    Bookmarker's Notes

    Part 1
    Damian isn't sure if he'll ever fill his father's shoes. Not as Batman, a mantle which he once coveted and now wants nothing to do with, or as Richard Grayson's legal guardian. But with his father dead, he has no choice but to step up. It's not like Tim - busy searching for a way to bring Bruce back - or Jason - Crime Alley's infamous Red Hood - are going to look after the boy. He wishes he could ask his father for advice. It's not like he's got a wealth of responsible parental figures in his life to turn to when he needs a helping hand, and Richard is definitely a handful.

    Like right now, for instance: he just will not stop poking that magical artefact they're supposed to be watching for Zatanna!

    It'll be fine, right?

    OR: a Reverse Robins AU in which older sibling Damian and younger sibling Dick accidentally travel to a universe where their ages are reversed, Bruce and Alfred are still alive, and a shocking amount of things are still the same.

    Part 2
    Damian watches the Flying Graysons fall. He and his father turn the boy over to the Gotham Police department, content to assume that he'll be appropriately taken care of by the system. They can't take in another child, not after Jason was killed. There will never be another Batboy as long as Damian is alive to forbid it.

    But when Damian finds out that Dick is hunting down the Maroni crime family and has been placed in juvenile detention due to lack of beds in Gotham's orphanages, he can't simply look the other way.

    OR: Dick Grayson has a brief intermission in juvie before joining the Batfamily as the youngest son.

    Part 3
    The Red Hood's explosive introduction to Gotham prompts Damian to take Richard back to Bludhaven for his own protection. It's a good idea in theory, but Hood has more resources and more pent up anger toward the Batfamily than they initially realized. When confronted with the limitations of the family's moral code and the idea that some villains are past the point of saving, he struggles not to think of his own bloody upbringing in the League of Assassins.

    OR: Jason comes back from the dead and makes it everyone else's problem.

    Part 4
    When Richard's parents died, Damian scooped the boy into his arms and told him not to look. When Damian's father dies, he wishes there was someone to do the same for him. But he can't break down, at least not yet. There are things that need to be done. Logistics to be seen to. Richard needs a guardian. Someone needs to take over Wayne Enterprises. Someone needs to take over Batman. This might just be the thing that tears the family apart for good.

    OR: Bruce dies, and the Batboys try to figure out how to cope in the aftermath.

    Part 5
    Deathstroke's contract to keep Dick safe has been haunting Damian since he first heard about it, but it's not until the boy goes missing that he realizes how much trouble they're in. The Batboys have been on the outs since Bruce died, but they'll have to band together to keep Dick safe.

    OR: Eight months after Bruce dies, the Court of Owls makes a movie on Dick.

    Part 6
    As it turns out, finding childcare for a thirteen year old vigilante is not the easiest thing in the world. This means that Damian reluctantly has to bring Dick to the Watchtower with him for the occasional meeting, which leads to other members of the JL bringing their kids. It'll be good for them to have friends their own age, right? What could possibly go wrong?

    OR: Dick forms the Teen Titans right under Damian's nose.

    Summary

    Waking up in a strange bed under a ceiling he doesn’t recognize is not on his To Do list that fine Saturday morning. But considering the way his life has been going since he was nine, that feels about par for the course.

    Waking up to his dead mother’s face, more aged and refined and as beautiful as he remembers, should be something he can compartmentalize. He’s had enough run-ins with time travel and dimension travel and time loops to fill a sci-fi section in the world’s largest library. It doesn’t keep it from hurting though.

    Summary

    There was little that Dick Grayson was expecting when he opened the door to desperate knocking at three in the afternoon.
    A lost child? A neighbor in need of a cup of sugar?
    Definitely not a child holding a baby claiming that it was Dick's baby brother.
    Definitely not a kid who said he was being chased by ninjas, and that only Dick could help him.

    Or

    What does Tim Drake do when he learns that his baby brother isn't really his baby brother, but the son of none other than Bruce Wayne? How does he react when ninjas appear to kidnap his baby brother, who he swore to always protect?

    Summary

    In the weeks since his parents' death, his take over as CEO of Drake Industries, and basically a complete upheaval of life as he knows it, Tim Drake has been doing everything he can to gain the approval of his company, the press, and the general public. Easy, right?
    Except, apparently, there's something more sinister going on beneath DI's shiny veneer. And now Tim's fighting for his life literally, not just metaphorically. Good thing the Bats are there to protect him. But why are these people so interested in his life? Seriously, don't they have better things to do? So long as Tim makes it out alive and the Bats never find out he knows their secret, everything will be fine. Too bad nothing ever goes right for Tim.

    OR

    Tim Drake is a super badass CEO/detective/genius, but even the most resourceful of 16-year-olds needs some help when a crime lord wants them dead.

    You work for me? by Anonymous

    Summary

    “I know you got a secret identity and all, but let me know if you ever need a job.”

    Peter couldn’t help the snort. If only the man knew that he was already working for him. “I’ll let you know.”

    There must have been something off about his tone, because Tony narrowed his eyes at him and just stared for a few seconds. Peter tilted his head innocently.

    “No way you already work for me.”

    An innocuous comment sparks an idea that Spider-Man is a Starks Industries employee. Which he is, but surely that’s not enough to out him, is it?

    Tony will not rest until his crazy theory gets proven correct.
