Summary
In which Batman’s cape may or may not be bigger on the inside, contains many sandwiches, creates more problems than it solves, and is the constant delight of his children.
*
‘We played hide and seek in the cave once and Tim had the bright idea of hiding in the Cape Void,’ Dick said, smiling slightly evilly at him.
‘Yeah, that was a weird couple of days. The void demons are nice, though,’ Tim added casually.
‘What?’ everyone said at once, heads snapping towards him.
*
(A series of stories detailing the problems that occur when several lightly insane vigilantes have access to an unexplainable void.)

Summary
There is an enormous container ship called the Ever Given stuck in the Suez Canal. Young Justice is on the case. During their short adventure, they also: make a massive sand sculpture, enjoy some fanfiction, and unblock the Suez Canal. Not in that order.
*
‘I am thinking,’ Tim said, with extreme calm, ‘that you have made something that looks like a very large penis when viewed from above.’‘It’s a dick and balls, yeah,’ Bart said without embarrassment. ‘It’s poetic! I’m ending the journey like it started.’
*
‘Did you-’ Dick began, laughing so hard he couldn’t breathe, ‘did you really tell him to "at least make the shaft bigger”? Bart told Wally, and he told me but I have to know if it’s true, Tim. My life depends on it.’ -

Summary
‘Put the gun down, Hood,’ came the dark, gravelly voice.
Jason calmly drew his other pistol.
‘Hood,’ the voice said, a slight warning in its tone.
He flicked both safeties off.
‘Jason. Please.’
*
'The choice is yours, Bruce Wayne. Who are you going to be? Batman, or the man I once thought was my father? Are you the Dark Knight, or the dad I begged for as I died?’
*
(Bruce says something unforgivable to Jason. His siblings come to his aid. The real question is: does Bruce deserve another chance?)

Summary
It was in his name. Ever Given. He gave and he gave and now he had nothing left. Just this once, could he take?
-
(Over time, however, he had hoped, even if their love was forbidden. The light that sparkled on his blue waters hid depths both watery and intellectual. Suez was clever, too. Perfect in every way. Too good for Ever Given.)
-
(Suez's waters splashed against his bow. 'How bold, Ever, to ram yourself in my banks like that!' Ever Given began to blush and protest, but Suez cut him off with another musical laugh. 'Someone might think we were... lovers.')[I literally can't stand myself I'm so sorry. This is funny as hell, though.]

Summary
‘Right,’ Tim said, in the voice he used on missions, ‘we’re going to have to call in an expert.’
*
‘Hey guys!’ Dick said, voice slightly crackly over Tim’s phone speakers. ‘What’s up? I’m not supposed to visit until tomorrow - is something wrong?’
-
Something is seriously not right with Bruce. They’re a family of detectives and no one can figure it out. It’s kind of embarrassing.They’re all starting to get worried.

(Sometimes, Bruce needs a hug.) -

Summary
Diana realised with a jolt that none of them had actually asked him how he knew Batman. And she was just as curious as the rest of them about the “we”. It implied Batman worked with more people. ‘How did you come to know Batman? Does he have any other friends?’
His mouth fell open, and he snorted, which evolved into full-out laughter. ‘I’m sorry. Oh my god - friends?’
Diana felt a little hurt on Batman’s behalf. ‘Are you not his friend?'
He shook his head. ‘Did B really not say anything? I’m hurt. No, I’m not his friend. I’m his son.’
(An AU where the Justice League haven't met any of Bruce's kids.)

Summary
‘Doesn’t matter if you forgive me, baby bird, because I won’t ever forgive myself.’
He ran his hand through his hair, clutching at it desperately. ‘But I’m so glad you do. You shouldn’t, but you do, and I will be grateful for it until the day I die. And if I claw my way out of another grave, I will be grateful then as well.’
He took one long, steadying breath. ‘Anyway. You want ketchup or mustard?’
‘What?’ Tim said.
‘We’re getting hot dogs now. I’m paying. I need a way to avoid my emotions for a while. Ketchup or mustard?’
-
Eucatastrophe (noun): a sudden happy ending.
[This fic is WILDLY non-canon and just for fun lol. Maybe not so in character but I don't like to delete fics so here it is anyway <3]
