Fic Series: (Un)Familiar | DCU | Bruce/Jason, Other Pairings, Bat Clan | Index Post (original) (raw)

Title: (Un)Familiar
Fandom: DCU
Characters/Pairings: Bruce/Jason, Bruce/Dick, Jason/Tim, Alfred, Steph/Cass, Zatanna, many others as the series progresses!
Rating: Up to Hard R
Word Count: TBD (19K+ so far in 24 ficlets)
Prompts: Many prompts from 50_darkfics, au_bingo, hc_bingo, kissbingo, & dcu_freeforall, but it all started with a Bruce/Jason prompt from Porn Battle X, and was built around the fantasy/supernatural prompts on my au_bingo table.
Summary: In an AU version of the DCU (wherein werewolves, vampires, fairies, ghosts, witches, demons, and dark gods are all very real), the Bat family comes together completely by accident, step-by-step, and with little regard for the laws of the land, expectations, or propriety. It isn't an easy process.
Disclaimer: DC and WB own everything, the schmucks!
Author's Notes: This is the first series I've written solely in connected ficlets, without chapters (even though the series begins to look chaptered the further it goes along :p) or an epic to branch off from. It is also very much a Bruce/Jason story, despite (and perhaps because of) the other pairings that present themselves. So far, there's nothing beyond a hard R rating, but who knows what future installments will bring?
