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: slowly dying to make it through
Author: sepia_cigarettes
Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Shiro/Keith, Allura/Lance, Kolivan/Krolia, Hunk/Pidge
Warnings: PTSD, panic attacks, references to eating disorders, suicidal ideation, explicit sex, background character death, grief/mourning
Other notes: hurt/comfort, hurt/recovery, post-war, ensemble, wedding, family, friends, alternating PoV, slow burn
Length: 46k
Summary:
But Shiro doesn’t bring the sun, because that’s Keith. Keith is the one who brings warmth, hidden in the gentleness of his eyes and the curve of his cheekbones. The slope of his smile sets Shiro on fire.
Shiro doesn’t do that. Shiro brings clouds and shadows and rain that’s so fucking cold it seeps into his bones every day and turns them to ice, and it feels like he’s always just one misstep away from shattering against the ground.
God, how he wants to shatter.
In which Shiro and Keith come home from the war and help each other rebuild. Picks up right after Season 7.

Title: from the threshold of the year to come
Author: Sol1056
Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Shiro/Keith, Lance/Pidge, Allura/Lotor
Warnings: explicit sex (gay), PTSD, discussion of power imbalances, brief discussion of alcoholism, sad drunk people, background parental death, physical disability,
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.

Title: Like a Lion
Author: p0rth0s
Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Keith/Shiro
Warnings: PTSD, depression, explicit sex (gay)
Other notes: hurt/comfort, post-war
Length: 9k
Summary: “Where does it hurt?”
Keith doesn’t elaborate, and Shiro doesn’t ask him to. Just raises his prosthetic hand in a loose fist and lets it fall sluggishly on his own chest where he guesses his heart is hidden.
Two times. Here. It hurts here.
Keith doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t reach up to wipe the tears from his face. He props himself up on an elbow and leans down to first lay a dry kiss to Shiro's chest, and then lay his soft, heavy head. His ear pressed over Shiro’s plaintive heart where it slowly beats on through the night.

Title: pull apart the dark
Author: togina
Fandom: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Steve/Bucky
Warnings: PTSD, violence, child endangerment/injury/illness, angst, some homophobia (historical context)
Other notes: de-age fic, child care, boys who cannot communicate
Length: 79k
Summary: Steve’s unending faith in his best friend was beginning to look less like hope and more like fantasy. When they’d caught the Soldier – in a fire fight that still gave Sam nightmares – the only thing the man seemed to recall was how to hit exactly where it hurt.
Four months later, Barnes still refused to speak English. Refused to heed anything but Steve’s voice.
So, all in all, it was not a great time for Hydra to attack New York. All in all, Sam really wished they’d just killed him, instead of turning Captain America into a baby.

Warnings: background character death, violence, PTSD, aftereffects of trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms
Other notes: traveling to an alternate universe, fix-it fic, angst, hurt/comfort, hurt/recovery, character injury, family, ensemble
Length: 63k
Summary: In which Stiles goes along with one of Derek’s plans and ends up in an alternate universe as a result. He should’ve known better. He did know better, actually, and that means he has no one to blame but himself.
“Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)”

Title: Alternative Therapy with Dr. Bruce Banner
Author: notbeloved07
Fandom: Avengers / MCU / Iron Man 3
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Tony/Bruce–gen or pre-slash as you see fit
Warnings: PTSD, potential Iron Man 3 spoilers
Other notes: kink meme fill, science bros, therapy
Length: 4k
Summary:
Bruce is pretty sure a therapist wouldn’t help his client synthesise the main compounds in chocolate at three in the morning. Just like he’s pretty sure exposure therapy does not mean trolling cosmology conferences and hacking SHIELD’s files about wormholes. And when they say pets help with anxiety, they don’t mean pet Hulks. But hey, he did say he wasn’t a therapist, didn’t he?
Or, in which Bruce Banner knows about breathing exercises for panic attacks and grounding techniques for flashbacks, but as far as therapy goes, that’s pretty much it. But if Tony refuses to get an actual therapist, he supposes they can make do with what they have.
