Borrowed Time by Killbothtwins
Ankh-Morpork is struck with a crime spree. Well, reverse-crime spree. The Watch is (reluctantly) on the case. People are dying, and it's up to Vimes, Carrot, and Angua to figure out why. The Watch makes an interesting new ally, a fellow who talks in Aʟʟ Cᴀᴘs... this is a really good read and I enjoyed it a lot.

Stranger Things

the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you by greatunironic
Sixteen years after the world didn't end for the last time, Max Mayfield showed up on Steve’s doorstep and said, “You gonna walk me down the aisle in May or what?” Or, it’s 2002 and Steve Harrington attends a wedding, a funeral, and a birth. This is a really lovely, melancholy yet hopeful AU in which the Party gathers to celebrate and grieve together over the years.

An utterly hilarious and entertaining outsider POV on the Waynes, the Batfamily and Gotham, from a CPS case worker who gets called in to help Tim, who is apparently living with the Red Hood.

Bleed Myself Dry by dizarys
When a mysterious villain targets the Robins, forcing them together, Dick is bound and determined to keep his brothers safe no matter the cost. Unfortunately for him, so are they. Really good casefile + family feelings story.

Brother Wanted by Vamillepudding
Well-behaved boy (10) is looking for big brother (11-15). Must meet up with me three times a week, for at least two hours each. Overall duties include helping me with homework, playing videogames with me, and showing me how to play catch. 10$ per hour.

Tim, lonely and in desperate need of company, decides that if his parents are not going to give him a sibling, he's going to hire one instead. Luckily, Jason Todd-Wayne shows up in the nick of time. This is adorable and also hilarious. Oh Tim. Oh my heart.

Come In From The Cold by WinterSky101
The first winter after Dick leaves Batman and Gotham behind, the heat breaks in his apartment. Oh heart.

A Constellation of Complications by AuroraKant
No one besides a select few knew that Dick tried to solve the cases the people of the upper city were too busy to care about. Cases that dealt with the lower classes, the current addicts, the bitcoin debtors, the cyborg traders.

Cases like this one. A fun cyberpunk AU.

The Gaps in This Fence by ivy_and_mortar
Jason and Damian have a conversation about the meaning of family. Oh my heart.

Holy security breach, Batman! by destiny919
For this gala, however, he almost hopes they forget him again, because tonight Tim has a plan.

They're at Wayne Manor, and Tim is going to find the Batcave. Tiny Tim finds the Batcave. <333

Martyr Unmade by Here_we_go
Jason Todd was loved best dead.

Dead he was a saint. A martyr. Nothing was more sacred in the Church of Batman than martyrdom. Interesting, lyrical look at Jason through the lens of religion.

Missed Calls by nightwalker
Five times Jack Drake didn't answer his phone.

And one time he did, but it was already too late. Exactly what it says on the tin. Oh Tim.

Numb by ChimaeraKitten

Red Hood's been running Robin's Nest, a secret youth shelter in Gotham, since he came out of his murdery craze. He wants it to be a place to stay, no questions asked, with a hot meal provided if you stick around for breakfast. The kids of Gotham deserve that much.

Enter Stephanie, whose new name isn't the only secret she's keeping. I enjoyed this! ♥Steph♥
