One possible fanfic could be that on Tim's off day, he decides to visit his favorite coffee shop in Gotham that he rarely gets to go to when he's on patrol duty. He sits there, reading a book, just enjoying the normalcy for a change. He might even meet an old friend from school who he hasn't seen in a while and they catch up on all the things that have been going on in their lives outside of the Bat - family chaos.
One possible scenario could be that Bruce is under a great deal of stress. Maybe there has been a recent string of particularly difficult crimes in Gotham that have him on edge. On Dick and Tim's off - day, he snaps at them during a briefing at the Batcave. He might not actually physically 'hit' them in the sense of causing harm, but his harsh words could feel like a blow. This could lead to a rift in the family dynamic, with Dick and Tim feeling betrayed and Bruce later realizing his mistake and trying to make amends.
On Tim's off day, he could volunteer at a local community center. He wants to do something good that's not related to fighting crime. He helps out with a kids' reading program, reading stories to the children and teaching them about the importance of books. This shows a different side of Tim, one that is more about giving back to the community on a personal level rather than as a vigilante. It also gives him a sense of fulfillment that he doesn't always get from his Batfam duties.
The plot might involve a build - up of events that lead to Bruce's outburst. Maybe there have been financial problems with the Bat - family resources, and Bruce blames Dick and Tim for not being more responsible. On their off - day, he confronts them about it and things get out of hand. As a result, the family is divided. Alfred might try to mediate, but it takes time for Bruce to come to his senses. The fanfic could explore the complex emotions of each character, from Bruce's guilt to Dick and Tim's sense of injustice.
Well, a very common theme is the exploration of power. In criminal Batfam fanfic, the power dynamics within the family change when they are involved in criminal - related situations. For example, who has the authority to make decisions when the family is on the wrong side of the law? Also, redemption is often a theme. Characters who have strayed into criminal behavior may seek to redeem themselves. And secrecy is another key theme. Keeping secrets from each other can be both a cause and a consequence of getting involved in criminal activities in these stories.
One popular batfam fanfic could be 'Family Dynamics'. It explores the complex relationships within the Bat - family in a really interesting way. The characters are well - written and it delves deep into their emotions.
A really popular 'batfam crack fanfic' is 'The Batfamily's Fashion Fiasco'. It's about a gala where their costumes get all mixed up. Bruce ends up in Dick's old Robin suit, and there are a lot of comical reactions from the other characters. Another interesting one is 'Batfam's Day at the Amusement Park' where their superhero instincts cause all kinds of trouble while they're just trying to have fun.
The unexpectedness of it all. We are used to seeing them in action - fighting crime, using their gadgets. But when a sneeze is added to the mix, it completely changes the tone of the story. It can lead to all kinds of new and interesting plotlines, like how they manage to keep their identities secret while sneezing in public or how they deal with the physical discomfort during a mission.
