An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Franklin Richards & Johnny Storm, Johnny Storm & Susan "Sue" Storm, Peter Parker/Johnny Storm Characters: Johnny Storm, Susan "Sue" Storm (Marvel), Ben Grimm, Reed Richards, Franklin Richards, Peter Parker, Harvey Elder Additional Tags: Yuletide Treat Summary:

“Johnny, the baby hasn’t even been born yet. You cannot launch a – what did you call it?”

“Line of young men’s and infant “uncle-and-me” athleisure,” Johnny said, smiling. He held up the folder again. “I repeat: I have sketches.”

Sue smiled back, strained, and nodded.

“I don’t want to see them,” she said, raising her eyebrows meaningfully.

“Sue!” he protested. “It’s a great idea! Think of all the uncles out there who have been waiting for a line of functional yet comfortable athletic wear that they can match to their favorite niece or nephew!”

“And how many uncles, roughly, would that be?” Sue asked.

Johnny held up a hand.

“Admittedly,” he said, “we haven’t conducted market research yet.”

"big brother shaped"

Fandom: Batman: Wayne Family Adventures, Batman (All Media Types) Chapters: 1/1 Relationship: Dick Grayson & Jason Todd

Additional Tags: De-Aging, Depression, Dick Grayson Needs a Hug, Angst & Humor, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Protective Siblings

Summary:

It should be hilarious when Dick gets de-aged: another brown-haired baby to throw into the playpen, this one no doubt climbing everything in sight and cheerfully babbling nonstop. Only Jason isn’t staring at a cheerful toddler. He’s looking down at a tiny, badly bruised child, shaking in his little Nightwing suit, staring up at Jason with poorly concealed terror.

(The de-aging, and the aftermath, and Dick and Jason Going Through It.)

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 莲花楼 | Mysterious Lotus Casebook (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua | Li Xiangyi Characters: Fang Duobing, Li Lianhua | Li Xiangyi, Di Feisheng Additional Tags: Getting Together, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, divergence happens pre-canon Summary:

It is very much a two-bedroom contraption that his new travelling companions share, but the bed on the upper floor is small and dusty, in the middle of a room that is otherwise full of boxes and seasonal gear. Fang Duobing is young – he can’t deny that – and some may say that he doesn’t have much of an idea about how the world works, but he’s not stupid. He knows what it means when two men travel around the jianghu together and their second bed is in a storeroom.
