Tim and Damian are not happy about it

Summary
Bruce calls it monitoring.
Jason calls it a leash.
Tim calls it a bad idea approximately twelve minutes before Red Hood finds the first tracker and sends him a photo of it drowned in diner cola.
Assigned to keep Jason Todd from escalating a weapons-trafficking case into a body count, Tim expects resistance. He expects threats, broken surveillance equipment, encrypted insults, and Jason being exactly as infuriating as every report says he is.
He does not expect Jason to be careful with scared kids. He does not expect Jason to trust him with dead drops, safehouses, and secrets Bruce does not get to know. He definitely does not expect to end up in Jason’s lap at five in the morning, grinding against him while case files slide off the couch.
When a corrupt Gotham councilman puts a bounty on Red Hood and targets Tim as his handler, the case turns into a trap built around everything Jason is afraid to want and everything Tim is too tired to hide.
Jason Todd does not need a leash.
Tim Drake might need to stop pretending he only follows him for the case.

Summary
"Calling all back to the Cave after tonight's patrol. This is non-negotiable." Oracle's distorted voice rang out through Nightwing's comms.
"O, you know I have to get back to 'Haven asap,"
"Non-negotiable, Nightwing. It's about Red Robin."
"What about him?"
"I have something you should see. He will not be present."
Or:
Barbara hacks into the camera on Tim's mask and discovers a new development in the man's life, and decides to show the rest. Dick is surprised to see Ra's pop up on screen, but what is even more surprising is how tender the man is.Bookmarked by Vertical_Horizons

Summary
Alastor and Vox make a simple deal with one another.
If one of them can predict five things Charlie Morningstar says within a day, then they win. If Alastor wins, Vox must promise not to air any negative publicity about the hotel, nor the princess.
If Vox wins, Alastor must do anything of Vox's request for an entire week.
A lighthearted deal between old friends. What could be the harm in it?

Smut begins chapter two, and the first chapter can be read as a stand-alone thing, I think! I yap about the two a lot and I was inspired by The Office and generic romcoms soo yeah!

Summary
Vox was pointing to Alastor, then putting his palm flat on his chest. His expression, as much as Angel could see of it, looked pathetic, beaten down, a sad little doggy that someone tried to drown in the river. Oh fuck, oh fuck, Angel thought, is he in love with him? It’d explain a lot. Was an honest-to-Lucifer soap opera playing out in their own backyard? Could Angel possibly be so lucky?
Angel sees something he shouldn’t and decides to take his fun where he can get it, which means inserting himself into a resistant Alastor’s life as his new gay BFF and confidante. Meanwhile, Alastor tries to make sense of the changes he’s gone through over the decades, and Vox struggles with the prospect of losing his fragile empire.
