Title: Dangerous (the What Have You Done remix)
Fandom: Batman Nolanverse
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,425
Characters/Pairings: Tim, Batman
Author’s notes: Written for Tyleet as part of that remix thing. The original is here. This story was betaed by Kernezelda and Gran Sigma, who I thank profoundly. It also owes something of a debt to D. Benway's In The Blood, which I had best acknowledge here instead of in the comments.
Summary: The son of Batman and the Joker has been psychologically tested since childhood. It doesn't work.

( Tim cried like a much younger boy and no matter how his mother soothed him, he couldn't stop the wracking sobs from spinning his tiny body on the floor. She grew fearful, as if it were her responsibility to deal with precisely this and now it was here and she could do nothing. )

solitarysputnik asked for Tim/Misfit in a meme. Huzzah:



The girl’s costume was stupid. Tim didn’t like to think those things, but she had a jean skirt and a T-shirt and what looked like a blanket tied around her neck. You could get away with that, or underwear on the outside, if you were invincible, but this was the worst thing to happen to superhero hero fashion since Dick grew a mullet.

“Hey, Misty.”

Misfit flailed in mid-air and stopped shouting whatever she’d been shouting (“Park Guinness”?) to get tangled up in a clothesline.

“Did you just call me Misty?” she asked through a pair of heart-covered boxers.

“Misfit seemed a little mean.”

“Yeah, well Robin seems a little stupid!”

“I’m not the one with the onesie on my sneaker.”

Misfit shook it off. “You’re just jealous that I’m Oracle’s personal apprentice and you have to spend all your time in a smelly cave with Batman!”

“It doesn’t smell!”

Misfit pulled herself onto a fire escape. Unsurprisingly, when she looked up, Robin was there

“I was going to tell you about Poison Ivy’s kissing fever before I got sidetracked by you being a crazy lady, but maybe I’ll go do something more important, like darn my ninja socks.”

“Kissing fever? What kissing—“ Misfit licked her lips. “My, Robin, I just noticed how… petite you are. You’re like a travel-sized version of Nightwing who Miss Gordon won’t shoot me for kissing!”

“Kissing? Oh no, the virus!”

But it was too late.

Somewhere, Ivy laughed diabolically. The kissing fever may not have been the most villainous plan, but it had gotten Harley to agree to watching Bend It Like Beckham with her, which made it all worthwhile.

Title: Too Many Valentines!
Fandom: Young Justice/Teen Titans
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,360
Characters/Pairings: Tim/Steph, Kon, Bart, Cass, and the JLI.
Summary: Steph is usually okay with the amount of Valentines Robin gets, but not when one of them is from Cass!

( How many people with double initials do you know? And with a name like Cass? There’s only one explanation. Batgirl is trying to steal my boyfriend! )

Title: The History of the DC Universe (as told by chibis) Part 2: A Booboo In The Family.
Fandom: Batman
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,566
Characters/Pairings: Chibi!Batman, Chibi!Robin, Chibi!Joker, Chibi!Two-Face
Timeline: Inspired by Superman/Batman 51 (the chibi issue) and AIM conversation with shananagin. Sequel to Part 1 (clearly)
Summary: After the Joker throws a snowball with a rock in it at Jason, Tim makes friends with Bruce. But after Harvey gets paint on his face and refuses to take a bath to wash it off, will the new Batman and Robin be able to stop his reign of meanness?

( Bruce was writing on a chalkboard when Tim found him. He’d drawn a stick figure, one half of its round face simple green slate, the other half covered with swirls of chalk. )

Title: In From The Cold
Fandom: Batman
Rating: PG
Word Count: 5,459
Timeline: The new Batgirl mini. I saw scans of it and my friends’ reactions and basically said to myself “Yeahhhh… this needs more hugging.”
Characters/Pairings: Cass, Tim, Steph, Bruce, Dick, Barbara, implied Tim/Cass/Steph and Dick/Babs.
Summary: For Cass, the road to redemption is paved by people she knows.

( It was easy for her to talk now. Just hard to know what to say. )

Title: Kissing
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Cass, Barbara, Dinah, Batman, Tim/Steph
Word Count: 1,445
Summary: Cass's investigation leads her to a conclusion that makes perfect sense... to her.

( Cass investigates life. She has nothing else to investigate. When she finds a criminal case, she has orders to bring it to someone other than Steph for supervision. This is because she lacks “context” and “experience.” Investigating life gives her both. )

Title: The Dead Talk Back (And Back And Back And Back)
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Bruce Wayne, Stephanie Brown, Tim Drake
Warning: Angst
Word Count: 1,514
Summary: In the end, Stephanie was a good soldier. Batman will remember her. But the war goes on.

( From the cave, Bruce directed Tim’s flight like a falconer with a hawk. Robin flew straighter now, even if he acted like his wings were clipped. Stephanie, Jack Drake, the clone… they were distractions. “Wow, that’s dark, even for you,” Steph said, her feet up on the console. )
