    Summary

    Damian Wayne-Al Ghul is expected to be more than he is, to live up to a legacy. Is Batman still his father? Is he more? Or less? His family isn't just family. They're saviors; heroes and the ones that kick him under the dinner table. They think he's always angry. He is not.

    Jon tells him he can be who he wants, teaches him about abuse, self-harm and death—the little things in life his family is uncomfortable with. He forces him to treat himself with gentleness. Marinette believes in him, a lot, and loves him without needing anything in return.

    That belief in him, that knowledge, is all he needs to change.

    **

    Warning: reading this may cause feelings of melancholy and poignancy.

    You will no longer view anger as mad or parents the same. Your concepts of "violence" and "love" will forever be changed. You may think they're the same. The average siblings tell each other they love one another once per day; how often do you say it? Do you feel guilty about that?

    Reading this may cause behavioral problems. You might start seeing shadows move. Or get a therapist.

    Summary

    Danny's death was something he had no choice but to think about.

    Having a portal to the afterlife open on top of you at age 14, both killing you and bringing you back to life was hard to ignore. He died and came back weird, with a pounding headache and an ache in his chest.

    After getting caught by his parents and getting cut open the summer before college, Danny flees to Gotham.

    No idea of what or who is waiting for him there. Or what will follow him to Gotham.

    Jason was 15 and running around as the second Robin. His death was on the same day that a portal in an Amity Park basement opened, killed by being beaten by the Joker and left to die in an explosion. He came back 6 months later, mindless and wrong.

    Later, he'd get back his mind, but the pits still swirled in his chest.

    Now the Red Hood at 19, Jason feels like something's coming, something dangerous.

    The pits shift at the thought.

    This can't be good.

    Summary

    there is a story in amity park. A story of how those kissed by death get tainted with a streak of white hair. Danny never believed stories in Amity Park, they were all fake anyway, right?

    Then, Danny's ghost form has white hair, and he has to reevaluate.

    ...

    Jason todd never wondered why he had a white streak in his hair. It's just a side effect of the Pit... right?

    And Danny? He's just wondering who this death-kissed, almost-halfa man is that he keeps seeing around Gotham!

    Jason wonders much the same about the obviously-lazarus pit survivor that is Danny Janus Nightingale.
