how do i say goodbye? by Irri_table123
Summary:
Poe didn’t like goodbyes. That’s why he stayed away from people most of the time. Saying “Hello” would eventually lead to a “Goodbye”. And he hated that this moment had come now, too. After everything, he didn't have a place in Yokohama anymore. Ranpo had defeated him and Poe had accepted that this would always be the case. He was a good mystery writer, and he knew now that Ranpo admired him for that, but he would never be able to compete with him. Which is why he had to go. Staying around would be useless. He’d be a burden to everyone. A third wheel to the Agency.
or, Poe wants to go back to America, though Ranpo has other plans...
Isn't finished, but it's still 24 chapters of Ranpo and Poe! They both have problems, but aren't opening up to each other ARGHHH!
On Failed Attempts at Seduction (and Other Reasons Why Character B Deserves a Happy ending) by featherx
Summary:
“I need a beta,” Poe says. It’s a regular Saturday afternoon—Poe’s brainstorming for a new book idea, Ranpo is lazing on his couch, and Karl is feasting on some unfortunate apples.
Ranpo clears his throat. “I’m an alpha. That okay with you?”
(Or, where Ranpo is trying his best, Dazai is extremely unhelpful, and Poe is just confused.)
Hah! So basically it's just Ranpo trying his best to flirt with Poe, but Poe is absolutely oblivious. It's absolutely hilarious!!! You have to read it LMAOOO.
Pendulum by sortablue
Summary:
Caught between the budding realization of his feelings for Ranpo and a series of murders linked to the Guild, Poe is left reeling.
When Poe himself becomes the newest target, Ranpo must race against time to save Poe before three days time is up.
Love it! Kind of angsty in like an injury way, but it's sweet and poor Poe needs some help.
Not What He Seems by sopenation
Summary:
Ranpo looked like he still wanted to argue but to everyone’s amazement, he obediently pulls out his unfinished stack of reports and begins filling them out, albeit while sulking around the lollipop in his mouth.
Across the room, Yosano has the biggest shit-eating grin on her face, Dazai looks like he’s just struck gold, and Kunikida—his previous task of strangling the aforementioned man long since forgotten—busies himself by frantically searching for gift baskets to thank the American.
Edgar is not the pushover most people think he is.
Shows a new side of Poe that ppl don't usually see! Super interesting and a fresh view of him!
A Raven in The Moonlight by GloomyG3cko
Summary:
The agency has only hears of the elusive Poe when Ranpo is going to hang out with him when his off a case, so this is a few stories of them interacting with the man himself.
(Basically Edgar Allan Poe being a badass for 6 chapters.)
Shows a slightly dark side of Poe but he's still the sweet little guy he is heh.
they've called me mad (yet I am only madly in love with you) by Jazer
Summary:
Edgar has been through a lot of things - pain, loneliness, sadness, helplessness and overwhelming, crushing fear of never being good enough.
And even so, none of those things could have prepared him for Edogawa Ranpo.
(Or: Edgar gets unofficially "adopted" by the Agency and Ranpo thinks violet is the prettiest color).
Aperture by featherx
Summary:
“I propose,” Ranpo declares, crossing his arms in the most infuriating, arrogant stance Poe’s ever seen in his life, “a horror film.”
— where Poe and Ranpo are rivals from different classes, but have to collaborate on a film together to win a competition.
Totally oblivious Poe who has no idea what Ranpo is talking abt half the time LMAO! Cute showings of Poe's talent of writing and being flustered and a lil confused when Ranpo compliments it <3. Adorable.
The Way It Stops and Starts by doppelnoir (kiritime)
Summary:
After Ranpo's only shot at romance in his entire twenty-six years of living at his cute rival in an investigation competition, imagine his complete and utter embarrassment when the only person who ever caught his heart's attention shows up six years later with an elaborate plan to get revenge?
WHY?
All I ever wanted was a date, you gorgeous insane man, Ranpo thinks miserably as Poe stares at him with a maniacal smirk behind bangs even thicker than before. Why are you doing this to me? Did I really mess up that bad?
Ranpo pretends not to remember him at first. It's the only way to preserve his dignity while he's actually trying not to crumble under the weight of his stupid twenty year old past-self, and usually he'd rather DIE than call himself stupid.
But slowly, the embarrassment fades. Because Ranpo realises something that day, something that makes his brain stir with a very unfamiliar emotion that he thinks is called 'longing'.
Poe is so much more brilliant than Ranpo could have ever imagined.
alternately, the story of Ranpo Edogawa feeling constantly confused by his clever and adorable new friend.
Ranpo just wanting a date and Poe being oblivious to what Ranpo thought of him the whole time. AHH SO CUTE HAHA!
keeping an eye out (while i flirt with you) by Irri_table123
Summary:
Ranpo goes to a bar. Poe is the local bartender. Plenty of flirting happens.
Flirty Poe??? Dammmmmmm, that's new amiright? Something cool at the end!
betrayal from the beginning by Irri_table123
Summary:
Poe has given Ranpo the plans and designs for the Moby Dick. After everything, Fitzgerald wants revenge.
Poor Poe, bro... but Ranpo comes to the rescue! Thank God, bro! And the author!
And... that's it! Tell me if you liked it in the comments! If you want, or the links don't work for some reason, you can find all of these fics in my bookmarks! My account in ao3 is the same as my user (wishywashy14)!
Guys I'm watching White Collar rn, and this girl (i forgot her name) just called Neal 'Boy Wonder'. Is this where all the Batboys are actually Neal Caffrey fics kind of came from?!!!!!!!!
I mean Neal Caffrey is like a fake name, so thats prob where some of the fics could have came from, but the 'Boy Wonder' thing is just like yknow. Has something to do with the batboys.
Another One Bites The Dust: Tim dies and gets revived in the Lazarus Pits on the mission to rescue Bruce from the time stream. His fam does NOT know. But they're abt to find out 😈.
I really love the idea of Tim being Duke's robin. I just love their relationship. It gives Tim the chance to be a big brother to someone without them trying to kill him. He's always wanted to be an older brother, and Damian didn't really let that happen. And Duke is just like the sweetest kid ever. I am definitely gonna make a fic of them bonding.
Bruce: I know it’s hard, but you must remain forgiving and merciful, Jason.
Tim, who had to watch Bruce skin a man alive like a piece of salmon with a batarang for saying something rude about his then deceased son, throw him in the back of the Batmobile, and drive him to the hospital just to beat him up again:
Tim: It was great. All of my friends died, Damian tried to kill me multiple times, Dick replaced me and called me insane and threatened to put me in Arkham, my friends came back to life while I was out proving the others wrong, I lost my spleen and will to live, Ra's is weirdly obsessed with me and wants me or my heir, and I got kicked out of a window by him.
I just love how oblivious Tim is when it comes to romance. Like, somebody could take him on like five dates, and he would think they were just hanging out as friends. Then the other person would just be exasperated but so in luv with this dork at the same time. I just love it.
Together Once Again : Pollux's twin brother Castor died in the Battle of the Labyrinth. Castor comes back to life.

DC (Tim Drake):
Escape to Hawaii (I won't mind if you tag along) - not finished: Tim finds out that Jason is the Red Hood and alive before Bruce. He thinks that he's not needed anymore so he runs away to Hawaii.
Sleep? No. Spleen? No.: Jason comes by Tim's safehouse to find that he looks like he's on his last legs. Tim may have accidentally confessed something in this sleep deprived state.
Sleep? No. Spleen? No. is a part of an unfinished series called Old News for Tim, New News for the Batfam.
