, all of his and his parents hard work to hide him from the GIW until the anti ecto acts are removed! So instead of going through the safe option of healing RR and letting him go? He holds his gear in hostage and makes RR promise to not go on patrol for at least a week, then he could have his super fancy gear back
And RR goes along with it, to the BBB Red was in the nest getting some 1⁰ aid, to Alfred and Oracle he was in safe-ish hands, and nothing more (there is no hiding a thing from Oracle, and the stitches couldn't be done by himself)
To Tim's credit he did stay away from patrol, but he had some cases and reports he needed to finish, and some CEO things he had to decide, and in the end slept 5 hours in the spam of that week, so wen he got back to Danny's house, and Danny saw his state of being, well let's say that Danny had his growth spur and is as tall as his Dad, and with his ghost strength, he put the already exhausted RR to sleep
This tipe of situation became a normal for them, wen RR got hurt he would go to Danny(every time he claimed it was closers than the famous BatCave or the nest)
RR ccaught some feelings, and denied his hart of the truth (He gaslighted himself that Danny "I have a BI flag on my wall" Fenton didn't like him because he is a boy) the truth being Danny was completely in love, talk about being the best detective in the world
>----------------------------------------------------<
Red Robin starts to stir, and slowly wakes up
"Hey Danny" throat a little dry
Danny just looks disappointed "don't you 'hi Deanny' me!! Yesterday I told you to stay at the manor or at the nest, and now mister you will stay here, Dady bat's has no control over you, so I have to take this position"
RR pouts
"Oh don't try to look at me with this face! You know that now my stream is going to go viral and unless Oracle does something, and even then, The BBB is going to find everything that we put some effort to hide"
*signs* "Yeee I know, and stop calling B that"
"Wat? Daddy Bats? So wat? He is the Dad of a bunch of birds ho don't listen to him unless it's a life or death situation"
"You may not be wrong, but no-one is going ever admit that"
"Ye Ye, go back to sleep, we can deal with the aftermath of your family wen the time comes pretty bird"
"Come cuddle with me Boo?"
"I should say switch your gear to something more comfy but u are in no condition to move"
The World Contains…
Crack prompt (Inspiered by a screenshot I saw on Pinterest)
Streamer!Danny AU where Danny is giving some form of scientific lesson in a video.
Danny: The world contains protons, neutrons, electrons-
A severely sleep deprived Red Robin crashes through Danny’s window in the background, landing on the floor and immediately passing out.
Danny, looking back to the camera with a deadpan expression: …and morons.

I just want madness for the Batpham. Like picture Danny just being a friend of one of the Bats (Tim, Damien, Jason, etc.) and being invited to their house. When he's invited to his house, he was just in time for a meal. And it was a full house, so Danny was able to meet all of the family and was surprised by the amount of black haired and blue eyed people at the table. Dinner goes on and Bruce is the last one to join the family for dinner. (Whether it was because of Bat business or Wayne business is unseen.)
So he sits down and enjoys dinner with his family, talking to everyone and asking how all of their days were.
It wasn't until a few minutes after that he notices an extra head at the table and, seeing as Danny fits the description of his robins, just panics that he might of forgotten about a child. EXTRA: The robins going along with it and gaslighting Bruce into thinking Danny was their brother and Bruce had forgotten about him.

Okay but do you have any fic recs because I am sadly feeling very deprived of good fics
i've put together a quick list of some of my recommendations!!
Things in bold are incomplete fics but I think they’re incredible and definitely worth the read even if they’re incomplete.
Blanket warning that there may be some noncon, underage, and otherwise dark content present, read tags of the fics that may interest you I find that all of them are very well tagged for content within.
These are all Explicit recs:

Features so damitim as well, Jason beats up tim pretty severely but then pulls a 180 and starts treating tim softly and nicely. Keeps him captive for a while and none of the bats notice because tim got into a fight with dick just before it all went down.

Aside, but I think we discussed previously how if the Batman who Laughs (ugh) showed up in the Pre-Boot. That the logical sequence of events culminates in Jason hearing about him and then three days later said Laughing bats mangled corpse is found on the JLA's lawn along with al the Lazarus cured Robins.
But I was also thinking.
How fun would it be to just see Steph tear into the Laughing Bat (OR Batman, or Joker) Like just full on mocking and dragging him and refusing to take him at all seriously.
"Sh, sh, sh, BJ, listen, if I ever gave more than two shits what Batman thought of me, I'd have quit being Spoiler after the first few rounds of gaslighting and emotional abuse."
"Ohno! A bad thing happened to you and now you are broken/enlightened. Its not like tons of other people haven't gone through that gauntlet and not come out raving losers."
"Oh I'm sure you think you're so deep and interesting when you murder people. Like you have some amazing point to make, or just have the right of it, which puts you on the emotional maturity level of every random gun toting asshole in this country. Such a special club you're in!"
"Honestly, the fact you expect me or anyone to take you seriously, is a fucking joke, bat bitch. I mean really, you're a failed version of a guy I don't even listen to on a good day."
"B- B- I'm batman who laughs! You say, swanning about in your leather and stupid face paint, just screaming, look at me! Look at me! Because no version of you has ever apparently outgrown the childhood idea that the universe revolves around your lame ass self."
Then she caps it off by knocking him out.
Yes, we did!
I actually laughed at this. I mean it’s WFA canon thst Stephanie had laughed Bruce out of a room before, what’s to say she wouldn’t do this? But she did not lie once in that whole dialogue. Everyone just needs to sit back and watch the show because she’s about to make this motherfucker cry like the regular Joker never was able to. Full Mean Girls style. He’s going to beg her to let Jason kill him by the end of this. A Bruce she can totally humiliate without her natural empathy kicking her ass? It’s a dream come true. Bruce is standing in the corner, holding in tears himself, but thank God for the cowl.

Birds of a feather, stuck together. Jason Todd x fem!reader slow burn
Summary: Three years after Joker throws you into a cell, he throws another Robin in with you. A boy Robin
A/N: Had a burst of inspiration, so have gotten the first part of this ready pretty quickly. Thanks to everyone who has shown an interest in this from the fic ramble! This fic is based on a combination of the arkhamverse, titans, and a deep dive on the internet.
Tags/warnings: 18+ because of explicit violence, rape, torture, canon typical gotham shenanigans, use of gas and toxins, gaslighting, manipulation, Stockholm syndrome, enemies to friends to lovers, not batman friendly, alfred pennyworth is the best human in gotham.
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
You don't try to get up when the door opens, focusing on the pain in your ribs instead to try and quell the sense of uncontrollable panic.
In the beginning, you would rush the door every time it opened, trying to escape. It didn't matter how badly you were injured already; you'd fight your way out and make it through as many of Joker's men as you could. One time you'd even gotten out into the next corridor. It was always only a matter of time though. You were beaten. Every single time.
Now? You were pretty sure he left the door unlocked sometimes. Another test. There was always another test. You did your best to pass them these days. It wasn't worth the consequences if you didn't. You'd learned that the hard way. There was no escaping the consequences.
There's a pause. He's waiting for you to look up. He doesn't need to tell you anymore, his conditioning setting your nerves on edge. Look up.
You meet the bright green eyes of the Joker, and he smiles wide. A chuckle rumbles deep in his chest setting off tremors in yours. You didn't know what he was going to do, but you knew you weren't going to wait long to find out. There was no predicting the mad clown's moves. You'd learned that the hard way too.
A henchmen's clomping footsteps grow louder against the stone floor, only one. Unperturbed, Joker keeps his eyes on you. A reaction then; He wants to see your reaction. It must be something big, or he would just watch the monitor from the camera in the corner of your cell.
You would think after all this time, that surely, he must have elicited every response possible from you by now. But time after time he proved you wrong. Each time worse than the one before.
He moves slightly to allow the goon into the doorway which is when you realise that it’s Big Paulie. He is carrying something. You can only catch a glimpse of it in your peripheral vision at first, unable to be the first to look away - he didn't like it when you did that. A short nod of his approval sends relief shooting through your spine and he glances pointedly to his lackey.
Paulie throws it - a body, you quickly realise - into your cell with a thud. It's been years, but you would recognise the green and red of the unconscious lump anywhere. It's a Robin.
Panic. Panic and fear and anger rip through your mind making you flinch violently. You whimper, recoiling away from the body to push yourself tight against the wall, raw emotion taking over.
The sight of the suit alone made you want to be sick, an unwelcome reminder of everything that had landed you in your current predicament. The nausea boiling over into rage at the thought of the man responsible for ruining your life. Batman.
The fucking Bat had let another Robin get taken, like cannon fodder for his sick and twisted game with the Joker. This poor bastard kid didn't stand a chance.
And the Joker dumping his prize at your feet like it meant something - of course it meant something, everything he did meant something - a test. Another test. Oh God. What was he going to make you do?
Nausea curdled in the pit of your stomach. He had put you through some unspeakable, unimaginable things in the past, but something told you this was going to be the worst ordeal yet. Were you meant to kill him? No, Joker would want to do that for himself. It would probably be a kindness if you did kill him, but did he deserve kindness? He worked with the Bat. He was your replacement. He didn’t deserve shit. But why did he put him in with you? There were other cells, you’d seen them before. Mr J must be expecting something to happen. But what?
Joker began to cackle, no doubt amused by your turmoil. It takes another moment before you can tear your eyes away from the Kevlar. You look up at him and there must be something in your expression that amuses him because he laughs even harder at you. He turns away from you to leave, having had his fill.
"Mr J - Sir?" The honorific slips out. A nervous tick. You hate how pathetic your voice sounds but you needed some kind of hint; a clue or instruction so you knew how to pass this impossible test. Mr J – Sir, why is he here? What do I do?”
Joker doesn't turn back, ignoring your pleading as he walks away. His laughter ringing in your ears as they exit, leaving you alone with an unconscious body and your swirling thoughts.
