Just Another Fun Day at the Theatre for Brucie Wayne by alchemistsarego

Summary
Damian resisted every urge to whip around to him and demand that he stop wasting time, pressing a sharp nail into the palm of his hand in such a way that even the paparazzi should not be able to use as evidence of weakness within the Wayne lineage.
Father waved once more and the crowd erupted into cheers and it was an explosion of sound that had Damian stagger only he could not stagger.
Wayne’s and al Ghul’s do not stagger and yet he was now two paces to the left of where he was meant to have been. Any assassin worth their salt could very well take advantage of those two paces and so Damian shot back towards his rightful position by Father’s side, waiting for the roar of gunfire or the glinting of steel.
A voice from the crowd called out above the rest and it must be a verbal attack from how Father tensed the slightest amount but the words themselves did not make any sense at all despite Damian knowing seventeen languages fluently and even more in passing, he was meant to understand, he needed to understand.

In which Damian's dead and Tim has lost one too many people to accept that.
Platonic Orpheus-Eurydice not-AU set after Damian's canonical death (that I am still deeply bitter about). Likely throws Wonder Woman canon right out of the window.

Summary
“He knew he could be great. How unfair of the world to make him feel so small.” - Juni Ba, The Boy Wonder Issue #1
Damian Wayne knows he has an issue with self-harming. He also knows the solution to his crippling guilt is only a short-term one, but he doesn't see any other forms of reprieve.
One night, on patrol, he comes across a parrot that has a similar issue of damaging itself. Fate is funny that way--it often likes to walk hand-in-hand with coincidence.
As Damian spends more days with the bird at his side, he begins to realize that perhaps the endeavor that is his life does not have to be a lonely one. (And soon enough, he will understand just how much his father and brother love him.)Or: Damian meets a cockatoo, and subsequently takes it home. Both birds have a little bit of a plucking problem.

Summary
“Do you have to ‘meditate’ here?” Tim huffs, turning away and starting to make his coffee. He feels Damian’s scowl piercing into the back of his head.
“I don’t see your name written over the walls, Drake.”
“I never said it was.” Tim pulls out a cup and places it on the counter. Squints, through the dark, at the right buttons to press on the Keurig. “Go to sleep.”
“No,” Damian says. “Get out.”
“Don’t see your name written over the walls.”
Or, Tim's sleeping schedule leaves things to be desired. Sometimes, Damian's does too.
Miraculously, this doesn't cause nearly as many issues as one would think.

Summary
The world has forgotten Peter Parker.
After erasing himself from the memories of everyone who has ever known him, Peter begins to completely lose himself. Moving through the world like a shadow, he barely exists outside of Spiderman. He is entirely alone in the universe. And slowly, even Peter begins to forget himself from behind the mask.
Meanwhile, the Avengers are barely recovering after saving the universe from Thanos. Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff are barely surviving - saved only by a long year of intensive care and medical miracles.
When a new threat emerges that threatens to destroy everything the Avengers fought to save, the team has to defend Earth once more. And, with the web-slinger Spiderman always showing up at the scene of the crime, the best course of action is to join forces.
But the masked vigilante is very secretive about his identity and past, and something about him is eerily familiar.

Summary
"One day, Damian Wayne will break or save this world."
The prophecy has followed Damian since he was seven years old. He doesn't think about it.
Instead, Damian Wayne keeps a ledger.
Entry #17: Father called him sweetheart after a difficult grapple.
Entry #23: Jason left a book by his chair. No note.
Entry #42: Timothy pushed the popcorn bowl closer. Didn't notice.He's been cataloguing small affections for four years, trying to understand a love that isn't a transaction. Trying to become someone who belongs.
But when a stranger recognizes his father through the cowl and calls Damian Crown Prince, the past he's been running from finally catches up. Someone has been watching him since before he could walk. Someone who still believes he belongs to them.
Damian has spent four years learning to be a Wayne. Now the al Ghul heir is being called home—and he'll have to decide which legacy he's willing to claim.
(A story about secrets, pain, forgiveness, and the long, hard work of becoming yourself.)

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.

"Everyone needs someone, that's what family is for." Bruce stays seated, his gaze unwavering. "I've learned this the hard way, you can't do this alone."
"I have before." He lifts his chin up, even if Bruce is still taller than him sitting down, he could still hold his own.
A grieved look flashes in his eyes, an anger Damian had never seen before, gone before he could really process it. "You shouldn't have had to, Damian."
Or: Damian is struggling to let go of his past and learn what it means to be part of a family.

Summary
He wants nothing more than to tell Erik the truth, to watch his eight year old dreams become a reality. For Erik to take Peter into his arms just like he always wanted.
But Peter knows better. He knows that besides the fact that Erik is grieving, that he wouldn’t want a son like Peter. A twenty-seven year old kleptomaniac who lived in his mom’s basement for years. Who flunked out of high school and stole treats like a pesky preteen.
It’s a fact so resolute and so hurtful, it hits Peter like a weight.
Erik will never accept you, he realizes. He will never love you.
A stabbing pain hits Peter’s chest, the familiar feeling of dry petals against his tongue.

Summary
Alfred’s heart was in his throat. He couldn’t do this again. He couldn’t survive this again.
“Mr Wayne was shot. He’s been taken to Gotham General, but we have Damian Wayne with us here at the station. He’s shaken up.”
“I’m on my way.” Was all Alfred could reply, hanging up.
He stood, in the dim light of the kitchen, holding the countertop as he breathed. How could this happen again? Was it the curse of the Wayne’s, to be gunned down on the streets of the city they gave their hearts to, right in front of their children?

Tips And Tricks To Being A Good Big Brother By Dick Grayson by player_tag
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
07 Jun 2026
Tags
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 events that speeds up the so-called '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.
