Not My Dad (But A Good Stand In) by maplesnmulberries

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.
(And so does everyone in consequence)-

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.)

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.

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?

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.

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.

Summary
Bruce steps into Duke’s path, blocking him from venturing further into the house. It takes a moment for Duke to register the new obstacle before him. His mouth drags into a lopsided grin. “Bruce! Wha’s—wassup? How’s your night goin’?”
“You’re drunk," Bruce accuses.
“Me? No way. No way. I would never do that.” Duke hiccups. “Totally sober.”

Summary
A complete rewrite of the script of Six: The Musical to be about the six Robins of the Batfamily, who are aware that they are comic book characters and somehow in the real world. How? Don't worry about it! The important thing is that they hold a live competition to decide who deserves to be the fans' favourite. What can they all be compared on? How painful their lives have been, obviously! And since this is the most dramatic family in the multiverse, it has to be a concert. I'm sure this will be a calm, rational, straightforward event.

Summary
“How did you do it, if you don’t mind me asking? How’d you…juggle all of it? This and them.” How could Tim compartmentalize all of it? When Duke is out there fighting criminals, all he can think about is his parents and how worried they would be if they knew what their son's life had become. And when he’s with them, all he can think about is what good he could be doing if he weren’t visiting Arkham every week. There's no winning.
