Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.

Then: The year is 2013. Jason Todd is alive, fourteen years old, and about to follow Sheila Haywood, his birth mother, into the hands of the Joker. All he wants is to save her life.

Now: The year is 2018. Jason Todd was dead. But now he's a nineteen year old vigilante about to take down the latest C-Lister rogue. Unfortunately for him, its a rogue that specialises in time-travel technology. And what starts as an easy takedown...ends as a time travelling phenomenon.

The two Jasons swap places. (Multi, hurt/comfort)

Retrograde Motion by Lysical

All Jason wanted was a case that was simple, clean, and far away from the latest mess in Gotham. Magic wasn't the Outlaws' area of expertise, but they soon found themselves investigating a dark wizard with a penchant for organ harvesting.

[havendance]

Damian Wayne fics?

Dug some up for you! (I do read less Damian so you might have encountered some of these, but hopefully you can find some new ones on here!) There were also some good fics featuring Damian in this previous fic rec list I put together. Check them out! (Note: starred fics (*) are restricted to logged in ao3 users)

Arguments on the Definition of Dystopia by batling_out_of_hell

8.7k, wip. Damian & Cass get stranded in the universe of the MCU and they proceed to clash with the avengers. A fun romp so far.

consider my age, please don’t take me at this stage by This_world_of_beautiful_monsters

2.5k, complete. During the reborn era, an investigation of Batman and Robin’s brings back memories for Damian. The summary states that this is a coda to Streets of Gotham #7 if you have read it, but it stands alone if you have not. Very vivid prose.

Damian Wayne v. The World by superstar_socrates

33k, complete. Case fic in which Damian participates in a school play and gets involved in an investigation. Also featuring Duke, Maps, Cass and more in supporting roles!

Ghosts That We Knew by fishfingersandjellybabies

130k, complete. After Damian's death, he haunts his family members as a ghost. It’s been a while since I’ve read this one, but I do remember thinking it was sweet, in like, a sad way.

Good Children are Seen and Not Heard by meaninglessblah

2.5k, complete. Damian gets hit by fear gas. Excellent execution of the concept.

someone will remember us by yellow_caballero

50k, complete. This is a one-shot as a heads up. This is a Damian-focused reverse robins AU. Very Good from what I remember but also I haven’t reread it because of the 50k one-shot thing.

*The Tamer by coyote_nebula

25k, wip. This fic is part of a series, but the first 5 chapters of this form a fairly stand alone story following Damian in his childhood with the league. Damian also shows up in some of the other works in the series this is part of, but this is the one most focused on him. 

*The Threat by JackHawksmoor

2.1k, complete. Damian and Bruce have a talk after Dick is injured. This author is excellent at character voices. (Note: this fic is only available to logged in AO3 users.)

*To the Moon by theLiterator 

9k, complete. Damian post new-52 resurrection, seeks out and finds Dick Grayson, currently an agent of Spyral. Very good.

And then, a few bonus ones:

A Lesson in Superiority by Nation_Ustria

90k, wip. Okay, so this is both on the more fanon-y side of things and also a Harry Potter crossover where Damian is a wizard, but if it does sound like something you’d be interested in reading, it does have some nice moments for Damian. (And also the worldbuilding’s fun.)

Hot Dog, French Fries by eggmacguffin

6k, complete. Tim & Damian — Damian gets hit by physic truth serum.

*Let it Fade Away by theLiterator

2.1k, complete. Damian and Bruce during Bruce’s new 52 amnesia arc. Focused more on Bruce than Damian but still good.

Oh i know this one! Its Trouble by theLiterator

maybe you’ll be able to help with this

https://www.tumblr.com/ficfinding/730759299253567488/hello-im-looking-for-a-dc-fic-its-a-hal-and

ARGHH I know the fic I have no idea what it's called though 😭 Anyone here know the name?

[skalidra]

Chapters: 7/? Fandom: DCU (Comics), Injustice: Gods Among Us Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con, Underage Relationships: Diana (Wonder Woman) & Jason Todd, Diana (Wonder Woman)/Clark Kent, Jason Todd/Damian Wayne Characters: Damian Wayne, Jason Todd, Diana (Wonder Woman), Clark Kent Additional Tags: Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Co-Written, Mind Control, Torture, Psychological Torture, Suffering Summary:

Jason's been living outside the war for a long time, refusing to join either side while he tries to keep the world's innocents from becoming collateral damage. But that can't last forever. Eventually Damian shows up in his safehouse, there to enforce Superman's demand that Jason come to the Watchtower. He expects to have to choose a side, but as it turns out, the decision's already been made.

~~

“Have you eaten?” Damian asks, while Jason fights to get the belt through the beltloops of the slacks. Todd isn’t quite bulky enough to fill out their father’s clothing, and Damian can’t help the little frisson of triumph he feels in that.

“Have I—” Todd bites back a noise that might have been a curse, once, and then he looks murderous for long seconds. “Well,” he says slowly. “Guess those weren’t the magic words after all.”

Damian stands up to get a closer look at Todd, the shine of pink on his teeth drawing him in. “Did you— did you just bite your tongue?” he demands.

“Yes, okay?”

Damian wants to reply that it is not, in fact, okay, but he’s not certain Todd will appreciate the sentiment.

“Why?” he asks, creeping closer, still focusing on Todd’s mouth.

Or start from the beginning!

[batlanterned]

To start off the fic rec lists, here are some of my favorite Batlantern fics!

In Ruins by sharkshark - It's the late 1930s and Bruce Wayne is an expert in Egyptian archaeology. When he's called down to Egypt to help out an old friend, he meets Hal Jordan and everything goes downhill from there.

What do you mean I fucked Batman!? by weekendschild - Batman did not know how it had happened, but he was willing to bet it was Green Arrow and Superman’s fault. Possibly even Wonder Women. However, it had happened the Justice League was sitting on the floor of the Watchtower’s conference room playing Never Have I Ever and Batman wanted to break someone’s face. Possibly Green Lantern or Aquaman’s faces, they were the ones who had insisted that if they were doing this, they needed to be sitting on the floor.

Trouble by theLiterator - The billionaire's booty call. Or: Hal Jordan sleeps with Bruce Wayne for awhile, and then he falls in love with Batman.

not for the faint of heart by @pasdecoeur - Clark opens a door that was meant to stay closed. Things spiral. or, What Not To Do When You’ve Fallen in Love with Batman: A Guide by Hal Jordan & Clark Kent.

strip down to his feelings by BoyishStutter - “I still don’t understand,” Diana admits, after staring at the magazine, critically, for ten minutes in silence, “Why is this causing such a strong reaction? Bruce has done photoshoots before and no one cared.” 

Clark, having already buried his face in his hands seven minutes ago to hide his growing blush, refuses to answer.

“Is it simply because he’s naked?”

Or, Bruce does a nude spread in a high end fashion magazine and gets quite a few reactions. It all works out in the end.

[jaydickrecommendations]

Trust

by theLiterator (Read here)

Jason's having a hard enough time figuring out how to deal with his family between Dick Grayson's death and Bruce Wayne's amnesia, without some guy creeping on him and his brothers.

For what it’s worth: A really cool Spyral AU that’s more realistic than the actual comics. Short, sweet, & well written.

[scaleeth]

December pledge reward for @theliterator, who wanted me to draw a snow leopard! Thank you so much for supporting me! Patreon rewards like this are usually meant to take about an hour to complete, but I spent a bit longer on these this month so I could get some practice with quick coloring styles. c: 2.5 hours in Photoshop CS6

[alessandriana]

theliterator replied to your post: You don’t really feel like an adult until you have...

I feel you should know that on my dash this very accurate post is immediately above a post with a lesbian porn gif. If that doesn’t sum up adulthood in one phone screen or less IDK what does.

ahahaha perfect

[dankovskaya]

Okay. Apparently this is what that post wasabout. Why would he do this.

[ephemereos]

My mom grew me up with the idea that books are important and shouldn’t be destroyed and ruined and while I agree, that does not apply to Purity by Jonathan Franzen. I have personal beef with that book. I would run it over with a car. I’d do experiments on it.

[medievalcellphone]

hey so I already sent you an astrology ask (Taurus sun, Taurus moon, libra rising) but I’ve always wanted to know someone’s opinion on my full chart so i’m back to pester you with it lol. Aries Mercury, Pisces Venus, Taurus Mars. 8th house stellium (where all my Taurus placements are) thank you!

all that taurus means you are a kind and steady person, there is an innate structure to the way you view yourself and the world around you, you might be uncompromising at times without even knowing it... more so in close relationships then in life. the libra rising makes you magnetic and easy to talk to, you make people feel appreciated and heard. the aries mercury is so fun here.. you have a lot to say and are very honest and articulate. venus in pisces isn't always a fun placement but the taurus in your chart kind of makes it fun. you probably have a hard time being spontaneous and might pine over someone instead of doing anything about it.. maybe u idealize people, or sorta concede to a relationship for the sake of it. a stellium represents some sort of area in your life that feels consuming and hard to escape from.... the 8th house is the house of transformation rebirth, taboos and metaphysical stuff, imo the areas of one's life in which these manifest are something you can only know yourself, it's situational. but generally an 8th house stellium (in taurus especially) means your life will be about breaking out of your comfort zone, learning that responsibility isn't incompatible with spontaneity... this is a super interesting chart, i'd love to know what houses ur venus and mercury are

[tirediscourse]

theliterator replied to your post “it’s funny bc before i got into Shipping Discourse, usually i didn’t...”

I actually only ship DickDami romantically out of spite. "Oh this thing I'm not doing makes you mad? HERE YOU GO LADS."

NICE. spite shipping, forever and always the best way to ship literally anything

[robinsgotham]

theliterator replied to your post “I’ve updated my DC ficrecs page! 49 new fics, bringing the total...”

I've been recced! Thanks bb. As always, you have a good solid reclist there. <3

you’re welcome and thank you!!! :D

[skalidra]

Hey, don't take this as pressure, but I'm seeing two chapters for Broken Bullets in your works for a while now and since i really like this fic i wanted to ask when you think it's going to be updated?

Hey! Broken Bullets is a little bit of a weird one. I wrote that originally with theLiterator, who has since mostly left fandom (I would link their Tumblr, but that’s gone, too), and I haven’t talked to them in a while. I will probably end up finishing that one off by myself, so the end of the story might feel different than the rest, and I just haven’t gotten to it yet. So, I’ve been kind of slow-bleeding those remaining chapters I had, waiting for Lit to potentially contact me again, or etc.

I think, at this point, I’ll probably just put them into the ‘regular’ (as much as I have a regular) rotation and post them as they come up.

(Thanks for pushing me to make a choice!)
