⋆˚꩜｡ this is strictly a dcu/batman blog! I won’t be posting about anything else. follow my main blog if you want to see other things » @lucerneater

⋆˚꩜｡ my art/shitposts are usually silly, but darker themes may come up! these include: suicidal ideation, suicide, child death, trauma, child abuse, child neglect, disordered eating, family dysfunction, and a multitude of others. I will try to use cw/tw tags to keep the blog user friendly, but feel free to reach out and let me know if I ever miss one

⋆˚꩜｡ I make shitposts a lot, and also am totally down to answer asks! all my posts in those formats should be under » #luceisyapping

Boundaries?

I’m pretty tolerant of most things as I’ve grown up on the internet, however

.ᐟ .ᐟ .ᐟ I am NOT a batcest shipper. do not tag my posts as that or any other weird ships. stay in your guys lane or I will block you from interacting with my blog entirely

↳ I see majority of the batfam as siblings/family OR platonic. I am not here to argue legalities or “what if’s”. these are my interpretations either based in canon and in personal headcanons

⟢ no one has to have the same headcanons or opinions as me, I am not asking that. I am asking for everyone to NOT tag or comment on any of my posts as a ship (unless stated otherwise), INCLUDING posts that have to do with dick, cass, jason, tim, duke, and damian together, as they are all SIBLINGS as far as I’m concerned

[lucerneeaterr]

ohh they got something wrong with them.. like, clinically..

Cold you send me some batfamily fic recs please. Just not in the fandom but it sounds hilarious and Found Family is where I LIVE.

very sorry for the late response, took me a bit to get this list together due to personal life lmao. and fair warning: some of these works may have only a little basis in canon, if any at all, and some are definitely very crack adjacent. Some characters and canon events are slightly different/inaccurate to their comic counterparts in these, and some of these works are also just straight up AU’s. that doesn’t mean they’re any less enjoyable obviously, and I live by “canon can be whatever you want”, but I thought I’d just clarify in case you/anyone else seeing this gets more interested in the fandom and it’s content :)

a lot of these are tim drake centric btw I hope you don’t mind, but here you go!

the heaviness that I hold in my heart belongs to gravity by popsunner (highly recommend everything in their dc one-offs collection) - gen, one-shot. heed the tags theres some heavy topics in the fic. it will probably make you cry if you’re easily moved by things even without context. the dialogue and general atmosphere is really good, plus there’s some good old brother bonding

Sneaking out for Superhero Teenagers: a Guide by White_Tiger94 - gen, completed. total 180 vibe from the previous. the dialogue is great and is definitely a feel good fic, one of my faves to laugh about

Play it Again by Jazz020 - gen, one-shot. short and sweet brother bonding, I think the simplicity of it is really nice. (recommend all their batman fics I think they’re all well written)

Executive Assistant To The Batman by heartslogos - gen, one-shot collection. literally my first batman fic ever. it’s so freaking funny but also has some really good serious moments. probably some of my favorite characterizations too. the au itself is really fun and it has a lot of chapters if that’s something you like, but they do really fly by (need to be a registered user to read)

Five times Tim didn't show up in a photo (and one time he did. Kinda.) by KathyKomments (Tht0neGal666) - gen, completed. literally one of my all time favorite fics ever. I think about it all the time, the characterization and plot idea itself is incredibly interesting. there are heavier themes so heed the tags (highly recommend the series the fic takes place in With family like this, who needs [REDACTED] the writing in all of them is so good. again heed the tags on some of them though. Also highly recommend their other series The It, The Girl, The Shadow)

When the Stakes are Higher by keeptogethernow - gen, completed. love this fic so much, suspense and mystery is where I live, plus some good brother feels thrown in. heed the tags the fic gets kind of heavy, but it’s definitely a worthwhile read

Humans or Villains by anonymous - gen, incomplete. super interesting au concept to me and I think the writing is genuinely very good. even if it hasn’t been updated I still appreciate what’s been written. some darker themes in it so be aware

birds fly in every direction by distracted_dragon - gen, incomplete. another one of my first batman fics so it holds a special place in my heart. the au was super interesting to me and I really liked how the plot was developing. heed the tags there’s some heavy topics

We're Not Driving (How did we get here?) by TimTheToaster (tabletoptime) - gen, one-shot. love this fic so much. it starts off like an angst fic but devolves into a feel good one instead

He Knows by Ortholeine - gen, one-shot. so incredibly funny, I get a kick out of reading it all the time. civilian tim is always great, it’s really just a quick silly read

problem solver by orphan_account - gen, one-shot. I love this fic so much it’s so good. the emotions and dialogue are really hard hitting. heed the tags there’s violence and some heavy themes that appear (need to be a registered user to read)

Legend Has It by goldkirk - gen, completed. really love this fic and au, plus the writing is fantastic and the characterizations are great. There are some heavy themes so be warned. (highly recommend their series shutterbug for some serious family bonding feels. all their fics are incredibly well written)

riptide by punkrockhades - gen, incomplete. incredibly funny to me and so well written. the dynamics are set up well and the dialogue/interactions feel in character. heed the tags some heavy topics come up. (recommend all their batman fics, I really love this authors writing)

I'll Always be Here to Catch You by Bisexual_Bean - gen, one-shot. major feels but good brother bonding. very heavy topics so heed the tags, it’s incredibly good though and I really love the internal commentary. (definitely recommend the series Catch You, Help You Heal that it’s apart of but again major warning on the heavy topics the series explores)

Stubborn by audreycritter - gen, completed. a lot of brother bonding with some feel good vibes. love how the interactions are written, definitely one of my faves

Home by sElkieNight60 - gen, complete. LOVE this fic with my whole heart, i feel like it really captures the batfamily dynamics. also just love the plot in general, and the added introspectiveness of vigilante lives that comes across in it (need to be a registered user to read)

to forbear to treat with attention or respect by elumish - gen, one-shot. another one of my first batman fics, really good dialogue and internal commentary. I love the subtle nods about tims character from an outsider perspective. brief mentions of heavy topics so heed the tags

Whoopsie by MichaBerry - gen, completed. so incredibly funny the internal and external dialogue is fantastic. also another one of my first batman fics so it gets extra points in my book (need to be a registered user to read)

ten cents richer by Ms_Trickster - gen, one-shot. another incredibly funny one. the sibling dynamics are so genuine and accurate, plus the dialogue is great and feels really in character. definitely hits in the family feels

A Meditation on Railroading by eggmacguffin - gen, completed. another all time favorite, love the build up to events and how dynamics shift around between everyone, also has some really good brother bonding in there. heed the tags though there are heavy themes

hope you find something you like in this list! doesn’t put nearly a dent in the amount of fics I’ve read but these are the ones I tend to go back and reread either for nostalgia or out of fondness

I’ve been thinking about putting all the batman fics I’ve liked into a collection on ao3 so maybe I’ll link that here at some point if/when I make it if anyone interested!

POV: you tell the Waynes you never really liked robin

average gotham patrols 2: electric boogaloo

[lucerneeaterr]

tim, after the titans tower incident: listen I get he’s possibly under some kind of lazuraus pit induced psychosis and a lot of unpacked trauma and probably also just normal psychosis but like

tim: he’s got unnecessary beef with a 14 year old. a tween. he’s a head taller than me and he wants to beat me up. he put on his old robin costume and all I could think about was how he probably had a wedgie and that one time I saw him quote hamlet after stopping a mugger before tripping over a trash bag when he was robin

tim: I think I’ve left the realm of being able to fear him

bruce, head in his hands, sitting across from tims bed in the med bay: ..so you instigate him instead?

[lucerneeaterr]

Brucie Wayne, mid speech: Hello everyone! Welcome to tonight’s charity gala, so glad to have you here-

Damian, interrupting said speech: Father, Jason is attempting to do a backflip off the roof because Richard ‘triple dog dared’ him

bruce, voice dropping five octaves: i thought i told dick to stop with the dares

[arrowheadedbitch]

Concept: Ra's al ghul and Tim see eachother but tim wants nothing to do with Ra's so he just ignores him, won't even fight him, until Ra's starts talking shit about his grandson and Tim almost kills that old ass whore.

_______

Ra's: Hello, Detective

Tim: Immediately turns around and leaves

Ra's: Oh, come on!

Tim: Nope.

Ra's: But you would be such a better heir than my stupid grandson!

Tim, stops walking:

Tim: What the fuck did you just say

And then he kills him.

pov I dreamt this for an au I created 4 years ago and it wouldn’t stop haunting me so I started writing a fanfic

[two-sibyls-tall]

“Why’s Tim Drake your favorite Robin?” Well thank you for asking it’s because of his Audacity

[lucerneeaterr]

the idea of tim drake running around without supervision looking for batman and robin while trying to assimilate with the city life of gothamites for shits and giggles and subsequently just coming across as a little weirdo will never not be funny to me, canon or otherwise. like picture:

there’s this super polite 8 year old who actually insists he’s 10 standing next to you in too big clothes and a backpack at the bus stop in the middle of crime alley at 11pm on a tuesday. you ask what he’s doing out, cause clearly he’s not a street kid; he’s just a little too put together for that. he smiles with all his teeth and says something about bird watching, and you suddenly get an uncanny sense that something about this kid is Not Normal. so you just nod your head and go back to minding your business. this is gotham, after all. but because this is gotham not even 5 minutes go by before a man comes around the corner, eyeing you with that kind of wild look only the desperate get, hands fidgeting in his pockets. alarm bells start going off as the man makes his way towards you, but before you can blink the kid next to you suddenly has a lead pipe?? and starts yelling in an accent only the deepest pits of crime alley could offer??? to tell the man twice his size to fuck off???

despite the kids size the man still gets spooked, and bolts. the kid turns to you and smiles with all his teeth again, slipping the lead pipe up the sleeve of his too big jacket. the hairs on your arms are raised as you nod in acknowledgement, muttering something about how that was brave of him. he shrugs and settles in place, rocking on his heels. his eyes are scanning the rooftops with an unblinking focus. part of you almost wants to ask what he meant about bird watching earlier as that uncanny sense grows. but then the bus arrives, and you get on because that’s what you’re here for, settling yourself into a seat gratefully. as you look up you realize the kid hasn’t gotten on, and you look out the window to the bus stops shelter.

the kid is gone. you’re not entirely sure he wasn’t a figment of your imagination.
