Summary:

Jason would tell you that his most recent case, where he stopped a wannabe warlock's spell-in-progress, went just fine. Jason would also tell you he was fine with the distant, prickly status quo of his relationships with the other Bats. (Jason is maybe not the most reliable of narrators.) Or: A spell gone wrong leads to Jason hashing some things out--with himself, with Dick, and with the rest of the Batfam. Featuring: rather a lot of thoughts and conversations about memory, change, damage, love and trust, accountability, family, hurt, lies, death, Spyral, pedestals, cases, memorials, stories, and Robin.

It's a very interesting exploration of what it means to be Robin from Jason's pov and I really enjoyed it.

Time travel/dimension travel fic recs for Batman

THERE IS NOT EVERYTHING I LOVE but there's a list of the stories that were easiest to find on my bookmarks!!! I guess these fics are pretty popular, so everyone knows them, but still!!

Fics on ao3 because I've never read any time travel batfam fics on fanfiction.net: - The Bat's Crest by livierambles (Tim's not woobified and the Bat-Clan (not just the family, ALL of them!) being so, so competent. It hurts to read other fics after this one); the author loves comics and it's cool; - one day at a time by Nyame (Batman Beyond included! How cool is that?? Also it's not just about Jason, they are all deep both in the past AND the future); the author loves comics and it's cool; - Hope is the Thing with Feathers by TheSilencer (this one is only for those who love to read about Jason and Dick relationship - no slash); - Keep Your Head, Your Backbone, and Your Heart by MrMich (recommend to read even if you know almost nothing about Duke Thomas, because I enjoyed it anyway); - No pressure by Valkirin (I remember nothing about this, but it's in my bookmarks so go take a risk, maybe you'll like it too); - The Till-Then From the Ever-Since by Kieron_ODuibhir (read it not for the time travel part but for the part that— HOW THE HELL DOES AUTHOR KEEP ALL THE CHARACTERS BUSY, THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM); - Raisin Delight by LemonadeGarden (this was a cool one!! Case fic with angst and GREAT ending); - something cool probably on my bookmarks that i missed by accident.

ALSO not time/dimension travel BUT a fic that time-travel lovers might love: Recollect, re-collect by Ptelea! Jason-centric but the ritual to restore everyone's memory at the end is GOOD, includes conversations about Robin as a symbol and Dick Grayson admitting that it was his nickname given by his mother Mary but then saying "But I'm not the only child anymore" AAAAJSJSKKSKKSSL. Cool fic, cool fic.

That's all!

Guess who’s here with a fic rec after complaining about this place yesterday 👌

Anyway I just read this and really, really liked it<3 Possibly the only fair take I’ve seen on the particular WFA episode that got everyone so up in arms.

So much brotherly bonding<3 some exploring of personal sensitivities and issues<3 Jason and Tim having meaningful conversation<3 even a tiny bit of Tim big brothering Damian<33

I so appreciate a nuanced take that’s fair to all characters and doesn’t jump on any particular person’s side just because they’re the author’s favorite character. Heavily recommend<33

Ptelea trifoliata

Wafer Ash, not a true ash, instead it’s one of the scrub citrus in the family Rutaceae. Rutaceae is known for having Pellucid oil glands which aid in attracting many pollinators to their flowers, instead, we see the great swallow tail butterfly attracted to the foliage and chemically selecting the leaves for it’s larva as a host plant. The flowers themselves are said to be mainly fly and wasp pollinated. In prairies these shrub like species offer a lot of shelter and can even form fire break lines due to the lack of fuel underneath them. Spotted ground squirrels are known for inhabiting holes mainly but take shelter often around these thicket forming species when necessary. The ground squirrels are necessary parts of remnant prairie as they cause aeration of soil and the translocation of microbes ideal for prairie soil health. In this photo many Liatris spicata can be seen among the Echinacea purpurea, Monarda fistulosa, Silphium trifoliatum,   and Ratibida pinnata. This individual plant occurred solitary in this circumstance; but is still a beautiful and integral part of the greater prairie around it, just as splendid as any forbe/wildflower in the prairie mosaic.

Plant of the Day

Monday 7 October 2019

These bunches of flattened, winged seeds provide autumn interest on the large, deciduous shrub or tree Ptelea trifoliata (hop tree, stinking ash, wafer ash). As the specific name indicates it has tripartite leaves which are aromatic, as are the star-shaped, pale green flowers as well as the bark.

Warnings: None

Summary:

There's a time loop that only Jason remembers. It acts as a catalyst for changes within the family. Some arguments, some misunderstandings, some bonding, some healing, and quite a lot of conversations that mostly take place over food. Dick POV, focused on Dick and Jason but with the other Bats around and very present.

Submitter's comment:

A good long(ish) read. Great take on the time-loop trope, focusing more on the aftermath than solving the loop. But the real reason everyone shoul read this is the authors fantastic way of writing Dick and his relationship with Jason.
