Today’s topic is the Bat family.

No real reason, just Bat family fics I’ve enjoyed. Admittedly I have a weakness for Jason Todd fics, so he’s possibly a little over-represented. Mostly gen, ensemble fics featuring two or more Batmen, Batwomen, Robins, and the like.

All the Roofs of Uncertainty by Kieron_ODuibhir

For all the blood on his hands, Red Hood was never just a villain. And Nightwing never gives up on family, not for good.

(Or: The one where Dick bleeds a lot and Jason argues with everybody.)

Bird By Bird by laceymcbain

Bullets, knives, a three story fall, even a fucking crowbar hadn't managed to keep Jason down permanently, but Dick Grayson (and the rest of his "family") was going to kill him with kindness.

The Changeling Sequence series by silverspidertm2

Jason is awake and aware but half-a-world away from Gotham in enemy hands. He thinks of nothing but escape, but what happens when he meets a certain little boy? Partial AU. Starts of at Red Hood: Lost Days #1 then spins in its own direction.

The Kid by kleine_aster

When Robin gets kidnapped, the Red Hood decides to go for the gold badge in Prodigal Son and rescue him on his own. Dragging a heavily wounded Damian to safety doesn’t go as great as Jason had planned, until it does.

baby wonder by drakefeathers

(baby!damian AU) Bruce dies, Dick becomes Batman. But the Damian that Talia leaves in his care isn’t a ten-year-old warrior, he’s a ten-month-old baby.

Oil and Watercolor by dedicatedfollower467

The problem with soulmarks is when you give one much less vivid than you get. Damian knows that pain very well.

A platonic soulmark AU where you leave colors on each other's skin the first time you touch.

Collide by LaLaCat1

Lost and Found by strikeyourcolors

Bruce is dying. Slowly, painfully. Not going out in a blaze of glory and defiance for a greater purpose. He's caving under the weight of his own age, under the damage he's done to his heart through the years. Terry can't be by his side constantly to do damage control. More than that, he can't watch it happen with no reprieve. But there's no one else.

Terry needs help keeping vigil by an ill Bruce's bedside. But the old man had kids once, didn't he? Are the bridges he burned unable to be rebuilt? As he observes, Terry definitely starts to wonder how this family used to be.
