Summary
It was supposed to be a quick trip to the Ghost Zone. Just there and back before anyone could question why Danny needed to go see Frostbite alone in the first place. However, Vlad just had to bother him with his usual bullshit. While being chased through the Zone, Danny quickly found himself slamming into some weird Ghost Zone nonsense and turning back into a child. Scared and confused, he tries to find the one person who had always kept him safe when he was younger.
Damian hadn't seen his baby brother since the day their grandfather had so cruelly killed him. He wasn't sure how Danyal's body had disappeared when Mother had brought him to the pits, but all Damian knew was that he'd never see his baby brother again. Imagine his surprise when eight years later, his six-year-old brother came back, clawing his way out of the pits and reaching out for him.

The Devil's After Both of Us by TheWritingOwl

Summary
Growing up, Danny's parents had drilled it into him and Jazz the dangers of summoning rituals. Unlike something like a natural portal or the one they built in the basement, a summoning ritual brought ghosts to you without any clear way to send them back home.
After Danny's accident, he hadn't thought he needed to worry about summoning rituals anymore. After all, he kind of had his hands full with the whole "Ghosts are real and attacking him and also he's half-ghost now" thing.
However, once Danny took up the crown of Ghost King, he found himself having to deal with summoning rituals from the other side. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't constantly confronted with ghosts of a past he had shoved deep down in his heart.
AKA 5 times Danny runs away from Damian after being summoned to Gotham, and the 1 time he stays.

Summary
The biggest downside of being adopted by Bruce Wayne is putting up with rich people events, including one where Jason will be in a room with a bunch of rich kids for a couple very long hours while Bruce goes to the adults' meeting. Jason is ready for a very bad time but the Drake kid listens to him from the start and keeps backing up Jason's ideas even though they've never met.
Jason warms up to Tim Drake long before Mad Hatter tries to take over the meeting and Tim backs him up again.

Summary
Did Tim Drake have a secret?
Well, yes. He had plenty.
Oh.
You meant that one.
Yeah. That one’s a big secret, so don’t tell anyone.
Especially the Waynes.
Tim Drake had lived his whole life as a secret meta next door to Batman. He became Robin after Jason Todd died. He's kept his powers from the Wayne family for years.
Now Tim has stepped away from the family and is Red Robin. Soon, he'll leave the family forever. He doesn't belong with them anyway, he was just a placeholder.
A wrench was thrown in his genius plan when the Waynes found out he was a meta. This wasn't part of his plan! What will he do now?
Cleveland sounds pretty nice right about now.

Summary
“What are those?” Jason asked catching Dicks arm.
Dick’s face soured. They were in his apartments bedroom. Although he had heightened senses Jason was also well trained and he had been too tired to notice Jason had come up behind him.
“They’re just some vitamins.” Dick told him, trying to yank his hand out of Jason’s hold.
Damn his super strength.
“Bullshit.” Jason twisted his wrist easily making his grip fail and the pills in his fist fall to the floor.

Bruce Wayne adopts a child on impulse... and then another... and then another.
He doesn't know what he's doing, but somehow it doesn't end up too bad except for the fact that his kids think he's a vampire.
