🐮 “Northern Attitude (I Was Raised on Little Light)” by @theskeptileptic🐮 

Another day, another Batfam bind. This fic broke my heart over and over again before putting it back together. Especially loved all the Tim and Damian interactions.

Considering the title and the chapter names, I couldn’t not go with a Noah Kahan theme for this one. Inspo pulled from the Stick Season vinyl. Both cover photos are by André Mašek from Unsplash. Endpapers were from a cardstock pack from Michael’s and fit pretty perfectly.

Also I couldn’t do a Noah Kahan theme without music, so I added the audio module into the front cover and loaded up “Northern Attitude” and “You’re Gonna Go Far.” 

Overall super happy with how this one turned out (I’m choosing to ignore how off center the front is 😭)

Blown away.

🚐 “The Lone Ranger Never Had to Deal with Bruce Wayne” by @theskeptileptic 🚐

My friend recently got me into the Batman fandom and it’s since taken over my life. I’ve been enjoying a lot of Batfam and Tim Drake-centric fics especially, so when I came across this fic, I inhaled it immediately. This fic is a perfect combo of humor and feels and I knew I wanted to bind it. Typesetting this fic was a lot of fun and pulled me out of my binding slump, and I’m excited to bind more fics in this fandom! The cover photo is from the 2006 movie “RV” and icons throughout the typeset were pulled from online.

Look at this. 😍😍😍

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. I’m HONORED!

issue is, Bruce is just so happy to see and talk to his kids at any point that he doesn’t even notice the breach of privacy, and the kids just end up feeling really awkward about how happy their dad is to see them.

Jason will bring up something in conversation with Bruce that was only privately relayed through texts between Bruce and a colleague, smirking because he knows Bruce is gonna be really paranoid about who’s watching his texts, except Bruce just smiles and happily chats with him for thirty minutes and he’s in a good mood all day because Jason willingly had a casual conversation with him, and when the JL ask why Batman’s in such a good mood at a meeting later that day Jason just goes bright red and doesn’t know what to say because he didn’t realise how much Bruce genuinely craves just catching up with him every now and then.

Dick will stalk him for weeks and wait until Bruce has a really tough busy day at work, specifically so he can wait for the evening where Bruce finally has a single moment to himself in a bar somewhere to relax, and then he busts in loudly sitting down next to Bruce and talking non-stop while ordering a drink, thinking that Bruce is going to be mad because this was his one peaceful moment and Dick ruined it by constantly tracking him. but instead the second Bruce realises Dick’s there all his exhaustion disappears. he gets a really wide genuinely pleased look on his face and happily offers to buy Dick a drink because ‘it’s so rare that they get to hang out!’ and Dick is left floundering because he was trying to be an asshole but now he just feels bad that he doesn’t spend time with Bruce outside of patrol business.

Tim keeps watching him through security cameras and updating him through text on his location in an attempt to make him tired of the constant supervision, but every time he texts Bruce like ‘you just walked into starbucks for the second time today.’ Bruce will just openly smile at his phone and respond like ‘would you like me to get you a drink? i can drop it off at your office if you’d like :)’ and Tim has to give up almost immediately.

Wrong.
