Summary
Gaius hum noncommittally, “I think perhaps it’s time we had a proper discussion about your heritage.”
He blinks. When Gaius spoke about his familial ties, he was either gleeful recalling his youth with his sister or remarking mysteriously about his nature as Emrys and his responsibility to the magical community.
He tries for the first option, “Mum?”
A shake of the head indicates no.
“…the inherent cosmic-shattering nature of my general and unfortunate existence?”
A scowl indicates annoyance.
“What then?”
The physician harrumphs and gives up on mixing things in vials, “Your father was a dragonlord.”
Merlin and Balinor get to know each other for longer than an hour.

Summary
Tim knew, from the moment he stepped into a dead boy's suit, that things wouldn't end well.
Except…
There's something different about drowning alone. About falling off a cliff into an icy ocean and knowing that no one's going to save you – not because they couldn't make it in time, but because they didn't even notice you were gone.
***
OR; A shit ton of Tim Drake whump, dubious blood magic, deadly mermaid-esque water spirits, morally grey Tim, Batfam feels, and as many little head cannons as I could feasibly fit in one fic. NOTE: This is NOT a major character death story… (at least, not a traditional one). Major content warnings are tagged, and additional warnings are included in chapter summaries. -

Summary
After Loki’s fall from the Bifrost, the wormhole threw him nearly half a millenia back in time in Midgard. Over the centuries, he has forged a new identity for himself and is content with his tenuous grasp on inner peace and he will do everything in his power never to return to Asgard, even if the most stubborn, tenacious god of thunder is trying to kick down his front door.

Summary
So, it didn’t start out like this.
Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-
So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.
It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:
“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”
--
A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Summary

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.
