Do you have any all time favorite fics?
yep! some of these are ooc, but i crave familial hurt/comfort in a way that someone with a healthy family cannot.
ya’aburnee by destiny919: tim gets buried alive. jason, back in gotham, taps into bat-comms just as the entire situation is being revealed, and the panic in tim’s voice flips a switch in him. i really love this one because...well. read it.
middle children must unionize by poteto: title is accurate. as you can probably tell, i like healthy(ish) sibling relationships. also tim has photos of the people he loves on his fridge and i am an absolute sap. it’s fics like these that make me even want to try and fix this goddamn family of mine
in my arms by lurkinglurkerwholurks and smeared with oil (like david’s boy) by call_me_steve: bruce feels fatherly affection for his kids. like when you see someone and you are instantly seized by all the love you have for them—bruce never got to see any of his kids at their littlest, and now that he can, well. he’ll savor it for as long as he can (both good authors!! check them out!)
operation birthday by incogneat_oh: not only does this fic agree with my ‘acts of service’ tim hc, it also adds a little distance between m’boys (and along with that, more believability). it’s a fic about ways people show love. (absolutely cannot stress how much i love this author’s writing. check ‘em out)
here’s a reminder (that you haven’t fallen through the cracks) by popsunner: very good. has siblingism, as well as pretty much all tbat batkids (no i am not counting the rows) (this author just. has Good Fics. highly recommend)
code bat by listentothelittlebird: a mixed bag of a series (with a rotating ensemble cast), much like the family it’s centered around
a soft place to land by unchosenone: more acts of service!tim. a lot of mutual care, a lot of comfort
parent’s evening by jupitermelichios: awkward new dad bruce goes to dick’s parent-teacher conference (sans dick)
buy one (get five free) by mintchocolate5: superbat AND batfam. damian is a child, and really there is nothing bad about this fic
hot dog, french fries by eggmacguffin: tim & damian solve a problem together, damian wears the cowl, and the two bond (check out the rest of em’s work!! it has some of my favorite emotionally destructive, guilty pleasure family fics)
go the fuck to sleep: a tim drake-wayne story by jcp_sob_rjl_lmep: comfort fic! author writes some good shit too
shutterbug by goldkirk: if you want to feel something, well! here you go! this entire goddamn series told me to go fuck myself and i cried. a lot.
other writers i like: sunnyblue, autumnhobbit, audreycritter, nxttime, fishfingersandjellybabies, renecdote, probably a lot more but it’s seven in the morning so yeah! let’s end it there (but feel free to hmu for more recs)
