Summary
“I bet,” Hob starts speaking, and he just knows he’s going to say something he might regret later, “that you’d find my food appealing. I’ve had so much time to perfect my recipes.”
“Really?” Dream’s got that glint in his eyes. He sits up, drawing his feet back and leaning in.
“Yes. One of these times I’ll invite you over, and I’ll cook for you,” Hob promises.
“Alright, Hob,” Dream says.
“Deal? Damn, I’ll have to clean my place for you,” Hob laughs.
◉◈◉◈◉
Death sets up her emotionally constipated brother and a peasant from the middle ages. Dream doesn’t care for peasants. Hob’s enjoying the benefits of immortality. Neither of them realize just how much they’ve been in each other’s lives. A slow-burn for the ages, featuring twink himbo Dream and a surprisingly emotionally mature Hob Gadling. Be forewarned: both of them are stupid--and in love.

Summary
“I couldn’t really help but pop by. And I do have to say, it is so good to finally meet you.” They drawled, lifting a hand adorned with sharp red nails and placing it gently on his arm.
“Uhm...” Hob mumbled intelligently. “Excuse me, but who are you?”
“Me?" Red lips streched impossibly wider. "You may call me Desire, my dear.”
Or: It really isn’t Desires fault that Dream is so easily ruffled. Especially when all they were doing was to flirt with a certain immortal.

Summary
It came sudden. His friends head snapped around, fanthomless eyes staring directly at him. One pale hand reached out and took hold of his arm, fingers as long as spider-legs which dug themselves painfully into his flesh.
“Find me.”
Hob awoke with sweat sticking to his brow, breath caugh in his lungs, with shaking hands he pushed back his fringe.
And stared.
There on his arm, just below his left elbow and clearly visible on his tan skin were indents, a row of half-moons, remnants from spindly fingers with long nails, leaving in their wake quickly fading marks.
What if Dream of the Endless had retained a small fraction of his power while being held captive by Roderick Burgess?
What if his power had been just enough to keep sending small messages to the only man that had ever dared to call him “friend”?- Language:

Dear Diary, Fuck You by x_starfry
Fandoms: Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (Webcomic), Batman and Robin (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, Robin: Son of Batman (Comics)
14 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Damian doesn’t understand that Bruce and his family do not expect him to be perfect.
How does a 13 year old reconcile a childhood built on discipline, punishment, and survival with a home where mistakes aren’t punished but… forgiven?
At Wayne Manor, failure doesn’t mean weakness it means learning. But Damian’s instincts don’t recognize that language yet. Every misstep still feels like it carries consequences. Every hesitation feels like danger. Even kindness can feel suspicious, like it’s hiding something sharper underneath.
Bruce tries to bridge the gap in quiet ways through patience more than lectures, through presence more than pressure. The others in the family approach Damian differently: some with humor, some with openness, some with an ease that unsettles him more than hostility ever did. They give him space he doesn’t know how to fill, and care he doesn’t quite trust yetSeries

Summary
“What’s our fearless leader doing out here, then?”
Tim’s left eye twitched violently, but he bravely turned around. There stood Conner, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest, half-grinning at Tim in such a smug manner that Tim had to refrain from punching him in the face. “I’m getting some air,” Tim answered shortly. “You can go back inside.”
“Whoa, there.” Conner held up his hands in a defensive posture, still grinning. “I just wanted to check on you. You look just as likely to throw yourself over the railing as rejoin the party.”
Tim had to begrudgingly concede that point because that idea was, in fact, incredibly tempting. He turned around so he didn’t have to see Conner’s face anymore. “If you stay out here any longer, I might.”
...
Or, the convoluted path Tim and Kon took to admit their feelings for each other.

Roy feels his soulmate die… on the same day as Jason Todd. He’s pretty sure it’s not a coincidence.
Now Jason is back, and Roy isn’t sure what to do about it. Does he even want a relationship with a newly-resurrected vigilante bent on revenge, especially now that he’s finally found some semblance of stability in his life? And if he does, how the hell is he supposed to go about it?

who says birthday wishes don't come true? by DSS1101
Fandoms: DCU (Comics), Batman - All Media Types
05 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
As far as birthdays go, Tim's 15th birthday ranks pretty high on his list, top three at least. Sure his parents skipped out last minute and Red Hood shot and tried to kill him, but that first part is normal and that second part means that Tim got to hang out with Jason Todd for his birthday.
Maybe he should reevaluate his rankings, because hanging out with his childhood hero definitely boosts this birthday to top two, and it's not two.

how easily we turn into those we hate by DSS1101

Summary
Tim goes to Titans Tower that day on Bruce's orders, to get away from Gotham and the Red Hood.
Jason goes to Titans Tower that day of his own volition, to get to Robin.
Neither of them expect their trip to San Francisco to end the way it does.
***
“This is because he won’t kill the Joker?” Tim’s voice is a hoarse whisper, so soft he’s not even sure Jason heard him. Tim lifts his head, a steely determination in his eyes, and glares straight down the barrel of the gun. Suddenly, he’s struck by the petty, vindictive urge to just be mean, and if he’s going to die anyway, he may as well give in.
“You’re no better than he is.” He spits out, jaw clenched. For the umpteenth time that night, there’s a fresh bloom of pain on Tim’s body, this time across his cheekbone as Jason’s gun comes down hard against it.
“Don’t you dare compare me to Batman.” There’s fury in Jason’s voice, and satisfaction curls in Tim’s gut.
“I’m not.”

Summary
In the Fire Nation, omegas don't rule. Zuko learned this as a child: his worth lay in what he could prove, not in who he was. He first experienced his sexuality at fifteen, locked away on a ship, and from then on, he learned to hide his nature as if it were just another scar. Then came the Avatar, friends he never asked for, and Sokka: an alpha who one day tossed him a handful of suppressants, saying, "I thought you might want some," as if taking care of Zuko were the most natural thing in the world.

Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines by SilverSkiesAtMidnight
Fandoms: DCU (Comics), Batman - All Media Types
23 Dec 2021

Summary
He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.
He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.
She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”
And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

Trust Fall (Doubt You'll Catch Me) by Lovechraft
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)
26 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
It sucked that Tim couldn't trust his family. They had either been his abusers or bystanders, but even when he tried to take himself off their hands, they clung to him like a sticky residue. Trapped, he felt like a mouse beneath a cat's paw, and he knew the only escape would be a clean-cut break with no room for interpretion.
Somehow, they made room for interpretation.
“Bruce,” Tim rasped, his discarded Red Robin suit a thousand pound weight in his hands, clean and ready to go in its case. “You don’t even *like* me.”
The truth dangled between them like a spider’s web clinging to separate walls.To no one’s shock, Batman said nothing. The only sounds in the cave were the shuffling of bats and Tim’s bike rumbling softly at the entrance, waiting patiently for him to make his escape.

Summary
Jason gets it, gets the space between them, the way Red Robin keeps his distance. Of all the ways Jason fucked up when he first got back to Gotham, Pit-mad, green-tinted, and chock-full of Talia’s half-truths, breaking into the Tower and nearly killing a kid is the one he regrets the most. Dick or B probably would say something pointed about regretting committing multiple homicides and putting heads in duffel bags, but Jason doesn’t regret any of those deaths one bit. Maybe he’d choose a different duffel bag, but that’s about it.
OR
The one where Oracle calls Red Hood and Red Robin in to deal with a Crane-shaped incident at the docks, a brand new strain of fear toxin is released, and Jason is horrified to discover that he’s NOT Tim’s worst fear.
