    Summary

    Steph, in a way, was much like Bruce. They were both children no one had asked for, begging and demanding that someone, who otherwise had nothing to do with them, take on the burden of wanting them.

    Except she had been lucky; all of them were.

    That in spite of everything, Steph had never wondered if wanting hands would catch her if she should fall.

    So no, she will absolutely not hold back, nor will she even try to restrain the rest of the Wayne children who are equally ready to go to war for the man who took them in and called them his, regardless of the blood in their veins or what name they went by.

    Because no matter the circumstances that led to a child's existence, they should never have to wonder if they will fall asleep safe and wake up loved.

    Isn't that right, Alfred Pennyworth?

    Summary

    Damian Al-Ghul does not get sick.

    He is the son of the Batman.
    Heir to the Demon’s Head.
    The future of the Bat mantle, the pride of his parents, the successor his brothers watch with wary admiration.

    He does not get sick.

    Not when he goes under in the Gotham harbor.
    Not when filthy water fills his lungs and drags him down.
    Not when he drags himself home, bruised and shaking.
    Not when the fever blooms behind his eyes the next morning.

    No.
    Because Damian Al-Ghul does not get sick.
    Sickness is weakness, and Damian Al-Ghul is never weak.

    …right?

    He's not sick. Not when the fever climbs, when breathing becomes a battle he can’t win alone, when the river’s infection sinks its teeth into his lungs and blood- No. He's fine.

    Damian Al-Ghul does not get sick. That would imply weakness. And he is an unstoppable, invincible, ten-year-old war assassin- …who maybe, possibly, hypothetically should not be coughing like that. Or swaying like that. Or unable to get up anymore. No.

    Because Damian Al-Ghul doesn’t get sick.

    (Except, apparently… Damian Wayne does. He absolutely does.)

    So when the family realise Damian missed out a key childhood memory they take as a opportunity.
    A quiet story about childhood, healing, and the moments that finally bring a family together.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Bruce says softly, wincing at the thinness of his voice. “Hey. I’ve got you, sweetheart.”

    The words do nothing because the kid just keeps screaming his head off.

    Summary

    “Alright,” he said. “I’ll talk to him.” A pause. Bruce’s shoulders sagging in relief sent another spike of anger through Dick’s system. “But Bruce,” he said coldly. “You better step up. Or I will.”

    or

    Dick observes Damian and sees an abused, traumatised child. He just can't fathom why nobody else does.

    Summary

    “Why are you kneeling, Damian?” his father asked, voice tight in a way the boy hadn’t heard before. He desperately wished he could look up and scan his face, but he knew better.

    “So you may strike me if you wish,” Damian replied obediently. His father’s ways of embarrassing him were odd. Making him spell everything out was effective, he supposed, but it was still odd.

    or

    Damian learns about discipline in the Wayne household. He is distinctly and perpetually confused.

    Summary

    In the Batfamily, names are never just names. They are shields, boundaries, and sometimes gifts.

    It had been considered a milestone the day Damian Wayne stopped calling Dick “Grayson” and instead said “Richard.” A quiet change, almost easy to miss, but one that spoke volumes. It meant trust. It meant that one of Damian’s carefully fortified walls had finally cracked, just enough to let someone in.

    There had been surprise when “Todd” softened into “Jason,” a reluctant acknowledgment of brotherhood. A small miracle when “Drake” became “Timothy,” and eventually just “Tim,” the name spoken with familiarity instead of distance.

    Each name change marked growth, healing, and acceptance. Each one was noticed, cataloged, and quietly treasured by the family.

    But no one was prepared for the day Damian stopped saying “Father.”

    No one was ready for the moment the word “Bruce” slipped out instead.

    Summary

    “It will attack you if you’ve had sexual relations, apparently. Since it just arrived, I’ve yet to test that theory.” Father said this steadily, as snickering echoed through the room.

    Jason stared at Damian, his brows raised as he spoke to Father. “I don’t think it would like you much.”

    Steph and Tim laughed, but Damian still couldn’t rid himself of the pit continuing to form in his stomach. It clawed at him from the inside, daring him to fight it. He ignored it all the same, wishing he were anywhere else, breathing anywhere else.

    ----------------------------------

    OR Damian is forced to confront a past that he has tried so hard to bury. Maybe, his family can help.

    Summary

    "Despite his initial annoyance, Alfred could not help but smile fondly at his boy. His hair was mussed with sleep and his cheeks reddened due to the dry air. He was wearing the soft pajamas that Master Dick bought him last year, the same one Alfred remembered hearing him loudly complain about.

    The boy was the splitting image of Master Bruce at that age. "

     

    I'm such a sucker for good grandparent Alfred, even if he wasn't the best parental figure for Bruce growing up. He is such a prime example of flawed parents becoming great grandparents.

    Summary

    Damian had the counter toxin in his grasp by the time his feet hit the ground.

    Red Robin was already blocking the alley entrance, still and looming, like the fourth horseman come to collect. The inky black mass of his cape cast a brilliant silhouette under the streetlight.

    Damian could do without the cinematic drama.

    His right hand flexed around the syringe before he lunged.

    -

    Tim is hit with a new strain of Scarecrow Toxin.

    Damian is arguably one of the worst people to be handling it alone.

    Jason deals with the aftermath. He has tea.

    Summary

    "Dad says you have to leave the door open when Kon's over," he blurted. The clone made no move to sit up, seemingly content to stay face-down on the hardwood. The tips of Drake's ears burned. He opened and closed his mouth, clearly trying to gather his thoughts. It was disconcerting to see his brother so discombobulated, and the reminder of what Damian interrupted made him flush. Then, Timothy seemed to settle on something, embarrassment temporarily forgotten.

    "You said 'Dad'. You just called Bruce 'Dad.'"

    OR

    Three times Damian called Bruce 'Dad' behind his back, and one time he did it to his face.

    “You know, this is the first time Bruce has done this.” Grayson's arms must feel like Twizzlers from the way he’s rowing in great arcs without stopping. 

    “What, die?”

    “No. Left me.”

    Or,

    Dick likes to think he's coping well. Damian disagrees.

    Summary

    “They’re right,” Grayson agrees with a full mouth. “The elves are probably working over time just for you bud,”

    “Speaking of which, we better hide Damian. If Santa sees him, he’ll think he’s an elf and steal him away,”

    Tim and Jason snickered.

    “Excuse me?” Damian asked, not at all liking the sound of his potential kidnapping. If this supposed Clause man was willing to kidnap him, Damian needed to form a plan. “You said this “Santa” character will attempt to take me?”

    “Said what I said,” Jason agreed. “Sorry tater tot,”

    Well, this Clause man seemed to have the audacity to attempt to snatch Damian right from his own home. To make matters worse, all his brothers seemed completely complicit with the idea.

    Damian would have to take matters into his own hands.

     

    Or: Damian’s never heard of Santa before. That’s why, when Jason joked about Santa taking him away as an elf, Damian believed it.
