Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons (Slowed) by PumpkinWritesFandom

Summary
Steph, in a way, was much like Bruce. They were both children no one had asked for, begging and demanding that someone, who otherwise had nothing to do with them, take on the burden of wanting them.
Except she had been lucky; all of them were.
That in spite of everything, Steph had never wondered if wanting hands would catch her if she should fall.
So no, she will absolutely not hold back, nor will she even try to restrain the rest of the Wayne children who are equally ready to go to war for the man who took them in and called them his, regardless of the blood in their veins or what name they went by.
Because no matter the circumstances that led to a child's existence, they should never have to wonder if they will fall asleep safe and wake up loved.
Isn't that right, Alfred Pennyworth?

Summary
The kid seizes in pain, back bowing off the table, and lets out a choked sound, scrabbling at Vin’s wrist. He doesn't know what the hell the kid expected to happen, blowing a building up like that, but he wouldn't be talked out of it. Now he's got a hole in his belly and shrapnel lodged in his guts.
“Hell of a lot of blood in one body. Batman?”
“The explosion,” Vin grunts, wrapping the wound up tight. “Helped him rig the bomb myself.”

“What’s in there, anyway?” Charles asked, rolling down the window. “Looks heavy.”
“A few million dollars' worth of electroshock weapons,” the kid said, dead-serious. After a moment, a grin stretched across his face. “Nah, I’m just fucking with you. It’s old clothes, mostly.”

Summary
The League’s base is not built to welcome strangers.
Bruce is not a stranger.
He whips around another hidden corner, not bothering to try and silence the snap of his cape. There are no assassins waiting for him.
On the far side of the compound, another explosion echoes dully, Jason fulfilling his role with enthusiasm.
There will be bodies left behind when they leave this place. There is no time to dwell on it - Bruce compartmentalizes. It is easier than it might have been, some other time, some other mission.
He already found the room where Tim was being kept.

Summary
It starts when Nightwing accidentally calls Batman dad.
Barry thinks it's perhaps the funniest thing to happen in the history of ever. Then, he starts to notice that The Dark Knight actually does—kinda sorta maybe—act like a dad to the Gotham vigilantes?
It only gets weirder from there.
OR
5 times the League saw the Gotham vigilantes treating Batman as their dad, and 1 time they (kind of) admitted it.

Summary
Bruce didn’t want to die.
But he could think of no death more beautiful for a dying father.
To have achieved it in protecting his son, cradled in the arms of a boy once too small to wrap his arms around his waist.
It pained him to leave his son so early, so abruptly, but if it had to happen, Bruce couldn’t think of a more worthwhile death.
“I love you.”
Bruce keeps dying. He does not know that he's already died multiple times today but his children do. And they're going to save him.
(Groundhog Day fic told entirely from the perspective of someone who doesn't remember the loop.)

Summary
“Chin up, Mr. Kent,” comes Dallas’s clipped dialect. “I was simply worried that you alone were not enough… incentive for your lovely girlfriend to cave to our demands. But I doubt even Ms. Lane would be so heartless as to leave her oldest and dearest friend to my hospitality.” Dallas forces the man’s chin up, and Clark finds himself staring into the eyes of a trembling and bloodied Bruce Wayne.
Well damn. Hopefully Lois can get Batman on the line to get them out of this dumpster fire.
Or: Clark hasn't been able to make heads or tails of Bruce Wayne for months, but when they're both kidnapped by people trying to extort Lois, he's going to have find some common ground fast. Weird how Bruce reminds him of his colleague Batman, who Clark is pretty sure is terrified of him, but that's probably not important.
