Summary
Garp knew the moment Roger told him about his kid that it would only spell out trouble. In no life would he be able to sit back and let the kid die before he ever got to live.
In another life, that meant keeping the child at a distance. The less known about his “grandson,” the better. Let them believe it was for the crimes of his own son. But that life ended with Garp sitting on a parapet, helpless as the boy he had watched grow up was executed for the very crime he spent years protecting him from.
In this life, Garp kept him much closer and didn’t make it quite as far.
AKA The ASL brothers grow up slightly differently than in canon, and have to leave Dawn earlier than they anticipated.

Summary
After dying on the battlefield, Damian wakes up in a universe where he is Bruce Wayne's only child. Having to endure the League's training a second time is a challenge, but upon reaching Gotham, Damian is thrilled. His so-called "siblings" had really been more trouble than they'd been worth, and Damian had always been the true son anyways. Now he doesn't have to fight for the position that is rightfully his.
Except… the Manor is awfully quiet. And Damian has started talking to himself. And… maybe his siblings weren't completely useless. They gave him Robin, after all, something that Damian hadn't been able to deny himself when he'd rejoined Batman in Gotham's shadows.
And then Damian meets this world's Timothy Drake, who's years younger than Damian and stuck with neglectful parents who don't even know their son's age, much less that he's following Batman and Robin around Gotham with a camera.
Damian had been a horrible younger brother, but… maybe he can be an adequate older brother.
(It isn't easy, but he turns out to be far better than adequate.)

Summary
The boy had dark gray circles under his eyes that he’d clearly covered up with makeup, but his unusually pale skin made the contrast too steep for foundation. He was also way too thin. It was all coming together to create a more unfortunate image in which Tim was silently struggling, but saving face for the sake of his image. It was admirable, if not incredibly unhealthy.
Dick says he just needs time. Jason says he’s rich, so he can’t be that sad.
Bruce says he’s depressed.OR
Tim thinks he’s being investigated by the Bats because he's a genius who secretly solves their cold cases, but an idiot when it comes to anything social. Bruce actually just wants to make sure Tim’s okay because he's a teenaged CEO with dead parents, and Bruce sees too much of himself in him.

Summary
Dick was folded into a family of people he doesn't remember, in a city he doesn't know, in a country he wants to leave. His family is dead or gone, and he has no idea what's going on.
He lost his opportunity to do the simple thing and tell the Waynes he has no idea what's going on.
So he'll forge forward, find clues about himself, and play his part flawlessly. The perfect brother, the perfect son, the perfect friend.
How did he not go crazy before?...What was that about a cave? He has no interest in spelunking, thanks.
