There’s a monster in the cave, and Bruce doesn’t know what to do about it. (More accurately: there's a CHILD in the cave. Bruce brought them here, and Bruce still doesn't know what to do about it.)

Oh shit, I forgot to post this link over here.

Bruce brings Hunt!Dick back to the cave after rescuing him from the Court of Owls, and has the slow-blooming realization of “…That is an actual, literal child.” That’s basically the entire fic.

characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that

A design of "The Devil" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE DEVIL". A symbol of a gravestone is visible behind the numeral "XV".

A young Jason Todd in his Robin uniform tugs at a thick chain around his neck that comes down from the top of the frame. Matching shackles are around his wrists and he is buried up to his waist in dirt. His head is tilted up towards the chain. There is blood on his hands, arms, chest, and dripping down the right side of his face as well as from his nose.

Image 2:

A design of "The Devil" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE DEVIL" upside-down. A symbol of a flame is visible behind the numeral "XV".

Jason Todd faces forward, filling most of the frame. He is in his Red Hood uniform and has narrowed pupil-less white eyes. He is holding the end of a thick chain in his right fist. Flames fill the background and bathe him in an orange light. The entire card is upside-down.

Batfam x TMA au

Bruce - Avatar of the Dark

Bruce was first marked by the Darkness when he fell into the tunnels under Wayne Manor as a child. (In canon this is when he developed a fear of bats) He doesn’t really accept the Darkness til after his parents die, after that the Darkness is the only place he’s safe from the eyes of the media. Bruce truly becomes an avatar shortly after becoming Batman though. Throughout his life he was also touched by the Desolation and the Web. (The Web tried to claim him too but the Darkness beat it to it)

Powers: His suit is literally made of shadow and he can bring shadows anywhere he goes. Lights also tend to mysteriously turn off when he’s around.

Bro is never going to be able to beat the vampire allegation now. 

Dick - Avatar of the Hunt

Dick was basically marked from the day he was born. Both because of his potential future as a talon and his never ending drive to be the best at everything he does. (I fully believe that Dick’s toxic perfectionism came from the circus not Bruce, after all, we saw what happened if even one mistake occurs during a performance) Dick would fully become an avatar after his parents died. He could already hear the Hunt calling to him before their deaths, and afterwards it was the Hunt that gave Dick the ability to break out of Juvie and the Manor to find and kill Tony Zucco. It was during this that Dick was fully turned. Throughout his life he was also touched by the Stranger. (I thought about the Flesh as well since one of its characteristics is objectification and the fear of SA probably falls under the Flesh but that felt a little to real, you can add it in if you want but it kinda feels like walking in a minefield)

Powers: He has enhanced senses, speed, stamina. He’s able to see in the dark. When he’s pissed/stressed/agitated his grows claws, fangs, and his eyes start glowing yellow. He also has a were-owl like form has only ever come out once, when he killed the Joker. (In this au he stays dead because Dick didn’t beat him to death, he ate him. The rogues have been terrified of Dick ever since.)

Barbara: Avatar of the Eye

Babs was kinda like the Gertrude Robinson of the family. Constantly around the different entities but never letting one get to her. That changed after she became Oracle. At first when she felt it she was horrified and quit being a hero to try to avoid it. But she couldn’t bring herself to abandon her second family like that and willingly became an avatar of the Eye to help them. She was also touched by the Web shortly after becoming Oracle.

Powers: She is able to see through every camera in all of Gotham and is also able to see through the eyes of the gargoyles around the city. Sometimes when all of the knowledge she’s absorbing becomes too much for her, she ducks underneath Bruce’s cape because the Darkness is only place she can get a break from the Eye.

Jason: Avatar of the Desolation

Jason wasn’t actually claimed by an entity until he died, but while in the Lazarus pit he was claimed by the Desolation. Bruce and Dick had always told him that he did not want to be an avatar, no matter how cool it might look from the outside. Jason never took their warnings seriously until he was turned himself. Now he knows how horrible it is and is horrified by the prospect of anyone else having to go through the process. When he sees Tim as Robin he makes it his mission to scare the kid away before an entity can claim him. (Little does he know that Tim had been turned long before he was ever Robin) Throughout his life Jason was also touched by the Buried and the End.

Powers: Jason burns anything he touches, the angrier he gets the hotter his skin burns. When he’s happy he’s warmer than normal but not painfully so. But when he’s angry his blood literally starts to boil in his veins as a green fire that burns in his chest heats up. Making his eyes glow green and a green glow to come from his chest and the back of his throat.

(Dick uses his body heat as an excuse to cuddle in the winter, Jason acts like he hates it but the fact that Dick’s skin isn’t melting off his bones when they touch says otherwise)

Tim: Avatar of the Lonely

Tim had only been free of the Lonely one time in his life. The day he went to Haly’s circus as child and meet Dick for the first time. After that thinking about that day was the only thing that gave him any relief from it. He was sure that if he meet Dick again it would make the Lonely go away (if only for a few minutes) and he was actually right, however by the time he really meet Dick again he has already been a full avatar of the Lonely for a few years. During his life Tim was also touched by the Eye.

Powers: Tim has the ability to trap people in a pocket dimension for as long as he wants. Time moves differently in these pocket dimensions so even though they are typically only in there for a few minutes, it feels like years. The people trapped also don’t age while in there so that they can really feel every second passing. These pocket dimensions normally take the form of a foggy open field with nothing around but it can change to be anything really, the only thing that is consistent is the fog. Tim is also able to conjure fog around him in the real world and the temperature tends to drop a few degrees when he’s around.

Steph: Avatar of the Spiral

Steph doesn’t even know when she became an avatar, though her best guess that it happened sometime after becoming Spoiler. She actually is pretty okay with the whole avatar of an unknowable horror thing and she actually kinda vibes with Micheal and Helen. Her first encounter with the Spiral though happened when she was a kid and had first run away from her father. She had saw a door that she didn’t recognize and ran in trying to hide in from her father. Instead of being afraid of the endless doors and hallways, she was just happy to be safe from her father. The Spiral basically did the ‘who is this sassy lost child’ meme before deciding that Steph was its sassy lost child. No other entities have tried to touch Steph, the Spiral wouldn’t let them.

Powers: Steph has the same powers as Micheal and Helen do, however she still looks mostly human. Lacking the knife fingers and extreme height the others have. Her body does glitch sometimes though. She can have the full avatar of the Spiral look that Micheal and Helen do but it only comes out in extreme situations, like Dick’s owl beast form. Steph, like Tim, will lock people in the Spiral for a while before letting them out.

Cass: Avatar of the Stranger

David Cain had known about the Entities before Cass was born and when she was a child he did everything in his power to make her an avatar of the Slaughter, it did not work and all of his efforts only made her the perfect person to be claimed by the Stranger. The Stranger had turned Cass in to something more resembling a life sized porcelain doll than a human. Even giving her ball joints, painted lips, and glass eyes. The Stranger had also given her a new voice box after David Cain cut her vocal cords. After becoming a bat she was also touched by the Darkness.

Powers: Cass might look like she’s made of porcelain but she is not fragile, quite the opposite actually. She’s incredibly strong and durable. And she’s able to tank a lot of damage that the others can’t. Cass is also able to change out her voice box so that she can sound like anyone she wants. The other bats always make sure that Cass has any voice box she could possibly ever need.

Damian: Avatar of the Extinction

Damian would not have become an avatar of the Extinction if his mother and grandfather hadn’t forced it on him. Both Ra’s and Talia are also avatars of the Extinction and they believed that Damian needed to be one too. If left alone he would have probably been an avatar of the Corruption, however that didn’t happen. He has also been touched by the End and the Corruption (obviously).

Powers: Unlike the others, Damian doesn’t have any powers that are useful in a fight. Instead if he concentrates on a certain species, he’s able to see what the world would look like if that species went extinct.

Duke: Avatar of the Darkness

Duke is a special case when it comes to Darkness avatars. He doesn’t hide from the light (obviously man works day shift). Instead his meta gene makes both light and dark bend to him. This makes him an incredible choice to be an avatar for the Darkness. Duke’s ability to see into other timelines had also gotten the Extinction’s attention but the Darkness suited him better. Throughout his life, Duke has also been touched by the Desolation and the Extinction.

Powers: Dukes powers don’t actually change from his canon ones, but he does get the ability to blind people.

did some doodles

[ynterstellar]

I follow people who are into batfamily on tumblr. I also follow people who are into the magnus archives. So when people post about Tim No Last Name™️ I have to guess whether they mean Tim Drake, or Tim Stoker. Especially if it’s some ambiguous headcanon like “fuck dude, I bet this guy is big into coffee”

[dearestdeeer]

Assigning each Bat Family Members a TMA Fear entity cuz multiverse shit (we love crossovers)

art is from WFA

[renirae]

Batfamily members as The Magnus Archives fears!!

Bruce - the Dark, the Hunt

Dick - the Stranger, the Vast

Barbara - the Eye

Jason - the Slaughter, the Desolation

Tim - the Lonely, the Eye

Steph - the Desolation

Cass - the Dark, the Hunt

Damian - the Hunt

Duke - the Spiral

notes/explanations!:

yes Bruce and Cass are exactly the same fears, I just feel like that makes sense for them considering their personas haha

Dick as the Stranger is mostly because of him when he was Robin - like, I think his eerie laugh is perfect for it!

okay Babs as the Eye is like the most obvious connection ever lmao

Jason is also related to the Buried, but unlike with the Desolation I don't think it's in a way where he'd actually become an avatar of it

this is probably(?) more fanon Tim, but I've seen a lot of people agree on this actually!

Steph as the Desolation is because her entire vigilante persona was made to destroy her dad's plans, so I think it's fitting!!

Duke was difficult, but I eventually realized I could put him as the Spiral since he's associated with illusions :)

Damian was actually the hardest of all - I feel like as vigilantes all of them are Hunt-coded so it seemed a bit too obvious, but it just made the most sense for him!

I've been thinking about these for a WHILE, so hopefully they're pretty accurate!! let me know if you agree, or if you have some totally different suggestions ^^

Jason thought he'd seen the peaks of Gotham criminal stupidity, and then they kidnapped Robin. Seriously, from the bottom of his heart, what the fuck were they thinking? In what world does that not end badly for them? (Certainly not the one where Jason's new family are monsters summoned directly from your worst nightmares, who decided to be "nice" about it.)

WOO, finished another one! This has to be one of my favorite moments from this AU, but getting it written has been like pulling teeth.

I am pleased with how it finally turned out, though!

Come get your Hunt!Dick being violently protective of his little brother & Robin!Jason trusting his big brother even when he's a feral Fear monster!

[daydreamerwonderkid]

Trying to assign the Batfam to the Magnus Archives Entities. Idk how accurate these are, mostly going off vibes while I relisten to the podcast.

Bruce-The Eye, The Lonely, The Spiral, The Dark, The Stranger

Dick-The Lonely (?)

Barbara-The Eye

Jason-The Buried, The Hunt, The Slaughter

Cass-The Hunt (?), The Slaughter (?)

Tim-The Spiral, The Dark

Steph-The Buried (?), The Stranger

Duke-The Desolation (?)

Damian-The Web

[thereallyreallylatebird]

Right now my dash is full of the Magnus Archives, the Mechanisms, and Batman. This is wonderful, 10/10, BUT. All three fandoms have a character named Tim. The amount of times I've gotten though almost an entire post to be blindsided with terminology/characters from a fandom different than the one I assumed is astronomical.

A design of "The Emperor" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE EMPEROR". A symbol of a spider-web is visible behind the numeral "IV".

Bruce Wayne stands facing foward in his classic Batman uniform with pupil-less white eyes. He is inside of a cave with large stalactites. In two rows of four in front of him is Dick, Barbara, Jason, Tim, Steph, Cass, Damian and Duke, each in their first vigilante uniforms. Barbara and Cass are both Batgirl. Steph is Spoiler. The boys are all in their Robin uniforms. They are all kneeling as though pledging allegiance. A faint spider-web pattern stretches from Bruce's feet to the bottom of the frame.

Image 2:

A design of "The Emperor" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE EMPEROR" upside-down. A symbol of a spider-web is visible behind the numeral "IV".

Bruce Wayne stands with his back turned in an all-black Batman uniform inside of a cave with large stalactites. The whole frame is dark. The only visible part of his face is one pupil-less white eye, looking over his shoulder at two rows of four gravestones. The gravestones all have spider-web patterns and there is another spider-web visible at Bruce’s feet. The entire card is upside-down.
