Summary
No one is sure how long the loud sounds of the cries have been going on, 10, 15 years maybe? It’s uncertain, forgotten to keep track of. The cries...all so sorrowful and painful..you can hear them every night, and it just gets louder and louder each night. Sometimes you'll even hear chirps, clicks, and chittering. It all comes from one city, Gotham City.
Those outside of Gotham aren’t aware of what is making those sounds..only inside Gotham, and sometimes the neighboring cities.
Will they ever stop? No one knows, not even to figure out what the cause of it is. No one but Gotham knows the truth as to why these cries keep happening each night, but that's not entirely true is it? Let's ask and find out what these cries are all about inside the city of Gotham.

Summary
Something was going on with Kon. There was a genuine reason for Tim to be curious, if not concerned. And Tim had the ability to play his concern off as trying to prepare for Kon’s Hatching Day. Everyone knew Tim was weird about birthdays.
Okay, well, he might be hard pressed to try and convince anyone that he needed to break into Kon’s room for that. Tim wasn’t really worried about it, though. It only mattered if he got caught. And he wasn’t going to get caught. He just needed to be quick and sneaky. Standard Robin.Once he'd seen what he could find in Kon's room, he'd know his time limit. And exactly what he was looking for. Tim had to get as much information as he could from LuthorCorp and CADMUS.

It wasn’t his first time visiting the team, after Clark introduced them he tagged along to some of the meetings as an almost member.
He enjoyed listening to the happenings of each of the heroes…however…there wasn’t much going on recently and it was a whole lot of filler.

Summary
Gotham City has always been strange, but not stranger than what the rumors tell. A dark shadow with glowing eyes roams through the city at night. Sometimes it has little ones by it’s side, but don’t approach them, or you’ll end up dead like the rest of them who were foolish enough to touch them. It’s always watching, and always near the little ones who follow.
Though it has saved lives of the innocent, bringing them safety and closure. Yet there are those who are afraid, afraid to approach, and afraid to drive them away. They hate them, believe to be curses who prey on the innocent.
They’re demons after all, right?
The Justice League is called upon to deal with these demons who scare the innocent of Gotham. For the safety of the innocents, they go out to deal with it. But what they come to learn is something they never would have expected.

Summary
Timothy Jackson Drake exhaled a shallow breath, hands shaking above his keyboard. The orphaned twice over boy had found his second father when all thought he was dead. He nervously brought his finger down on the 'enter' button of his keyboard, forwarding an email to the other end, said end being the one and only Justice League. As Tim leaned back into his chair, he brought his hands to his face, he hadn't stopped shaking, but in the moment he couldn't care less. He released quite sobs as he peeked through his fingers, staring at the 'message sent' note on his screen. He was relieved he could finally go home to Gotham, to his family, and that he would be far, far, away, from the League of Assassins.
"My, My, Timothy, I never thought I would see you like this in person."
!IMPORTANT!
Instead of writing new chapters I am currently rewriting previous chapters. In the future I will add a disclaimer in the end notes for early readers to reread chapters if they haven't. Do not worry, I will be continuing this story after I have revised each chapter. -
Shades and Silhouettes by ElderFractal
Fandoms: DCU (Comics), DCU, Batman - All Media Types
16 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
this project is coming from someone too poor to read anything DCU beside WFA but has fallen in love with the characters because of the fandom. No, this story won't be as happy as the single source I read instead of just seeing it spoken of. This is an AU with my scrunkly OC species and is not to be taken seriously. I take constructive criticism on my writing style; I passed English but didn't absorb it. That being said, I hope this story is alright, and I apologize for the inevitable mischaracterizations.

Hey there ghosts it’s me, ya Robin by SummerBummin

Summary
Jason’s mind was reeling. “Someone can see us?”
He’d tried everything he could think of to get Bruce and Alfred’s attention since he became a ghost. But even physically floating through their bodies hadn’t elicited a response.
She laughed. “Crazy, ain’t it? I don’t know if he’s a meta or what, but all the ghosts are talking about him.”
If there was someone out there who could see ghosts… then maybe…
Jason had to find him. “Who is he?”
“He’s known by many names… Veil Walker… Reaper… Half-Pint.”
Jason sputtered. “Half-Pint??”
“That’s the wildest shit. It’s a kid. Like a middle schooler.” Delilah threw out one of her hands. “And he’s out here wandering Gotham every night and chatting up the dead.”
Jason could only stare at her. Processing. A kid who could see ghosts... What was this? The Sixth Sense: Gotham edition??
———
Jason was murdered by the Joker. Tim can see the dead. They find each other.

Summary
Tim could never understand why his mother would always get so upset with him when he tried to dress himself. Shirt, pants, shoes, tie. He had all the items positioned perfectly. So why was she angry?
His mother would always pull him aside with a bruising grip at galas to hiss at him to quit making odd noises. That it was disgraceful. But how else was he supposed to see? To orient himself without clicking his tongue or tapping his foot to feel the vibrations was something he hadn’t learned yet. He’d do better.
Timmy was 8 when he finally understood. Apparently, other people didn’t use sound to view where things were. Apparently, their eyes showed them something other than an inky nothing. They didn’t have to push a piece of themselves into an object to ‘see’ it like he had learned to do when he was 7. Apparently, their eyes showed way he ‘saw’ was a weakness. His mother didn’t tolerate weakness. He couldn’t let them find out.Or a fic where Tim was born blind, but no one noticed because he learned some unique ways to handle himself.

She'll steal away even that which I have (and I will be left empty headed) by Hot_chocolate_is_superior
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Summary
A Gothamite, a real true bonafide Gothamite, was a child of the city herself. With a dark shadow and razor sharp teeth and blue eyes. A Gothamite could slip from shadow to shadow, they would walk into one and walk out of another three miles away. Children playing tag in the darkness of the day would run into the shadow of a slide and exit across the playground still in pursuit. And a Gothamite was just a little bit insane.
Janet, despite her birth, is not a Gothamite
OR
Perhaps Jack and Janet were not entirely to blame for what would happen to their son. Because Jack and Janet loved their son, but Timothy was a Gothamite and so, the farther Jack and Janet got from Gotham the less they were able to remember him. Gotham would never allow whats hers to leave completely. By the time Tim is 14 Jack and Janet are empty shells, starving for their souls.

Summary
“You mean Mommy?” The boy tilted his head, as if listening to something unseen, “She says she doesn’t want to leave a magician unsupervised. Their magic gets all twisty around her.”
Jason raised an eyebrow, “Then why’d she come?”
The boy pouted, “What’s she supposed to do? Leave?”
“Sure?” Jason shrugged.
The boy sighed, as if his reasoning was the most obvious thing in the world, “She’s a city, it's not like she can just up and move.”

Summary
What do you mean you’ll just go to Gotham?” Green Arrow asked as soon as Clark let his solution slip.
“Well- that’s where Batman is?”
“Exactly. Why would you go to Gotham if Batman was there? How would getting yourself killed help us regain resources?”
At that Clark was confused. “Because he’d get us new stuff?”
The table tensed.

Clark forgot to mention that he knows the mysterious Batman and takes the JL to meet him (and his family of cryptid creatures).Series

Summary
A couple extra members of the Batfamily that in this Universe I felt were better suited as their own distinct families. Really just the Gordons and one other, no it is not Lucius. I wasn't sure how to squeeze him in since this is kind of covering the timeline up to the end of Birth of the Bats, so Bruce/Batman hasn't even begun to build Wayne Enterprise yet (or ever? Undecided). Thus the Fox family will not be joining us at this time. Sorry.
