Cover is Sweethearts conversation hearts package, redesigned by me. I had soooo much fun working on these covers. I had to include the “Nutritional Facts” and “Ingredients” for each one, on teeny tiny French flaps. And when I was all done, photos taken, post written up, I decided I needed to go back and make a slipcase 😅 so that’s at the end here.

Years ago Bruce learned the Joker was trying to make an incurable venom. He knows he needs a measure in place in case he's ever infected.

CW: major character death, assisted suicide

Bruce has contingencies, they get stolen constantly in the future the pattern doesn't change.

The only problem the most powerful heroes while they do have contingencies are never ones that Batman has access too.

Leading to a very hilarious exchange.

Alice Wayne (StephCass) listening to a monologue from the villain of the week another one that manage to hack the unhackable bat computer and after today she's starting a petition to change the name to Arkham 2.0 barley any effort and your in.

"All of your fellow bats have been taken down-"

Didn't even get to finish before Nightwing and Hood knocked his ass out.

Lilith Drake lurking somewhere above. She can feel the arrogance.

"How the fuck did you guys get out?" Seriously sometimes it seems like none of her mom's badassness rubbed off it's annoying. Doesn't help the amount of superpowers now possessed by the cousins.

"In what world does Kyptonite and liquid nitrogen work? Come on... the man didn't even try." Ignoring John's everything.

"Those were grandpas contingency plans?"

Lily had jumped down mask fully off something that said grandparent would be furious with if her Uncles weren't annoying him while the children galavant around Gotham.

"Yeah, so they don't work?" That doesn't process.

"The fuck you mean they don't work-He's Batman?!?!"

All three just stare.

Lily gasps some lightbulb goes off.

"Oh my god, do you mean that Aunt Cass gives grandpa your weakness?"

"I'm human unlike you assholes I don't need a random rock poke me and I bleed but do you mean to say-"

"First off skill issue, second no way in hell is my dad giving out a way to kill me Uncle Dick would have grandpa's head if he tried that withJohn and Uncle Jason doesn't trust grandpa as far as he can throw him?" Drake practically splutters.

"This is fucking favoritism! If I'm getting tired up so should you people!!!" John is fucking laughing.

"It sounds like our Dad's are better at being paranoid imagine your Mom trusting grandpa!!"

"COULDN'T BE ME." They chorus

"The only one who has any plan for us is Uncle Tim and Lily would mindwipe his ass quicker than shit. If he didn't just decide his princess is going evil so time to get in the fucking boat." Harper adds.

"Uncle Jason should have fucking aborted you." princess snarks.

"Seriously though why would your mom help grandpa? I feel like that's a CPS call." Muses Percy.

"I don't know what if we need to be taken down contingency plans are importantl hello Batman number five hundred your dad is Mr. Contingency plan?" If she had a brick she would pull a mom.

The Drakes have very hittable faces.

"Yeah my Dad, and his are kept under lock and key grandpa's aren't even leaked on Twitter they have their own tag"

"I'm filing a complaint with HR this is misogyny! Homophobia a hate crime." Bullshit she's gonna sue.

"Isn't HR just Dad in a different shirt?" Percy and Lily nod Uncle Dick is the best representative, always willing to yell at grandpa.

"Sucks to suck now let's go I want the food that is now cold cause someone got kidnapped." John grumbles while ripping the bindings.

"Sorry my parents want to protect people!"

"Hmm yet I didn't get kidnapped."

"Fuck you drake."

"Bite me bitch."

"This is why grandpa doesn't fucking love you or should I say Aunt Cass."

"That's it-"

"John go rescue Alice before she pun-" CRACK

"Your face broke my hand-"

"Dont worry I'll tell Grandpa before Vicki show's up.

"The court owls really weren't that bad-"

"Dad didn't need to leave the coffin."

I think you ALL should go read Contingency Planning by @oodlyenough because it's genuinely sO fucking good my friend and I spent the better part of last night screaming about it and it still came up several times today we are NOT over it.

Spoiler-free screaming to give you an idea of hoW INSANE IT MADE US, and then spoiler-screaming under the cut!! For context my friend read it earlier in the day and then I read it at night so this is mostly me yelling at her as I'm reading!

@oodlyenough THANK YOU for this beautiful piece of writing, you've destroyed us but we enjoyed it immensely :)) I know you wrote this 2,5 years ago but hopefully you will still enjoy these reviews (aka incoherent screaming) <3

and also @oidingus thank you for posting the fic rec list on which I found this gem!! <3 :')

So my fav is 100% dick’s og costume or any of damians!!

Dicks is just classic. It’s representative of the era, and generally just has this boyish charm? To me, it really conveys what Robin is about: light, hope, and beginnings. We all love to make fun of underwear/shorts thing but I think it just contributes to how free the design feels. The sleeves are loose and the cape is still fully yellow, no black outer lining. It feels like it was thrown together as what a kid thought was cool, with no regard to other factors (like safety lmao). I think it’s a staple and all the vibrancy works w the bird motif.

I love damians bc he’s my fav character. His “first” costume in Batman and son is literally a stolen dick/jason era tunic (I think??) over his LoA uniform. Which I think is really representative of his story in that arc too. Like he’s still Of The League at the point, but trying to learn, to become one of the bats, but he doesn’t fully understand yet so all his attempts are thin veneers (e.g. the tunic that is barely and obviously covering his league uniform). His Batman and Robin (2009) costume is really cute too! I love how it’s formfitting and honestly completely fits what I think he’d want out of the outfit. His inclusion of the hood adds his personal spin to robin too. I don’t have much to say ab this one other than it’s just cute !! I’m a big fan. His supersons costume is also adorable! The little skirt thing he added? The skull clip? It really feels like he grew more comfy w robin and decided to add more of his own flairs. It also reminds me a bit of dianas armor and she’s the coolest so. That said! I’m not really a fan of his Robin (2021) outfit TT I like the shapes and where the parts are, but the colors make me sad. Damian is kinda edgy but robins colors are red, green, and yellow, the stark absence of them (in any big part) is quite jarring. I didn’t read robin tho so maybe there’s a canon reason for it? Either way, not a fan.

My LEAST favorite design is def tim’s… tights under one piece action. Idk why but it’s bothers me soooo much. Like the red to the green in those proportions is so so so ugly and tacky to me. Like I’m not against hero underwear but I hate it in this solid one piece thing going on.
