Summary
“Well, uh, Oliver saw Batman with Catwoman when he helped out in Gotham, and they seemed pretty close,” Barry offered tentatively.
Dick wasn’t even sure why they were talking about this. Why were these guys so concerned about Batman’s relationship? Somewhere in the back of his mind, Dick knew he was missing a piece of the conversation. But, to be fair, even if he had all the pieces Dick wasn’t too sure that analyzing a conversation about his parental figures’ relationship was something he particularly wanted to do.
Or
Dick Grayson is far too tired to realize that the Justice League thinks he's in a relationship with Batman

[“I think,” he said slowly, “That I’m going to throw up.”
Noises of concern rose around him, but he ignored them.
“Because,” he continued, raising his head enough to meet the eyes of the idiots who’d put him in this situation, “That would be an entirely appropriate response to finding out that highly intelligent members of the Justice League, people that I consider to be friends, who have known me for over a decade, seem to think that I’m screwing my dad."] the league being dead fucking stupid is my favourite trope ever. -

Summary
“So!” Dick says with great fanfare, throwing himself across Bruce’s designated chair with nary a care in the world.
The Justice League look on with a mix of befuddled awe, like they’ve never seen a child dressed up like a traffic light before. Which they haven't. Bruce mentally steels himself as Dick clears his throat. “Why am I here, you ask? Well, when two people love one another very, very much-”
“You’re adopted.” Bruce says.
Or; Bruce lets Dick attend a Justice League meeting on the Watchtower. Bruce has regrets.

Summary
The Justice League is planning their annual Family Day!
---
Nightwing’s smile widens. Batman can see the wickedness leaking into the smile. “Does everyone usually go?”Diana nods, “Typically yes. Almost every leaguer will be there. It goes throughout the day, and we end up at shifts there in a way, so that we are still patrolling, but ensuring we can still all interact. Batman is the only one who has never made an appearance.”
Turning to look at Batman, Nightwing leans forward to get a better view of the man. “Really? You don’t say.” Nightwing smiles sweetly. “And why is that Batman?”
Batman glares at Nightwing. The two stare at each other for several tense seconds. Nightwing is holding back a smirk. “Don’t you have a family you’d like to meet everyone?”
Superman puts up a hand and starts to cut off Nightwing. “Now, Nightwing-”
“Wouldn’t they like to meet the league?” Nightwing questions, cutting off Superman.
“No.” Batman deadpans. Pushing back from the table, Batman stands and turns away.
“You sure about that?” Nightwing practically taunts.

Summary
After a few years working alongside the Justice League, Batman decides that it will be safe to let his kids tie themselves back to him. The only thing is, that since Nightwing is already part of the League, they forget to mention that he is also part of the Bat associates. They only remember when they are surrounded by other members, who loose their shit at the fact that Batman is Nigthwing’s dad.

“He’s Nightwing.”
Hal nodded. Even if he hadn’t known that this warehouse was supposed to be the base of a smuggling ring specializing in time-manipulation weapons, Hal would have had a hard time missing the similarities between his teammate and this kid.

Summary
Here is what’s supposed to happen: Tim retreats to Titans Tower to (figuratively) lick his wounds after being dosed with Ivy’s pollen. He’s out of his usual antidotes, and had accounted for riding it out on his own. Batman is off-world, and Nightwing is in Blüdhaven. This is not unusual.
But how it really goes is like this: Tim retreats to Titans Tower to lick his wounds. For a while, he’s alone.
And then a very much winged Red Hood breaks in with a gun to his head. Wow, Tim needs better contingency plans.

Summary
“Here,” Jason says, passing the tray over to Damian. “Go bring Dick this.”
Damian redirects his scowl, but the furrow in his brow looks more curious than angry now. “What is it?”
“Papanasi,” he answers. “It’s, uh. It’s something his family used to make.”
Damian accepts the tray, holding it as carefully as he would delicate electronics. “And this will…make him happy?”
He doesn’t laugh at him. “Nah, kid,” he says wearily. “He’s not going to be happy until he knows his family is safe. But it’ll help.”
The smaller boy clambers down from the stool, taking care not to drop the dessert as he does. He hesitates on his way out of the kitchen. “I…am looking forward to Drake’s safe return,” he says.
Jason snorts. “For Grayson’s sake, yeah, yeah.”
“Yes,” he says, shifting on his feet. “For Grayson’s sake.” Another beat, and finally he pads out of the room, very seriously balancing the tray that looks ridiculously large in his small arms.

The ransom call comes the following morning.

Summary
“So,” Jim said, “are you one of Wayne’s new kids?” Because only siblings acted that way toward each other, and it seemed like every time Gotham turned around, Bruce Wayne was adopting more kids. It was a reasonable question.
“What?” Jay asked. “No, I’m—” He paused. Very slowly, his head tilted as he looked over Jim’s shoulder in the most obvious way he possibly could.
Jim Gordon accidentally meets the "newest" member of the Wayne family.

everyone thinking Bruce is salacious when he's literally just besties with a bunch of girls is one of my favourite batman tropes.
["I've never gone to bed at a reasonable hour in my life," Bruce said, "and quite frankly, I am offended." He drank more champagne as Nickie giggled.
"We can teach you to play Street Fighter," Adia pointed out. "And! Anita has a big yard, so we're all going to bring our pets."
Bruce raised an eyebrow at Anita, who had taken her heels off to sit cross-legged in one of the chairs, her skirt pulled down over her knees. "Really?" he asked. "Chairman Meow is okay with that?"
"I told you he's friendly!" Anita said. "I don't know why you don't believe me."
"Because he looks like a confused Austrian peddler," he said, and Anita gasped. "He looks like his parents were a pug and a slipper. In every single picture you have ever shown me of that cat, he looks like he's going to tell me stories about the war."
Cindi had a distinctly horse-like laugh that Anita did not appreciate when her cat's honor was at stake. "You're going to feel really bad when you meet him and see how nice he is," Anita warned.
"I'm going to feel bad when he turns out to be a wish-granting hobgoblin," Bruce corrected.
"He really is nice," Cora said. "Wanna see a picture of him cuddling with Pigglesworth?" "Yes."]["You're going to leave us unsupervised?" Amy teased. "What if we take your most expensive shirts?"
Bruce's snort was a humorless sort of amusement. "I have more money than God."
"Does God have a lot of money?" Tara asked.
"No. He's not a capitalist. That's the other guy."
"Do you have more money than the devil?"
"Not yet, but I'm working on it. That's what the violin is for. Go put something on so I can have Alfred bring up breakfast."] holy shit was that a Devil Went Down to Georgia reference or am I insane -

THIS WAS SO LOVELY AND SOFT AND HOMEly <3333
also was NOT expecting the bruce/diana but I'm not opposed to it, this was really freaking cute.
[Like most childhood bedrooms, it was mostly empty, stripped of anything that Clark would have wanted to keep.
"A Hubble deep space poster and a map of Middle Earth."
"I had very diverse interests," Clark said, setting his drink down on the desk.
"Did any of them involve girls?"] HAHSD ROUGHH["But you have such a sensitive soul," Clark said, and Bruce shook his head. "Sometimes you look like you're not telling us what's on your mind. Like right now. You look like you could use a hug. Do you need a hug, Bruce?"
"I don't." Bruce had a vague hope that if he kept his tone neutral rather than irritated, Clark would drop it.
It did not work. Clark was already spreading his arms. "I feel like I should give you a hug just to be safe."
He was not going to give him the satisfaction of leaving the room to escape. "Clark, I know where to find significant amounts of Kryptonite."
"That sounds like something that someone who needs a hug would say."
He crossed his arms over his chest. It would be physically impossible for any hugs to be mutual. "I can say very authoritatively that it does not."] -

Summary
Thomas and Martha Wayne are Gotham's most famous martyrs. They used to be a wife and a husband, a mother and a father, doting parents. They could also be cunning, wicked, glamorous, decadent; an heir and a gold-digger, beautiful people in a beautiful house. It takes a certain kind of parents to make a man like Bruce Wayne, and Alfred can't take all the blame. He can't even take most of it.

fuckkk this is one of those fics that's so good I don't mind it's unfinished and never will be.
I LOVE young Alfred so so very much and Martha is fucking amazing. this was just so rich in plot and cool characters raghhhh["No, no, none of that," she chided, that same way she might say it to Bruce, "we both know I'm not psychic. Do you know what a woman's intuition is, Mr. Pennyworth?"
"I have a feeling you're going to tell me, Mrs. Wayne."
"A woman's intuition is her subconscious mind's way of telling her when a man wants to murder her," she said matter-of-factly, and though she had finished with her knot she was still holding his tie, like a leash. "That's why men pretend it's silly, you see."][That gave him pause. "The tunnels?"
"The tunnels," she confirmed. "It's an old house. It has tunnels. As old houses do." He was not sure that this was a common feature in old houses.
"And you have not closed them?"
"Of course we close them," she said, an exasperated wave of her hand, "once we've found them. He just keeps finding more of the damned things. He's like a little… rat." She frowned. "No, that isn't a nice thing to say about my son, now is it? What's something more flattering that scurries around in walls?"
"I'm not sure that there is such a thing, Mrs. Wayne."
"Then he is a very cute rat," she decided.
"And how often will I be monitoring young Master Wayne for ratlike proclivities?" he asked.] LMAOOO but also these tunnels are DEFINITELY the future bat-cave["Lesson one: don't do that." Bruce lowered his arms with a pout. "Keep your feet shoulder-width apart." Bruce looked down at his own feet, and slid them apart until he was halfway to a split.
"That's… how wide do you think your shoulders are?"
"You didn't say my shoulders," Bruce said, "you just said shoulders."
"Body parts are not units of measurement."
"What about feet?"
Alfred rubbed his forehead. "Switch to metric like a civilized country and fix your feet. Like this."]["If nothing else," Martha said, "I can remind you of how dangerous this can be." Neither of them had any intention of putting on protective gear, which Alfred thought set a bad example. Not that he was going to say anything. Martha was also not taking off her heels; Thomas did not protest, or even seem surprised by this.
But then she passed the épée to her left hand. She was not left-handed.
Thomas frowned. "Oh, so that's how we're going to play."
"We are," Martha said, haughty enough that one would never know it was her husband born to money.
"If you insist," Thomas said, passing his épée to his own non-dominant left hand.
"You really ought to let yourself have the advantage, darling," Martha said as she readied herself.
"Being better is all the advantage I need," he said, posture mirroring her own.
"You always were insufferable about this sort of thing," she said, neither of them yet moving.
"You're kind of into it, though," Thomas said with a wink. Beside Alfred, Bruce rolled his eyes, already bored. Then blades clashed, but only for a moment, exploratory.
"It is your least attractive quality," Martha said.
"I thought my sense of humor was my least attractive quality."
"That, too." Again a brief clash of their épées without progress.] I admit it, you are better than me. Then why are you smiling? Because I know something you do not. And what might that be? I am not left handed. >:) -

Summary
Damian spreads his hands to the side in a low bow in front of Bruce and says to the roof’s surface, “I entreat you to grant me asylum from the League in your city. In return, I break my bonds with the League and pledge my fealty to your service.” The formal, rehearsed words are at odds with his young age.
Bruce knows that he has to get this child to safety.
Damian's integration into the Batfamily immediately following the events in "Loading and Aspect Ratio."
