Your place to come for (semi) weekly batfam fanfic rec lists! (No batc*st fics). Inspired by blogs like @looking-out-for-the-little-guys, I've combined the best of both worlds to find the best Batfam fics out there and promote smaller fandom writers. Feel free to submit any gen themes or writers through the asks and follow for great fanfiction! Run by @geekinthecorner
First and foremost this is a rec blog! Weekly I plan on posting a set of fic recs based around the Batfamily and a chosen theme, as well as occasional mod recs.
Secondly, I plan on reaching out to smaller writers in the fandom and shining a light on them and their works bi-weekly. Once the page gains some followers that is.
Theme requests and writer recommendations are extremely welcome! The only rules are:
No Bat*est
All requested themes should focus on at least one Batfamily member
If you request a shipping theme then you may have a bit of a longer wait then a gen theme
The theme schedule for the rest of September can be found on the masterlist page
This blog and it’s set up is inspired by @looking-out-for-the-little-guys ​, which any Irondad fans should check out!
Hi y'all! This is just an update letting you know that the Tim & Damian rec list will be out this week, I was just too busy to get it finished on time.
Okay yeah, sorry about that! I got scheduled for a lot of extra shifts at work on top of an abnormal amount of school. This is in fact still a thing that's happening so I've decided to go on a bit of a break on here, probably for about 2 weeks. Again, sorry for this!

Hi y’all! This week’s rec list surrounds the theme of Damian calling Dick his “dad” (or some form of that title). I’ve gotten six fanfics here that at the very least come close to fitting that description. As always there is no bat*est here, just a lovely father-son relationship.Â

“Dick contemplates what Damian means to him, and what their relationship really is. He doesn’t understand why Bruce is held to the regard he is in Damian’s mind, and why it means so much to Dick that Damian’s happy. Dick also thinks about Bruce, and how he fits into the puzzle that Dick calls their life.
Or, in other words: Five times that Damian called Dick his dad, and the one time that he did it on purpose.”

“When Dick is 16, Talia al Ghul appears with a baby in her arms. When Dick is 17, his second father dies, and Dick has to take matters into his own hands to keep his family from crumbling completely. It’s just Dick and Damian against the world now, and sometimes it seems like the world is just desperate for him to lose.”

“Dick doesn't believe that Damian is dead.
He just can't be.
He's just gone.
Gone but not dead.”
 & “Dick laughs. “When I first saw you as my kid, it was when you first gave me sass. I just thought, Who taught my son such snark? Oh yeah, Alfred."”
Notes: These two are from the same series of fics, but these are the only two that focus primarily on Dick & Damian.Â

“Dick got mistaken for Damian’s father a lot considering there was only a ten year gap between the two of them.
idk if this is too specific but any robin!tim and batman recs?
Hi! I went ahead and added this theme to this week’s theme poll! It’s not overly specific at all, I might just find a few less than the normal ten fics if your theme gets picked.
First of all I want to say how much I appreciate fic rec blogs!!! You’re so helpful and I really love what you do! For a recommended theme, how about fics that talk about the toxic nature of the batfam and have them work through it so that it’s healthy?
Hi anon! First of all thank you for that bit of encouragement! Secondly, I wasn’t quite sure how to word this one on this week’s poll, so I hope “The Batfam Working Out Trauma” works. Happy fic reading!

I remember reading a batfamily fic where everyone got yeeted into an alternate universe or dimension where bruce wayne is evil and now the league is out to find him but I can’t for the life of me find it anymore. Tim wakes up to find he’s apparently adopted by Oliver Queen and its a whole thing. At one point Bruce straight up challenges Diana to a duel if I remember correctly. Do you happen to know it?
I'm sorry to say I don't know it. This is more of a fanfiction rec list blog, rather than one that finds specific fics. I can point you towards @batfamficfind as they do find specific fics when their askbox is open and do a great job of it as well!

Hi y’all and welcome to this week’s fanfiction recommendation list! As voted by our followers this weeks fics focus on the platonic relationship between Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. As always there will be absolutely no bat*est. I enjoyed compiling this list, and I didn’t have look far beyond my own bookmarks to find these ten stories, so I can wholeheartedly promote each of them. If you have a theme you’d like to be considered for another rec list feel free to drop it in our askbox.Â
Here are this week’s recommended fanfictions!

““Babs slapped me at your funeral.” Jason goes to laugh, but it’s just a cough and his mouth barely even twitches up. “She hated me in that moment. I mean, really, really hated me, like I did Talia after I found out Damian had died. And I wondered,” his voice cracks, eyes glassy now, “did you hate anyone when I was gone? Because I was gone?””

As far as Jason knew, Grayson hadn't ventured out of Bludhaven since Bruce's disappearing act six months ago, but if Nightwing's mess kept getting in the Red Hood's way, he was damn well going to deal with it himself. The trick was avoiding getting dragged into Nightwing's gravity. Dick has always had a way of making all of Jason's old wounds new again, and as Jason figures out, Dick is hardly in ideal form either.
Notes: This fic is set in the Arkham games continuity

“"Nightwing, you are clearly not fine. Your emotional outbursts--"
"Emotional outbursts? I'll show you emotional--"
"Are reminiscent of Hood's antics."
Dick felt Tim shift his attention back to him, as if waiting for some response to that. Jason's--it had to be Jason, right? Even though his voice was so strange? Jason's response to Damian precluded Dick from saying anything.
"What do you mean reminiscent? How can I be reminiscent of myself?"
"Nightwing, you're--"
"Shut it brat. Hey Nightwing?"
Dick lifted his face to look over toward Jason. "Yeah?"
He froze. He was looking at...
Himself?
And the look on his face was exactly what he was feeling right now. Pure, unadulterated confusion. In a split moment, it became adulterated with horror as the realization dawned.
"Shi--"
AKA Jason and Dick swap bodies, and this fic is purely to enjoy the chaos that would ensue XD”

(From the first story) “Everyone has a Jason but Dick. He’s trying to understand, but he’s afraid he’s just straight up jealous. Then a new Jason appears.
Of all the things Dick thought he might be when he grew up, a mama wasn’t one of them.”

With unexpected help from this inner-city street rat named "Dick", Jason begins to uncover the disturbing lengths at which the Lucianos will go to get what they want... and, even more unexpectedly, how Dick fits into their plans.”
