“Kunikida’s a bootlicker. He’s nothing but a boring goody too shoes.”
Kunikida stole a car. Kunikida broke into a meteorological bureau because they got the weather report wrong. Kunikida has been arrested 3 times.
Kunikida gave Junichiro, Atsushi and Kyouka weapons. Kunikida electrocuted Akutagawa and gained his respect. Kunikida’s best friend, Katai is a hacker.
Kunikida hates authority.
Kunikida threatened to break Atsushi’s arm when they met.
The fear people have that Kunikida could’ve become the Azure Messenger if he went too far. Not to mention the Azure Apostle, Nobuko Sasaki was the real life Kunikida’s first wife.
Kunikida set off a bomb and used Tecchou as a shield. Kunikida told Kenji to throw the Black Lizard out the window. Every time someone says Kunikida would be a good solider he immediately proves them wrong.
Goody too shoes my arse.
wolverine is absolutely not hip with the kids inspired by this post
Okay Tim Drake lovers.
We’re making a Batfam fic board.
Tim-centered.
I’ll add my faves here with a couple notes.
Y’all, the comments section is free. Fill ‘er up!
- How to Accidentally Acquire A Brother by 172
!!UNFINISHED!! Last update in 2022. I’m so sad.
Tim and Jason centric.
I have so much love for this one. The soft growth Jason shows. Tim getting love but being so afraid. Ugh. Tim’s relationships with Ivy and Babs and Jason and aaaaggghhh
- A Backstitch in Time (series) by Megaerakles
Beautiful idiots. On the shorter side, each installment is a new POV.
Timetravel!!!
- The Buzzard (series) by FlightL3ss_Bird1029
I’m not as sure how I feel about this one.
One finished work, others actively updating.
- Dizzy Edges by @jojosquires
!!Unfinished!! Actively updating.
Timetravel! Speedsters being introduced! Soft Jason! Soft Dami! CASS!!!
- Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night by britishparty
I’d say !!unfinished!! Warning still applies.
Two finished works, but the story is not… conclusive? Concluded?
Deathstroke takes and trains Tim Drake.
Tim and Jason centric second story.
- cards on the table by mgootd
Holy COW have I mentioned I love Tim joins late fics because I LOVE Tim joins late fics.
Tim as a fortune teller, knowing the Wayne’s secrets but staying Out Of It™️. Drake turned street brat.
Tim, Jason, Steph are probably the biggest figures here.
Actually finished. It’s beautiful.
- Tim Drake’s Photo Album (series) by mgootd
My heart. This may be my favorite finished work. And yes, I WILL forever refer to Tim as “bug” now. Thank you, Jason.
I can’t wait to see what else gets added to this series!
- 1-800-GOTHAM by goldfishinabag
!!UNFINISHED!! But updating regularly.
Holy. Cow. This is beautiful. The personalities at play. The Batfam interactions. Yes. Please.
- The Drakes’ Spoiled Brat by @batfambrainrotbeloved / yellow_sprouts on AO3
!!UNFINISHED!! Updating regularly.
First off, this one. If you read none of the others, this one.
Thank you for leading me back into the ways of TRUE Batfam brainrot (*cough cough* beloved).
On the edge of my seat for the next chapter on this.
- Cor et Cerebrum by @audreycritter
All well over 600K words are straight up golden.
This is the one of the only OC heavy fics I’ve truly fallen for, and Kiran Devabhaktuni is such a MOOD.
The Batfam takes are PHENOMENAL. The interpersonal relationships, the trauma dealings, the whole thing. 10/10.
- Undercover and Undercover:Gotham by InvalidStuff
Batkids working together for each other. Every time. BatDad is STRONG. Cuteness overload. Fluff in the sense that punching someone for your siblings is the fluffiest feeling ever.
- Mama Bird (but its your big brother ready to fight god) by @batfambrainrotbeloved / yellow_sprouts on AO3
!!UNFINISHED!!
Batboys protecting batboys.
Disclaimer: Abusive Batman. (At least hyped on fear toxin, hinted at more regularly so far, but unsure.)

Cassie’s POV. Tim’s funeral.
I cry every time and have read it at least 4 times.
Update: I have now read the rest of the series and they all HURT but worth it.
I'm not sure what drove me to make this but it's a thing that exists now
You know what? Kudos to BSD for being a manga that is so GOOD with the stupid power of friendship trope even amongst its philosophical angst, family feels, and fandom ships. No, I'm not talking about friendship destroying the big bad.
I'm talking about Ranpo extending a hand of friendship to a Yosano that had lost all hope in herself, humanity, and life.
I'm talking about Odasaku reaching out in his last moments to tell Dazai he was his friend.
And about Dazai telling Mori Odasaku was his friend, and feeling angry when it looked like Ango's friendship was based on lies, then letting his friendship with Odasaku spur him to be a good person.
It's about Atsushi and Kyouka building a tenuous friendship starting with her letting herself open up to Atsushi, and him inviting her to look at the city, and her protecting him fiercely when he's in danger.
It's potentially also about Tanizaki insisting they save Atsushi from the Port Mafia.
It's about Tachihara, Gin, and Hirotsu when Tachihara refuses to kill those he has come to call friends despite being a man of orders.
It's also about Kenji's full power being unlocked when his friend died from a natural disaster, and when he heard about Atsushi getting tortured.
And when Kenji snapped out of it to offer a hand of friendship to Tecchou
I'm also talking about Chuuya growing to care about people even though he lost all his friends poor man
It's even about Kunikida and Katai having this deep bond that as of yet remains to be explored.
time travel tantrum…
grumpy baby sasuke is such a mood.
