F**k this. Is what he thought.
“Fu- fun. Fantastic. Wonderful. Joy of joys.” is what he said- because Matt was standing right next to him and Terry sure as... heck didn’t want to disappoint his deda further tonight, which took precedence over Willie giving him a funny look.
Powers Industries was cutting wages again.

"Your mother, who is she?" John had asked.
"Kind of obvious, don't you think?" Rex had replied.
"Even if it isn't leave it be, you don't want to know too much about your future." Bruce had said, and he had been right. Knowing about future events, even if they were a part of an unstable timeline that would never happen now, haunted his every waking moment. He had become Batman to save people, but what good was that title when it killed those he held most dear? Even if he hadn't technically met them yet...

Summary
The last time Terry had personally encountered time travel had been both freaky (meeting a young Virgil Hawkins) and frustrating (working with a young Virgil Hawkins.)
Right now though?
Now they would take a dozen tweeny-bopper Static team-ups over the freaky (teenage Bruce?) and frustrating (Teenage! Bruce!) encounter they had on their hands. At least Virgil had been transported to a decade with an active superhero community.

Summary
'I should tell her.' They think. 'Just two words “I’m Batman” and then go from there. She deserves that, at least.'
Wildly nervous, they strengthened their resolve and opened their mouth to say it. What came out instead was “It wasn’t actually the Jokerz who killed my dad.”

Summary
Get in, gather info on Project Cadmus, get out. That’s the mission objective. Or at least, that was the mission objective- right up until they ran into not one, but two whole projects to create successors to famous Leaguers. Now the seven of them have formed a team, but between superheroics, secret plots of mass destruction, identity crises, and family drama, working together as a unit might be a bit harder than they had anticipated.
In which Kaldur learns what youth pastors jokes are, M’gann denies her very blatant self-esteem issues, Artemis rejects her dad’s last name, Wally figures out how to babysit a real-life Pinocchio, Dick has to give up his Only Child status, Kon discovers you can order cotton-candy machines online, and Terry is a closet ballet fan.

Summary
Matt had only been eight years old when his appa was killed. He was too young to lose a father, and too young to really remember what it was like. Most of the following year was just a blur in his mind, but some things stick out even after all this time.
Things like how tired eomma and Terry were.
Things like how lonely he felt.
Things like how no amount of wishing could bring back the family he lost, and no amount of pleading could bring back the family he still had.

“Terrence Min Joon McGinnis, what on earth are you wearing?”
Terry turned, face obscured by the offensively hideous mask they were wearing, but Bruce was sure their mouth was turned up in the same oh-so-smug grin they had worn the night they’d taken him to go see that deplorable musical.
“You like it?” they asked in that annoyingly flippant way that meant they knew how much this bothered him.

Summary
You’ve heard it before. Twenty years have passed since the last sighting of Batman. A man is killed over the evidence of foul play he’s acquired. A kid finds that evidence and takes it to the former Batman in hopes of getting help stopping the killers, eventually taking on the mantle themself and getting a “part-time job” as a cover for their new career of crimefighting- except here they never rediscover the evidence. Here, their part-time job really is just an after-school hustle to keep the lights on. Yet, somehow, a lot of strange (and even super) things are still happening around them, but this time not even they have a decent explanation for it.
(aka. I made a joke abt Ter getting a pizza delivery job months ago and I still think it’s really funny so I’ve written stuff for it now)

Damian al Ghul-Wayne, head of the League of Shadows and true heir to the mantle of the Batman, was prepared for a thousand different scenarios when he lured Neo Gotham's so-called "Batman" to his base in Tibet.

Now saddled with a mask and mystery he didn't ask for, Damian finds himself back in his father's home city, determined to figure out once and for all the true reason this Terry McGinnis has involved themself with his family.

Max had thought she knew pain. She’d thought she knew suffering. She’d thought that nothing could be worse than third-wheeling for her two idiot best friends who were so sickeningly in love that she was pretty sure she’d almost vomited once while watching them.
Oh how blessedly, sweetly, carelessly naive she’d been.
Turns out there was something worse than third-wheeling.
Third-wheeling for two people who had broken up.

Summary
Before Terry McGinnis became Batman, before they met Bruce Wayne, before their dad was murdered, before being sent to juvie, before their parents' divorce even, they knew one thing:
Jokerz were about as funny as a research essay assigned over one weekend.
So when Mayor Gordon comes to ask that they perform an especially... up-close investigation of strange new activity in the Jokerz ranks, they- reasonably- would rather take the research essay. Fate (or rather, Mr. Wayne, but really that was the same thing anyway) has other plans though, so until they can solve this mystery it's going to be bad makeup and worse jokes for them. Oh. Joy.

One day I thought to myself- hey wouldn't it be funny if Booster Gold was a massive fanboy of Batman- but only the second one? With Bruce he can be all flippant, but with Terry he could hardly get a word in?
So then of course I wrote an unnecessary amount of exposition for it.

Matt knows firsthand how stupid twelve-year-olds can be (he's trapped in a building with hundreds of them every weekday, for slag's sake) but he also knows that he's nowhere near that level of idiocy. Too bad his older brother doesn't seem to realize that. Maybe if he'd been a bit more observant, it wouldn't have come as such a surprise when Matt finally snapped and refused to give him the time of day. After all, if Terry could up and abandon him whenever he pleased, why couldn't he do the same?

Summary
The Wayne family are no strangers to tragedy, but they sure are strangers to Terry and Matt McGinnis- two recently orphaned boys who don’t quite know what to make of their new caretakers. It would be a monumental adjustment for anyone on a good day, but the cultural differences between the two parties combined with the weight of the events that brought them together could prove to be too big of a hurdle for even the mighty Gotham vigilantes to overcome. They may be the right people to help these boys heal, or they may not be. Bats hate unpredictability but, when it comes to this, time really is the only thing that will tell.

So, with heavy heart she returns, and the two of them hatch a plan that might just keep the young McGinnis family safe. If everyone can play their parts.

Terry’s used to being told he has an active imagination. Usually it’s because of a story he’s told or a game he’s playing though. He swears up and down that the person with the gray cape and pirate hook who appears sometimes and beats up random strangers isn’t made up, but for some reason no adult will believe him! It’s majorly un-schway, but at least his new neighbor has a lot of old episodes of his favorite superhero TV show The Gray Ghost to play for him!

Hey, don't cry, room full of vampires in Gotham(㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ) by theycallme_ook

Summary
When there is, say, a vampire Clan with thousands of years of history and a modern penchant for identity obscuration, it stands to reason that they would have their many acts needed to keep their stories spinning down pat. So well-oiled are they, in fact, that the idea of someone getting into their estate, into their manor, past their guards, into their sanctum, and into contact with the bats responsible for their very connection to magic is simply inconceivable. So when, by a million-and-one chance, that actually happens? It isn't pretty.
(Or, one day I went, "what if that bat in the clock had bitten Terry and they became a vampire" then used that as an excuse to invent homebrewed vamp lore to go along with it)
