Batman/Batfamily/Gotham
3. Title: Nemesis
Genre: AU
Fandom/Universe: pre-DCnU
Characters/Pairings: Bruce/Tim
Warnings: AU, Tim is three years younger than Bruce, identity porn, angst, mistaken identities, criminal empires, Ra's al Ghul as Henry Ducard, but not much else.
Summary: When Bruce comes back to Gotham after his seven year journey around the world, he expects that things will have changed. He's changed after all so Gotham will have too. But he discovers that far more has gone wrong during his absence than he thought could have, including the one person he thought would wait forever for him having moved on in strange and unexpected ways.
Tim has changed during his absence, becoming someone completely different from the boy that Bruce fell in love with. Instead of the steadfast ally he expected Bruce now has a perfect nemesis determined to destroy him utterly.
Finding their way back to each other's sides through the maze of lies and mistaken identities threatens to take more time than they have available as another, much more serious, enemy lurks in the background waiting to destroy not just them but all of Gotham as well.
8. Title: Our Darker Purpose
Genre: Gen/Angst
Fandom/Universe: Batman (disregarding the reboot)
Characters/Pairings: Damian Wayne, Talia al Ghul, Ra's al Ghul, Bruce Wayne, the former Robins and Damian's clone
Warnings: Excessive and graphic violence, death of non-canon character, morality issues stemming from the assumption that certain characters are effectively brain dead.
Summary: Having effectively turned all of the former Robins into little more than puppets, Talia has once again gained the ability to pull Damian's strings. Trapped by conflicting loyalties to all parties involved, Damian must choose what is still worth saving--his clone's future or all that is left of the past Robins--before he becomes all Talia once wished him to be. Meanwhile, Ra's has not forgotten earlier slights . . . or his errant descendants.
Green Lantern
2. Title: we have not yet touched the stars (working title)
Genre: action/adventure
Fandom/Universe: Green Lantern (comics)
Characters/Pairings: Jillian "Cowgirl" Pearlman, Jillian Pearlman/Hal Jordan, Hal Jordan Carol Ferris (mentioned)
Warnings: attempted non-con, torture
Summary: Jillian Pearlman of Earth. You have the ability to overcome great fear.
She's been called plenty of things in her life - Jill, Jilly, Pearlman, Captain, Cowgirl - but Green Lantern is certainly a new one. Jillian Pearlman, from when she first knew she wanted to fly, to when she earns her wings as Earth's newest Green Lantern. And of course she's scared, she's terrified, but she was made to be in the air and there's no challenge she won't back down from.
(Canon-compliant through most of Green Lantern vol. 4 and Green Lantern vol. 5, not including issue #0.)
DC Crossovers
1. Title: Crossing the Rubicon
Genre: Character/Relationship Study, Gen, Realism, Hurt/Comfort, Established Relationship, Humor
Fandom/Universe: DC comicverse pre-reboot, AU
Characters/Pairings: Main Characters and Pairings: Jaime Reyes/Tim Drake, (OC) Sylvia Velasco, Brenda Del Vecchio/Paco Tejas, Milagro Reyes, Alberto Reyes/Bianca Reyes and (OC) Yvette Reyes
Warnings: Teen Pregnancy, descriptions of graphic violence, Drug Cartal centered violence, description of birth and delivery, some drinking/alcohol, ableism, domestic violence (in the form of arguments), racism, heterosexism and intersectionality between racism and heterosexism
Summary:Taking place over the course of one year, Jaime Reyes, who thrives on being busy, is having a hard time handling the pressure of it all. He is still the Blue Beetle and is taking on some new challenges in the form of the infamous Drug Cartels in Mexico and beyond the border. He is finally working at a Dental Office and managing dentistry school classes at the same time. He is still Tim Drake's longtime boyfriend with no plans on ever taking any next steps in their relationship. He is just comfortable being busy and he's fine with that. That is until he meets a young teenager, Sylvia Velasco. She is a small informate and a survivor of cartel violence who helps Jaime find information to take out a few enemies that are not of the super-villain variety. Not long after that, she discovers that she is pregnant. After agreeing to help the young teen get back on her feet, Jaime finds himself looking at becoming a father before the year is over which brings complications, vicious fights and picking which crib will fit in his apartment.
Both Jaime and Tim are going to be fathers in less than one year, and this is the story of that one year in their lives.
Author's note: Regarding possible art claims: Please note that I do not want the artists to whitewash Jaime's family or the new baby Yvette in any of the art. I'm a latin@ myself, and I want to see art with people that actually look like my skin tone.
4. Title: Kaleidoscope
Genre: Adventure/Romance
Fandom/Universe: Young Justice cartoon, Legion of Super-Heroes (inspired by the Earth 247 reboot, although set in the YJ setting.)
Characters/Pairings: Dick/Wally (Birdflash), Querl Dox / Lyle Norg (Brainiac 5 / Invisible Kid)
Warnings: Graphic violence
Summary: Due to a major mishap in the lab, Querl and Lyle involuntarily set off a ripple through space and time itself. They escape the lingering effects of the explosion, hurled into the 21st century, where everything has been drastically changed for the worse.
With no Batman and Superman a villain, the Legion that they know is no more, all while metahumans are hunted down to be captured or killed. While Querl and Lyle need to get back to their own time and set things straight again before Earth tears itself apart, Conner must help his team survive as he is the only member of the team with his memories still intact.
6. Title: Baby Mine
Genre: Romance/fluff/slice of life
Fandom/Universe: DCU
Characters/Pairings: Roy Harper (Red Arrow)/Tim Drake (Red Robin)
Warnings: slight angst, mostly fluff
Summary: One morning Tim wakes up and finds a baby in his living room. As he and Roy search to discover where the baby came from, with Zatanna's help they discover that the baby is actually theirs. Roy has problems with this discovery and a wedge forms between him and Tim. With effort the two come back together and form the family they've always wanted.
7. Title: With One Piece Missing
Genre: Fix-it
Fandom/Universe: Dc Comics Pre-new 52
Characters/Pairings: Connor Hawke/Jason Todd, Also featuring BatFamily and the Arrows.
Warnings: none
Summary: A series of unexplained files are delivered to certain members of the Batfamily. The "official" members of the Batfamily team up to investigate, but are forced to stop and deal with the distractions set for them before they can make any headway on their investigation. Jason Todd, though, who has received a file of his own, has chosen a different route of investigation, and on the way uncovers a mysterious lab with ties to the League of Assassins and plans for a global pandemic.
Dinah Lance, meanwhile, when on the trail of a missing child, uncovers a massive kidnapping ring that's somehow tied in to the descendants of Vandal Savage. Upon further investigation, she, along with Mia Dearden, an uncharacteristically secretive Connor Hawke, and later, Oliver Queen, unearth evidence that Lian Harper's "death" may not have been everything it seemed. Now if only they could find Roy Harper...
A general fix-it fic set in the old DCU, With One Piece Missing works both to correct some of the worse travesties of past canon and create a complex, overarching plotline to bring Lian Harper back with a bang. A more subtle correction is the simple erasure of Jason's post-Countdown canon: the doppleganger plotline, while a good fix, has been done to death, and has thus been more or less skipped over. This fic is a sequel to a previous fic, but is perfectly comprehensible without its prequel as long as the reader goes in knowing that Jason Todd and Connor Hawke have been a couple for a while at the beginning of the fic.
