Batman - All Media Types+1

In Which Batman Has

by AKnightOfAGoodKing

batfamscreaming.tumblr.com: "AU where the Justice League forms like usual, except Batman maintained his “totally a myth” status and has in fact been active for years before the JL forms. He’s very cautious about trusting them, but still joins, and the others sort of accepts that as long as they trust that Batman has a really hard time with trust, it will all work out in its own weird way" So it would be a great surprise if all of the sudden, everyone started meeting the children no one ever knew he had.

Black Vinyl

by xXAria_ParkinsonXx

At a glittering, suffocating Muggle awards gala, Regulus Black is counting the minutes until he can escape—until he quite literally collides with Justin Bieber, a boy too bright, too charming, and far too persistent to ignore. What starts as irritation in a quiet hallway becomes something sharper, stranger, and dangerously compelling. Justin, used to a world that revolves around him, is fascinated by the one person unimpressed by his fame. Regulus, raised in control and cold precision, finds himself pulled into something messy, warm, and entirely unscripted. One conversation turns into stolen moments, stolen kisses, and a reckless decision neither of them can quite take back. By the time the cameras catch them, it’s already too late. What was private becomes spectacle—what was accidental becomes undeniable. And somewhere between flashing lights, public chaos, and the watchful eyes of the Black family, something real takes root.

A Scene at the Hotel

by theorbess540

With his head down, he heard more then saw the door open again. He called out a greeting, but it must have been drowned out beneath the howl of the wind, because the potential guest didn’t return it. They pushed the door shut and walked over, footsteps sharp against the wood. Marius’ fingers found the new register book, and he'd mostly pulled it out when the guest spoke.“Hello, do you have three beds available? Single and a double room would be best, but we can adjust.”Marius’ neck snapped up. “Meryl?”Huh, speak of the devil. His wayward cousin blinked, her violet eyes wide. “Marius?”
