Summary
After dying on the battlefield, Damian wakes up in a universe where he is Bruce Wayne's only child. Having to endure the League's training a second time is a challenge, but upon reaching Gotham, Damian is thrilled. His so-called "siblings" had really been more trouble than they'd been worth, and Damian had always been the true son anyways. Now he doesn't have to fight for the position that is rightfully his.
Except… the Manor is awfully quiet. And Damian has started talking to himself. And… maybe his siblings weren't completely useless. They gave him Robin, after all, something that Damian hadn't been able to deny himself when he'd rejoined Batman in Gotham's shadows.
And then Damian meets this world's Timothy Drake, who's years younger than Damian and stuck with neglectful parents who don't even know their son's age, much less that he's following Batman and Robin around Gotham with a camera.
Damian had been a horrible younger brother, but… maybe he can be an adequate older brother.
(It isn't easy, but he turns out to be far better than adequate.)

Summary
In Tim’s haze of fire, he ends up with a thought that turns everything into ice.
It’s been a year since he came back with Bruce and he never got an apology.
So Tim walks up to his older brother who’s now taken a step backward with slightly widened eyes at the smile- the cold and very wide grin that’s taken place on Tim’s face very quickly, very suddenly -and he walks straight up to the man in front of him, puts his hands on his shoulders, and knees him straight in the dick.
Casually stepping over his older brother practically crying on the edge of the platform, and ignoring the gobsmacked look shared among Tam, the security guards, and most of the press who caught it all on camera, he walks over to wooden stand with the microphone and begins nonchalantly talking about the unfortunate mistake made by someone he doesn't care about in a division that’s so unimportant he was literally thinking about shutting it down a few weeks ago.
The questions asked by the press weren’t on topic at all.

Summary
The camera lights flash in his eyes as he stares ahead with his politest society smile wondering what the fucks the point of being there.
Answering questions automatically he continues to zone out. Bruce is back and nothing has changed for the better. Damian got his father back, Dick got his freedom, and even Bruce gets to do his fresh-start bullshit not like he’s doing much with it since he’s wasting it on Batman incorporation shit and yet he’s here. A high school dropout taking care of a company he doesn’t really care about and doing media control for a branch of the company he’s never even looked over.
Didn’t he promise himself that he wouldn’t become this person who only does things for others when they don’t give anything back? He already lived this life with his parents for the first half of his life and even though he thought he was safe and fine he should have known not to be so naive as to think it would stay different.

Summary
"Rule number 1?"
"Presentation. You should never go somewhere without the foreknowledge and expertise of the appropriate appearance. Make-up, hair, clothes, and posture can make or break any situation."
Cupping his face and moving it around in a circular motion - he knows it's just to make him laugh instead of checking to find any imperfections like she's pretending it is - she smirks at him before nodding encouragingly and asking, "Rule number 2?"
"Strategy. Pick out your goal, and figure out exactly who and what you need to get there. Do so sparingly and efficiently."
Giving him a kiss on the nose and a warm smile, he allows his eyes to sparkle in a way that he knows only she could ever tell as he keeps the rest of his face emotionless and blank.
"And Rule number 3?"
Finally breaking the facade, he gives her a lopsided smirk as he leans into her hand sweetly, "Manipulation. Do whatever it takes, and be whoever you need to be to get the job done. After all," he pauses to share a smile and so they can say it together,
"Anyone outside me and mine are just obstacles to destroy and pawns to control."
