In setting up for Jon's tenth birthday party, Kon realizes how many milestones he's missed in his life and comes to terms with the way growing up looks different for different people. Oh Kon...

Gala of the Year by [archiveofourown.org profile] sageness
Tim takes Bernard to a gala that does not go as planned. Adorable!

The Batkids should really have more contingencies in place for when Bruce and Alfred are away from Gotham. Aw Cass. Aw Tim. <333

The Power of Purr-suasion by [archiveofourown.org profile] Sandrine
Damian made a promise to Father that he wouldn't adopt any more pets for the time being, but the cat is clearly in need of help.

Father would surely agree that helping always takes priority. Still, it's probably expedient to keep it a secret for now.
Aw, this is adorable.

a sudden kind of softness by [archiveofourown.org profile] fencesit
Damian comes to Wayne Manor expecting many tests. He tells himself he expects them with a hint of anticipation; that he is looking forward to the satisfaction of overcoming each challenge from his father with ease. Damian is well-trained, after all, and he has been held to a higher standard than others all his life. He should be confident. Oh Damian...

there when the light comes in by [archiveofourown.org profile] shipyrds
"Well, that was fun," Tim said, his hands shoved into his pockets. "It was a nice plan, but you know us. We can just drive back to San Francisco and I'll get a flight."

Kon looked at his posture, the quintessentially Tim tilt of his head. "No, dude, are you kidding me? You're gonna deny me this rite of passage? Get back in the car. It's gonna be epic."

Tim had smiled, a big bright thing that lasted all the way until they got back on the highway and Kon tried to fight him for the aux cord because like hell was he going to listen to the same Marina and the Diamonds EP for 57 hours.
Tim/Kon roadtrip! <333

trained by the best by [archiveofourown.org profile] destiny919
Damian has his orders: present himself to his father so that the Batman will finish his training and Damian can take his proper place at his father's right hand.

However, Damian has also had caution and the need to maintain an upper hand in every situation ingrained into him for even longer than he has known how to hold a sword. Accordingly, he takes his time once arrived in Gotham. He learns his father's patrol routes and not much else, but in the process begins studying the other vigilantes in Gotham—the other children in his father's life. Perhaps they will give him a better idea of how to please his father, and if they have been trained by Batman themselves, there may even be something of value they can teach Damian.
Adorable! <333

Abigail and Peter go mudlarking on the Thames. A nice slice of life story with Abigail and Peter.

Work-Life Balance by [archiveofourown.org profile] Philomytha
The breach of the peace began in the traditional English woodland at Kew Gardens at a quarter to four in the afternoon on the first of May when the morris side 'Queens of May' struck up a dance called Princess Royal and invited the crowd of bewildered tourists to join in. This is a fun casefile that sounds just like canon!

The Good Place

The Contractualism of Fair Play and Hot Wings by [archiveofourown.org profile] Rockinlibrarian
Michael's got the perfect torture idea during a chili-pepper-based-restaurant-themed reboot: a hot wings eating competition! The humans would actually, willingly, compete to see who can burn themselves more! And competition always brings out the worst in humans, right? ...Right? Feels like it could slot right into the show!

Some Truths by [archiveofourown.org profile] SpaceWall
In which Katara meets a strange boy in the Northern Water Tribe, is successful in both waterbending and emotional vulnerability, and saves the day with the power of sheer stubbornness. Meanwhile, Zuko makes a friend. His second one, if you count Yue. AU where Zuko spent most of his exile with the Northern Water Tribe, so he's already there when the Gaang shows up.

Earthsea

The White Ladies of the Ring by [archiveofourown.org profile] Luzula
There was a sorcerer imprisoned in the Labyrinth, and Arha had told Kossil that she would kill him—but she did not want to. Perhaps she needed to ask someone for help... This is a really sweet AU where Penthe leaves the Place with Ged and Tenar, and Tenar's life takes a slightly different (better) path.

A series of connected missing scenes set throughout The Thief. Or, what Eddis and Attolia were doing while Gen was stealing a seal, getting tossed in prison, and then hiking across the countryside.

The Expanse

A Fresh Start by [archiveofourown.org profile] tacky_tramp
The Belt claimed to be a nation, but it was still more like a room full of squabbling cousins, unable to agree on anything more nuanced than dislike for those outside the squabble. They needed the Inners to trust them, but they didn’t trust each other. It would take at least a generation to smooth over the slights and scores of the past – and that was an optimistic timeline. Some truly excellent and in character sparring between Drummer and Avasarala, post-series. <333

Ten Lullabies by [archiveofourown.org profile] thestarsapart
"Lullabies aren’t really about ordering babies to sleep. They’re not about food, or love. They’re about safety.
