Federally Mandated by james
Fandom Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (Webcomic)
18 Nov 2025
Summary
More or less set in the universe of the Wayne Family Adventures, but not in the sense it adheres to canon. It's all vibes. Softer, gentler, sillier stories about the Batfam.

Summary
I grew up with Batman and Robin from the 60s, 70, and 80s. Batman and Robin was for kids; it was silly and fun and didn't take itself seriously at all. These stories are inspired by those sources, as well as LEGO Batman the movie and video games.

Summary
These are connected, but it isn't necessary to read them in order. A series of ultra-serious, totally not crack, absolutely dark and grim stories about the Bat Family living their best lives (or trying) in Gotham. In exactly the same way that LEGO Batman is dark and grim.

Domestic Piranha by james, Mad Poetess (mpoetess)
Fandom Angel: the Series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
28 Jan 2010
Summary
Real life, in a world where things are a little bit sillier than normal, except when they aren't.
Contains: Men who love other men, with the occasional appearance of women who love other women, women who love men, men who love women, and men who have a love/hate relationship with green vegetables. Sexy talk, sexy scenes, actual sex. Fish.
Canon? That turned a sharp left towards the porn store run by a duck sometime in BtVS Season 5 and never looked back.

Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

Summary
“The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”
“Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”
Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.
“You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”
“You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.
“No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”
Jason bluescreened.
(Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)
