Summary
"I kill so others don't have to," Bruce states firmly and clearly. This entire situation didn't seem like it could get any more bizarre, what with Bruce sitting in the dark and polishing guns, but somehow it just has, "While you are here you will not kill."
Jason's throat is scratchy and dry with terror, but the insatiable feeling of being talked over and disregarded is a fresh wound. He can't back down from this if he tried, "I've killed. I still kill. Who the fuck do you think you are to stop me?"
Bruce gently sets down his gun, and picks up the blade beside him with practised ease. Jason's blood runs cold when the man wearing his father's face says, "You will die by my hand if you try."
(Jason meets a version of Bruce who has manifested his fears very differently.)

Summary
The first thing he noticed upon regaining consciousness was not the luxury of the satin sheets underneath his fingertips.
Nor was it the panoramic skyline that stretched across an entire wall of the expansive room he was currently inhabiting.
It wasn’t even the fact that the pillow beneath his head appeared to have been hand-fluffed by some rare species of Peruvian bird.
No.
The first thing he noticed was that his head felt strangely cold.
(Or! Morally ambiguous individual wakes up as a morally ambiguous Supervillain. This wouldn't be a problem aside from the fact that he HAS A SON NOW. 😱 )

You grow into the person who would’ve protected you as a child.
Alfred finds himself left with a little boy to care for. Not just any boy, but a Wayne, destined for greatness like his parents. He does his best to raise him, and it hurts his heart - really it does - but sometimes that means discipline.
Bruce knows he’s not good. Well aware that he deserved what Alfred gave him when he was a child. But now that he has children of his own, Bruce can’t fathom disciplining them like he was.That doesn’t mean Alfred was wrong to inflict those punishments on Bruce. Bruce deserved it. Just not his kids.
Never his kids.

Summary
“I know all about your secret identity.”
A beat of silence. “Um,” Peter said, bunching his sweater in his hands. “Which… which one?”
--
Peter has three secret identities: Spider-Man, the superhero who swings around the city to save people. Parker Benjamin, who gives Tony Stark unsolicited advice on his research. And NightMonkey, the Instagrammer who keeps uploading increasingly popular but embarrassing drawings of Iron Man.
And he can juggle them all just fine, thankyouverymuch.- Language:

Summary
The rambling cuts off abruptly, stony silence ringing from the other end of the line, but Jason knows Bruce is listening. Listening and running through several calculations on how someone— and who— could have gotten this number, while simultaneously tracking the call signal.
This is gonna be fucking gold.
Time to sell it.
“Dad,” he sobs, pitching his voice until it breaks, teeth chattering exaggeratedly, “Dad, please, I’m scared, I-“ Jason cuts himself off with a scream and another series of sobs, “Please, I can’t— it’s locked! Please, no, Dad, it’s locked—“

Jason's need for drama successfully derails his plans for vengeance “Red Hood“ style

what you're longing for (you claim to abhor) by Ghxst_Bird

Summary
He smiles, all teeth, “Come on Replacement, I even got to the door with both legs busted. This should be nothing.”
“You’re right. Jason… Jason wouldn’t have given up. He would fight, I can still—“
The boy wobbles, and Jason has to suppress the mortifying impulse to jump to his aid.
“I can still fight. Batman needs me.”
“That’s a terrible idea,” he muses aloud, and if there’s a hint of real concern somewhere under all the roiling green, well, nobody can prove it.

aka. the not-actual-hallucination Jason Todd tries the less hands on approach to getting revenge. It ends up backfiring spectacularly.

Summary
When Jason Todd died on that fateful April day, Bruce was tempted to just... stop. To let the world know he was Batman, and that it'd just lost a hero in Jason Todd.
And so he did.
It didn't keep him from mourning the death of his son.
Or: Bruce quits being Batman in the wake of Jason's death, tells the world who he is, then retires to Montana and slowly finds healing. And when Jason comes back to life six months later, and Talia tells him 'you remain unavenged,' he can't find any evidence to support that, so he goes home.

Summary
There’s a new dating app in town, but this one is just for superheroes. You don’t use your name or callsign and there’s no photos, only a short bio. The idea is to talk about personal lives AND hero-ing without specifics, keeping both their secret identity secret and their hero persona in place.
Dick signs Bruce up. Clark signs up willingly. They accidentally match up and even for the World's Greatest Detective, it takes a while to figure it out. In part because he isn't trying to figure it out, that's the whole point! But also because Boy Scout Superman is definitely straight and definitely not a dude who hangs out at a farm in his free time.
And Superman is confident that Batman probably lives in some random cave system like the gremlin he is, and doubts he even HAS a secret identity because he is so consumed by his Batman persona. Even if he did, he definitely wouldn't join a dating app. That would require wanting to interact with other people and also the capability to smile.- Language:

I'm a Good Pretender by orphan_account

Tags
Summary
“You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”
“It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.
(Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)
“Then what is it?”
“It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”
-_-
Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.
Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.

Summary
There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.
Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.
Frigging fantastic.
(Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)

"Jason," Clark said sternly. "You can't steal people's food and call it an offering to the dead because you aren't dead."

Summary
4 times the Justice League or the Batfamily forgot (or didn’t know) that the Batman was just human.
–
At first, Bruce was almost too delirious with pleasure to recognize the pain.
Diana was still leaning over him, her strong body rocking perfectly against him. Clark was responding enthusiastically to her kiss, finger fumbling with the buttons of his shirt in a rush to get it off. Bruce was overwhelmed by all of it, so much so that he only just now started to recognize the unpleasant sensation.
In the flurry and haze of all the mindless pleasure, kissing, and grinding, someone had (accidentally) broken his arm.
