2013 dcu_bang master list
shinysylver and I want to thank everyone who participated in this year's dcu_bang challenge. It took a lot of hard work from all of our authors, accompanying fanworkers, and betas, and we hope that everyone had a good time!
We're still waiting for a couple of links, but we'll update the list as they come in. For those of you ho have been waiting, though, wait no longer! Allow me to present dcu_bang's 2013 master list of fic and accompanying fanworks. (Please keep in mind that this list does not include authors' warnings; those are included with the stories themselves. Please read those carefully before reading!)
Keep in mind that we have a dcu_bang pinboard that has everything indexed (thanks entirely to shinysylver!), so if you like to browse that way, check it out!

Title: strike the statement
Author name: miss_synph
Characters/Pairing: developing Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson, Ted Grant, Tiffany Fox, Tom Bronson, Alfred Pennyworth, Jason Todd, Barbara Gordon
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After his parents are killed in a hit put out by Tony Zucco, Dick Grayson resolves to follow in their footsteps by any means necessary. Leaving the circus for Grant's Gym in New York is the first of many steps that Dick takes in order to become a masked hero.
Eight years later, Bruce Wayne receives word of a new crime-fighter in Manhattan that seems to be running wild under the noses of the JSA. This "Robin" is a hard hitting, wise-cracking hero and Bruce is immediately suspicious of his motives and his methods.
If the JSA isn't able to keep Robin in check, maybe the Batman might have better luck setting him straight.

Title: Scenes From An Alternate Universe
Author name: kuonji14
Characters/Pairing: Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, various
Rating: PG13
Summary: Bruce Wayne is not Batman, yet he still fights crime and still adopts Dick Grayson, a boy who is not Nightwing but was once a Flying Grayson.
Alfred remembered the first descriptions Bruce had brought him of the leader of the young street gang: intelligent, compassionate, athletic, and fierce. He had been nonplussed then about Bruce's involvement with someone who sounded dangerous at best. However, he also remembered the shy teenager who had come to them that night, thanking him anxiously for a hot meal. His heart had gone out to the boy then, as he knew Bruce's had been lost a long time before that. He recalled with perfect clarity -- even if the newspaper photos had not already captured it -- young Dick's expression when he won his first medal, and later when he saw the overwhelming pride on Bruce's face. Only a few short years, and yet Alfred could not imagine their life without young Master Dick in it.
