Alternate Lifetimes: Time Less
(Mostly long(er) Fics with minor to moderate Canon divergence:
- divergent fics that still hit the major Canon plot points, in spite of (minor) changes to the world &/or characters
- fics in which only one character's timeline/backstory is noticeably altered
- fics where attempting to preserve the timeline is a key part of the plot (or wherein the timeline preserves itself), etc.

Summary
Batman needs a Robin…but Jason is dead and Dick no longer lives in Gotham. Tim could hunt him down and convince him to come back, but that would take time. Time he worries Batman doesn’t have.
Every night, he gets closer and closer to crossing the line. If he doesn’t get help soon, Tim’s terrified he’ll end up killing someone.
In the absence of Robin, a beta will have to do.
(Or: Tim presents as a beta and chooses to apply his new instincts to comforting Batman. Batman doesn't get a say in it.)

Summary
“Leave.”
Jason steps closer. He pulls out the pregnancy tests and wordlessly holds his hand out. Bruce’s entire demeanor changes from annoyed to furious.
“What is this?” He asks despite it being obvious.
“I’m pregnant.”
Jason makes a mistake and it costs him everything.

Summary
“They unmasked him,” Bruce says, slow, each word sticking like it doesn’t want to come out. “And strapped him to a bomb that was connected to his heartbeat.”
Jason doesn’t say anything. He has never had any reason to trust anything Bruce says. It’s such a Bruce-like thing, to lie about something so enormously unimaginable.
*
The world believes Dick Grayson is dead. But Jason could never fall for something so ridiculous. Dick Grayson? Dead? Impossible.

Summary
Based on prompt by jack_a_rose on the 118 discord:
Ten years ago, Buck got a wrong number text message telling him Thanksgiving Dinner was at 4pm that year and not to be late. Buck replied saying that they had the wrong number and joked asking if he could still have a plate.
He got the reply, "Of course you can, I'll text you the address. I'm a cop, though, so no funny business."
That's how Buck became a yearly addition at the Grant Thanksgiving Dinner, four years before he chose to settle in LA. Four years before he started at the 118.
