#red robin fic

[river-bottom-nightmare]

here's the thing: the average temperature for gotham is 60 degrees fahrenheit. in the summer, it can fight its way up to 80 degrees, chip-nailed and vicious, but more often than not, it contents to float around 40 degrees.

every time superboy flies into gotham, pointed feet landing on the paved rooftop without a sound, eyes fixed on robin and robin only, he's hit with a wave of cold immediately. shoulders hunched in his patched leather jacket, hands curled into his fingerless gloves, a tremble rocking through his muscled frame as he bounces over to robin's side. he's shivering, and he isn't supposed to be in gotham, but superboy has a habit of breaking a couple rules for robin.

"i thought you were supposed to be half superman, right superboy?" robin says. superboy wouldn't be able to see his raised eyebrow under his domino, lead-lined as it was, but it was the principle of the thing, really.

superboy shoulder-checks robin lightly, and it's like a burning hearth, like smoke curling up from his lips. robin rocks backward to keep from leaning into him "shut up. i get power from the sun, i know you know that, and you can't see shit in gotham." robin just snickers at superboy's outrage, then at the other boy's dirty look, nots very gravely as he gestures to continue.

"besides," kon says, suddenly seeming off-kilter, a whisper, a fraction more awkward, "it's just kon right now. not superboy." his eyes bore into robin's white lenses, bright blue and too electric to be human, wanting to carve away robin's mask, wanting to find a way to sync his brain with robin's, wanting robin to feel safe enough to ask him for it.

(robin, with oil-painted shame, is inching towards feeling safe enough to ask him for it.)

"not superboy, huh?"

"i'm off-duty."

robin raises his second eyebrow, then slides down to dangle his legs off the side of the building. he kicks a few pebbles loose, and tracks them as they plunge into the boundless shadows of gotham city "are you ever really on-duty? kon?"

"i'll have you know," kon says, sitting down beside him, "that hawai'i public radio ranked me as their third top favourite superhero. professional superhero, that is."

"you'd think that you'd be first, considering you used to live there and all."

"shut up."

robin just laughs.

here's the thing: it's cold in gotham. it's cold and wet and rainy, miserable more often than not. it's a lighthouse, and the sea is angry and there are no ships in sight. kon flew here straight from a golden kansas home, hair seeped in sunlight, skin buzzing with heat.

so when he shuffles over, robin can't help but lean into him, basking in the light. when kon slings an arm around robin's shoulders, robin can't help but burrow into kon's side, leeching the heat off the crook of his neck. when kon's heavy fingers drift along robin's neck and tilt his head up, asking for permission, robin can't help but lean up to kiss the heat right off kon's lips. he was warm, warm the way a crushing hug was warm, warm the way a bleeding cut was warm, warm the way staring into a sunset was warm.

and when kon would pull back a hair's width, sighing robin into his lips, robin would say, "that isn't—that isn't my name."

kon would smile, somehow knowing the way robin's eyelids would flutter when he rubbed a thumb along robin's jaw, somehow knowing the way robin's heart would paint a rhythm tattoo inside his chest every time he pulled robin close. if robin is honest with himself, he knows kon could pick him out of a faceless line-up by his calloused fingers, his hitchhiker's thumb, the arc of his waist between his hard hips alone.

then, kon would say, "s'okay, rob. tell me when you want, tell me when you're able. i'll be here," and pull robin into another kiss.

here's the thing: the very thought of sharing his secret identity sends an icy shiver down robin's spine. the words tim drake dance along his tongue, then dash back down his throat, leaving frostbite in their wake, leaving him frozen cold, terrified. but kon, sunlight-drenched and clementine kissed as he is, seems to warm him up a little more every day.

--

superheroes telling other ppl their secret identity is a metaphor for coming out change my mind

anyway some classic timkon feels for pride!

Paralyzed

BTR released Paralyzed on spotify and I automatically thought about Tim Drake with this song.

Tim Drake × GN!Reader

Warnings: none

The thing Tim Drake liked the most in his life was being with you, even if it was in his room, in silence while each of you worked in your own little worlds. However, he liked it even more when you were in a good mood. And today, you are in a good mood.

The song is blasting through the speakers, he is sitting in his bed watching you dance your heart out. He can’t help it but smile, you look adorable in your favorite clothes, singing and dancing, showering him in your good mood. He can’t remember the last time he saw you so carefree, all your responsibilities have been crushing you in the last few months and seeing you like this makes him want to hug you and never let you go again into the cruelties of the world alone. He can’t watch you get crushed.

You look at him in the middle of your little buble and he feels like he is actually paralyzed but your beauty and happiness. He is tongue-tied, Tim Drake was never tongue-tied before, but here you are making the impossible possible. 

“Timmy! Let 's dance!” you call, your eyes shining like the stars in the darkest night. He giggles, like a fourteen year old all over again.

“I am not a dancer, sweetie” you frown, but your eyes never stop shining, Tim smirks. “But I am happy just watching you”

You whine a little, walking his way and hold his warm hands on yours. You want to dance with Timmy, so you're gonna make a scene. 

“But I want to dance with you” you pout, trying to get into his feelings about dancing for a little while. He knows what you are trying to do, you have done this a million times before but he can’t help but fall for your tricks.

Tim can feel his heart softening as you look at him with your sparkling eyes and that pout in your lips. He sighs, knowing this is a lost battle against your sweet voice.

“Just one song, Timmy” you ask again,honey dripping from your voice and he gives in, smiling as he stands up. 

“One song, sweetie” he says, even though he knows it won’t be only one song as you drag him to the middle of the room. But it's you and he needs a break anyways so he is happy to indulge in your antics once again.

You have him in the palm of your hand, wrapped around your pinky finger. You got him paralyzed and mesmerized, he knows that. Tim Drake is at your mercy, and he doesn't mind, because he knows you would never hurt him.

So he dances with you all night long, until you both are tired and with aching muscles, falling into the bed to sleep the weeknd away

AU Where the Justice League forms as usual except for one slight difference where Bruce just so happens to have been the one superheroing for the longest. (Excluding Diana, who got up to it in World War 1 and then mostly didn't while she learned about Man's World)

Bruce helps form the Justice League, ignoring all of the comments as they come to the sudden realization that Gotham's baby cryptid story is actually a man in a very intimidating armored suit who can and will break your arm if you cause problems for him. They are unaware that this is not the first team he's led, and actually he's used to teams full of mostly teenagers who also happen to be his children. This should be easier, this team is primarily adults.

He realizes rapidly that he doesn't understand these people.

His kids take bonding activities to mean learning a dozen different ways to break someones leg. That doesn't fly with these people. And that is most of Bruce's ideas, hell when he was a kid Alfred took every opportunity to get him out of his room and mostly that was with the agreement that Alfred would teach him how to defend himself. He's come by it honestly.

This team is not easier. They have more drama than when his house was actually full of kids. It's insane. He doesn't know what to do with it, usually he just sent the kids to their rooms or grounded them from patrol. That doesn't work here.

He comes to a strange crossroads. That falls apart when he forgets who he's working with and snaps at Hal with a full room of heroes that the next person to throw a punch or an insult without a reason too will be sparring with him.

A long standing rule in the batcave that worked two fold to prevent infighting between the kids and too ensure that they were well and truly trained.

It works wonders. No one says a word out of line for the rest of the debrief. Bruce becomes the unofficial mediator of the league over Clark because anytime he walked in on a fight it suddenly became 10 times more civil out of sheer terror of what he'd do to them in a sparring match.

Eventually they actually meet his kids. Well, one kid.

Half way through a mission (one of the rare ones in Gotham) the Bat comes to a complete stop at the edge of an alley. Every single league member on the team comes to a stop behind him. Slowly from the shadows of the alley a man in a red helmet stalks out to greet them.

"You don't call, you don't write"

"Red Hood."

"Don't Red Hood me! We've been worried sick!"

"I was at the cave last night."

"You didn't answer my texts B. You always answer my texts."

Somehow it ends with big and scary following them through the rest of the mission with a running commentary of how much Bats has let him down in his failure to respond in a timely manner to a text send less than an hour before he ran into them in the alley. It only ends when Red Robin shows up.

And even then it only ends because Hood can't keep himself from throwing a punch and Bruce has to snap at him that if he throws another one they're sparring when they get home.

And by god is Jason giving up the chance to punch his brothers.

Prompt:

After Jason’s resurrection he finds that his body works… wrong somehow.

Some days he forgets to breathe until he wants to say something and finds there’s no air in lungs. Other days his body goes eerily cold until someone points out that his lips are blue and he needs to warm up.

And some days his heart stops beating in his sleeps.

It’s fine, really. It always starts again eventually a short while after he wakes up. And yeah, of course it was a bit scary the first couple times it happened but it’s not like his resurrection and Pit-dip came with an instruction manual, so this is probably pretty normal stuff, all things considered. He is kind of the definition of “undead”.

The real trouble starts when he forgets to mention those little details to the Batfamily when he stays over for the night.

[redrosebug]

I think it would be very funny if the Batfam and Tim had two drastically different reactions to the Teen Titans Incident.

Like Bruce is super concerned about Tim's safety, and Dick is tearing himself apart because on one hand, the perpetrator is his little brother and Dick remembers him as tiny little Jason who loves classic stories and on the other hand, his new little brother has just been brutalized and possibly traumatized. Jason pretends that he is okay with having beaten up a child, but he is drowning in guilt and can barely look Tim in the eye.

Meanwhile, Tim just... does not care. It was literally another Wednesday for him. He is so delusional, he looks at the Red Hood and thinks "Yeah, I can take him." There is no fear in those eyes, just revenge.

[ktkat99]

Angst/humor fic idea, if you need a prompt:

Bruce finds out the hard way which of his kids is okay with the 'unadoption' joke threats he makes when they annoy or stress him out. "Why did I adopt you?"..."I still have your adoption certificate. I wonder if the orphanage accepts returns?"..."I knew I should have left you on that street corner where I found you."

Dick fires back with twice as much sass, sometimes rolling his eyes and flipping off Bruce when he gets older.

Young!Jason looks so scared the first time he hears one, and Bruce never jokes about it again. Adult!Jason makes jokes about unadopting himself.

Tim is far too tired to register that it was a joke and gets quiet and avoids Bruce completely for the rest of the week until Bruce realizes what he did wrong and tracks his son down. They talk and Bruce never implies regretting to adopt Tim again.

Cass laughs along with him before pulling out her adoption certificate from her pocket and grinning, scaring him. His kids's adoption paperwork was all stored in a hidden, impenetrable, designed-by-Batman safe. Laughter fades and she just whispers "You'll never be rid of me."

Bruce- Maybe Talia wants you back.

Damian, not even phased- And maybe Alfred would have rather been working for a doctor than a clown-hating, nocturnal, combat furry, but I guess we're both out here disappointing our parents.

Some of My Favorite Batfam Fic Tropes

In no particular order:

 - The batfam have their own language of chirps, trills, tweets, and whistles, and they use it in front of other ppl (civilians, the jla, whatever) and the other ppl go “what the actual fuck”

 - Bruce throwing the batarang at Jason Todd’s neck actually Does Damage(TM), and eventually the other members of the family find out and lose their shit

 - “Hey Tim?” “Yeah?” “Where’s your fucking spleen :)” “Lost it.” “LOST IT??”

 - Damian calling his brothers Akhi :)

 - “How many kids do you HAVE??” -The entire Justice League

 - Jason going to Titans Tower, seeing Tim, saying “is anyone gonna parent that” and then not waiting for an answer.

 - Literal Toddler Tim Drake informing the Batfamily that yes he knows everyone’s identity, and really if you didn’t want people to figure it out you should stop showing off your extremely niche skills during patrols Nightwing.

 - “Dude your son is a crime boss.” “Ex-crime boss :/”

 - A Batfamily member hearing someone talk about their civilian identity (bc, yknow,, they’re famous) and just having to Deal With It because what the fuck else are they supposed to do??

 - The Justice League hearing about Batman and assuming he (& his family) are demons or vampires or some other cryptid, and then meeting him and finding out he’s just Some Guy.

 - The batfamily learning the origin of the name Robin

- The Justice League meeting the Batfamily and specifically learning who Red Hood is, and one of the heroes nervously asks “Didn’t the second Robin.. die?” and Jason just goes “yeah lol”

Edit // If ur seeing this original post by itself, I already posted a fic rec list related to these tropes :)

Does this have a point? Yes. I wanted to see more soft dad Bruce and more of early Damian forced into accepting affection because he's sick.

Edit: this isn’t part of the adopted Damian au, this is canon Damian. He’s just so out of it because of the fever

THE BETTER DAMIAN

“Beloved…”

Damian stared at you and then your new pet.

“Hm?”

You looked at him innocently. Eyes wide in anticipation of his following words.

“I enjoy your competitive spirit. I truly do.” He pinched the bridge of his nose.

How did you even get this thing? He had been keeping track of all your heists recently but never heard of you going to the zoo or anything.

Sometimes he wishes he agreed on Tim’s offer of 24/7 surveillance. Damn it. If only that didn’t mean his older brother got to see you in your bed/bathroom too.

“Get to the point, Wayne.”

“Maybe a panther is a bit too much?”

“You’re just jealous cause I’m spending more time with the better Damian.”

“That’s besides the point.”

“So you are jelly!”

“Yes. Yes I am.”

“Kon. Can you hear me, can you—Kon. Please, Kon—” Fear gas. Tim is terrified, and he’s calling for Kon.

House rule: when Tim falls asleep on you, you cannot, under any circumstances, move. It's cat rules. You can't get up to pee. You can't get yourself water or a snack or the TV remote. You're stuck until he wakes up. Good luck.

[redrosebug]

Imagine if timey wimey shenanigans happened and Bruce got de-aged to before he lost Jason. He takes one look at his giant of a second child and goes "my🥰son🥰".

Damian is flabbergasted and also very jealous. Not only has he never met a version of his father that is so openly affectionate, but also, he can't believe Bruce is giving Jason so much attention. Damian is FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.

Dick and Tim take one look at Bruce and go on vacation to TT. That is a Bruce that a) has been fighting with Dick and b) does not know Tim. They do not have the emotional range to deal with him.

Jason is both soaking up the attention and running away from it. He has no idea how his brothers convinced him to stay at the Manor with Bruce, but now he can't leave. The one good thing about the whole situation is that he can brag to Damian that Bruce loves him more.

(Jason has been trying to contact Dick and Tim for a week. None of them have picked up their phones. They are playing air hockey in the Tower. Jason hates them.

Dick asks Tim whether they should return home. Tim gives him a look and Dick's all "You are right.")
