Sing We Joyous, All Together (Batman/Flash, Robin | PG13 | 3,258 words) has Robin and Flash visiting Batman while he's got Chistmas Eve watch duty. This hits me for the same reason that I loved "Comfort and Joy," mainly because I spend the entire time squealing from the cuteness. Because Batman needs someone like Tim or Wally to not take him so seriously all the time. Tim and Wally are a force all their own.
Excerpt:
"Happy Christmas, Batman! Don't hit me, I'm helpless to the thrall of holiday -- uh. Hello. Oh, hey, you're Robin! Hi!" Flash sticks his hand out.
Robin, who misses *very* little, looks more than a little pole-axed, but puts his own hand out gamely, just the same. "Uh. Hi?"
Flash shakes his hand, grinning broadly, and then turns his attention back to Batman. "How come you didn't *tell* me you were having guests, man? I wouldn't have bugged you." Back to Robin. "But hey, cool! Did Bats give you the tour? I bet he only showed off the gym. He's *obsessed* with that gym."
Robin grins right back. "Hey, I *work* with the guy. You don't have to tell me."
Batman represses the powerful urge to defend the gymnasium and forces his face into something like a normal expression. He hopes.
