Jake & Tom Berenson
is this anything??
(Inspired partly by the meta @thejakeformerlyknownasprince wrote about Jake being Cain and Tom being Abel, because that is soooo correct.)

14 yrs Tim Drake, finally had a good night’s sleep, enters the cave only to find Batman and Nightwing lashing out at each other:
this is the money dog, repost in the next 24 hours and money will come your way!!
the biggest loss of the decade is the fact that we can no longer use the ‘I don’t have 2020 vision’ joke
civilian tim au where he ends up being close-ish friends with the waynes (being one of the few non-corrupt rich folk) but every conversation ends up with him Desperately trying not to let them know that he knows. like / socialite: oh, cass darling! how'd you break your arm? // cass: skiing. // tim, who knows Damn well poison ivy broke batgirl's arm last night bc He Was There: haha what a life you live cass anyways-

AU where Tim has known who the Batfam are the whole goddamn time and pretends all his life not to know.
And the family all love Tim and will only go to the galas and shit if he’s there because he’s Nice and Sincere and seems to always give good advice as an observant third party. And if they ever need a favor or whatever from him he’s all “No problem!” Doesn’t ask too many questions. Gives them the benefit of the doubt. Just a true friend. One time Cass said “cause a scene” and Tim didn’t even ask why, he just comically tripped and knocked over the nearest ten foot ice sculpture.
So of course the batfam all secretly want him to know the truth. Like, yeah. It’s against the rules but Tim is their friend! He deserves the truth! He’s so trusting and honest with them and it makes them feel so guilty. Like everytime someone cancels lunch plans w/ him cuz of crime, he’s always so cool and understanding?? And they all feel so bad lying over and over to poor Tim who just naively believes them
So then individually all the batfam have the idea to “accidentally” let it slip who they really are.
One time Dick got “caught” wearing his Nightwing outfit and Tim was just like “Holy shit! Nice outfit! Way better than my Halloween costume” “Halloween? Tim, it’s August.” “Right? So cool that you’re into it enough you’d plan so far ahead” “uh. Yeah. Okay. Halloween. Sure”
Damian is at a gala when he curses and walks off to the bathroom, dragging Tim along with him, telling him he needs help resowing his stitches
Damian’s shoulder has a bite mark taken out of it courtesy of killer croc. Damian tries to explain, come clean about why he has this horrible wound,
“Drake. I’m sure you must be wondering why I have-”
“Oh, no. No need to explain. I know you love animals. And if you happened to break into the Gotham zoo to try and free the alligators and accidentally got bitten? Well, I’m sure Bruce doesn’t need to know”
“…yes. that is… exactly what happened. Truly, Drake, your detective skills are adequate. Even impressive”
“Don’t go all sappy on me here, Damian”
“-tt-”

this is my first deep dive into dramione and i wanted to share these amazing series i’ve read in the last few months. no particular rank or order to this list. enjoy!!!
Manacled - @senlinyu / @senlinyuwrites if you’ve delved into Dramione at all, you’ve most likely heard of this incredible dark epic. it takes place in a Voldermort Wins!AU and takes inspiration from the Handmaiden’s Tale about population control in this new frightful era of the Wizarding World. be prepared for all 77 chapters to consume you in this tale of love, loss and hope in between.
+ emphasis on dark epic. the writer themselves have acknowledged that with such dark and heavy themes, there are large aspects of the story that may be triggering for some people and therefore manacled might not be the fic for you - and that’s totally okay! (what’s important is that you take care of yourself) as always, read the tags and know your limits. + senlinyu is a phenomenal writer, often collaborates with @elithien, pairing their artistry together. @avendell is also another great digital artist who has worked closely with senlinyu, even creating multiple companion art pieces for Manacled (but try not to let the art spoil some parts of the fic for you!!!) + senlinyu has soo many Dramione works, just follow them & dive into it!
Bone Mortar - @mightbewriting enemies to lovers is a given in everything i’m about to talk about in this post, but this short and sweet series takes us to a modern!au setting of academia. what’s not to love about these two professors who are about to go head to head over a little administrative conflict at the start of the new school year?
