Summary
Dr. Lee Thompkins has spent decades of her medical career patching up the vigilantes of Gotham along with Bruce Wayne and his family. Nothing surprises her anymore, and she's definitely not squeamish, but when Wonder Woman comes to her clinic, that is put to the test.
The Justice League has finally found the missing Waynes after eight months of searching.
She doesn't know what to expect, she doesn't even know where Wonder Woman is taking her to treat them all. Gotham has been surviving without her Bats, Birds, and Waynes but barely, and it's up to Lee to ensure they pull through.
Whether any of them actually recover will have to be up to them.

Summary
Only a few weeks after their escape from eight months of captivity, the Bats of Gotham have returned to Wayne Manor, closing ranks around themselves.
Trauma manifests itself differently in every person, and that is no clearer than seeing how all six Waynes are reacting. Dick and Jason are going out every night (but not for patrol) while Tim and Cass are hiding themselves away, and Damian is pretending like he's fine.
Bruce isn't sure how he'll be able to help his family when he's barely treading water himself, wondering if he's even helping or just making everyone worse.
***
Or, 5 times Bruce couldn't help but worry about his kids + 1 time he lets others worry about him.

Knowing and the Mortifying Ordeal of Intimacy by Lost_Girl_02
Fandoms: Young Justice (Cartoon), Batman - All Media Types

Summary
Dick Grayson is fine. Totally fine.
Eight months of abduction and "torture," and he's come out feeling the best out of his family. It wasn't like he's really messed up from it, not in the way Jason or Dami or Cass or Tim really are.
No, he's fine.
Of course, he broke off his engagement and hasn't spoken to his (ex?) girlfriend again and he definitely doesn't miss her. He's more than okay with spending most of his nights getting secretly plastered and trying (and failing) to hook up.
Because, no, Dick Grayson is totally and completely "fine."
***
Or, 5 times Dick tried to fuck his problems away + 1 time he couldn't.

Summary
Jason Todd isn't unused to pain or violence or any number of horrible things, but walking out of the desert with his family while drugged to the gills with experimental steroids and addicted to the one substance he swore not to touch after watching his mom fall to the same demon when he was young.
With his sanity hanging on by an ever-tenuous thread, he really doesn't know what the hell Roy is thinking, sending him sex tapes with increasing regularity. This isn't what he needs.
When his blood gets hot, it's not a quick fuck that ever sets him straight, it's just to find someway to get his knuckles bloody.
But Jason might be running out of options for opponents soon. And he really doesn't want to know what will happen if he does.
***
Or, 5 times Jason wanted to fight + 1 time he wanted to surrender.

Summary
Wayne Manor isn't haunted in the traditional sense, with spirits and phantoms to scare children in the night, but there's been a ghost living there for months.
When Cass first arrived at the Manor, she didn't feel safe anywhere except the attic. Full of dust and relics, she could stay hidden away, unseen by anyone, a weapon put in her place, just learning to be something, someone, else.
And after eight months of torture, Cass retreated to her sanctuary once again, wondering if she would ever feel safe enough again to see the outside world.
***
Or, 5 times Cass didn't want to be found + 1 time she didn't have to hide.
