[tired-but-willing]

Absolutely wild to me how people will write Duke out of stories and give bits of his character to other members of the Batfamily. I've seen this happen the MOST with Tim. And it's not a crime to write a fic without Duke in it— not every piece of writing needs every member of the Batfamily in it— but come on. Sometimes it's so painfully obvious that authors are only excluding him.

Anyways <3 please comment or reblog with your favorite Duke Thomas fics so I can kiss you

[two-sibyls-tall]

If u & ur homies aren’t recommending fics to each other & then having conversations like this,, are you even homies?

[ifyoucandaniel]

exactly one person asked and i’ve been DYING to make this, so here are all of my favorite long batman fanfics in general and for new readers @twisted-tales-told :)

cards on the table by @wesslan ! 69k, completed. this is one of my all time favorite fanfictions, it’s so funny and tim is a mastermind genius and a little liar <3 he basically pretends to be a fortune teller and gives scarily good predictions and advice by stalking the upper class and eventually gets involved with the batfam and has to maintain his lies while dealing with his issues :) 10/10, very found family, good angst, so much lying

Dark Matter by @mysterycyclone , 221k, ongoing. this is a batman fanfic rec, of course my bbg dark matter is going to be here <3 this is a MCUxDCU crossover where after infinity war (spoilers for that if you haven’t seen it!) peter parker gets sent to the DCU dimension with part of the soul stone and basically is haunted by the ghosts of the avengers while trying to survive in gotham and get back to his dimension. this is so well written i’ve read it at least three times, it’s still ongoing but trust me it is SO GOOD. i can’t properly describe it, but if you like spider-man and you are interested in batman, you’ll love.

Red is the Color of Sinners by @bluelotuswrites , series, 120k, ongoing, M. i want you to look me in my eyes when i tell you this is my favorite series on ao3. it is set after under the red hood and daredevil 3 where jason and matt meet in a church after jason loses his ability to speak following the events of UTRH. they keep running into each other both as matt and daredevil and eventually jason begins helping matt out with injuries and tech. it’s not finished yet, but there is something so compelling about their dynamic in this series as well as jason’s overall character and how he is portrayed. i’m a sucker for mute jason after UTRH and this series does so well giving him a fresh start and a place away from gotham to heal and build relationships. i cannot recommend enough.

buy back the secrets by @vinelark , 71k, ongoing, T. THIS!!! oh my god, so this is a timkon fic where kon still doesn’t know tim’s civilian identity, but whenever he’s in trouble tim calls for superboy which leads to them meeting without kon knowing. shenanigans ensure when kon starts spending more time with tim! it’s still ongoing but the author is currently working on the next part and it is so so worth the wait. chapter 4 ends on a cliffhanger though so be warned :))

Sales People Know (listening is the most important part) by Mayhem10, 77k, completed, T. this has the coolest urban magical realism ever. tim basically runs this magic shop that shows up places and people who need something find it in his shop :) it’s kinda a slow burn found family fic with magic themes and a smidge of angst!

Retrograde Motion by Lysical, 112k, completed, T. this is best de-aged kid fic ever. jason gets turned into a 7 year old and basically the outlaws, artemis and biz, join forces with the batfam to take care of him. but trust me when i say this is worth your time, it might sound tropey but in the best way possible!! and jason’s relationship with artemis is sooo important to me in this!

Hand in Unloveable Hand (a chokehold) by britishparty, 54k, completed, M. this is one of the best psychological torture/grooming fics i’ve ever read. pretty much what if while our taking photos of batman and robin, little tim gets kidnapped and black mask gets his hands on him and decides he’s the perfect size for a protege. years of psychological abuse and insane mind games ensue. also tim is a Badass™️

If He Had Come by bronwe_iris, 45k, completed, T. so i’m a little freak and i love the angst of arkham knight jason, but more specifically the aus where bruce saves jason before he becomes the arkham knight! this is an au where bruce finds jason and saves him from the joker after 9 months of torture and brings him home. focuses on his healing mentally and physically and rebuilding his relationship with his family

Banshee in a Well by liverobinreaction (bugbee), 43k, completed, T. veeeery good angst. basically what if tim couldn’t die? 43k of tim drake whump where he just dies a bajillion times and eventually his family notices <3

The Birds: Hatching a Family by Oceanera12, 81k, completed, T. this is like “what if the batkids weren’t adopted by bruce, but instead they were all foster siblings who can’t seem to stay out of gotham at night and batman happens to find them and decides obviously he can’t leave these kids to their own business, he has to stick his nose in it” and there’s some angst and heaps of found family

The Hellblazer’s Apprentice by @bluelotuswrites, 29k, ongoing, M. what can i say, im a simple woman, i love to see jason with literally any older male mentor :) basically in UTRH what if he took up an apprenticeship under constantine to learn magic to piss off batman! so good, i really love constantine so seeing him and jason interact in a long fic is so good. also ALL BLADES JASON TODD SAVE ME… ALL BLADES JASON TODD-

something in the static by bonerot19, 101k, ongoing series with three main completed works, T. this is a jason centric series where jason still lives in crime alley with his mom and dad and never stole the batmobile tires. it follows his life in crime alley with an addict mom and an abusive dad and one night when his dad is whaling on him nightwing finds him and the bats just can’t seem to leave him alone after that. steph is his neighbor and best friend also and their relationship is so good. this is a “what if jason took a different way home to the wayne’s” fic series and i love it so much <3

catch the asteroids that come your way by ThePackWantsTheD, 54k, completed, T. i don’t read a lot of ships in the batman fandom i’m sorry, but this kyle/jason one is sooo lovely. basically the two of them growing up together and falling in love and then dealing with the aftermath of A Death in the Family and finding each other again :) really sweet and nice!

hope you find something you like! i realized the majority of these are tim or jason centric, and i love them all dearly, but if anyone has any recs for long fics focusing on any of the other batkids lmk! and any other recs in general, i am a fiend for new fics

[liverobinreaction]

Do you have any fic recs that encapsulate the sheer unhinged-ness of Tim? I just want fics where Tim is his most authentic gremlin self.

Thanks!

I most certainly do!!! I put a few in this ask here, but I’ve also created a fic collection on ao3 where I collect stories where Tim is just. Absolutely unhinged. If you want specific recommendations, then I’ll give you my top five!

Gotta Roll With The Curveballs by Just_A_Poor_Boy - I know I’ve rec’d this before, but I cannot understate just how unhinged Tim is in this fic. It’s from Duke’s perspective who just. Gets to know the true extent of Tim’s insanity. It’s incredible. It’s hilarious. Go read it immediately.

Having A Me Party by JpegDotJpeg - Less funny and more angsty, but Tim is still unhinged here. As a birthday tradition, he consumes a small amount of drugs if no-one remembers his birthday. It is so fucking extra and heartwrenching of him. It is also absolutely deranged behaviour.

The Moon Will Sing A Song For Me (I love you like the sun) by Ick_arus (@batposts here on tumblr) - Introducing a baby Tim who blackmails Dick into adopting him. Like. Do I have to say anything else. He’s a little gremlin child and way too smart for his own good, which results in him just saying the most insane shit ever. I love it.

Home Alone: Christmas At Titans Tower by Miss_Lazy_Tuesday - Another feral baby!Tim fic where he gets deaged just before Jason attacks. Cue Home Alone style traps and shenanigans. It’s so funny and really cute at the end!

And finally:

The blackbird singing in the dead of night series by britishparty - This is a deliciously dark series where it tackles the what if question of Tim catching the attention of Black Mask while he was following the Bats. Cue a decade of trauma, ruthless behaviour, and Tim being a mad genius. If you’re interested in a borderline anti-hero, if not villain Tim, then this is an excellent fic for you to read.

I hope you enjoy these rec’s, and make sure to give the authors some love!!!

Chat Noir Has a Sidekick

Chat Noir Has a Sidekick by britishparty

Chat Noir is supposed to have a Ladybug. Adrien knows this. He knows that Paris needs a Ladybug.

Chat can fight the hero's fight, but he'll never be a Ladybug.

Neither will Marinette, but one day Chat Noir discovers that she can fight the hero's fight, too. With her beside him, things seem like they're on the up and up, and maybe the need for a Ladybug isn't as dire as he thought.

Until they're just a bit too unlucky, and then Chat can't do it alone anymore.

it’s the exodus

alright pals, since it seems good ol' staff has finally decided it's time for this platform to kick the bucket, I'm going to drop a list of alternate places to find me/my work.

I'm not abandoning tumblr, as a note, but I know other folks may be and if people are looking for other places, you can find me at any of the following places. They're listed in order of current importance/content:

ArchiveOfOurOwn (britishparty): My fandom-related works get posted here, but note of them will probably still be going up on Tumblr when I can manage.

Pillowfort.io (bumblecat): It's new and empty, but odds are I'll be either cross-posting between tumblr and here, or switching entirely if this hellsite becomes too possessed to handle. Most of my original pieces will probably wind up here.

Twitter (bumblecat1): Odds are I won't be around here a ton, but I'll still pop in every once in a while.

Dreamwidth (bumblecat): It's empty right now, but will be getting used as an archive and a cross-posting location with Ao3. It will possibly share original content with fandom works.
