    Summary

    In hindsight, Dick shouldn’t have begun impersonating Bruce for Justice League meetings.

    Yes, Bruce had given Dick permission to go in his place as a proxy, but really, it was his fault for assuming that Dick was going to attend as Nightwing. But then Jason found out, and then Tim joined in, then Steph, Cass and Damian, but hell, what else was he supposed to do? Leave them out of the most elaborate hoax in Robin history?

    At first it was hilarious, one-upping the core members of the JL, but it’s been years and they’re all in too deep now.

    Or; a Batfamily reveal fic with a twist

    Summary

    Irina had put on her first pair of skates at age six. The boots had to be shared with both her closest-in-age sisters, but Irina could be willful when she wanted to be, and by age eight, Nadia and Katya aren’t willing to fight her for the privilege of ice time anymore. By age nine, people in town were noticing the way Irina cut through the ice, how fast she could spin, how high she could jump. By age ten, the owner of the rink approached her.

    Fitness was the state religion in the Soviet Union, Papa used to say. Mama hated that; religion was religion, she’d huff. Irina had often thought of her mother as a product of a world that was dying. Still, she had still dutifully gone to Divine Liturgy on Sundays with the whole family, wearing starched clothes and sitting silently in the pews. Irina believes in God both as a habit and a conviction. She always loved church, loved the music and the ritual and the burning candles. But she had always loved being on the ice more. Even at a young age, Irina understood her body as a tool; something that could take her somewhere else.

    Or, an Irina lives AU. An exploration of boys and their mothers.

    Summary

    “Luch-Shane,” Ilya says, catching himself only at the last moment before he breaks their no pet names in the workplace rule. “Why don’t you get some air, yes? We can-”

    Shane’s anxiety takes a quick backseat to annoyance once more, at being handled like a child instead of a grown man, like he hasn’t been doing this just as long as Ilya, like he needs someone to tell him when to take a break.

    Like he deserved to have everything taken away from him because he couldn’t handle it to start with.

    “I’m fine,” he says, voice icy.

    The step he takes away is too big, farther than he meant to get from Ilya’s side, and the air between them feels both charged and icy.

    He isn’t quite bold enough to try and fix it.

    (shane is married and on the same team as his husband) (and all it cost him was his whole career and the life he spent years building beforehand) (but it's fine, really) (it's all so very, very fucking fine)

    Summary

    HARRIS Fun fact: by the time someone has done a Big Year, they've been birdwatching for 24 years on average. How long have you been birdwatching?

    ILYA There are loons that live at the cottage. I have seen them many times.

    Cut to: footage of loons diving and surfacing on a lake.

    ILYA They are not scary at all.

    Cut to: footage of Ilya jumping at the sound of a loon call and yelling for Shane.

    ---

    Or: Shane and Ilya attempt a Big Year of birdwatching across Canada and film it to raise money for the Irina Foundation. It goes about as you'd expect.
