Batman - All Media Types+3

One more shot, another round

by Aaren

Trust.It was as hard to give as it was to receive. And it was even harder to rebuild, after years of hurting each other. Good thing that they were nothing if not stubborn.In a family of lunatics with gigantic trust issues, manipulative impulses, and greater spying skills, well.... It's not exactly as easy as it looks.Not that it looked easy in the first place. More like the 'Kalalau' than a walk in the park, really. Bringing Jason back in the fold, one conversation at a time.

Museum Bonding

by Featherfur

“Chengcheng, please, what did he do? You know you can’t treat him like me, he and his brother aren’t like us.” Wuxian hummed, thinking about the well-mannered Xichen fondly. They really were so much more lowkey in their arguments.“I hate you, I hate you so much and I hate him… We’re… bonding and I don’t like it.” The way Jiang Cheng howled it into the phone, Wuxian would have thought he was being actively killed rather than just wandering around a museum. Wei Wuxian wants his brother and fiancé to get along and decides to leave them alone at a museum. It works, but it takes a few punches and a near heart attack for Wei Wuxian. Apparently, punching fiancé's is a family tradition.

still comparing your past to my future

by Neuqe

Something else than the wallowing feeling of uneasiness, anxiety and hurt in the bottom of his stomach. All of it seems to have a chokehold on his heart and no matter what he tries to think about, his thoughts always go back to TK, to worry that keeps mixing in with everything, and the brightness of TK’s smile, the way the corner of his mouth curled up and his eyes shone, when he smiled at someone else than him.
