Summary
When Dick finally hooks up with Jason, he doesn't expect it to send him into a fit of nesting. In an attempt to soothe Dick's instincts, Jason brings Tim along to be his "pup." Now, Dick has two alphas in his nest, and they're eager to please.
Jason grins wolfishly, eyes dancing to Tim, who’s red-faced and pressed into Dick’s bosom. He ducks to lick at Dick’s ear. “You want me to give you another pup, mama? Want me to fuck you in your nest, with your puppy here?”

Summary
At the sound of a struck match, Tim twisted, fixed on the flame. “What?” His eyes followed the movement of Jason lighting his cigarette, and snuffing out the match in the dirt. The Florentine countryside was evidently quite dry, so he dug it in extra hard.
For a while, they watched each other, until Tim sniffed the air and said, “You smoke Marlboros.”
“That’s not in my personnel file?”
“No, it…” he caught himself and shook his head, once, like he didn’t mean to and had to catch himself again. Jason had thrown him, somehow. “It is. Ha.”
“Ha,” Jason repeated back, now thrown, himself. “What else is in there?” Beyond the cliff, a firework exploded in brilliant blues and greens, peacock-colored. It lit Tim’s left cheek and eye in cerulean. He was alien, cut from Kryptonite or something like it, horribly powerful and difficult to look at.
Tim said, “your shit schedule,” and turned back to the sky.(Tim asks Jason to help him work an undercover op in Italy. Things get complicated.)

Summary
Tim Drake—a bored, wealthy, 18-year-old, who never became the next Robin. He maintains his obsession with Batman and Robin, and continues to follow, investigate, and photograph Batman and his close associates. He knows the identities of every, or almost every, Bat family member and some other heroes. He’s smart, he’s being recruited by all kinds of universities and government agencies for his programming and hacking skills, but…his life is empty. He wants something exciting to happen. Anything.
He never dreamed of actually stepping foot in the same bar as Jason Todd, his favorite enigma, but boredom will push a heinously wealthy honors student to do stupid things.

Summary
Leslie confirmed what he already knew: Hanahaki. A single bloom, but certainly there; developed enough that it had been growing for “a few months, at least.”
“Seventeen days,” he’d said, and her brow had furrowed before she told him that it was virulent, then, and he better buck up and say what needed to be said. “It’s not that simple,” he’d told her.
“It never is, Tim, but neither is dying.”

Summary
“Let’s get a cab. Do you have a place around here?”
“I don’t know,” he mumbles eloquently, because the building across from the alley is a neon lit go-kart track and not the remnants of a vandalized laundromat. They wait for the cab under the bar’s awning. The one he walked into didn’t have an awning at all. When he looks at her, she smiles at him, a little soft, but appraising. She stands on her tiptoes to kiss his brand, one short peck. It makes him think oh, a very long oh that overtakes his thoughts as they duck into the shiny silver car.

Summary
Robin’s in love with the other Robins. Roman Sionis will do anything to destroy Red Hood. The Waynes think they’re protecting Tim’s mental health, but the only person who knows what he needs is Harley-freaking-Quinn. And to top it all off, someone’s framing Nightwing for serial homicide. Tim needs a fucking vacation…from life. But he’s never going to get it. He needs to go back home and get his head on straight, but he just might burn this place to the ground before he ever gets there.
Harley tilts her head so her cracked glasses fall down her nose. “I’m a therapist, Timmy, you can tell me anything.”
Tim of a few weeks earlier would have said something snippy like: What, where’s the entrance to the Batcave? But he’s not that Tim anymore. Something critical snapped like a suspension wire, and no one was there to keep the bridge from crashing into the water. “I don’t really want to commit crime,” he says, slowly, “but it’s the only thing—”
“—That feels like something,” she finishes. “Right?”
“Yeah. Like I’m a bad kid. And the whole world’s Daddy.”Kinda-sequel to it is possible to survive this, but not unaltered.

Summary
Something thumped against the window, like a bird against glass. A very large bird, Jason thought, as he reached for the butterfly knife Dick kept under the couch cushions. His breath caught. Whatever it was had left a massive red smear across the pane. As he prowled across the room, a taut grapple line became visible against the dark sky. Just past the ledge, Tim clung to the end of it. Some kind of bird.
“Fuck, kid.” Jason slammed open the window and pulled the line up. Tim flopped on the floor like a dead fish, and stayed there.
Two things became terrifically apparent:
One: Tim was covered in blood.
Two: He was hard.No one knows Dick and Jason are together. Tim finds out when he slams into their window in the middle of the night.

Summary
After a mysterious captor forces Jason to help Tim through a dose of sex pollen, he later finds that Tim doesn't quite hate him for it. When it's Jason's turn to suffer the pollen's effects, Tim is there to help.
“You’re salivating,” Tim said, and pulled off his socks. “So hungry for me, like a big dog,” his voice tipped into something lower, coarser. Completely nude, he hobbled forward on his knees. Everything in Jason ached to lunge, tear, consume. “Just tell me I’m good while you break me.”

Summary
After recovering from a traumatic injury on the job, Connor returns to the force, only to discover he has been partnered with a mental health assistance android. And, unfortunately for him, that android—one GV200—is an unlabeled deviant, exiled to therapy work after a violent incident. As Connor attempts to navigate his daily life alongside this new "partner," he discovers a web of seemingly unrelated cases that connect the trade of androids with red ice distribution. With next to no help from his superiors, he wades ever deeper into a dark world that ties his personal and professional lives in inexplicable, and unfortunate, ways. To survive this case and root out the source of the criminal network, Connor must rely on the family and friends he hides himself from, and ultimately form an unbreakable bond with his crude, but loyal, GV.

let me be your bunny by saltwater_oracle for N0t4llWh0W4nd3r

Summary
Nines works in a club as a bunny, where he gets to wear a cute little costume and chat up handsome customers. Now that he's allowed to do sex work in the club, he receives his first ever personal client, a man named Connor.
“Let me be your bunny,” Nines breathed helplessly. It was a stock line he learned in training, meant to invite clients into the private rooms or simply to flirt. It was the only thing that came to mind; he was already Connor’s bunny, that much was clear. He wrapped his arms around Connor’s shoulders and pressed his nose to his neck, rocking back onto his hand mindlessly. They were only fingers, but everything about Connor was magnetic, he wanted to be on him and full of him. “I want to be good for you. Please.”
