AU where after Jason died, Tim decided to become one of Batman's villains to keep him in line.

His logic is; Batman, no matter how far gone, would never want to see a child resort to crime and villainy. He's right.

A little too right.

Batman is now obsessed with the child villain, determined to rescue the kid from himself. Tim, however, is committing to the bit.

#batman au #third robin au #bruce is now hyperfixating on little villain tim #tim is having a hell of a time dodging him #eventually his luck will run out #but currently it's working overdrive #*disclaimer the luck is the base level thugs. they think it's adorable and don't want batman to break his bones

The Cameras photo evidence au part 4½

The News went around Gotham: Photo evidence a new vigilante that exposes corrupt business men, politicians and occasionally takes down gangs. Only by using his namesake and a bit of info on back of the photos he takes.

He became popular, not Batman and Robin popular but it was enough to get he’s own small fan base. However that was also famous enough for people to find out and Leak the way he gave the GCPD evidence

Now Gothamites are a bit crazy we all know this, and most of the time you can’t even walk a few blocks until you see a crime, and the people of Gotham are smart enough to know what’s big trouble or not……. And really anyone can take a picture, print it, write info on the back and send it in.

You see where this is going?

That led to a lot of problems, now the police didn’t know what Tim actually sent in and what the civilians did. If only he could find a way to get them to send it to him first so that he could use his own evidence to either prove or disprove it before finally sending it to the GCPD.

Tim’s solution?

Make a photo evidence social media account

I cant be the only one who thinks the bats and Tims relationships would be more interesting if Tim refused to be adopted and emancipates himself when he turns 16,,,,,,, like it would make their relationships so much more intresting,,,

Much wouldn't change with Dick and Cass. In my mind Dick viewed Tim as family earlier than Bruce did and that wouldnt change. Cass takes one look at this feral boy and decides hes family

Bruce would accept his decision but he would feel little idk, sad? confused? a litle insulted??

Im not really sure yet how this would play out with Jason and Tim, I think Jason would feel little insulted bc he got 'replaced' by someone who isnt even family.

I think this would be one more point of conflict with Damian, the pretender who is stealing his legacy isnt even related to the by any paper trail? pathetic.

I also feel like in this AU he and Helena would interact more, maybe after Bruce is somewhat recovered from Jasons death Tim graviates more towards Helena/Huntress than Batman (this is just pure fanservice towards me, i like their dynamic way too much)

Meat Marionette continues lol

I like to think that the baby robins' chitin and fur mimic exposed musculature, which would help them camouflage with the Hive, but they also have bright wing feathers as a warning. Similarly Bruce has a bright yellow pattern on his wings as a warning of hey, this big predator is venomous so back off.

Bruce's spikes can flatten like quills I think, so he can pick up things and people without worrying about accidentally stabbing whatever is in his hands. He's very careful even if Dick has the habit or leaping into his arms gives him mini heart attacks. Honestly that might be what makes him start carrying him (and the other kids) via his mouth and in the spine cavity.

Eventually Dick will grow and his chitin will darken to his Nightwing colors, but for now he's covered mostly in fine fur and feathers. Though if one looks closely at his wings they'll see there is membrane underneath said feathers. There's also hidden claws between the feathers too similar to Bruce's though less curved. He'll eventually get bigger and evolve more but for now he's a tiny buddy.

Even with Bruce's cavity, they do still have several bags full of supplies and even more hidden batarangs and other items hidden around the city. Mostly in areas one would need to be able to fly or have very long limbs to reach or even both. Bruce also of course deserves his cloak, long enough to shelter all of the kids, his own or otherwise.

reverse batman au

reverse robins au this reverse robins au that how about a reverse batmen au?? i am not sure how that will work but let me offer some ideas

in canon the batman title goes something like that: bruce wayne -> jean paul valley (knightfall) -> dick grayson (prodigal) -> helena bertinelli (no man's land) -> dick grayson again (after bruce's death) so let's jumble it. i came up with 2 versions

1. dick -> helena (knightfall) -> jpv (nml) -> bruce (bftc)

ok so dick's parents die and he still gets adopted by bruce wayne. bruce never became batman because reasons. soo dick grows up and becomes batman, i can't exactly come up with a reason why he would choose a bat as a symbol but ehh i mean there is a cave full of bats under the wayne manor. and remember that bruce discovered the batcave as a kid by falling into a hole in the ground, so that easily could have happened to dick. dick gets injured and helena becomes knightfall batman (i.e. a baaad wrong batman). i thought about her design as knightfall batman and maybe she would have a lot of tactical heavy equipment and a big arsenal (nothing super deadly like guns ofc but still. violent ig). during no man's land bruce still tries to convince people to not give up gotham but fails and leaves. and dick probably leaves too? then jean paul becomes the no man's land bat and dick comes back and fires him lol. jpv and helena have some similarities. helena became the bat during nml because gotham needed batman when he was away. it's kind of a big part of jp's character to fill in for batman, if he wants it or not. so him becoming the bat during nml makes sense. and jean paul and dick have a strained relationship like bruce and helena do. at some point dick dies and bruce becomes batman after battle for the cowl. ouch!!! it is kind of funny because other batmen were a lot younger than bruce

it doesn't exactly fits dick to be so committed to gotham to be batman. i mean, it is his home, but compared to other characters it's less home to him, you know. he wasn't born in gotham yk it's not a special city to him unless he was robin to bruce's batman

2. helena -> dick (knightfall) -> bruce (nml) -> jpv (bftc)

i really like the idea of helena the mafia princess becoming the first batman and adopting the title of the bat. out of all batman characters she has the backstory and methods and attitude most similar to brucebat. then dick becomes the knightfall bat and i don't know how he will portray the improper batman but it would be interesting to explore his bad habits and harmful behaviors because he is always called the best perfect batman successor and whaat if he's not?? what if he fails. ok so helena and bruce switch places during no man's land (my fav thing about no man's land is bruce leaving gotham, which is kind of hypocritical of him because gotham is the most important thing to bruce. both bruce and batman belong to gotham and nowhere else. so it's great to see him during his lowest realizing he can't give up gotham). bruce still advocates against nml to the government. helena leaves gotham and bruce stays to show that he stands by everything he says. idk maybe him not being batman makes him less gloomy. bruce becomes the bat because gotham needs the bat. and helena is very tired and depressed and feels helpless. she thinks there is nothing she can do but then she comes back anyway. fight for gotham is something you can't win but she will fight because she's the bat. and that means jean paul then becomes batman after the battle for the cowl which is ??? i don't know lmao

didn't include prodigal in these because i couldn't figure out how to make it make sense. the story is too personal for dick i think

i like to think about the design implications. their batsuits would be different from their canon ones because they created them first and their design decisions would affect their successors'. helena's batsuit in canon is the way it is because she wanted to fit in with the bat crowd and play by bruce's rules. if she was the one who created the bat the suit would probably have a lot of gadgets and design elements from her huntress design. on the other hand, dick's batsuit will be nothing like nightwing because his nightwing design wouldn't exist without bruce batman. nightwing is about legacy, inspiration and honoring his closed ones. and dick's batsuit wouldn't have a cape, of course.

ok so i'm not sure how robin would work in both of these scenarios because obviously robin can't exist without dick becoming robin first, and dick can't become robin without batman. maybe he does become robin as a kid to investigate his parent's murder and get justice? i don't really like the idea of making him younger and making him and helena batman and robin..

so then jason is the first robin (not exactly robin but robin-like you know. still a batman sidekick but with a different name and costume). he still gets adopted by bruce because i don't see either dick or helena being his guardian (unless age him down a bit..??). in dickbats case it creates a fun dynamic because they are both adopted by the same guy but they weren't exactly brothers yk they weren't close before jasons death. in helenabat case he can be student at the school where she teaches :D the situation with jason being bruce's son and robin when bruce is not batman brings to mind the jack drake and tim robin dynamic. yes i really like the moment when jack finds out that tim is robin!!! maybe something similar happens with bruce and jay but different. jason still dies and becomes the reminder that the batman mission is real and dangerous and no one is safe.

with tim everything would relatively be the same i think.. robin and his older brother and sister! also i'm thinking about what if stephanie was helena's robin.. in a more significant way you know. i liked their team up during cataclysm and they are similar in some ways. both are outcasts of the batfam in canon!

i think other batman characters can stay the same too except with different dynamics and stuff. imagine barbara being called batGIRL when she's older than batMAN.. actually her being batgirl doesn't really make sense timeline wise so maybe she is oracle from the start. her becoming oracle doesn't have anything to do with her previously being batgirl so it makes sense but some of her and cass interactions will be different.

as for bruce. it's a hard one because well he is THE batman and batman is a big part of his life and personality. if he isn't batman then what even is he. maybe in this au he's a little bit more chill or something in his life prevents him from becoming batman. maybe he's not batman but a huntress equivalent (hunter? huntsman?) or maybe he's a regular vigilante not a costumed one. he still got his training around the world but a bat didn't crash through his window i guess! he is either a civilian or vigilante or masked anti-hero or something. the real question is how will bruce and talia meet and will they still have damian?

3. also i lied i came up with 3 versions. here's a crazy one. i call it anti-batman au: jpv -> bruce (knightfall) -> dick (nml) -> helena (bftc)

Tim and Damian Sharing Robin

Think of it this way: A cafe only needs one barista at a time, but there are multiple baristas who cover different shifts

Scheduling errors where BOTH of them thought they were gonna be Robin that night and the ensuing fistfight

Scheduling errors where both of them thought the OTHER was gonna be Robin and the panic that ensues. Damian planned a trip to the art museum. Tim planned a date with Bernard. Bruce is like “I don’t NEED a Robin” and they’re both like “YES YOU DO”. Jason ends up being Robin. Everyone assumes Robin simply got hit by a magic spell that made him Buff and Twice His Size

Tim and Dami sometimes getting mixed up for each other. Tim is mortified that he’s short enough that people think he might be the same person as his ten year old brother

People who think there’s just one Robin assuming that Robin just brings his sword out when he feels more murdery and his bo staff when he feels less murdery

Bernard being like “I have a conspiracy theory where Red Robin sometimes acts as Robin because of the bo staff, different looks, and different character”. Tim is like. Wow my boyfriend is so smart. Time to gaslight him.

Tim and Dami switching Robin shifts without informing Bruce and letting Bruce be absolutely baffled and off-footed when a different son shows up.

Bruce is like “tonight Tim is Robin so we’ll look into [investigation that requires computer skills]”. Dami shows up and Bruce is like uh oh. This is why Bruce has like 50 different contingency plans, because his children just do stuff without telling him and it destroys all his og plans

One time Tim and Dami switch and Bruce doesn’t notice for a solid 10 minutes because he’s so sleep deprived

Core Four invites Tim to a group get-together so he asks Damian to switch shifts with him, Damian demands a bribe, Tim gives Damian a new set of brushes

Damian wants to go see an animated movie with his art club, tries to ask Dick to ask Tim to switch with him, Tim appears very smug and tries to ask for a favour in turn but then Dick being a DICK says that Tim has to be the “older brother” and “if he’d do it anyways he should just do it” and “as the older brother you can’t take advantage of a ten year old”

Tim: I’m supposed to be MATURE and just allow the switch without forcing you to take my weekend shifts-- Damian: HAH Tim: --BUT I’M NOT MATURE SO TAKE THE WEEKEND SHIFTS SO I CAN STAY WITH THE KENTS ON THE LONG WEEKEND.

Tim and Damian forming a union and presenting their terms and conditions to Bruce saying that they’ll strike unless he agrees. Bruce, exhausted, points out that he has literally been trying for over a decade to get Robin to stop existing and that THEY were the ones to force him to accept them as superheroes. He gives into the union’s conditions anyways.

#dc #batfam #Tim Drake #Timothy Drake #Damian Wayne #Damian al Ghul #sharing robin au #tim and damian: you will have no robin unless you have a movie night with us once a week!#bruce who literally fired dick from robin bc he was scared for dick's health and told tim he refused to have another robin and didn't even #appoint damian as robin and literally only has robin bc his reckless children will go whether he approves or NOT and it may as well be #with his support and supervision so that he can try to keep them safe:#i literally would've had movie night with you anyways bc i love you and also yes please stop being robin please stop #tim and damian BOTH being robin allowing each other to explore more of a normal non-cape life + have better overall health #bruce being so pleasantly surprised by his sons going OUT with FRIENDS and CHOOSING to spend nights at home etc #alfred looks at bruce like. so when are YOU getting a coworker batman. b is like. idk what you're talking about??? i'm fine???#bruce is btw like. in his forties or fifties and his joints are COMPLAINING about all his time as batman #clark shows up one day like 'i can be your coworker batman!!!' and bruce is like #first of all you are already superman. second of all you can't work in gotham. third of all. i refuse.#it's clownery your honour

Just came up with a new third life au where they all live on 1 floor of an apartment complex

Ren and Martyn live in single flats across the hall from eachother and both are part of the complex's Committee (Ren is the head and Martyn is his right hand man)

This means they they try to make everyone strictly adhere to the rules

They're supported by: Etho, Skizz, BigB, Impulse (to their faces but not behind theur backs) and, briefly, Joel

Martyn is also childhood friends with BigB, Grian and Jimmy and lives to the right of the flower husbands

At the other end of the corridor, Grian and Scar are 'best friends' who share a three person flat

It's person so they can fit all of their pets in, Jellie, Maui, Pearl, Bubbles (who is now a fish) and Pizza (idk what animal they are yet, suggestions are welcome)

They vehemently hate all the strict regulations, especially the ones around animals which is how all of this starts, and do everything they can to antagonise Ren and Martyn

To the right of Grian and Scar are the newlyweds, Jimmy and Scott in a two person flat, Jimmy and Grian are brothers and they have a sort of joking rivalry. The flower husbands try and stay out of the drama but after the Committee tries to force some ridiculous rules on them, join Grian and Scar in their quest

Across from the desert duo are the crastle squad, with Bdubs, Cleo and Impulse sharing that 3 person flat, they're disgruntled by the regulations and try to keep a good relationship with the Committee to avoid having a harder time. Their good relationship gives them enough sway at first to be exempt from certain rules/get rid of rules that seem silly but when Ren starts getting ridiculously strict they show their true colours in a tentative alliance with Grian and Scar. Cleo and Scott have always been close friends

Across from Scott and Jimmy and to the right of Cleo, Bdubs and Impulse are Tango and Etho, who mainly just shared because there wasn't a 5 person flat and the group wanted to split up Bdubs and Etho for... pda reasons...

Etho makes fast friends with Ren, their neighbour on the right while Tango keeps his loyalties with the crastle crew

Finally at the very end of the hall are Joel and BigB, BigB is on Ren's right and, despite being childhood friends with Grian, takes Ren's side, Joel lives across from him with all his dogs but doesn't really get too involved with the drama as he is frequently visiting his long-time partner, Lizzie on the floor above

I just realised I have no idea where Skizz lives...

That's a problem for another time.

The ships are: Treebark, Scarian, Flower Husbands, Ethubs and Shadowbeans

Wait (and also you dont have to answer this if its like something you want to reveal in Nancy POV obviously but it just occurred to me)- At the interview with Robin, does Jonathan know it was Nancy???

lol it's not a reveal or anything because it actually doesn't come up! i did think about it while writing nancy's pov though, to the point of wondering if jonathan would talk to nancy at all between the interview and the end of the fic. but for various reasons (momentum, prioritizing other dynamics, it really not being his place and him knowing that, etc) i didn't do that. but i do think he knows, or at least suspects enough to know better than to ask robin or nancy about it.

tbh i think everyone in that interview room might suspect something, simply because the whole world would know that robin and nancy were close again around 95-97. there's this weird sorta like tension i felt when writing, wherein robin wouldn't have been saying nancy's name in the interview, but in the actual writing of the scenes nancy was all over the place. it was a weird thing to convey. but i guess the bottom line would be that robin does her very best to take nancy out of the narrative as much as she can, but the people who are hearing her story firsthand do technically have all the clues they need to put the pieces together. especially jonathan, who 1) knows nancy pretty damn well and 2) has also been both in love with and heartbroken by nancy wheeler

#not a single one of them says anything though #because i like the idea that jonathan connected robin to people she could 100% trust with her story #celebrity fake dating au #asks #dufrau #this has me re-reading the ending of the nancy pov for like the third time this month

here, have a part two to this.

Robin can’t focus on anything that’s not the small vampire across from her. They’re supposed to be looking for one of Nancy’s necklaces, made from pure silver, to test one of Dustin’s stupid theories about what works against vampires and what doesn’t. But Robin can’t tear her eyes away from the brunette curls tucked behind Nancy’s ears.

“Stop staring at me,” she says, not looking up from her vanity.

Robin sputters, “Wha—I’m not—fine. I’m sorry.” Nancy looks at Robin’s reflection through the mirror on her vanity, red eyes playfully scanning Robin. Or sizing her up. Robin may never truly know if Nancy considers her food or not.

(Honestly, she’s okay with that.)

“It’s just…” Robin trails off. Nancy spins around, head cocked to the side.

“Just…what?”

“You have, like, cute little pointy ears now.” Robin smiles. Nancy’s expression turns deadly, but Robin knows there’s no bite behind it.

“I could kill you, you know,” she states, strolling up to Robin. Robin crosses her arms, an easy smile tugging at her lips.

“You could. But you won’t.” She watches Nancy’s face contort, fighting back her own smirk.

Nancy has to look up to fully meet Robin’s eye, challenging her. Do you really want to find out?

And then there’s the warm, funny feeling that Robin gets. Truthfully she felt it way before this happened, but something about Nancy’s situation pushed them together further. Robin would’ve done anything (and would still do anything) for Nancy because that’s just who Robin is and what friends do. She’s been reprimanded for it before, throwing herself into reckless abandon just for the sake of someone else, with little to no regard for her own life.

(If you had known Robin before, you would know that she’d be surprised that she’d made it this far. She’d gotten so bored with life, especially in Hawkins, that she genuinely didn’t know what else would come from it. Add that with the fact that she’d often felt like her whole life was one big error, a spirit placed--trapped--in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now she suffered the consequences. And then Starcourt happened. And while it was scary as hell, she thanked whatever deity was listening that something interesting was happening in Hawkins. Even if she did get drugged by Russians in the process. She’s glad she has made it this far; where else would she get to see vampires?)

But now…now Robin can’t imagine her life without Nancy. Without her wit, her sharp tongue, her competitiveness, and the way she’s the only one who can hold an intellectual conversation with Robin. The way Nancy is perhaps the kindest person she knows; even though Nancy denies this, Robin’s seen how she joins Holly, playing with the dolls in the dollhouse and her stuffed animals. She’s seen her old “costumes” from when she dressed up for Mike’s Dungeons and Dragons nights. (Robin has tried to convince her to do it again, only if she can relish in the adorable nerdiness that is Nancy Wheeler.)

Robin’s heartbeat picks up at the thought, and she hopes that Nancy can’t hear—or at least will ignore—the slight uptick in her heart.

She ignores how Nancy’s pupils look just a touch wider than they did a moment ago.

“Oh my god,” she says, Nancy’s stare still burning into her own, “are you trying to use thrall on me?”

Nancy laughs, “What? No!”

Robin struggles to keep her face firm, “Mhm. Mhm. Sounds like something someone trying to use thrall would say. Unless you’re just trying to get a good look at my eyes, Wheeler,” she finishes with a wink before dissolving into her own giggles.

Nancy smiles this time. It’s a real, full smile that shows her dimples and her fangs and makes her eyes sparkle. Not the closed-mouth ones she’d used to hide her fangs. Robin thinks that it’s gorgeous; she could stare at it forever.

The words spill out of Robin’s mouth before she can stop them, “I’ve missed that smile, Wheeler.”

Nancy stills. The smile—the beautiful, radiant, brilliant smile—drops from her face. Robin watches as Nancy fights the frown, lips quivering, trying to hold it together in front of Robin.

my awful brain coming out of nowhere to throw third eye thoughts at me. i see a good meta and my brain goes "hey, you know this means in third eye au-"

#mostly that third eye au tim is really a Nightmare Scenario for him #jack and janet both die before he gets to reconnect with them or find any kind of stable living situation.#he has to deal with the ramifications of having (unintentionally) killed somebody in self defense. and the Shiva of it all #he has pushed down his desire for normalcy so deeply. compartmentalised himself into Before and After so strongly.#that he cannot emotionally handle anything that threatens the boundary he's drawn between 'tim drake the normal kid' and his current self #to the extent that third eye is really hard to write because he no longer thinks of himself as 'tim drake'#it's a whole complicated mess of shame and grief and self-aware self-disgust. tim v robin identity crisis turned up to 11 #no idea if it makes sense. compels me though!#third eye au

Eddie is a ghost and is haunting the house Steve’s just moved into. Eddie has always managed to drive people out of the house by haunting it to hell and back because he hates having the share his space and not get to do things in peace (half true). He also thinks it’s fun to mess with the living (also half true). The longest anyone’s stayed in the house and stuck it out despite the haunting is about 6 months or so. He assumes it’ll be the same game with Steve. Eddie figures the guy will break before long, Steve looks like the type of guy to get scared of a simple haunting and run for the hills.

Safe to say, Eddie’s pretty surprised when Steve not only isn’t getting scared, but isn’t reacting to all of his regular ghost antics even in the slightest. It’s almost like he’s ignoring it, but that can’t be the case because why would someone ignore the doors in their home opening and slamming shut on their own, or the mirror’s fogging up with weird symbols and writing ? That’s weird, right ? That’s gotta be weird. Eddie starts to think that Steve’s fucking with him on purpose at this point, he’s gotta be.

This is also around the time that Eddie starts to think that Steve might actually be able to see him, but he’s really not that sure. Sure, he’s been seen a few times before, but it’s usually been enough to drive past homeowners into reselling the property, and this isn’t the case here. It’s not until their eight month together that he really figures it out.

Eddie’s just annoyed at this point. No one’s stuck it out this long and he’s not even had any fun with it because he hasn’t gotten any reactions. Nothing. Not a single reaction. He decided about a week ago or so to just talk. Nonstop. He’s been talking Steve’s ear off for a walk straight about everything he could think of. He keeps making comments about his own day, asking how Steve’s day went of course, waiting for no real response and such. Never gets a response, but hey, what’s stopping him ?

This one day, Steve gets back home late as all hell, clearly in a mood, and looking like he’s just fallen into a lake with how utterly soaked he is. The poor guy is drenched. Eddie makes an off-hand comment about how dumb he looks in his little polo shirt.

That’s what did it.

“Seriously? THAT’S what you comment on? The shirt? I come home looked like I survived a flood and you talk about my fucking polo?”

Now Steve’s making eye contact and Eddie just fucking gawks at him. He hears Steve mutter a quiet “shit” and watches him walk past. Too late now, the dam already broke loose.

“I fucking KNEW you could see me!”

#Steve’s third eye has been blasted open since birth and he helps ghosts on the side #this is relevant here but robin is also a ghost and living in Nancy’s house across the street #steve harrington #eddie munson #paranormal domesticity #ghost Roomate AU #steddie PD #steddie ghost roommates #steddie #stranger things 4 #st4 #stranger things #steddie wip #steddie writing #steve x eddie #steddie AU
