be ye angry (and be ye kind)

by megSUPERFAN 'Damian spoke first. “You shouldn’t have done it.” As if Bruce didn’t know, as if he hadn’t been horrified watching Clark’s son collapse like a sack of lead, the way Jon’s small chest had struggled to breathe beneath the symbol he wore—and all Bruce could feel when talking to Clark was inexcusable self-defense, repulsive stubbornness and. . . yes, and fear, of receiving from Superman the justice he deserved.' A.k.a. Batman is responsible for Jon’s first encounter with kryptonite.

The Shock of a Shared Mind

by tinktheloser They turned instead to face their own planet. Their shared heart kicked up, hammering in their chest. With all of his years of writing, Clark still couldn't quite capture the sensation of gazing down upon their world. Their home. The same sunlight warming their back cast the surface in a blue glow. Clusters of clouds slowly swirled along jet streams, some bundling into storms. They could easily pick a spot on land and see humans, animals, even bugs going about their days. A sensation filled them, from head to toe. Warm, gentle, and still overwhelming. Love, for this entire blue speck in their tiny, insignificant corner of the universe. For the people below, fighting every day for one more breath, one more meal, one more embrace of those they cared for. The ugliness of humanity buried under the wonder of existence, the impossible life thriving on an impossibly and perfectly placed planet. At once, within their mind, they suddenly looked at each other. And recognized something mirrored, something precious. It wasn't a confession, no admission of what they felt. It was simply known. And they were each enamored by how little surprise they found in each other. You—? — too?

by keijikatt Life for the bats is going well, all things considered. Tim has adjusted to being Robin, Dick is keeping busy with the Titans and patrolling Bludhaven, and the relationship between Dick and Bruce has gotten...better.

At Catherine’s—Crime Alley’s first and only Community and Youth Resource Center—he is Mr. Jason: patient, steady, the man who teaches kids how to make flower crowns and how to throw a punch. To his family, he is “doing better,” which is not the same thing as being well. They are all politely pretending not to notice the rest. To Bruce, he is at best a mistake with a bank account attached, and at worst a ghost best left buried. To his neighbors, he’s the fourth-floor problem: loud, shameless, and has a revolving door of endless lovers. To himself, well. That’s where it gets ugly.

A Bat's Purpose

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/6GiftQa by rezdia THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE CHAPTERS! “You need to find a purpose,” she stated near the end of one of their sessions. Bruce frowned, an eyebrow slightly raised in question. “It doesn't have to be something world-changing like curing cancer,” she explained, “but going through life with no goal or ambition will only lead you into a darker hole than the one you’re already in.” Bruce looked down. He racked his brain for something that could fit the description that Dr Roberts had provided, but his mind was blank. Did he really have no aspirations? He must have had some before, but anything that happened before his parents' death felt like a previous life. Nothing from then mattered; it's not as if he could get any of it back. “Nothing needs to be decided today, Bruce; it’s just something to think about until I next see you.” Bruce did think about it, a lot. He knew he wasn’t the type of person to wallow in his own sadness, and he also knew that the only way he could get better was to move forward. If only moving forwards didn't mean leaving his parents behind. OR Bruce learning to allow people into his life, and also allowing them to love him.

He should have said no. He should have asked a thousand questions. He nodded. Jason stood up and offered a hand. Tim took it. It was warmer than he expected, and calloused. Jason didn’t pull, just steadied him while he scrambled out from the rocks. “Keep close,” Jason said. “I don’t want you getting lost.”   Or: the one where werewolf Jason finds weak, helpless, human Tim in the woods and decides to follow in his father's footsteps.
