Title: Baby Bird
Author: Amy of Amelia From A Fairytale
Category: Young Justice (cartoon)
Rating: PG/K+
Premise: When Batman and Robin go out on patrol, Robin manages to get hit with a strange spore by Poison Ivy. All too soon, the Dynamic Duo discovers that the strange spore has caused Robin to have some odd changes in his body, and all of a sudden, the baby of the Team really is the baby of the Team.
This is a preview for a fic I’m working on, where each of the members of the Team go through some bodily change (de-aging, animal transformations, etc. Robin just happened to be up first). I wrote this before Misplaced came out, and Zatanna was a full member of the Team.
I think they’re all Young Justice right now, so I’ll just organize them by character.
Title: Kidnapped
Author: Amy of Amelia From A Fairy Tale
Category: Young Justice (cartoon)
Rating: PG-13/T
Premise: Dick is kidnapped - as Richard Grayson. Unlike all the other times he’s been a victim of kidnapping (in his Robin suit or otherwise), these perps have done a completely thorough job of making any chances of escape as minimal as possible. How will he ever get out?
This is the introduction of my fic Kidnapped, the one that is undergoing the most serious revisions. I find new errors with this fic every time I look at it. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s a fairly original concept (I’ve only ever seen one idea that was even remotely similar), if it’s just a crappy idea, or if I just suck at writing. Whatever the cause for my dissatisfaction may be, here’s to hoping I can fix the issue.
Title: B.S. (Before Sidekicks)
Author: Amy of Amelia From A Fairy Tale
Category: Young Justice (cartoon)
Rating: PG-13/T
Premise: Artemis remembers a Gotham without Robin.
Just a snippet of what’ll probably be a one-shot. I just figured that because Artemis grew up in Gotham, she had to have remembered a time before Robin. The tenses are a bit odd in this one (I’ve been leaning more towards present-tense writing ATM, but every now and then I slip into past-tense and I don’t always catch it on my final read-through).
Dick has all his brothers and his sister gathered before him in his room as does some last minute preparations before the Team arrives. “Now listen, everyone; my Team is coming tonight, and they’re going to be here for a while.”
“Like a sleepover?” Timmy’s blue eyes are wide; he’s always wanted to meet his eldest brother’s team, but Batman’s strict rules about secret IDs has prevented that from happening. Dick laughs a bit in response, and ruffles his little brother’s dark hair.
“Not quite. Y’see, Bruce didn’t tell them our secret identities, so they think they’re protecting Dick Grayson and his little brothers, not Robin and his little brothers.”
“That’s stupid,” Jason huffs, “Why would the old man do that? They’re bound to figure us out if they’ll be living with us.” Dick arches an eyebrow in response.
“Maybe Bruce wants us to work on keeping our secret identities a secret. Think of it as deep undercover work…as yourself. This means no playing with knives,” he says as he looks pointedly at Jason and Damian, “and no super awesome martial arts moves, Cass.”
“Tt,” is all Damian has in response, but he slowly puts his knife down. Dick is one of the few people whose orders he obeys without too much protest, and the eldest child is thankful for his obedience right now. Cass, whose obedience is rarely a question, nods silently. They’re working with her, but she still rarely speaks. At least they won’t have to worry too much about Cass accidentally outing their secret.
“Alright, guys. They’ll be here soon, so try to act normal, okay?” Dick picks up Damian as he stands to leave the room. The toddler squirms, growling in his adorable baby voice for ‘Grayson’ to put him down ‘post haste!’ Dick just chuckles and keeps a firm hold on his youngest sibling. “Nonsense, Little D. We need to wash that spaghetti off your face before my friends get here! Don’t you want to look your best?”
Title: The Last Laugh (preview)
Author: Amy of Amelia From A Fairy Tale
Category: Young Justice (pre-Invasion)
Rating: PG-13/T (blood, the Joker - no torture…yet)
Premise: Headcanon 208 from youngjusticeheadcanons: In a desperate attempt to prove himself, Tim sought out the Joker. He was beaten brutally, but the Joker decided to keep him alive. Just after the second day he was being held had passed, a man wearing a bright red mask that covered his whole face slipped into the warehouse he was tied up in. The stranger started swearing loudly as soon as he spotted him, and untied him. The man lifted him very gently and made their escape. The last thing Tim heard before he blacked out again was the stranger hissing, “You are going to have to do better than that, replacement.”
Just a short preview. I’m still working on this.

Category: How to Train Your Dragon
Status: Complete (40 chapters, sequel in progress)
Summary:Hiccup didn’t see the point in stopping Astrid as she ran off towards his village - towards his father - with his most desperately protected secret. He was leaving anyway. A coming-of-age tale. Deviates from movie. Borderline bromantic-comedy.
(warning: some kisses, hints of sex - nothing explicit, though. The story’s main focus is NOT romance.)

They’ve had a protocol since Nightwing was turned into a baby and Batgirl had to take care of her and baby Helena while they teethed. (from a prompt on the YJ Anon Meme, specifying that when Dick was de-aged he had to be the youngest member of the Batfamily)

Status: Complete (oneshot)
Length: 1912 words
Summary: “You didn’t take out the giblets, did you?”
Title: Secret (preview)
Category: Young Justice (cartoon)
Length: 619 words
Rating: G/K+
Premise: I think I saw this as a prompt on the YJAM, but I’m not sure. Basically, the prompt was what if Batman didn’t let the world know that Robin existed? Yes, Robin fights crime alongside the Bat, but he’s really nothing more than an urban legend at most. No one outside Gotham has the slightest idea of his existence, and it drives Dick crazy, especially when he finds out that Batman has formed a team of sidekicks and doesn’t include him.
More than a bit AU. This story is about how the Team - and consequently the world - eventually discover that Robin is very real and very angry about being hidden for so long.
