    Summary

    Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?

    But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.

    (Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)

    Summary

    Ever since she was a young woman, standing in the bathroom, holding a pregnancy test with shaking hands- ever since then, eighteen years ago, she's had time to prepare to raise a hero. Ever since she's given him the name Perseus, she's been bracing to love a boy that could never be her own. A boy that would always belong to Olympus, to myths. No one wrote parenting books about what to do when you're holding your boy, seventeen years old, as memories of the worst place anyone's ever survived wreck through him.

    "I'm so scared of who I was down there, mom." He admits, soft into her hair.

    Or- What is there to do, in the days after the end of war, except hug your mom as tight as you can and treat your friends to her cookies?

    Summary

    And he would be here. Unchanged. Waiting. Remembering.

    His voice caught as he whispered into the stillness, “I love you. Always.”

    Summary

    It was Dick who'd taken up the Cowl after Bruce had died. It was Dick who'd become Batman, taking Damian, Tim, and Alfred with him to the penthouse for a fresh start.
    But things could never be that easy. All of them were haunted by sorrow: Tim not capable of believing that his second father was gone as well, Dick almost breaking under the pressure of standing tall in the face of a crisis, Damian uncomfortable and lost in these unfamiliar waters he was forced to navigate, and Alfred mourning yet another child.

     

     

    Or: In a world in which Bruce actually died, becoming a family again is harder than some might think. In the midst of fights, the racist white Gotham High Society, and Tim, who fled the nest in a last attempt to resurrect something that no longer exists, it is hard to find hope, and yet all of them somehow manage to do so anyways.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne always had to have contingencies. Even for himself. If that meant making a child into a weapon, then so be it.

Meanwhile, a new Batman and Robin rule the night. And.. uhhh... what precisely is going on with those lawyers?
