Summary
Batman can’t kill to avenge Robin. But Bruce Wayne isn’t Batman. Jason Todd isn’t Robin. And protection is another cup of tea entirely.
The idea for this came from a Tumblr post, but I changed it to make it my own – added some more conflict to make it more dramatic because you should never write at two am while jetlagged. It escalated. I know the internet likes that, so here you go. Knock yourselves out on the angst sauce. Don’t do actual drugs, kids.

Summary
[From Tumblr]: Good cop bad cop but Jim Gordon (the good cop) is passed out from blood loss and exhaustion and Batman (the obvious bad cop) bundles everyone involved (including his kids) into a corner booth at a 24 hour diner and proceeds to interrogate the suspect over shitty diner coffee and the sounds of his kids force feeding Commissioner Gordon apple pie and french fries.
It's the most intimidating interrogation that has ever taken place in Gotham.
(or, the one where May’s Diner has seen everything Gotham has to offer at night. almost everything, at least)

Summary
He's a good man, he’s meant to help people. He is also a weak man, with basic instincts and tendencies he tries not to nurture, but they pop up in various forms, nonetheless. Oswald might be dirt, but he is the fragile sort of dirt Jim didn’t feel too comfortable leaving open to Gotham’s freezing elements or Harvey’s bullying. A little too short, a little too skinny, the trembling line of his small mouth just that side of delicate.

Places to Sleep - But Different by EvaDragon

Summary
What if, instead of phasing into the back of the Batmobile on that fateful night, Danny phased into Jim Gordon's car instead. What if, instead of being adopted by the Batfam, Danny gets adopted by a man with too much stress, too little time, and a hacker Queen daughter, and who has to pretend he doesn't know who's under the masks of the Gotham Vigilante Family. What if...
Just a little brain worm that's been niggling in my head. Yes, some of the chapters will be MOSTLY the same. Some chapters will be entirely new. And Some chapters won't exist at all.

Summary
Peter doesn't know where he is, or who he wants to become after being dragged to another universe after his uncle's death. He doesn't know what to do, more than survive.
That's when some villains, vigilantes and the grief that reunite them becomes what helps him understand who he wants to become, and what he must do.
...
Or "Peter in Gotham and traumatized" but also "Everyone learns how to heal and try to become better people" because I wanted to write one too

First One in the Family (Unintentional Because of the Weird Circumstances but Still...) by GidstheWriter

Summary
It was supposed to be a normal patrol.
Sure, more weird villains were popping up, that voice in her head wouldn't shut up, she is decently sure that there is an alien hidden in the Gotham police force under a pseudonym, and John Dagget and his lacky were trying to get a head seat on the Wayne Enterprises board.
But at least there were patrols like this that could distract her from all that.
Well, it should have been a normal patrol. She expected to fight some criminals, help out a citizen or two, and ensure that the streets of Gotham were safe.
So how the heck did she end up with an eight-year old that looked like she had been to hell and back?

I am the night by Jazzyowl

Summary
Takes place during the Batman; The Animated series episode; I am the Night.
A quiet moment between scenes of sobriety, guilt and, anxiety after Commissioner James Gordon is injured during a drug bust.
Harvey Bullock blames himself, as he pressed Gordon to take action when Batman couldn't make it to the scene on time.Told from Bullock's perspective as he goes through the 5 stages of grief in about 2 minutes.
Also, Harvey Bullock being an uncle figure to Barbara Gordon because I will never get over their few and far between interactions throughout the Animated series and like one TNBA episode, and I wish there was more of them, it makes me so sad that yet again, I was robbed of pure wholesome content. Harvey would make an absolutely amazing uncle.

Summary
“Mlle. Dupain-Cheng,” he greeted her, internally wincing at the state of her, “I ought to talk to your teacher at this point,” he put his hands on his hips. The scrapes from yesterday were scabbed over but now, accompanying them were fresh tears, especially around
Her sour expression lifted immediately.
“Fancy seeing you here Monsieur Gordon,” she grinned.
“Well I do work here, in case you weren’t sure before,”
She put a finger to her chin, “I suppose I hadn't, thank you for enbrightening me,” she smiled.
“It’s enlightening, Mari,” the boy whispered in her ear.
“Ah, thank you for enlightening me then,” she corrected, smiling unfalteringly.
His gaze flickered to the other two girls a seat apart from the duo.
“And these are your friends?” he questions.
“Wrong, unfortunately, they are the reason we are here,” the boy helpfully supplied.Series

In the back of cop cars. Brilliant, right? Or at least Danny thinks so. What could wrong?
Nothing. Until trafficking ring gets busted up, and it's all-hands on deck, and Danny in his sleep-fogged head, phased into the back of the Batmobile. No one noticed until they were back at the Batcave. OOPS.

Denouement; or the Comprehension of one Tim Drake by moviefan_av5
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
23 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
"I chose to be Robin, nobody picked me."
Long story short; Tim Drake never became Robin. But no one ever said that Tim needed to be Robin. With his unquenchable thirst for detective work, his Batfamily fanboying and his general lack of self-preservation, sitting idly by while his vigilantes saved Gotham was never even an option.
And yet, this isn't even Tim's story, not quite; it's everyone else's. After all, Tim's never been the hero of his own story; he's just the guy on the sidelines moving other stories along.
-Or-
Tim Drake still manages to make everything his business and everyone else is in a perpetual state of shock and confusion.
