Summary
The special collections reading room at the Gotham History Hub (formerly the Historical Society of the Gotham Metropolitan Area) is generally fairly quiet. The "why" is mostly down to Wayne. The "who" of actual visitors includes a few regulars who might just have interesting alter egos...

Northern Attitude (I Was Raised on Little Light) by theskeptileptic
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Summary
It's not *Tim's* fault Batman slept with his mom sixteen years ago, or Tim's fault that Bruce Wayne regrets signing away his parental rights fifteen years ago, but Jack Drake sure thinks it is. Now Damian is bugging him about cows and family and Jason and Dick won't stop kidnapping him and Bruce is acting like court orders don't matter, like he doesn't have a huge bat-shaped secret to protect from literally the whole freaking world.
Why is Tim the only functioning adult in this situation?
This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead. (So, update, some people are saying this may not be as fluffy as I am advertising it. I plead the 5th.)

Double Agent Vader by Fialleril
Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
06 Dec 2017
Summary
The one where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.
This is a collection of oneshots that all fit into the same universe, but posted in no particular order. Updated when the muse strikes me.
Alternate summary, according to TV Tropes: A man attempts to escape slavery by turning into one of his culture heroes, teaching his daughter how to do magic, killing people, and flower arranging.

Summary
Something is wrong with Tim. Bruce isn’t sure what yet, but he’s confident in his ability to figure it out. He is, after all, the world’s greatest detective. He’s not sure when he first started noticing the difference, but he lets the vague unease prickle in the back of his mind as Tim gives him half a smile and slips out of the Cave after patrol.

Dissertation of Doom (AKA: Academia Is the Real Supervillain) by Daemon70
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics), Red Robin (Comics), Robin (Comics)

Summary
Tim Drake just wanted a PhD, not a criminal record. But when his dissertation committee includes three of Gotham’s most notorious supervillains, “extra credit” starts looking a lot like “light supervillainy.” It’s fine, really…until the Bats gets involved.

Bookmarker's Notes
A fic that made me lose 90 minutes without realizing it (and then I had to go to sleep with it unfinished).
Wonderful character study that blends the chaotic joy of the 90s Young Justice run with later versions of the characters. Tim Drake is my Robin, and this story of his late teens as seen from his family is well-crafted. The author lets all of the characters (point of view and appearing) be wrong, traumatized, recovering from trauma, and not entirely great at communicating, without doing the fanfic "magic wand everything is fixed by the end" trick (don't get me wrong, I love that sometimes. But this version of growth is so real and so good).
Extra kudos for the amazing notes at the end of each chapter which expand on canon, fanon, and headcanon lore.
