Summary
ANA FELT LIKE THE MISTRESS, which is ironic considering that she's the girlfriend and Buck's the best friend.
But she ignores the nagging feeling in her gut and the voice in her head that sounds like her sister, and continues on. She's just glad that she's wanted.

It's Not Always Black and White by Ceitidh_Kat

Summary
AU Ragnarok ending, Bruce P.O.V.
Where Asgard is not destroyed and Bruce tries to navigate life on another planet immediately after Hela's rampage while Thor tries to be the warrior king he thinks his people need and deal with whatever mess his brother's undoubtedly terrible rule has left.
Except... Loki wasn't entirely terrible?
Bruce has only ever heard about Asgard and Loki from Thor, and has heard much about how his people love the Thunderer.
Now he meets someone who does NOT love Thor, and hears a very different take on events and Loki than he ever has before. Why DID Loki invade Midgard and steal the throne of Asgard anyway? Could it really be true there was more to it all than simple jealousy and a rotten nature as he has believed all this time? Does he even dare to ask?(The action mostly happens in the background, this is Bruce P.O.V. helping out the healers in the aftermath.)
XXX
Bruce doesn't know what to think about Thor's little brother.

Summary
It's not *Tim's* fault Batman slept with his mom sixteen years ago, or Tim's fault that Bruce Wayne regrets signing away his parental rights fifteen years ago, but Jack Drake sure thinks it is. Now Damian is bugging him about cows and family and Jason and Dick won't stop kidnapping him and Bruce is acting like court orders don't matter, like he doesn't have a huge bat-shaped secret to protect from literally the whole freaking world.
Why is Tim the only functioning adult in this situation?
This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead. (So, update, some people are saying this may not be as fluffy as I am advertising it. I plead the 5th.)

Bookmarker's Notes
M: Not detailed or graphic, but strong themes of death, violence, injury, human Trafficking, child abuse & assault
----
When he started at the 118, he had been a straight man and target for Chimney’s jokes, a bratty little punk to Hen’s big sister, a reckless son for Bobby, all while being a competent team mate as soon as the sirens blew. It’s no wonder he lost himself a little, playing the chameleon for everyone else. And somehow, he just never quite managed to break out of those roles.

Maddie should never have had to raise him, and he was so grateful she did…but she never really saw him as grown-up.
