Fic rec! 5K DC Comics
Summary: After Lois gets hurt because of something Batman did, Superman goes to Gotham to talk. Bruce, however, is convinced that Superman is here to hurt him. To hurt Robin.
Comments: This fic is fascinating to me, because while I have a hard time personally imagining Superman showing up to hurt Robin, and the bits from Clark’s POV show he’s not, I 100% understand why, from Bruce’s POV, he believes Clark is here to hurt Dick and Dick is panicking that Bruce is about to get hurt too. It leads to a rise-up moment for Gotham, and really sets the stage for a very different relationship between JL founding members.

Fic rec! 29K Batman fic. Whump and Angst on 10.
Summary: AKA: Crane is synthesizing a new and improved fear toxin. His test subject: Bruce Wayne. His method: his children
Comments: Ooo, only read this if you want to hurt. Crane’s experiments are based around collecting samples from Bruce when he’s scared, and he scares him by straight-up torturing Tim and Jason in front of him. There’s 100% a weird sexual vibe coming from Crane, FYI, but nothing explicit. The whump is though - and the angst Bruce feels is so, so real.
What really got to me was the havoc this wreaks on their relationship because it’s set up to give scientific and actionable truth that Bruce has a favorite. (Crane notes a difference in his samples and makes Bruce choose which kid lives, which he does, in front of both of them.) Sure, they’re rescued at the end, but they’ll never escape these few days. Lots of scars - internal and external.
