Maiden of the Melusine - Ch.3 Snippet
“You!” she cried, pointing—
Only to stand there utterly speechless, chest heaving as she met the nixa’s formidable form once more. The full moon was gone and so fled the marked boldness that had so thoroughly caused such mischief in the first place. Instead, she stood feeling dainty and frail under his indomitable regard, small and fangless in comparison to his bestial might and wicked talons. The markings and patterns she had been so beguiled and admiring the night before, now looked like warpaint to her daylit eyes.
Warning marks of danger. Poison. Serpent…
She sucked in a breath… Hesitant.
“Me?” he goaded in that sinful voice of his, turning her insides to goo. Tilting his head coquettishly, an easy smile curled his lips just enough to show a hint of fang, making him appear all the more handsome and dangerous. “What of me, melusine? Is it that you’ve discovered your undying love for me in my time away?”
Juniper mouthed at the air for a moment, cheeks warming as he quirked a brow, amused at her behalf. He was the same as ever, a flirtatious and devilish creature that certainly strove to vex her. Why she ever thought differently, she didn’t know. “Get off my roof,” she said finally, planting her hands on her hips and heating further when he marked the motion with his eyes, the pupils narrowing.
“You didn’t deny it,” he teased.

The Bat-Adoption Papers are literal Magic Contracts
So! In the Deified Batman AU (the AU where the Belief of the peoples of Gotham accidentally Ascended Batman to minor godhood), the Bat Adoption Papers would be a fun concept.
Batman is a God of The Night, Fear, and Protection. Specifically, the protection of Children, which is one of his biggest motivators. Meaning, it's a big part of his Divine Domain.
So when he, a God of Protection and Children, adopts his own Child? It's kind of a big deal.
His Adoption Papers basically become Magical Contracts that claim Dick to him as his own Son, basically turning Dick into a Demigod by the fact that he is the Son of a God.
Then each time Batman adopts a kid, they become a Demigod as well. Maybe after enough time, and after they forge their own Identities, they could become Minor Gods of their own? Idk, fun idea
Why do I bring this up?
Well, when Danny eventually joins the JLA, and runs into Batman, all he sees in a God of the Night, who takes one look at him, and then pulls out a Magical Binding Contract from his Belt.
Needless to say, he books it.
