AU where Zuko and Iroh join up with the gang in Book 2 while they're fugitives in the Earth Kingdom. Except when they get to Ba Sing Se, Azula doesn't realise this and still offers to take Zuko make to the Fire Palace
Zuko says yes and spends all of Book 3 acting as a spy in the Fire Palace
Sherlock Holmes receiving a case from a working class girl who is slightly suspicious of her employer: "I need you to understand that Watson and I are ready to drop everything at a moment's notice if you ever feel uncomfortable in any way."
Sherlock Holmes receiving a case from a literal king who pays a thousand pounds upfront: "Ughhh fine, but get to the point already 🙄"

The funniest thing about Jason’s “no dealing to kids” rule is that generally the age threshold for weed and other hard substances is 21, and Jason did his whole insane plot at nineteen. Meaning, he technically falls into the category of “off limits”
hi! to add on to damian and bruce, would you consider drawing talia and baby damian bonding (maybe even ra’s if you’re up for it)? i think they’d be so cute :D thank you!
baby like not being able to reach the screen enough to show his face or like a child of smol sizes and ages?

Dick: *places his hand on the headstone and sobs*
Dick: How could you do this to me? We are so understaffed.
son of a bitch when you spend money the money goes AWAy
Holy FUCK is addiction and detox a bitch. Like I’ve dealt with almost 20 years of CPTSD chronic pain fatigue and psychosis and I don’t think anything has made me feel as absolute fucking GARBAGE this. Especially the cravings. Those were created by some cruel cruel god as a torture device and anyone going through this, whether if it’s for an hour or a year you are stunning and doing fucking amazing even if no one else sees it. I hope every stoplight and crosswalk is always green for you and we get through this bullshit together
i feel like when ppl do those au's of tim never joining the batfamily he's more open to doing 'morally grey' things (in this case its more often than not js killing someone lol) as if bruce/batman is the one that made him adhere to a strict moral code when that's?? literally never been the case?? tim has witnessed death first hand at a rlly young age when he watched the flying grayson's fall to their demise. he's seen its catastrophic affects and seen how grief can shape a person's whole life. their deaths radically shifted how tim will further perceive the notion of killing, bc it's not js the act of murder- it's the mourning families, the traumatised bystanders, the tentative what-if's.
so no, tim would never kill. he was too young to do anything to prevent the grayson's tragedy, but now? when he's older and more competent he would rather die than not aid those who ask for help.
There are a lot of fics about the Justice League finding out about Batman's children via a series of circumstances leading to Nightwing joining the League (usually against Batman's will)
and I LOVE this trope, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to imagine a situation where it doesn't happen like that. I want a situation where Nightwing joins the League, but he and Batman play it off well enough that the JL doesn't put them together. They notice that they work well together, sure, and Batman seems to trust Nightwing easier than the other new members, but no one questions it because Nightwing is good.
And the JL reaches a point where it's been months or even years and they still don't know.
Until Nightwing gets hurt. They've seen him hurt before, but he gets hurt. Bleeding out, affected by fear toxin, whatever, the point is, he's in bad shape. And Nightwing - strong, crooked grin, happy facade - screams. He screams for his dad - a word that he never uses, but that doesn't matter now, because he's scared, and he's hurt, and he just wants to go home.
And nobody knows what to do. Every single League member very quickly realizes that they know nothing about this guy. Everyone wonders about Batman because he seems so mysterious, but Nightwing always seemed so open, and it's only in that moment that they realize they have no actual information on him.
But that only last for a split second, because, of course Batman reacts first. He runs to his side and starts to stabilize his injuries while assuring him in a voice that they've never heard before, a voice that is distinctly not his Batman growl, that he's right there and it's all going to be okay.
And Nightwing... well, he stops calling out for his father. And he doesn't stay in the watchtower infirmary after that. When they ask Batman where he took him, he just tells them home.
Nightwing's back a few months later, and that's when they start asking him if he's really Batman's kid, and he just smiles the same crooked grin and says, Of course. You didn't know?
