Jason and the Three Terrors by Cdelphiki

Summary
One moment, Jason was peacefully sleeping, perfectly content with his life with the League of Assassins. Okay, so maybe not content content, but he wasn't unhappy, either. Then Talia woke him up at 2 am, threw three children at him, and told him to get them to America and far away from Ra's al Ghul.
What the fuck.
The last thing he wanted was to see Bruce. But with three brats relying on him and no Talia, there weren't many options for sanctuary. He just didn't expect the kids to grow on him so much in two short weeks.

Summary
I grieved for my future self. Now that I felt this kind of relief flooding my body, my resolve cracked on the floor like glass, the pieces skidding under my own feet. I didn’t know how I would ever put it back together. But even more distressing, I didn’t know how I would be able to deny him. Our bond. That instinct within him and that had been growing in me infinitesimally each day I saw him, touched him, thought about him…
Because even though Emily had said theirs was triggered by a single moment, I had had a growing suspicion, no matter how much I tried to deny it, that ours was different. Gradual.
That, without even realizing it, I had stumbled into something I hadn’t meant to and was now caught in it. Like a web that fused to my own skin, indistinguishable.
And, finally, that any more than one more weekend with him would kill me, if I ever became a vampire. Would kill us. Swifter and harder and more agonizing than death at the hands of the Volturi could ever be.

OR an Eclipse re-write with everything we love: slow burn, angst, fluff, smut, and a new take on imprinting that isn’t gross. The first few chapters pull heavily from Eclipse, but the writing after those is primarily all my own!

Summary
Jason Todd died once. It didn’t stick.
Now a revenant with a stuttering heartbeat and a soul that won’t stay buried, he hunts the things that crawl out of the dark. But nothing he’s fought, not demons, not ghosts, not monsters wearing human skin, comes close to the pair now stalking the hunter circuit. They’re carving through veteran hunters like wheat. One is a towering brute in a mask.The other is a beautiful, shackled young man whose presence feels like gravity—quiet, strange, and impossible to ignore.
Every instinct Jason has screams danger.
Something about him feels ancient, bound, wrong.
And yet Jason can’t look away.
He’s going to have to kill them both.
He just wishes the pretty one wasn’t making the job so damn complicated.

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.
-🦇-
Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

Summary
Jason doesn’t think much about what life would be like if he didn’t live in Gotham, if he wasn’t doing the kind of work he is now. He figures it’ll probably happen eventually—everyone retires, right?
He isn’t expecting it to go like this. Bruce exiles him from the place he’s lived his entire life, and Jason doesn’t know how to deal. He doesn’t have a purpose or a plan.
So what he does is: he gets on his bike, and he rides.
Or: a look at some of the strangest, most challenging days of Jason’s life. But, maybe, things turn out okay in the end.

Summary
Tim’s hand grips tighter on the coffee, more determined to keep his hold on that than his phone or keys, and thank god, he doesn’t drop the drink. But the rest of it slips through his fingers, and the guy he just slammed into has some seriously great reflexes, because he manages to snatch them both out of the air before they can hit the ground.
“Oh, god, sorry—” Tim starts to say as the guy straightens up, and then he stops. A set of amused green eyes look down at him over a wide grin.
You’ve got to be kidding, Tim thinks.
“Got somewhere to be, sweetheart? Oh, now that’s a pretty shade of red you’re turning—”
“I’m late,” Tim snaps, snatching his keys and phone out of Jason’s hand. “I got lost four fucking times on my way here. If this city was a person, I would throttle it.”
-
Or: Gotham is alive, and it won't stop pushing Jason and Tim together.

All Jason wanted was a case that was simple, clean, and far away from the latest mess in Gotham. Magic wasn't the Outlaws' area of expertise, but they soon found themselves investigating a dark wizard with a penchant for organ harvesting.
When an accident on the case leaves Jason as a clueless seven year old with a memory that's spotty at best, what else can his team do but go to his family for help?

Summary
A new vigilante has started to stalk the criminals of Gotham and unlike the Bat, he's ending them where they stand. Batman is trying to team up with Nightwing to put the serial killer behind bars but between his own ailments, Dick's distraction with a mysterious and foul-mouthed young man named JT Bennet, and Tim's constant interrogations he's not sure he'll survive this investigation. (This story contains some canon but does not follow it. I cannot warn enough that this story is NOT canon compliant and because of this some characters will be a little OOC. Dick Grayson is GCPD instead of Bludhaven because I didn't like the man he became once he moved there. Other stuff changes to fit my story line. This is a male on male slash story with some explicit content.)

‘Green.’
‘I don’t believe you.’
Steve grits his teeth, drops his head.
His hands are bound at the front, the rope of his wrists running down between his closed knees, around his cock, against his balls and under still, all the way to his ankles. Any movement of the hands drags friction. Clever design, but then Eddie always was the fucking Picasso of pain.
Steve tells himself he’d have said no to the drink.
It’s such a fucking lie.
Just like the green.

Summary
‘Nah, I wanna be the Alpha,’ Steve laughs easily, light-hearted and disconnected from reality, god, Eddie’s jealous. ‘You can be my little bitch.’
Eddie’s cock gives a treacherous kick of applause and that is really, truly the last straw. ‘OK,’ he says loudly, firmly freeing himself, even though Steve takes a decent chunk of hair for his trouble. ‘I gotta go now, for real. Like. I cannot be here for this. You’re in heat, Harrington. You’re…’ He closes his eyes, steps back. There are better people to tell Steve this. ‘You’re an Omega.’
Steve, for his part, is watching Eddie with drunken moody eyes, wholeheartedly unimpressed. ‘I don’t wanna play angsty shit, Munson. That’s dull.’
