Welp. I wanted to see the origin of the memes, and now I am myself becoming part of the memes.

Yeah, I finally started watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. And let me tell you, I have a definite thing for the ensemble and part crossover fics. It’s gonna take me a bit to write proper recs for all of them, but, in the meantime, I really want to share all these stories that have made me happy, intrigued, and, in a couple of cases, deeply angry at how close we came to a happier ending but damn it everyone is just too flawed and broken to manage it.

I think I came out almost half-and-half between gen fic and ship fic, so there should be something here to please everybody.

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.

Title: from the threshold of the year to come

Other notes: office affair, canon disabled character, adoptive family, impostor syndrome, slow burn, misunderstandings, delayed relationship

Length: 60k

Summary:

A new prosthesis, a new job, a new team... Shiro might've found a place he belongs, where he can settle down and get his life together. Too bad that's exactly when he meets the one person who'll turn it all upside-down again.

"This is Dr Shirogane," Allura tells the gathered teams. "He teaches physics at the university."
Shiro can feel his ears getting hot. He's wearing jeans and biker boots, for christ's sake. It's his day off. At least she keeps the introduction simple. If she goes into a recitation of his speciality, he's ready to diffuse the confusion with a joke about studying rocket science. It's one of the only benefits after so many sleepless nights writing his dissertation.
