Peanuts

Peppermint Patrick by Tabby_Shieldmaiden
He was a man. When he first realised it, the fact hit him like a train. But it made a lot of sense. Very sweet, gentle story in which Peppermint Patty realizes he's a man.

Nonlinear, Jamie thinks. Trent explained that to him once, and it stuck with him, the idea that not everything just keeps on moving forward all the time. Sometimes people fall back into old patterns, sometimes things don't happen in the right order. Sometimes you think a story is going to tell you what happens next, and instead it turns around to look the other way. But the story isn't really moving backwards when it does that, Trent said. It's just using the backwards look to build a stronger foundation for moving ahead. Time loop! Oh Jamie. <3

Family Photos by MermaidMarie
As long as he got to be a part of it, he didn't need anything else. He didn't need anyone to see his photos, know how close he'd gotten, know the lengths to which he'd gone.

It was enough, he thought, that he knew. Oh Tim. Oh heart.

January rain, never really goes away by amberlo133
Dick knew he was going to have to get a handle on this somehow; get someone to pin him until he could work through the panic. Someone who he couldn't damage.

Well...he didn't have any big brothers but he did have someone brother adjacent who was bigger than him… Oh heart.

leave as though fire burns under your feet by perissologist
On a dewy Sunday morning in April, Dick Grayson, trust fund baby and local celebrity, is found dead at the tender age of 25. His abrupt passing sends his hometown, the sleepy beach town of Gotham, into a tizzy--and his former guardian, old money stalwart Bruce Wayne, reeling. But as Bruce struggles to come to terms with his ward's death, it rapidly becomes clearer and clearer to him that there's something off with this tragedy--no, this "town"--no, this entire reality... Mournful murder mystery - a sad but good read.

The Letter of Recommendation by Nokomis
After being recognized by the Riddler, Stephanie Brown gets pulled into a memorable girl’s night with him, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Hee! This is super fun!

Like a Bird of Paradise by Nokomis
To Steph’s utter delight, Jason asks her to be his backup on an undercover investigation at a strip club. Jason undercover as a stripper!!! This is adorable!

Penelophon by Telperien
Catwoman is a creature of the night, teasing and taunting Batman until he gives in. Selina Kyle is an ex-con trying to go straight, sticking with Bruce Wayne until her meal ticket becomes her boyfriend.

Then she finds out that Batman and Bruce Wayne are one in the same. Then he proposes. Really wonderful Bat/Cat. Oh heart.

temporal fraternity by envysparkler
Damian is stuck in a time loop and eventually makes his way to Tim for help. Oh boys.

We're All Alone In The Dark by Whalen
Pennyworth extracted the knife from his fathers hands and placed it gently in Damian’s much smaller ones and in that moment Damian understood why Jason insisted on showing Pennyworth the utmost respect, how despite the bitterness with which he often spoke on his previous life he had always saved a smile for the butler. Lovely, melancholy look at Damian when he arrives in Gotham.
