Summary
As Batman signed for him to add his backup smoke pellets in his belt after forgetting to in a recent patrol, Dick was suddenly hit with the memory of the man scolding him for it. He remembered how Bruce had walked towards him, brushing the dirt off of Dick's face and pinched his cheeks. He recalled sticking his own tongue out at the man and the low — but free, so free — chuckle Bruce let out in response. And Dick reminisced on how warm he felt in its wake.
Large age gaps between friends existed.
It made perfect sense.
Except...it didn't.
Or, how Dick transitioned from seeing Bruce as his mentor to seeing him as his dad.

Summary
Tim loved being Robin. It was something everyone knew, the fact that he begged to be here, that he admired Dick and Jason so much, that he wanted to be Robin. Wanted to have a purpose, wanted to be important. To mean something.
He loves being Robin but that doesn’t mean he has to love every single part of it. And god, he doesn’t.
or
Tim reminisces on some things.

Summary
It was easily the most predictable hit he’d ever delivered. If the knee hadn’t telegraphed it, the wind up would have. He’d leaned back, leaned forward, and sent the sloppiest punch of his vigilante career at the face of a man who should’ve seen it coming from a mile away.
Bruce’s head snapped back with a soft, surprised oomph. He took one step backward, regaining his balance on one overly-smooth loafer as blood began to gush down his face.
Dick stared at him, unable to speak. Unable to look away as Bruce put a hand to his cheek, probing at the bloody gash like he’d never been hit in the face before. The hit he hadn’t seen coming.

Summary
Tim doesn't really want to have a therapy session with his own subconscious. Especially since his subconscious seems a little...off. Still, he doesn't regret the choices that led him here. He doesn't regret the role he had to play.
But Tim doesn't know that there's a timer ticking down over his head. A timer that Bruce and his brothers are trying desperately to beat.

Summary
It had been many years since Bruce Wayne found himself in a position quite similar to this one. Five years since he was comforting a sad Dick Grayson at the circus, placing a hand on the boys shoulder and telling him it’d be okay.
And twenty years since Bruce himself was the one who needed comforting.
Bruce sat in the far too familiar alley beside Savannah Collins for longer than he’d meant to. He was patrolling as usual. There was nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, it was a slow night.
Slow nights did tend to be the worst nights.
OR
How Savannah Collins entered the Wayne family, told from the very beginning to the very end.
(alternating POV's) this is the second book chronologically in my legacies-verse series. it can be read as a stand alone, there will only be minor confusion that can be cleared up easily (such as OC names, references to other minor plots). as it's only the second book, there won't be much confusion.

Or, Damian is being haunted, but could it be more than it seems? Something darker?

Summary
Tim was still panting, when Nightwing's rigid form turned slowly toward him, glare unmistakable even under the domino mask.
“Nightwing, I can—”
“Get in the car.”
The words were icy calm. The kind of calm that was 87% worse than Bruce’s barked 'Robin!' whenever Tim did something particularly reckless.
Tim cleared his throat, tried again with a half-hearted chuckle. “Night, just let me expla—”
Dick took another step forward, head tilting to the side. Tim, on pure survival instinct, stepped back.
“Get. In the car. Now.”
So. Dick was definitely not a fan of rogue solo missions. Noted.
........
Or, Dick catches Tim in way over his head in a rogue mission. Bruce has not even realized Tim's not in the manor. Dick revokes Bruce's Robin privileges and Tim's ability to sit. Smacks and angst and drama, because Batfamily, that's why.

Summary
Jason doesn’t know if it’s because of what Dick said or if it’s because he spoke up in Bruce’s defense.
He’s never defended Bruce before in front of Dick. Not in this lifetime, obviously, and not in the one prior either.
He’s just so fucking tired. He just wants to have a family. For the people around him to get along.
In which Dick and Bruce fight, Jason surprises himself, and the past keeps on keeping on.

Summary
“Let me finish.” Batman’s eyes narrow underneath the cowl. “I will not try to convince you to leave. If you wanted to quit being Robin, I would not stop you. Hell, I would want that for you- for you to live a normal life, but listen to me. This is important.”
Dick just nods, shoulders squared and tensed as though he were preparing himself to receive some divine judgment or grand revelation.
“I won’t always be able to save you.” Batman’s voice is pained– choked and spoken through gritted teeth as his entire being seems to reject the notion of the simple fact. “I will always try my damndest to help you, but I just… you need to know.”

Summary
And finally, at one point between their discussions, the dam is broken because Batman is so young and still doesn't know how to trust, and Superman is God among men and therefore a threat, and maybe that was the first but certainly not the last. Because Spyral tore something that had been in pieces between him and Bruce for a decade, and he can no longer pretend, no matter how much he loves the man, that his hits didn’t hurt something deep inside him.
Or: Bruce hits Damian, and the last strip in Dick is broken. Dick is done with Batman’s shit.
