A Grief Withheld by Nonsensicalwitheringrambles

Summary
Duke didn't think seeing them like this would ever get easier. Their lips pulled back into an uncomfortably tight expression, gums and teeth showing brightly, taunting him with their never ending mockery of a smile. His mother was gently tapping the glass, staring at him with glazed over, empty eyes. She didn't see him.

Summary
The burning sensation at the back of Jason's throat is what woke him up first. The static air forcing it's way into his lungs, and tearing at the lining of his throat. Forcing his eyelids open was a challenge like no other that he had to face, and when they finally did find their final resting place, open and alert, the young man assessed his surroundings.

Summary
Despite popular belief, Damian Wayne Al-Ghul actually did have feelings. Feelings that were, unfortunately, incredibly hurt. It started with a snide remark, an easily brushed off insult from Drake. Which evolved into a screaming match with him, which progressed to a brawl.

A Shambling Semblance Of What You Once Were by Nonsensicalwitheringrambles

Summary
Year one of the Batman project was going, well... As well as you could expect. Getting the shit kicked out of himself every night wasn't exactly what Bruce had planned, but he was working with it. He was getting better, stronger, he could last longer.
Tonight was... it was bad. It had started easily enough, solving a few neighborhood cases, getting into a small squirmish, returning a stolen purse. It had ended with The Riddler (Stupid name by the way) whacking him hard across the skull with a tacky, neon green cane shaped like a question mark. Overall a rough way to end the night, it was simultaneously embarrassing, and hurtful. To his body, not his feelings.
AKA, Alfred and Bruce have a long awaited conversation

Baby its Cold Inside (This Freezer) by Nonsensicalwitheringrambles

Summary
Out of all the people to send after Mr. Freeze, even Tim had to agree he wasn't the right choice. The case was interesting, sure, his skills were perfect for it, sure, but also. No spleen, no shirt, no service ya know? Not that Tim didn't want to freeze his ass off in an underground lab searching desperately for a fucking USB drive of all things-
Okay maybe this case sucked. Maybe his skills didn't suit this mission. But this is what he was doing, this is what Bruce asked him to look into. So there he was, up to the tits in frostbite, digging through what looked like an abandoned arctic base’s worth of junk. Seriously, it was like Mr. Freeze started hoarding in the last few years. It wasn't like his suit didn't have thermal protections, he wasn't stupid. But fuck this place was cold. Cold in the way that left your limbs all tingly and tight, that made your teeth clench together too tight and give you a headache.

All Girlbosses Go To Heaven by Nonsensicalwitheringrambles

Summary
In retrospect maybe Stephanie should've realized that any attempt to actually connect with Tim post breakup would be sabotaged. Sabotaged by themselves, one of the other Wayne’s, or God, was really up to fate to decide. Right now it was looking like God was behind this one. Because honestly who the fuck thinks to kidnap two college students at a Wetzels Pretzels at three in the afternoon?
Regardless, here they were. Well, here Steph was. Her kidnappers had actually been clever when they nabbed her and Tim, instead of a focused attack they just kinda threw out a canister of fear gas into the crowd, and snatched the two of them. Fear gas, as it turns out, sucks ass. It was barely wearing off after what felt like two straight hours of being under and Steph was getting bored. The constant hallucinations of her father wandering around the small room she was stuck in had lost their charm and had just become draining. The man was hell bent on circling her like a shark, whispering things he was sure would hurt her.

Getting Shot In The Head Has Side Effects by Nonsensicalwitheringrambles
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics)
07 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
The first seizure hit Dick like a kick to the head, quick, and out of nowhere. One moment he was sitting with Barbara watching a movie, and the next he was on the ground convulsing. He had never felt truly outside of himself more than that moment, like he was floating so far above himself watching as he lost control of his own body and thrashed there on the carpet.
It was safe to say he was in the ER not twenty minutes afterwards. His doctor was a short woman in her mid forties, she had a sort of exhaustion in his eyes that dulled them. Dick understood it.

Summary
Turns out being brought back from the dead does not exclude you from getting the flu. If anything it was looking like it made It ten times worse to get, but maybe Jason was just being a baby. He couldn't really be sure as he had been hacking his guts up for the better part of six hours, leaving him covered in mucus, vomit and sweat. He felt disgusted and was almost assured he looked it as well.
He was laid out across his bathroom tile, head pressed against the horribly cold floor trying desperately to get his fever down with as little effort as possible. He felt insane with how cold he was, his entire body was shaking from what felt like a negative ten degree atmosphere. Logically Jason knew that couldn't be true, but god did it feel like he was gonna get hypothermia if he didn't get up now.
AKA even super cool drug lord assassins get the flu

Summary
Tim was doing fine, honestly. He was taking his meds on time, he was seeing a therapist, he had friends. He was fine. Bruce was back from the dead, Tim had his own apartment, a new title, and a place in the company. He was doing the best he’d ever done. Sure, he wasn't really talking to Dick anymore, and Jason was as elusive as he'd ever been, Damian was torturing him from afar, Stephanie was almost exclusively hanging out with Cas and Babs and Tim couldn't find the guts to go actually visit Bruce, but he was fine. He was an adult, he could do this.
He was so fine. Hell, Tim was better than fine, he was thriving!

Unsupervised Caving, What Could Go Wrong? by Nonsensicalwitheringrambles

Summary
To his credit, Damian had just assumed his father was being over protective when he told him not to go exploring in the cave system that connected to the main batcave. In his defense, he had also seen an injured bat doing its best to fly deeper into the system, and had wanted to help.
Of course all those excuses were useless when he was faced with the reality that he was lost. Hopelessly, desperately lost. He hadn’t been paying close enough attention to what turns he’d been taking and was now in what could only be described as a small room full of bats. Just filled to the brim, with chirping chittering bats. It wasn’t his worst nightmare, infact Damian was quite pleased with where he’d ended up, but the looming fact that he didn’t know how he got here was starting to set him on edge.

Someone Here Needs to See a Therapist, and It's Not Me. by Nonsensicalwitheringrambles

Summary
The blood that was still dripping from Jason's broken nose was not helping the alcohol induced headache as the young man stared ahead at the cinder block walls in his cell. He used one of his bruised, torn knuckles to wipe away some of the blood, knowing the most it would do was make more of a mess. Honestly he hadn't been looking to get arrested tonight, he'd just been looking for a fight. An easy fight. Something to get his energy out on. Not... this.
He’d finished his patrol earlier than evening, all around it's been pretty quiet, almost nothing for Jason to get his hands dirty with. Which is how he'd ended up at a dive bar in the center of Gotham. It mostly catered to late night workers, people passing through the city, anyone besides Gotham's elite and powerful. Now, Jason would have gone to a fancy place to get roughed up a bit, but he wasn't exactly looking to get sued. So he'd landed himself a seat at the bar, told a guy with a confederate flag tattoo he looked fucking stupid, and got into a fight.
