Summary
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Jon suddenly spits out—surprised at his own words and actions—briefly smacking Damian’s shoulder with enough force to have him angle towards Jon, but not near enough to actually hurt. Damian winced, anyways, and Jon regrets the action. The guilt is overruled by the intense emotions that make Jon’s stomach flip with anxiety and squeeze his heart.
Nightwing stares in shock. Batman looks shocked, staring in silence. Damian fully turns his head to glare at Jon, lips pulled back in a confused sneer at the sudden interruption.
—
Or, Jon’s already having a bad day when he has to go save Damian from a reckless decision. Already emotionally unstable, he leads with his heart, because Kon did say something about trusting his gut, anyway.
Title from Too Sweet, Hozier.

Summary
For some unknown reason, Bruce was transported to the world where his counterpart is a retired vigilante called 'the Batman'. The 'Gotham Knights' (as Bruce knew of them) try to make sense of this version of their father and the all fatherly actions they are allergic to.
How would the Knights solve this inter-dimensional problem if their brain short circuits every time Bruce gives them free and open affection? And could this 'problem' actually be a solution in disguise?
And how will the Knights in their world cope up with a Bruce, who not only know who they are, but fights better than four of them combined?
A Gotham Knights x Death of a Hero Crossover story! :D

Summary
Tim wasn’t a cat person. He wasn’t a dog person either, for that matter. It wasn’t that he disliked them - animals were great in the way that they didn’t expect conversation - rather, it was that he was bad with them. He was bad at communication with humans, and they (mostly) used their words, so he had a hard time figuring out what an animal wanted from him. Unfortunately, this didn’t seem to matter when he opened his eyes and found himself staring at two paws instead of hands.
Tim finds himself in a spot of trouble, and, in an unrelated turn of events, Jason adopts a cat. These things are related in the way that the Batfamily needs to work on their detective skills.

Summary
"Okay, Mr. Detective, what about the way they interact when they are alone? And, no, don't answer to that," Clark quickly silenced him. "I don't know if you've noticed the way they look at each other when, well, they're doing homework or sitting around watching a movie or playing games. They're always looking for eye contact, looking at each other, smiling, and then pretending to look away..."
"Let's stalk them."
Clark was about to add more - and perhaps point out to Bruce that they were poking each other more than usual - when that one word hit him like a bucket of ice water. "What?" he choked on his own saliva, but Bruce blinked.
"I thought you had super-hearing?"
"No, I mean, what's wrong with you?"
"It's the most effective and quickest way I know of to find out what we want to know, and especially to see if your assumptions and doubts are well-founded."
Clark didn't know what to say; he just gasped like a fish out of water before massaging his temples. "You know, B, I'm starting to regret bringing you into this." -

Summary
“É ele,” Tiago whispered excitedly as he pointed to the pointed tips on the man’s cowl, “Batman, pois não?”
“Pois não,” Evelyn breathed, taking the body in. Somehow she hadn’t noticed before, but once he had said it, it was obvious.
She had just pulled Batman out of a dumpster.

Summary
“Remember Jason? I wanna hang out with him soon. He was awesome.” Tim looked up from typing out his report to Dick, who was lounging on his bed. They were in Dick’s room instead of the Cave because Dick insisted on ‘bonding time’. He’d been a bit smothering since the whole kidnapping incident, but Tim was no worse for wear.
“Who’s that? A friend from school?”
“No? The kids at Gotham Academy suck, by the way.”
“Then who? I can’t believe you’re making friends without telling me, baby bird.” Dick shot him a mournful look that was clearly fake.
“You’ve met him! Hood? Rescued me from an auction? Fed me? Very warm?”
Dick paled a bit. “You - you want to hang out with Hood? The crime lord with a kill count as high as Bruce’s bank account?”
Or Tim tries to get his family to realize that his Jason is their Jason. It doesn't work very well.
