On the 7^th night of Hanukkah my vindictive author gave to me....

I'm more familiar with the characters in general than this specific canon but oh well let's do it.

1. Cute! Fluffy, as the requester asked for. If I were recip I would have preferred a little shippier, but it's short and sweet. I'm a sucker for supes dealing with social media so it gets a thumbs up from me.

2. Also very cute. Like that this is a fully realized story, you don't always get that in Yuletide. I kind of wish the epilogue didn't spoil what the gift was, though - the challenge itself was the gift, so to have it end on such a cliche was a let down by comparison to how fun the rest of the fic was. But still, I smiled.

3. Not as much of a fan here, my eyes glazed over a little. Kinda cheesy. But the author did put some effort into thinking through Gotham's relationship with sports and that was a fun bit of worldbuilding.

4. I think Damian called Tim by the wrong name at one point. Wow all these fics make me hate Damian, or at least this canon's version.

But anyway, it was cute and fun. Nice to see Duke's interactions with each, though the beginning scene with Nightwing was by far the best. I kind of wish it had just stuck with that, rather than spiraling into the antics with the younger kids. The ending over the comm smelled a lot like "I need some kind of punchline to end this fic on" and didn't quite work for me. I feel like I would like other fics by this author if they weren't trying to hit the whole family in one fic.

So I liked 2 the best overall, but I think I'll check out what else 4 has done once fics are revealed.
