Summary
Excerpt:
"A warning not to play it," Danny replied. "And also, John Constantine repellant.""What?" Bruce asked, nearly slipping into the Batman register behind a stack of boxes labeled 'SPACE STUFF'.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you don't have too much supernatural stuff around here. Technus is a technology ghost that likes to create robots and go on rampages, but I tricked him into possessing a CD and pulled it out of the computer," Danny said easily, as if it were all perfectly normal. "And anytime Constantine gets within about 20 feet of it, he freaks out. It's great."

Summary
My next part in my 2026 challenge had the prompt: HIDE
I could've went horror with it. Instead, please enjoy Danny and the rest of the Batfam (plus honorary Tam and Kon) giving Tim gray hairs while trying to find a ring.
Features: Tim bullying Lex Luthor in the background, Danny and Jason losing all brain cells when they're together, and everyone trying (and failing) to hide info from Tim.Excerpt: 2Ghoul4School: YOU ASKED ME TO HIDE IT WHEN I WAS DRUNK, DANNY. HOW TF SHOULD I KNOW?!?
Tim: hide what?
2Ghoul4School: oh shit I thought 4 sure spoopy was Danny. Who is this? Damian changed all my contact names bc I wouldn't help him smuggle a snow leopard into the house.
Tim: No, it's Tim
Tim: hide what?

Summary
The next prompt in my random word generator writing challenge was ACCESSIBILITY.
As someone who lives with and cares for multiple people with different types and degrees of disability, this one got pretty personal and pretty long. I think it's the longest in this series.After his accident, Danny has to come to terms with a lot. Dealing with teachers ignoring a 504 plan is easy compared to realizing he's become the monster his parents told him about in bedtime stories.
It's just- he doesn't feel like a monster. And most of the ghosts he's met aren't really monstrous.
Join Danny as he learns and grows into who- not what- he is, and finds a voice.Series

Summary
For my next prompt of 2026: FAMILIAR
Tim, an eight year old mage, is desperate to summon a familiar - something that happens when mages are, at the youngest, sixteen. Unfortunately, magic doesn't particularly care if you desperately need a familiar to earn your parents love.
Excerpt:
Even Tim, at the Grand Old age of eight wasn't foolish enough to try twice in a day, so he cleaned his things and left the basement, unsatisfied.With his sudden dizziness, he wouldn't even be able to try and find Batman tonight.
It fit, he supposed. His parents didn't want him and made it clear he wouldn't be part of the family without a good familiar (damn uncle Eddie and his slightly magical neon blue chicken). Why would a magical creature want him either?

"I think I might like this one," Phantom rumbled."Whelp," said Skulker, though Phantom hadn't been a whelp for millennia, "you're a dragon. Everyone knows the pride of your kind- surely you wouldn't want a human."
The dracolich snorted, hoarfrost spreading on the ground before him. "No. No, I like this one. He's mine, unless you'd like to fight me for him."

Summary
Cassandra Cain has a problem. A glowing, ice-cold, half dead problem. Specifically because they're soulmates- which would be great, if he knew about it.
It would be a lot easier if she could just ...speak.
She's spent months fighting alongside Phantom, being near him as he got roped into magical issues, and has had every opportunity. But she has an idea. An idea so monumentally basic it just might work.Series
