I’m verklempt. 😭😭😭😭 Um, thank you so much, @skylathescholar. This has definitely made my day.

Still in my Batfam brainrot, and I feel like this work has been submitted before, but the latest two chapters (at the time I write this) actually altered my brain chemistry, so here you are again! 

Northern Attitude (I Was Raised on Little Light) by @theskeptileptic 

Absolutely fantastic but heartbreaking Tim-centric fic. Please be mindful of the tags though! It’s amazing but deals with hard subjects. Not 18+ or NSFW, but still intense.

Thanks so much! <3

Hey, we support the Batfam brainrot here along with repeat recs (that just means that they're good!). And altering brain chemistry? That's a fanfic author GOAL right there! Also, the author's note has me giggling:

This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead.

You know, it happens. Thanks for the rec!

This is how I imagine Damian in my fic. But with fluffy cows.

If you would be so inclined, I'd really love to see Damian with sheep or goats.

I have in my head a little AU where Jason takes Damian from the league, and they live nomadically for a while in Central Asia. But also, just any context of sheep or goats and Damian would make my day, but also no pressure, just if this happens to vibe with you, too. I absolutely love your art, even when it's fandoms I don't even know anything about.
