Summary:

In a world of scientifically proven psychic abilities, the practitioners - the so-called Talents - are called on to serve the public good. This is never more true than in Gotham, where the Wayne Parapsychic Institute works diligently for justice and peace in what is otherwise a mecca of rogue Talents. Bruce Wayne is one of the most powerful Talents on record; a Prime. So are all his children. All, that is, except for Tim Drake; a winged donkey to their high-flying Pegasus. Fed up with the constant reminders that he will never be able to catch up to their flight into the stars and beyond, he leaves. Trying to put the shattered pieces of his life together, he comes across Jason Todd; former member of the Wayne Parapsychic Institute and a powerhouse in terms of Talent, alive in an asylum years after everyone assumed him dead. Tim is determined to help Jason find a way back. Jason might end up teaching him a way forward.

Submitter's comment:

A wonderful fic that looks at Tim's relationship with the rest of his family (minus Jason). It's got a delightful cyberpunk-fantasy world going on, with great world-building, and Tim's delightful in his characterization, as is Jason. And the relationship between Jason and Tim are great, and brought together in such a wonderful way.

Jason Todd has a plan. Get into the Charitable Education Associations Annual Masquerade, complete his mission, and leave. He didn't expect to get stymied before he even got in the doors by an unexpected layer of security. Already planning just how many security guys he's going to have to go through to make his escape, he's just as surprised as everyone else when the gorgeous young man sent out to confirm his invite let's him through... as his date!

Suddenly Jason has just a single night to convincingly fake a relationship, complete his mission, reconnect with someone from his past whom he was never able to leave behind, uncover the sinister goings-on behind the scenes of a charity school, dodge both Batman and Nightwing as they stalk him through the ballroom, try to save a bunch of kids from a horrible fate, make up for a mistake he'd never even known he'd made and somehow, someway, try to rescue the last good bit of his childhood that he remembers from the forces trying to control him and maybe also from himself as well.

No pressure.

After battling ninjas, aliens, madmen, mafiosos, other heroes and death itself, Jason was about to face his most unknown foe yet: a normal life.

It's fine. He'd always dreamed of going to college and for once reality sort of lived up to expectations. He loves the classes, he can handle the workload and his cases too. His roommate is a total douche, but whatever. Jason's fine, he's got this.

Then he meets his roommate's brother.

Jason totally doesn't have this.

Despite everything he might have tried to avoid it, Jason had to grudgingly admit that after a) utterly failing to kill any of his family and b) getting to the stage of actively helping them not die, he was actually back in the family for the long haul. Damn it. Somehow this turned into Jason taking a job in the family business, which would be well within his comfort zone if they were a mafia syndicate, instead of the proprietors of a business that generated a significant fraction of America's GDP.

Jason has reservations about this.

There is one consolation in this hellscape of paperwork, meetings, snotty IT workers and being co-workers with his idiot brothers. He meets an intern named Tim, who never fails to make him smile.

What Is Moxibustion and Why Are More People Curious About It?

If you’ve been exploring natural wellness treatments lately, you’ve probably seen the word moxibustion pop up.

And if your first reaction was, wait, what even is that? you’re not alone.

Moxibustion is a traditional therapy that uses heat from dried mugwort, often called moxa, near specific points on the body. It’s commonly linked with Traditional Chinese Medicine and is often used alongside acupuncture.

At first, it can sound a little unfamiliar. But once people understand what it is, it makes a lot more sense why interest in it is growing again.

So why are people drawn to it?

A big reason is that many people are looking for wellness options that feel a little more balanced and a little less extreme.

Not everyone wants harsh treatments or fast fixes. Some people just want something that feels supportive, calming, and more in tune with the body.

That’s part of the appeal of moxibustion.

People often get interested in it because:

it feels more natural

it’s usually gentle and warming rather than intense

it fits into a holistic wellness routine

it can be paired with other therapies like acupuncture

it offers a more calming experience than people expect

What does it actually feel like?

Most people describe it as a steady warmth.

Not painful. Not aggressive. Just a controlled heat that feels soothing when it’s done properly.

That relaxing side of it is probably one of the biggest reasons people stay curious. It doesn’t just feel like a “treatment.” It often feels like a pause from stress too.

And honestly, that matters more than people think.

Is it worth trying?

That really depends on your expectations.

If you want an instant miracle, this probably isn’t the kind of thing you’ll connect with.

But if you’re open to traditional therapies and you like the idea of something gentler and more intentional, moxibustion can be really interesting to explore.

A lot of the appeal comes from the fact that it doesn’t try to feel dramatic. It’s more about warmth, balance, and support.

One important thing

It should be done by someone qualified.

Since it involves heat, this isn’t one of those things to casually guess your way through. If someone has skin sensitivity, breathing issues, pregnancy-related concerns, or other health conditions, it makes sense to ask a trained practitioner first.

Final thought

Moxibustion is one of those wellness treatments that sounds unusual until you understand the point of it.

Then it starts to click.

It’s not about hype. It’s not about doing the most. It’s more about giving the body a kind of support that feels steady, calm, and grounded.

And for a lot of people right now, that’s exactly why it stands out.
