(Not) so happy birthday by Speechless_since_1998

Summary
"My birthday," Bruce repeated, as if the word sounded foreign.
"I know, it was last week, but…”
"Look, if you were expecting a big party, you were wrong. Just open this damn gifts," Jason blurted out, getting glares from everyone else.
Nice way to apologize, Jason! They were wrong, for once!
Bruce, however, remained unruffled. He was too familiar with Jason's bullshit, "I wasn't expecting anything…”
"Well, then open these…”
"Because I haven't celebrated my birthday in years."
(Dick tries to celebrate Bruce's birthday after his return from the time stream. It didn't go as he wanted.)

Summary
"You didn't think to call? Not even once?" Dick shouted, a reaction he was more familiar with.
Anger, he could handle that.
Fear? No, he couldn't.
And knowing that Bruce's illness was stealing his last years with more cruelty than anything the Joker or Bane had ever done was terrifying.
(After years of not seeing their father, Dick and his brothers learn that he is dying. They take it as well as one might expect.)

Summary
“If I can free you from the contract, you can take me with you to the human world. You have to take me with you, otherwise I won't help you."
“Do you think I would leave you behind?”
“You just said you thought I was fae. There is no solid basis for trust,” the child snorted. “I have nothing against you, I know you're a hero and all. But it's better to be foresight."
Bruce nodded. It made perfect sense to him.
“I'll take you with me…”
“You must swear by your real name,” the kid interrupted. “Names have power here. Even if you're not fae. Swear that you will take me back, and I will help you. “
“You ask a lot of me.”
“Your secret identity is the least of your problems right now, don't you think?”
That was a great point.
[A few months after Jason's death, Bruce is kidnapped to marry the Unseelie Queen. In a court full of vipers, his only ally is a child he can't help but grow fond of]

Summary
"Tim, why are you dressed as the Red Hood?" he asked, his voice choked.
"Duh, why shouldn't I? You're a hero," was the boy's reply, oblivious to his older brother's mind-whacks.
Jason blinked, "Do you really think so?"
"Yes, you're as strong as Batman. But you were Robin before, so you're a lot cooler."

Summary
"The Justice League, Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen in particular, love to say that Bruce is too serious.
They say he needs to lighten up. They say he is too anal about things. They say he is too strict. They say a whole lot of things.
But Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen do not have to deal with things like this.
“Bruce, I’m telling you,” Tim says, frantically, “this is in no way my fault. If I had to blame anyone, it would be Dick anyway!”
“Me?” Dick cries, scandalized that his brother would throw him under the bus like this, and almost lets the ice pack slip from his black eye, “why is it my fault?”
“I don’t know,” Jason drawls, sounding utterly bored by the whole situation, “I think I agree with Replacement on this.” "
or, alternatively, Bruce confiscates Jason's rocket launcher and sets off a chain reaction, Dick somehow gets dragged into Jason's mess, Tim wishes his brothers weren't maniacs, and maybe it's really a matter of points of view.

Summary
It's been years, decades. A lifetime ago, honestly. He doesn't even know how the fuck he remembers it in the first place, because if he was two or three at the time he was being generous. But somehow the incident is seared into his brain, has been since it happened. It's been one of his most common dreams, let alone nightmares. Sometimes the people change, sometimes the subject matter or the locations change, sometimes the ending changes. But the beginning is always the same.

Summary
The familiar words shoved to the forefront in his mind, screaming with all the pain and hate burning a repetitive pounding in his chest. "You know I don't play by your shitty rules. You think that piece of shit didn't deserve it? You think I'm some sort of freak for protecting myself?"
He could have killed me, his heart screamed. He would have killed me and you would have just let it happen, and then you would sit back and pretend to cry and then go on with your stupid fucking bullshit quest of a life.
