    Summary

    Pain. Throughout all of Damian's life, all he has known is pain. He feels broken, beaten, and shattered, yet he is so deeply within pain's grasp that he cannot even fathom the idea of being free from its chains. It's still haunting him today, but he can't let it show: pain is weakness, and weakness is pain.

    Damian hides behind an impassive mask so that no one can see his suffering—not even his kin. But the mask is starting to crack, the walls are beginning to drop, and his facade of perfect stoicism is slipping, revealing what lies beneath.

    If Damian lets them in—lets them see not just him, but him—

    Will he fracture into shards of porcelain, piercing anyone who comes close?

    Will he be forsaken and forgotten?

    Will he finally succumb to the inferno of pain, consumed until there's nothing left but ash and cinders?

    Or will he finally experience the bliss of a life unbound by the shackles of pain?

     

    or

     

    Damian get hurt and wants comfort but doesn't get any, boohoo

    Or

    Summary

    During a walk around town, eight-year-old Rin stumbles upon an injured boy about his age hiding in an alley. Despite Rin’s insistence on taking him home, the boy refuses. Not wanting to leave him alone, Rin instead decides to help the only way he knows how—by mimicking what he’s seen others do to treat injuries. He carefully patches the boy up as best as he can, proud of his work even if he’s just guessing half the time.

    Moments later, a group of strange people dressed entirely in black appear. They speak in a foreign language—one Rin doesn’t recognize—but the injured boy understands and responds fluently. The strangers stare at Rin with unreadable expressions. Yet, oddly enough, Rin doesn’t feel afraid. There’s something oddly familiar about them… or maybe about the boy.

    Cares he not, as he belongs only to the Wayne imbeciles.

    (Family is a bit tough, especially when trauma speaks first before anything else could.)

    (But it is family, they are meant to weave through strings of life and stand tall. As long as one stood together, and not let another one fall)

    And if they will fall? They will fall as a whole.

    Summary

    Barbara was anxious-terrified!-even.

    She'd done all she could to find Tim, and she had found him! (Or at least his phone.) But now all she could do was wait for a message from Dick or Bruce, or for them to return to Gotham, or for something huge and bad to happen so that she had to call them back to Gotham before they could finish looking or-.

    She had to stay calm.

    She had to remember that there was good in the world, and that they were definitely overdue for a dose of it.

    Barbara needed to stay hopeful.

    XxX

    Post rescuing Tim from being held captive by the League of Assassins, the family has to figure out how to navigate new dynamics as new challenges are on the horizon.

    Summary

    Peter Parker was dead that day the sky was torn and the magic circled above him. He traded all he knew, all he was, to continue on as Spider Man. Dr. Strange told him that it was dangerous, but he was done putting those he cared about in danger. He wanted MJ and Ned to go to college, to be happy. For that to happen, Peter Parker ceased to exist.

    One act of mercy later, and Peter opened his eyes to a sea of green and blind panic. He escaped, but he had no idea where he was or why he looked so different. Unbeknownst to either Peter Parker or Dick Grayson, Peter now wore a strange mix of his and someone else’s face.

    Summary

    For Timothy Drake, obsession is far worse than compulsion.

    Compulsivity is action. Action can be taken and completed at any time, it’s mindless. It’s repetitive movement, expected and anticipated more often than not.

    Obsession is far worse. Obsession plagues the mind and overtakes rationality. It spins spiderwebs in the brain and warps your very being. It can spawn from the simplest thing and then spiral into an all encompassing essentiality.

    TLDR; Tim needs to know everything, Damian is hard to know and the world makes it impossible. Plus a stroll on the darker side of Gotham!

    Summary

    [ TITLE IS A PLACEHOLDER & A WORK IN PROGRESS. SUMMARY EXCERPT WILL LIKELY CHANGE WHEN MORE IS PUT OUT. ]

    “Good morning! I’m making some breakfast. You hungry at all?”

     

    Richard didn't answer, and the person walked into the hall in front of the large “doorway” of the living room. Whoever this was sighed, giving him an almost sympathetic look, before saying something else.

     

    “I get it. I wouldn't be hungry either.” They leaned against the wood doorframe, flashing a smile that was supposed to be comforting. “Your actual guardian is on his way. Bruce Wayne, you heard of him? I didn't think he was the kid type.. But, I think you’ll be pretty happy with him.”

    Tim, Dick, Jason, and Damian are all young. Practically the same age. Somehow, they all end up with Bruce Wayne at the same time, and hearing Richard gets to be Robin, they all want in.

    Summary

    “What do you mean you're sending Damian here?!” Jason yells, flipping is Nokia to his other shoulder in frustration.

    “Oh please, you never cared about that before! Talia—it's–it's not any safer here. The clown—”
    “Will be the least of Damian’s worries,” Talia sighs,...

    Summary

    In the pivotal moment of Jason Todd’s revival, cosmic forces found a soul too damaged to survive resurrection. Not in this universe, at least. The solution? Find a similar soul already halfway dead.

    Danny would like it on record that he did not sign up for this. But there’s smoke nestled against his ice core and a name of a boy he now shares a grave with—and that’s a start. He could do without the weird glowing blue system tailing him, though. Not that it’s going to stop him from doing things his way.

    If he’s here to stay, then he’ll own it. Not just for himself, but in honor of Jason Todd, too.

    Also, what is up with Gotham and their aggressively weird vigilantes? He already has a whole new family of assassins—he does not have time for capes on top of that!

    Summary

    AU: Jason somehow managed to survive the Joker and retired as Robin and Tim was never needed by Batman.
    ---

    When a trip overseas during the holiday season ended up with Tim and his parents getting kidnapped, Tim found himself having the worst day of his life. It ended with Tim's mom dying and it left Tim's father in a coma. Tim was heavily injured and a bit scarred from the encounter... but at least Batman and Batgirl saved him and his dad.

    Despite not being a Bat or a hero Tim still found himself in strange situations. Such as when he went to Paris when his dad, Jack was still in a comatose state and met three strange people that ended up with him sneaking alongside them.

    Summary

    Stephanie Brown, forged from the horrors of Gotham itself was always made to be a hero. She was going to do it by herself or with the people around her, no matter what. There was no universe in which her independence didn't get her stuck in the 'vigiliante' gig.

    In this universe, she dons on cheap rubber gloves and practices on roof tops before she starts her work to destroy her dad.

    In this universe, she isn't as alone as she originally was.

    In this universe, she does not leave Tim behind. He leaves her behind.

    In this universe, she is Spoiler, then Batgirl, then Hummingbird and then Spoiler again because Stephanie was the hero of her own tale. And no one else's.
