Summary
The thing about a selkie's coat was that it was easily identifiable. Every spot, every whorl, every strand of fur marked it out as belonging to one individual, to the piece of their soul they could shed at will. Even disguised as human clothing, hidden behind layers of protective magic, it was still clear to see who the coat belonged to. The soft, downy fur hidden behind cotton, the speckles veiled with leather, fluffy white fur obscured by linen. It was still clear whose coat was whose, whose soul it was hanging on the peg, on the back of a kitchen chair.
Which is why Jason knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that that was his mother's coat.
That the coat belonged to Catherine Todd.
And it was being worn by a stranger.

Summary
"You get to forget about all your worries. Something something team bonding. Gossip and girl talk. Et cetera, et cetera."
Jason's brow furrows harder, this time with a judgemental cast. Out loud, he says, "Is that your whole argument?"
"Pretty convincing, right?" Steph says, waggling her eyebrows. Jason scoffs. "Listen, if you want to head out, you can. I get it, it's been a long fucking night. But you did me a favor and pitched in and fought some demons or whatever, so the least I can do in return is booze you up."
She certainly couldn't blame him for leaving—fighting demons tends to sap your social battery. But then again, he didn't have to follow her back to her apartment. He's had every opportunity to call it quits and dip, but he's still here. He's still willing to be around her. That probably counts for something.
Jason's mouth twists and pinches in on itself. Finally, he sighs, holds up a finger, and says, "One glass. Then I'm going home to take a fucking shower and crash."
***
It actually ends up being more like sixteen.

Summary
Jason knows hypervigilance when he sees it. To the untrained eye it surely looks like the kid isn’t focusing on anything but the ground before him, but his attention is stretching out across the entire courtyard—Jason would bet on it. He can see it in the way his head cocks just the slightest bit toward every sound and every movement, the way his foot shifts almost too minutely to see any time someone moves too quickly, moving back into the beginning of what Jason knows will turn into a fighting pose if he finishes through with it. Some kind of guard, maybe? Even though he can’t be more than fucking twelve. Jason can’t imagine what a kid would be doing here.
More important than any of that, rank and relations aside…the boy’s eyes are a green bright enough that Jason can see the color from across the courtyard.
It's a very distinct green. Unnatural.
The only people he's ever seen with it are Ra's and himself.
And it isn’t genetic.
Heir or not, it means the boy must be very valuable to Ra's. He doesn't put just anyone in the Pit.

Summary
Damian couldn’t help but flinch and let out a surprised gasp. He turned around carefully to meet the expressionless helmet of the Red Hood.
“Ah, sorry, didn’t mean to frighten ya” the crime lord said, Crime Alley accent thick. “Should have known better than to sneak up on an Alley kid.”
There was not enough light for Hood to see his face, and in the darkness Damian resembled any other street kid.--
Or Damian disregard his father's orders and goes in Crime Alley to feed the stray cats. He meets Gotham's newest crime lord: the Red Hood.

Summary
Tim was always holding his breath. Waiting. Filled with anticipation.
He'd spent most of his childhood that way, alone in Drake Manor hoping his parents would come home soon, crouched behind air conditioning units on top of buildings for the bats to fly by, sitting at a school desk watching the clock more sharply than paying attention to a teacher, clipping film to clothesline to dry and hoping he'd gotten a good shot. So Tim had made a game of it. He'd try to hold his breath for as long as he could while completing a task, just to see how far he could get.
It was easy for simple things, like doing dishes or math problems. It was much, much harder for others. But some things? Some things it made exquisite.

Summary
Seven months on the run since his escape from Arkham, Jason makes the impulsive decision to go back home. A move that leaves his ex-family in panic as they try to figure out if his peace offers are genuine, how likely he is to shoot them, and how to undo generational trauma.
Also, there are the hallucinations that keep following him, but that's probably normal. No one ever said vigilantes had to be well-adjusted.

Summary
Whoever we were before this island is gone.
The memories of every survivor who woke up are gone, leaving them with nothing but their name.
But the body remembers what the mind can't.
Instinct.
Muscle memory.
The particular way each of them moves toward danger instead of away from it.
The island isn't empty. Rescue isn't coming. And something has been watching them since they washed ashore.
Bruce looked at the faces he knew were supposed to be important to him but couldn't remember and made the only call that mattered.
"Whoever we were before the island doesn't matter anymore. We just have to do what we need to survive."

Everyone hates a tall child by ManonBlackbeak
Fandoms: DCU, DCU (Comics), Batman - All Media Types

Summary
There is a scar running down his face, starting from the corner of his left eye down towards his mouth and then cutting across his chin. Bruce imagines it makes his rare smiles sharper, more menacing, always with a slight downward tilt.
His gaze stays on his eyes. God, those eyes. They anger him more than anything. How dare this man wear them. Right now, with no hint of green present, they are exactly like they had been all these years ago. A sky-born blue caged in a beautiful almond shape. They used to be so expressive… these eyes cried and laughed and screamed so loudly, one did not have to look anywhere else to gaze deep inside his son’s soul. They are exactly the same now.
Bruce forces himself to take a breath. “Hello Jason” he says and nods at him. Jason keeps looking at him as if trying to uncover a deep secret- no that is not true. He looks at him as if he has already found it and wishes he hadn't. He does not say anything.
Set throughout the months after the confrontation with the Joker. Bruce does not believe that this older, taller Jason is the son he lost. Everyone grieves differently, some people grieve forever.

Summary
Tim wasn't expecting that the private security system he'd installed in his bedroom would catch him one revived Jason Todd, but he's glad he installed it and kept it separate from the Tower's mainframe.
A revived Jason Todd would be all well and good for everyone Bat-associated, but it appears that the Jason Todd he's found is missing some core memories, and hates both Batman and Robin.
Well, he's kept Batman alive for this long, surely he can jog Jason's memory, and make some new associations too.
Or:
Tim captures Jason at Titan's tower and proceeds to use pleasure to bring him back into the fold.Bookmarked by step_X

Supernatural ( or mob) Batfamily Stories by Covenyt2950, Legolin3791
Fandom Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, Batman - Fandom, DCU (Comics)
02 Mar 2026
Summary
I thought of trying something new, so this will be a series of one-shots and long stories, and they will all either happen in a supernatural AU or a mob AU. Maybe both. What creature each of the members of the Batfamily will be, and the supernatural rules will depend on the plot of the story, so they can differ.
Hope you guys enjoy it!- Words:

Summary
Bruce was right about one thing, Jason figures in the wake of it. Drake is by far the better Robin.
Tim’s been missing three days when Joker’s found dead on a service road in Amusement Mile. It’s sloppy. It stinks of desperation. Bruce never explicitly taught them how to dispose of a body but all of them know. Jason thinks about that.
He wonders if Bruce would’ve been more forgiving if Drake never let him find out. He wonders if Drake left it there on purpose. Accountability for his guilt, maybe, the kind of trail Bruce would’ve taught him to leave.
Drake’s still missing as far as he can tell. Bruce is tearing through Gotham every night with the kind of brutal efficiency nightmares are made of. And Drake’s still missing.
Or, Jason doesn’t have any brothers. Dick doesn’t count. Tim definitely doesn’t count.
