    Summary

    Dick Grayson becomes an older brother, quite suddenly, just over three months after his fifteenth birthday.

    The sleeping toddler in his father’s arms looks generally unaware of his whereabouts and the changes in surroundings as he curls in on himself, looking cold in the thin, muted green onesie that’s a bit too big for him. Bruce, still in his Batman suit bar the cowl, looks more shocked (and grief stricken, if Dick’s properly learnt his father’s minuscule expressions and what they mean) rather than looking fond or happy. He’s sitting in the pivot chair he usually uses when he’s on the batcomputer, but he’s facing away from the monitors and looking at Dick now, sitting on a spare chair in front of him.

    “A… brother,” Dick repeats, carefully. “A baby brother.”

     

    or

    Talia gives Damian to Bruce when he's one and a half years old. This one decision leads to a series of fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on who is looking at it) events that speeds up the 'accidental' acquisition of the rest of Dick Grayson's siblings. Mostly, though, it just makes Damian and Dick (as well as the others) closer.

    Well.

    At least Dick has his bigger family sooner.

    Summary

    Damian Wayne always believed his worth was measured by the edge of his sword and the scars on his back. But after a mysterious event, he wakes up in a world where his marks have disappeared, his room is full of stuffed animals, and his siblings look at him with a tenderness he can't process.

    OR

    After switching places with a version of himself who was taken from the League at age five, Damian must hide his assassin nature and pretend to be the "Baby Bat" that this family adores.

    Summary

    One moment, Jason was peacefully sleeping, perfectly content with his life with the League of Assassins. Okay, so maybe not content content, but he wasn't unhappy, either. Then Talia woke him up at 2 am, threw three children at him, and told him to get them to America and far away from Ra's al Ghul.

    What the fuck.

    The last thing he wanted was to see Bruce. But with three brats relying on him and no Talia, there weren't many options for sanctuary. He just didn't expect the kids to grow on him so much in two short weeks.

    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

    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.)

    Summary

    “Like he was replaced by a baby? Or he was de-aged?” 

    Irrational irritation flares.

    “He wasn’t replaced by a fucking baby, Tim-” Dick starts.

    “Timothy?” Damian asks. Silence again. Dick gapes. Damian’s tiny brow pinches. “Timothy?” 

    “Damian?” Tim asks incredulously.

     

    OR

    When Damian gets de-aged, he imprints on the last person any of them would expect: Tim

    Summary

    It was a novelty, to not have a single person walking around, a novelty that Tim would trade in a thousand times if it meant getting his brother better and faster help. As it was, Tim could only do damage control.

    Damage control and soft, calming reassurances because at some point tears had started spilling down Damian’s face and Damian does not cry often.

    Unlike Damian’s ribs, one of his shoulders were clearly misaligned. The sooner it was set the better but his hand still had a pulse which meant for now it wasn’t actually the next priority.

    Tim’s knees were drenched in Damian’s blood but he shoved away the sensation, wasting a moment instead on combing a hand through Damian’s hair.

    As Tim watched, Damian’s chest stuttered.

    Summary

    For the first time in a long time, Damian is truly alone.

    Since arriving at his father's house, he had never experienced loneliness again. Although it had been difficult at first, he met people he learned to call family.

    It wasn't an easy process; it took years, but at some point, they got there.

    He learned to love and be loved; he was finally happy.

    So when he lost everything he had achieved, it hurt even more.

    It was a gradual process, but little by little, everyone started to move on with their lives.

    And Damian was left behind.

    Or: Damian is lonely, his family realizes something is wrong and won't stop until they find out what it is.

    Summary

    Four times Jon called Uncle Bruce for help (and one time Damian called Clark because he was jealous.)

    “Jon,” Bruce shook his head. He tried to put himself in the child’s shoes, bringing up a hand to massage his head, the painkillers Alfred insisted on taking weren’t having an effect yet. “Jon, what’s the matter?”

    The boy cried a few seconds more as he struggled to catch a breath that let him speak. “My tu— stomach.” He revealed.

    Bruce’s anxiety heightened. “Your stomach hurts?”

    “Uh huh,” Jon replied, sounding every bit of a child he was.

    Odysseus used to ridicule the story od Oedipus, for how could one have both healthy eyes and not recognise their own father? How could one look upon the features of their own blood and remain blind to them?

    Oedipus must have been dim-witted, he had decided.

    Odysseus knew not why in this instance, surrounded by carcasses of one hundred and nine men, was he remembering such a ridiculous tale.

    Summary

    "Robin!" Jason's voice bellowed, gun already drawn and pointed at Michael. How could Damian let his guard down and not notice the man pulling a knife?!

    It only took Damian a split second to realize what was going on, and before Jason could pull the trigger, he called out, "Red Hood, no!" and, pushing his feet off the ground to throw himself in front of Michael.

    A gunshot rang through the air, and a painful grunt left Damian's lips as his body was thrust back from the force of the bullet, and a searing pain flashed through his veins.

    Jason's eyes widened when he realized, and his gun clattered to the ground. No!, he thought. That—That couldn't be! Why did Damian do that? Jason couldn't quite finish his thoughts before he raced over to where Damian was lying, hand clutched to his shoulder.

    Summary

    “He thought he knew all pains, he was wrong. 

    His breaths came out short. Panting through the thoughts melting into each other. No matter how he shifted, the hurt sharpened itself, screeching through his body. He long wished to ignore it, but there was something so intimate about it that he couldn’t.”

    Laying in his bed after experiencing a violating assault, Damian can’t find it within himself to act brave. Unable to be strong any longer, he finds himself calling for his father.

    His father, who would let the universe burn if it meant that his youngest was safe in his arms.

    Summary

    Death was not a new concept to Damian Wayne. Not when he died. Over and over and over. Not when the Lazarus Pit flowed beneath his skin. Death wasn't something Damian was worried about .Not when he couldn't die. But holding secrets from his family, who paint him as reckless and too abrasive, is bound to pile up till it explodes. And of course, it starts and ends with Damian dying. Oh, and Jon's there too. Damian blames the start of his unraveling as Jonathan's fault. But, to be fair, its really not as bad as it seems. For Damian at least.

    Summary

    In his home country, Damian was familiar with receiving punishments for his actions. He knew what the repercussions were for sloppiness in his hand-to-hand combat, or miscalculations in his arithmetics. He made improvements based on this feedback. He liked knowing exactly what he needed to do.

    With Bruce, however, there is nothing to build on. There is retribution, but not any chances for improvement.

    It unravels Damian. He can deal with many things, but not this. He can take anger, but this is indifference.

    In his first year as Robin, Damian struggles. Not with his training or his academics, but with a hurdle much more formidable: his relationship with the people who are supposed to be his family.
