    Summary

    When I ask her about the Darcy look-alike with the teeth, she laughs.

    Marie-Anne Baxter, Director of the Haddersford House Costume Drama Sanctuary and Preserve, has known Tom Mercer for over a decade. ”The costume is original, if modified,” she clarifies. “The teeth are not. You can blame Colin Firth for those.”

    Welcome to the world of the costume drama character.

    --

    Or: A magazine article from the world where characters in costume drama occasionally come to life of their own--and stick around after the cameras stop rolling and the crews have gone home.

    Tim with no self-preservation (per usual); fascinating case-fic worldbuilding; bonus appearance by the BatGoose! Plus excellent translation of Bruce's Bat-noises.

    Summary

    Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
    Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?

    Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”

    Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”

    Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”

    “FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

    Summary

    It's not *Tim's* fault Batman slept with his mom sixteen years ago, or Tim's fault that Bruce Wayne regrets signing away his parental rights fifteen years ago, but Jack Drake sure thinks it is. Now Damian is bugging him about cows and family and Jason and Dick won't stop kidnapping him and Bruce is acting like court orders don't matter, like he doesn't have a huge bat-shaped secret to protect from literally the whole freaking world.

    Why is Tim the only functioning adult in this situation?

    This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead. (So, update, some people are saying this may not be as fluffy as I am advertising it. I plead the 5th.)

    Summary

    The one where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.

    This is a collection of oneshots that all fit into the same universe, but posted in no particular order. Updated when the muse strikes me.

    Alternate summary, according to TV Tropes: A man attempts to escape slavery by turning into one of his culture heroes, teaching his daughter how to do magic, killing people, and flower arranging.
