Summary
Robin, 18 — a few years younger than Bruce had envisioned going for, even for a random anonymous hook-up.
And yet…
And yet, the accompanying side profile has Bruce sitting up and inexplicably breaking out in a dry sweat. Lethally sharp cheekbones, half a sparkly, mischievous smile and eight words that make his balls twitch: acrobat in the streets, contortionist in the sheets
He swipes right.

Summary
In an alternate universe where neither of them lose their parents, high-flying tech exec Bruce Wayne (32) and college freshman Dick Grayson (18) hook up, have lots of fun sex
that may or may not include roleplaying Bruce’s secret fantasies of being a cape-and-cowled vigilante, fall in love, and somehow slide into a legit, ride-or-die romantic partnership by the time Dick graduates college a few years later.… Which is exactly when Bruce’s ex-girlfriend, Talia al Ghul, waltzes into their lives with a six-year-old boy that she claims is Bruce’s biological son, Damian.

Summary
After Damian is badly hurt, and Talia berates Dick for it, Dick retreats to Bludhaven and falls into a low-key depressive spiral. Bruce eventually turns up. They talk, among other things. A handkerchief is involved.
***
An unhinged response to/processing of these comics that really tested me as someone who believes so much in Dick Grayson’s importance to Batman:
“You're not [Damian’s] family. You're not anyone's family, Grayson.” (Talia in Batman: Urban Legends #20, “My Son”)
“If I were to choose a canvas on which to build a perfect partner, it would look like Harper Row.” (Bruce in Batman & Robin Eternal #21)

New 52 by klose

08 Sep 2025
Summary
Fics set in the New 52 -- or at any rate, fics making heavy reference to arcs such as The Court of Owls and Death Of The Family, and to the altered continuity of that time period.
These don't technically take place in the same internal fic universe, because there are AUs and whatnot, but some of the fics do reference the others. I would also say I was largely informed by the same headcanons during the writing process!

Summary
“Lan Huan, did you drink or eat something strange?” Meng Yao asks warily.
“Strange?” Lan Huan repeats, at far too great a volume. “Well, your friend Xue Yang gave me some tea—”
“What?”
“He called it a Long Island Iced tea!"(Featuring drunk Lan Xichen fireman-carrying Meng Yao out of an uncomfortable Jin family event)
