    Summary

    Preening was the most intimate ritual in avian cultures. Done only by family and partners, it was more than simple hygiene for avians. It was a gesture of trust and love. There were very specific customs about where they were done, what words were spoken to cue the ritual, and who could do it. Traditions varied slightly, but the core concepts remained the same. Among avians, requests to preen and be preened were expected to be semi-frequent, in order to maintain the deep bonds that avians kept with each other.

     

    Or, 5 times Bruce preens his birds and 1 time they preen him.

    Bruce doesn’t like to credit one thing for saving his life, but if he did, it would be Haly’s Circus that Friday night in September, just as summer was beginning to die.

    (He'll always be a sucker for kids with sad eyes, no parents, and more fight than the world knows what to do with.)

     

    Or: in a universe where superheroes don't exist, Bruce Wayne finds his family.
