    Summary

    "You must have a source," Duke said. "Tell us what it is."

    "Okay, okay! I read about you guys. That's how I know that stuff."

    "Read about us? Where?"

    "Online," the goon stammered. "Have—have you ever heard of AO3?"

     

    Investigating a mysterious uptick in criminal knowledge of the Bats, Duke discovers the source of their information: fanfiction from Gothamites on AO3. Recruiting seasoned fanfic author Tim Drake and world's best hate commenter Damian Wayne, the three youngest Bats set out to spread misinformation, cause chaos, and snag a high hits-to-kudos ratio along the way.

    Summary

    ‘Right,’ Tim said, in the voice he used on missions, ‘we’re going to have to call in an expert.’
    *
    ‘Hey guys!’ Dick said, voice slightly crackly over Tim’s phone speakers. ‘What’s up? I’m not supposed to visit until tomorrow - is something wrong?’
    -
    Something is seriously not right with Bruce. They’re a family of detectives and no one can figure it out. It’s kind of embarrassing.

    They’re all starting to get worried.

    Summary

    "Father said Robin cannot cry. It would show vulnerability," Damian sniffed, glancing up at his newest brother warily despite the way his body relaxed slightly in their proximity.

    "That's because Batman doesn't do emotions. You're like eleven or something little man, cry if you feel like it."

     

    OR;

     

    Damian gets hurt and Duke is the only one around to see it. Luckily he's a little more emotionally composed than the rest of his siblings.

    Summary

    Duke Thomas had been with the family for six months. Officially, at least. Had known them for at least a year before that. Age sixteen, now, he had reluctantly allowed them to place him under their custody after being on his own for a while. It was comfortable enough. He'd been content to be fostered, even though the offer of adoption remained extended.

    He was given independence. Independence that he craved. It had been his most important condition upon joining: that he be a Bat, but not a Robin. Gotham's solo daytime vigilante.

    It was just...professional boundaries, Duke told himself. Bruce was Batman, and Batman was like, his mentor-supervisor-vigilante landlord. Or something. Not his dad. He had a dad. And not really a paternal figure, either, like how Steph and Babs viewed him.

    He liked the guy. Just...didn't need a dad. He was fine. Chilling.

    (Until he wasn't).

    Summary

    'It's just another tiny Arkham breakout,' they said. 'It's only Mr. Freeze and Firefly,' they said.

    Well, clearly ‘ they’ (Steph and Damian that is) were full of shit, because now Duke was awake at 5am, freezing half to death because one half of Gotham was a frozen wasteland, while the other was bathed in flames.

    Or: There's an Arkham breakout, and Duke suffers for it.

    Summary

    Diana realised with a jolt that none of them had actually asked him how he knew Batman. And she was just as curious as the rest of them about the “we”. It implied Batman worked with more people. ‘How did you come to know Batman? Does he have any other friends?’

    His mouth fell open, and he snorted, which evolved into full-out laughter. ‘I’m sorry. Oh my god - friends?’

    Diana felt a little hurt on Batman’s behalf. ‘Are you not his friend?'

    He shook his head. ‘Did B really not say anything? I’m hurt. No, I’m not his friend. I’m his son.’

    (An AU where the Justice League haven't met any of Bruce's kids.)

    Summary

    Duke is officially eighteen, and at a loss for what he's going to do after he finishes high school. College? A career? Moving out?

    The Batfamily is overbearing, even if they're trying to help, and Duke just wants a minute alone in PEACE.

    And that's when Damian shows up, demanding to join Signal on his daytime patrol.

    And it turns out...okay.

    (Duke & Damian bonding because I don't see enough of it and they're the last babies in the nest!!!!)

    Summary

    One thing.

    Duke just needed one thing.

    It was a small component but he needed it to complete a tool for his mission tomorrow, it was an important piece that he couldn’t leave or replace.

    And of course that one thing ended up going to titans tower with Dick who won't be returning for a few days and who isn’t answering the phone!

    It was already past Duke’s operation hours and he was going to finish up the dingy doo (Izzy did not approve of the name but Duke stands by it!) and turn in for an early night of playing animal crossing in bed, but alas he just had to leave it in the pocket of a Hoodie that he stole from Dick which Dick then stole back.

    Or

    Duke breaks into titan tower to retrieve something dick accidentally stole, why not cause some havoc on the way?

    Summary

    So, when he realised one day once he looked down that he was missing his shadow, the first thing he checked was to make sure he wasn’t also glowing. Can’t have a shadow if you’re the light source after all.

    Nope, not glowing.

    Weird.

    AKA
    Duke's shadow works like Peter Pan's and immediately chooses violence

    Summary

    In an alternate universe, when the Waynes are shot down outside that theatre, little Bruce Wayne dies along with them.
    Years later, eight of those he had mentored in countless other universes - eight whom in this universe received no help and no guidance - are hit with a barrage of memories from a different time, from different versions of themselves. Most pressing about these memories is how they end: transdimensional entities destroyed their reality, and are coming for this one.

    Or: Talon Dick Grayson, Consciousness-on-the-internet Barbara Gordon, Red Hood But Worse Jason Todd, Joker Junior Tim Drake, Young Justice Member Stephanie Brown, League Bodyguard Cassandra Cain, Heir to the Demon's Head Damian Al Ghul, and Teen Titans Leader Duke Thomas all learn how to be family and save the world, in that order.

    Summary

    Duke Thomas is fine with being considered the "Good Kid" or "The-one-with-common-sense".

    He's fine with the fact that the majority of his family doesn't really know him.

    Really,

    He's fine with it.

    (No he's not.)

    (But at least he's not the only one.)

    Summary

    Two weeks ago, Duke was a Robin, leading a gang of others like him against the rising tide of petty criminals looking to exploit Batman’s absence. That’s recently changed, when the Robins trained by Batman came back to Gotham to get a handle on the situation, with mixed results. The Robins as a gang were scattered, most of them dropping back into civilian life. Duke Thomas isn’t among them.

    Nightwing tricked him during their last meeting, using his nervousness around heights against him. He takes to the rooftops to rectify that and, during one of his rooftop runs, comes across a strange girl surrounded in the street.
