Better Love by unfortunate17
everyone in the Barrel assumes Kaz is having sex with Inej and he's not sure how exactly he feels about that. This is sweet and hot.

Spider-Man

Through the Wilderness by Traincat
"Now you are suitable – completely untouched. Pure as new snow. All that trapped fire, in more ways than one… The perfect sacrifice."

Johnny's face had gone bloodless, his mouth hanging open. It took Peter a second for the reason to catch up to him, busy as he was, but then it hit him like the proverbial freight train: he'd said it himself, after all. He made a poor sacrifice because he wasn'’t a virgin.

Johnny, apparently, was.

--

An encounter with some cultists leads Peter to an interesting revelation about Johnny that he can't stop thinking about. Another encounter at Security College gives him something to do about it. Aw, this is a lot of fun.

Batfamily

A Bagel To The Brain by whaleofatime
Moments before the monthly family brunch, Bruce Wayne gets taken down and out by some fear toxin baked into bread. Alfred and all four prodigal sons work to pull him out of his hallucination, even as they heavily feature in Bruce's worst nightmare.

It comes down to a choice, and the realisation that brunch might actually be cursed. Oh my gosh this is hilarious and also heartfelt.

AU where Jason goes home at the start of his career as Red Hood, and it changes quite a lot. Long, compelling read. Oh Jason.

"The bat symbol on his chest was red," Dick continues, as if Jason didn't speak. "He came out of nowhere and I tried to stop him, but it was dark. He was quick and ruthless, and – he moved exactly like Bruce."

What happened was this:

Years ago, a father and son went to Ethiopia. Only the son came back.

Or so they thought. Excellent AU where it's Bruce who dies (OR DOES HE?) in Ethiopia, and Dick and Jason are left to pick up the pieces.

Alfred bonds with each of the Wayne children through baking. <333 (make sure you check out the art linked at the end, too!)

second impressions by Valkirin
Red Hood doesn't know that Stephanie Brown is the new Robin.

Tim Drake doesn't know anything about Red Hood or why he wants to fight Robin. All Tim knows is that a man in a red helmet just broke into his house.

Jason needs to figure out what's going on, Tim needs a dad, and Stephanie needs to figure out just how long she's going to last as Robin. <333 I enjoyed this a lot!

Jason calls Bruce when he's in deep trouble and Bruce answers. <3

Cass, Damian, and a winter afternoon. A really lovely slice of life story.
