Summary
Something warm fills Connor’s chassis, strong enough that he runs a quick diagnostic to check if something else had become damaged. Still just his thirium pump regulator and communicator. The feeling runs hot and pleasant through his thirium lines before he registers the sensation must be a part of his behavior conditioning programming, rewarding him for eliciting a positive response from Hank.
It’s not an emotion. Just a piece of programming.
Just programming.OR
A well-intentioned Markus kidnaps Connor and takes him to Jericho. But what happens when a machine that can feel emotions doesn't want to deviate? And what ends can justify the means?

Summary
Alastor had long since accepted that if God existed (he still had doubts) then they were a being cruel and indifferent to human suffering. One which created a system vast and complex in its laws and patterns with the intention to cause pain. That they, much like himself, must enjoy watching others suffer; if God is real then surely they revel in the agony bestowed upon humans, must garner some form of gratification from it all. Perhaps the only difference it would seem, is that for Alastor, it wasn’t fun when it wasn’t warranted.
Or: Alastor is suffering after the battle, all he wants is to make himself something sweet in the privacy of the kitchen. Too bad no one else seems to be getting the memo. Can't a demon get a moment's peace in this God forsaken hotel?

Summary
Damian is alone and afraid in his father's house. He's become a hidden person within the manor. But he's able to find some small relief in hidden places.
A character study on Damian Wayne. How he sees the world and his tenuous connection to a family he can't understand. Set very early into Damian's stay with the bat family. This one's painful.

Summary
Damian pushed himself into a sitting position, only then realizing he was in a bed. There was a comfortable blanket over him, and a plush pillow where his head had been resting. Damian blinked, not exactly sure what to think. It would be much more helpful if he could remember who he was.
Damian attempted to draw something, ANYTHING from his mind, but it was impossibly blank.
Damian fisted up the fabric of his blanket, and idly noted how clean the white throw looked. Were blankets supposed to be that clean?
Damian searched his arms, finding many scars running along his skin. Why did he have so many scars? What could have possibly have given him so many cuts? That didn’t seem normal, did it? Did normal people his age have this many scars?
His age…what was his age? How old was he?
He…couldn't remember.

Summary
You didn’t expect me to be someone you cared about. Damian finishes the thought for him, teeth gritting behind his closed lips. His skin is prickling with the pressure of being seen, recognized. It’s not what he wanted. It’s not what he asked for. And yet—when Grayson’s hand brushes his elbow again, steadying him gently as they walk down the fire escape, Damian doesn’t pull away. His instincts are screaming at him to shake the touch off. That’s just sympathy. Just pity.
It doesn’t mean anything.
He is just a civilian, Damian reminds himself harshly, over and over like a mantra. He does not matter. His affection does not matter. But the words lose their sharpness the longer Grayson looks at him like that—like Damian is someone, not something broken or dangerous. Not just another shadow in the night.
Or,
Damian al Ghul is sent to Gotham with a mission: earn the right to stand beside the Batman. He will not grovel for a place at his father's side like some desperate orphan—he will prove he belongs there. But, Officer Grayson refuses to let the wounded boy he keeps running into disappear into the dark.
