  • Detente – MsSolo (series, E, 200k) “I am Damian al Ghul Wayne, Ibn al Xu'ffasch. My birthright demands I accept only that which I deserve.

That is the husband you think is my right?” Damian draws himself up to his full height, finally tall enough to look his grandfather in the eye. “Do you think so little of me, Grandfather?”
  • Show Me the Meaning (Of Being Lonely) – TimmyJaybird (E, 50k) It started with a drunken need for comfort- when Tim and Damian were broken at what felt like their worst. But what was reflex, could have been called an accident, turned into the exact thing they both never knew they truly needed.

  • The Wooing of Tim Drake – Titans_R_Us (M, 20k) Tim didn't stand a chance. Each action, each gift, each gesture was calculated for the best possible result.

Meanwhile Damian is quite pleased with how his courtship progresses.
  • Your Heart’s a Mess – chronicallyHaughty (M, 16k) Really, Damian thinks with a roll of his eyes, if Drake keeps frowning so much it’s going to ruin his handsome face. Once the thought registers properly he is so surprised by it that he recoils, making Drake look up at him in question. “Your face is hideous,” Damian blurts.
  • Everything About You Makes Me Scream – Skalidra (E, 12k) One night, Tim and Damian have an intoxicated, short encounter in the corner of a party. An encounter that Tim immediately pretends never happened, much to Damian's irritation. It may not have been a good idea (regardless of how good it felt at the time), but he's sure as hell not about to let Tim wipe it out of existence, at least not without a fight.
  • I Miss the Colorful Birds – SnowBlizzard (E, 11k) Damian's hit with Poison Ivy's latest pollen, making the only way to get relief from the pain to be close to Tim, this causes issues. Damian's confused, Tim knows and Bruce just wants to make a damn vaccine.

He feels his resolve slipping as she suggests online dating, saying that he doesn't even have to go on a date. She just wants him to set up a profile, talk to a few people, and see if anything clicks...really anything to get him away from working himself to death.

After all, how could the site possibly think that he and Damian Wayne were a perfect match?

  • Rewind and Remix – heartslogos (T, 36k, inc) Damian slowly puts his hand on the side of Timothy’s throat - a gesture familiar, unused, but never forgotten (This, he could not do to Jason. It did not seem right. It was Timothy’s gesture. There would be other ways to show - to show. But not this one. Never again this one.) “I am sorry.” Damian says, the words - although long practiced - come out hard and strained. Fragile. “It is a poor excuse to say that I tried. But I did.

Apparently, his parents stole it? From this guy’s grandpa, apparently, who sounds like a real character.
  • To Have and to Hold – Skalidra (E, 11k) Damian is Ra's' grandson, and has lived his whole life in the League. Tim is Robin, and one of Ra's' prospective heirs; competition that Damian is not willing to let be.

No, Jason had simply seen a hero about to die again in a godforsaken desert and no one seemed to be doing a damn thing about it. A winding, slow-burn exploration of Jason Todd & Roy Harper's relationships, primarily the one they seem to have with each other. Also, a lot of Selina Kyle because she's the GOAT.
  • Things We’ve Lost, and Things We’ve Gained – Skalidra (E, 83k) Instead of rejoining the Team when Nightwing offers him the chance, Roy decides to go solo as Arsenal. But that means he needs somewhere to stay off the grid, so he meets up with his clone - Red Arrow - who's been working mostly on his own for years. While there, the two get interrupted by a man who seems to already know Roy's clone, and introduces himself to Roy as 'Jason.' One argument later and Roy finds himself joining Jason on an assassination, and then realizes they have a lot more in common than he thought. Shitty family, for one. Maybe they can get along after all.
  • You’re Gonna Go Far Kid – thegreatestsun (T, 73k) Lian Harper is your average thirteen year old, she draws, she practices archery with her dad, and she spends time with her Uncle Jason, and his family. // Oh, also, that entire family might be some of the best and most famous vigilantes in the world, and no one bothered to tell her.

  • Laughter Lines – TimmyJaybird (E, 55k) Roy had fatherhood thrust upon him, and honestly, he's terrified. He doesn't know how to be a dad, he doesn't even know if he can be one.

Dick's kid brother who seems more than happy to spend every second he can with Roy and Lian. Who smiles when Roy laughs and looks genuinely happy when he's holding Lian. Who cares about Roy more than he should- and who Roy never wants to hurt. // And when he loses Jason, Roy is so sure he has. Sure he should have done something differently, somehow.

  • The Man Behind the Curtain – seitenaisei (T, 71k) Superman has never understood why Batman always refused help from the League, a confusion compounded by the fact that the caped crusader recently took on a brightly colored teenage sidekick. But when he happened to hear Robin's voice coming out of Dick Grayson's mouth on the news, Clark knew he couldn't help but investigate just what that meant. A character study of Bruce Wayne, the Batman, as told by Clark Kent as he sorts through the stories, the acting, and the news to find the real man behind the masks.

But Gotham's villains seem to have it in for Metropolis' Big Blue Boy Scout and Clark won't just wait around for answers. Batman might be the world’s greatest detective, but Clark Kent is one of the Daily Planet’s most tenacious reporters. This is definitely a job for Superman.
  • The Downsides of a Secret Identity – liodain (E, 42k) Bruce Wayne has taken a shine to Clark Kent, but Clark is more interested in the Bat of Gotham. The Bat, however, has it in for the Superman in a big way. Clark should probably have considered that before falling quite so hard.

  • do a dizzy dance (twirl around and take a chance) – Resacon1990 (T, 33k) When Clark turns back to Bruce, it’s with that ridiculously huge grin on his face, one that reaches his eyes and brightens his face, and Bruce is maybe starting to realise what just might be causing his flustering these days.

  • Get Over It – rotasha (T, 32k) Bruce needs to get over his inconvenient feelings for Superman and he meets an attractive reporter who he thinks can help him do just that. Little does he know…
  • and if sun comes – susiecarter (E, 30k) Post-JL: Steppenwolf isn't interested in accepting defeat and walking away.

Kent had posture like cooked spaghetti and wore his plaid like the strangest camouflage in history. Bruce was less than impressed.
  • You Were Always on My Mind – blue_jack (E, 17k) It wasn’t that Clark loved Bruce less, or admired him less, or had stopped being able to see all the things that had made him fall in love with Bruce in the first place. He just … didn’t want to be around him at the moment, found himself wondering what else Bruce would say to get his point across, what else he’d do to make sure Clark kept his distance.
  • Build Me A Place (we’ll call it home) – SpiritsFlame (G, 11k) Kryptonians are not human. It’s easy to forget, even for Clark. That being an alien means more than his powers. There are traits rooted into the DNA, coming out in the subconscious, until not even Clark notices. Kryptonians, among other things, build Bowers for their mates, beautiful homes to settle into. It’s more than a tradition, it’s a way of life. When Clark begins to redecorate, he doesn't know why it matters so much to him. And why it matters even more when Bruce doesn’t even care.
  • World’s Finest: The Company Picnic – WingFeathers (T, 8k) Inspired by Dick's idea, Clark organizes an out-of-uniform relaxed get-together for the League, and he and Diana have to convince Bruce to come as himself and let the League in on his secret identity. // But when Bruce gives in and comes in his street clothes, nothing goes as planned. No one is surprised when Batman doesn't show up for barbecue and baseball, but they are surprised when Clark brings his boyfriend, billionaire Bruce Wayne, and Bruce's ward. // And Hal? He's not just surprised. He's pissed.

Dick was a prideful creature, never allowing weakness, never giving into instincts. But there seemed to be one person, one unlikely person who took notice and offered Dick exactly what he needed. And for once there was no strings attached. Dick never would have thought that one night sitting next to Deathstroke the Terminator would lead to this, but Dick finds that in the end, he doesn't mind.
