Summary
“What did he do to you?” It’s the only thing Jason can think to ask.
“Sionis?” Tim looks surprised—but so politely surprised, so neutrally surprised, that he’s almost not surprised at all. “He kidnapped me, then he tortured me, then he taught me to run a criminal empire. And then I killed him.”
Jason hears the words without really processing them. Tim’s delivery is so flat that it makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up.
Something’s wrong here, every part of Jason’s brain is telling him.
-
Timothy Drake, the kid who's spent the last five years being groomed by Black Mask, shows up in Jason's safehouse asking for help to interrupt Scarecrow's plans. he's allegedly just a kid with good intentions, but he's got more red flags than personality traits and Jason shouldn't want to help him, but. well. he's Jason.Series

There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

Summary
The first time Cassandra speaks to Batman, it's in the language David Cain taught her. The way bodies speak is simple. Cassandra watches Bruce Wayne go, and thinks that people are not.
She goes back to Barbara. "I want," she says, and stops. She doesn't know the words for what she wants.
There's a story Cassandra heard once, about a boy made out of wood. He wanted something like this, too.
-
there are a lot of steps in between being a weapon and being a person.
Cassandra Cain becomes Batgirl. Batgirl becomes Cass Wayne. Cass isn't sure what it means, to be a person, and Batman isn't very good at teaching that. luckily Bruce has a protege or five to help her figure it out. -

Summary
The halo gets brighter the more people that Duke saves.
He’s pretty sure that’s how it works, at least. He inherited it from his mother the day the doctors suggested it as a possibility: we may not be able to help them, Mr. Thomas.
Duke doesn’t know what he is. He doesn’t feel like an angel; he has no divine purpose, no holy weapons, nothing but this stubborn light. But he looks at Robin and some part of him thinks I could do that, too and the halo, deep in his blood, sings.
-
or: an AU concept in which Duke's powers stem from the 10th metal: pure celestial possibility. he inherits a halo that has its own idea of Good and Evil.

Summary
An AU where Tim was imprisoned by Black Mask for most of his adolescence, trained to be his successor. His reintroduction to Gotham - and to Gotham's vigilantes - could go a little smoother. At least enough of his morality sticks around that he can probably consider himself safe from being a supervillain.
Though he isn't quite sure he qualifies for "superhero," either.

He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian by ErinPtah
Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale, His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman

Summary
Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).
But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

Summary
"Tim doesn’t step around Jason like he’s fielding landmines and he laughs at Jason’s jokes instead of flinching. Which Jason finds interesting, given that he’s definitely tried to kill the kid a couple times."
Tim and Jason have a bad fight, and then Tim gets really hurt on his way home right afterward.

Summary
“You’ve heard the rumors,” Mustang says, looking at Ed over the top of his latest report, “about the angels.”
Ed scoffs and rolls his eyes, “Angels don’t exist, don’t be ridiculous.”
“Of course, of course,” he murmurs, gaze sliding back down, “There have been multiple eye witness accounts, however.”
Ed slouches into the chair and doesn’t bother to keep the contempt to from his voice when he says, “Don’t depend on anything with wings to save you. Things that were made to leave always end up doing so, in the end.”
“Yes, well,” he says, “sometimes they come back.”
