Summary
This day was going to suck, and not in a good way. It wasn't anything that Angel couldn't handle though, he had this. He had worked through far worse with none the wiser. He was a professional after all. He didn't need Charlies pity, or Vaggie on his case, or Valentino to suspect anything. He was fine.
Angels day goes from bad to worse. But at least least Husk is there to pick up the pieces.

Summary
The best way to get Manjoume to do anything was to either make him think it was his idea or wait until it was already happening. If anyone was up to the task, it would be Manjoume.
There was no one else Fubuki wanted to share this Passion Duel with.

Upon this Winter's Night (with you) by Costello_Music for J (jaywright)
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
24 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
Three Winter’s Crest nights and three very different encounters in the budding relationship between Keyleth, Percy, and eventually Vex. Written for J (jaywright) for the Critmas Exchange with the prompt: Keyleth & Percy’s friendship is one of my favorite relationships on the show, and I can very easily see it developing into something romantic and/or sexual with him & Vex, either post-canon or in a universe where either Vaxleth doesn’t happen or is an open relationship

Summary
Bruce adopted Dick at eight
Jason at twelve
And Tim... Sixteen.
Sixteen. Practically grown by the time he entered Bruce’s world...Well stayed under his roof.
Sixteen: Independent, solo patrols, solo cases...He doesn't need Bruce to hover...right?
Or: Bruce is Tim's parent. Just because the boy doesn't purposely cause trouble like his last two doesn't mean that he doesn't attract it.
Or more simply: The author loves Tim's and Bruce's dynamic and wishes there were more fics about it. Here is five times Bruce was a parent to Tim and one time Tim was a son to Bruce.

Summary
There’s a crime scene board set up off to one side. Bruce wanders over to examine it while Batman goes about preparing the tests he’ll want to complete to make sure Bruce isn’t going to tear the fabric of spacetime apart.
He vaguely remembers this case. It was already a cold case even by the time Dick arrived, a murder whose trails had gone nowhere. It was one of the files he’d dusted off and given to Tim to practice his skills.
He hums approvingly as he studies the board. Tim’s getting close - once he finds the witness Bruce had overlooked the first time, he’ll have the lead he needs to crack the case.
Then he frowns, touching one of the photos of the building. It’s not one of the original crime scene photos, nor one of the ones Bruce himself had taken when the crime was fresh. Tim must have gone himself to take them after Bruce gave him the case.
Pride sparks in his chest, twisted with shame.
“Have you looked at this?” he asks, raising his voice enough for his younger self to hear him over by the monitors.
Batman grunts, glancing over and then away again. “It’s a cold case,” he says. “Robin’s been working on it.”
“I know that,” Bruce responds. “Have you looked at it?”
