Summary
Wally's been in a time loop for so long he's having trouble counting how many times. The memory-related side effects of whatever spell Klarion used to summon him this time definitely aren't helping at all.
Of course, things won't stay even that simple for long.(This is not the original summary of this fic, but given that it's no longer a one-shot, I thought I'd change it.)

Summary
“Hey, Bruce? What’s with the red and yellow glass statue you have in a case in your basement?” Terry asks. “And why is it all broken?”
“Don’t touch that.” Bruce surges to his feet. “You’re not allowed to touch it. “
“Why?” Terry asks again, crossing his arms. “What’s so important about it?”
Bruce takes a deep breath. Wally’s still alive- he has to be, the fragments occasionally reconfigure themselves and continue to give off energy- but it’s getting harder and harder to hold onto hope that he’ll ever wake up. Or that the electromagnetic pulses are anything more than the last twitchings of a body that hasn’t realized it’s dead yet.
“That, Terry, is… the last remnants I have of an old friend.” Bruce says quietly. “One long before your time. And extremely prone to random electromagnetic fluctuations. So don’t touch it.”
“Oh.” Terry says, and the room falls silent.
(Or: Batman Beyond, if Wally West was there and more eldritch than usual.)

Flashfam Loops by lightning_child
Fandom Batman - All Media Types, DCU, Superman - All Media Types, The Flash (Comics), Young Justice (Cartoon)
25 Aug 2026
Summary
Basically Infinite Loops, with Bart, Max, Wally, Eobard and Jay as co-anchors.
This takes place in the same continuity as the HalBarryIris loops, and any loops where Hal, Barry or Iris are looping will also be a part of that series. Same with the Flashfam loops(Bart, Max, Eobard and Jay) and the Batfam loops(Jason, Tim, Damian, Stephanie, Duke, Cass and Bruce).
The Bluepulse Loops are a seperate continuity, though occasional mixups do occur(raising many existential crisises, since there are two seperate looping Barts).
Can be read in any order.- Words:

Summary
“Flash implied I should speak to Batman.” Whitaker smiled. “I’ll admit, I’m relieved we met you first. I can’t quite fathom how Batman could have contributed to such a marvel of modern engineering. The propulsion improvements alone would land a man in the history books.”
“It seems you hold that man in high regard, Dr. Park,” B said.
“I do,” Whitaker breathed. “To learn at his side…”
“And Batman?”
“I’m sure he contributed extensively,” Whitaker lied. “Every hand, and all that.”

Summary
When he jolts awake, his head feels fuzzy, pounding to the sound of Poker Face.
That’s not exactly out of the ordinary for them. But it's different from their usual dissociation.

Summary
A bond between two souls- sealed heart to heart, blood for blood, limb for limb- should never be twisted so far as to turn those bound against each other. Even the Gods cannot abide such cruelty, to separate these souls in death; one to Valhalla as a hero, the other to Náströnd as kin-slayer. But neither can they be returned to life.
Not at the time of their deaths, nor at their births, so many years before the forging of their bond. But perhaps, to place them when the threads of fate first wove together for them... Well, they’re clever boys. They’ll surely make the most of this chance.

“And you want Obi-Wan Kenobi?” Mace Windu asks.
“Yes,” Vokara answers.
Or, Obi-Wan is wanted, becomes a healer, and this changes everything.

Summary
Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" He asked, hoping a direct question would yield answers. The old man seemed adept at side-stepping information when asked a bit more deftly. “I’ve never heard of a Master with your level of talent.”
The old man seemed surprised. “If you’ve never heard of one like me, then what good would my name be? You wouldn’t know it.”
Obi-Wan felt a flare of irritation, and quickly squashed it. The old man blinked, as if he hadn’t expected to feel that, and he smiled, sadly. “My name is Luke,” he said, as if a peace offering.
The force trilled in his ear, and Obi-Wan frowned. "Luke what?" He asked, and the old man, this Luke, smiled wryly.
"Luke Skywalker.”
