THE HUES IN OUR HAIR COMPLIMENT ONE ANOTHER. by orpheusaki
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
25 Jun 2022

Summary
"I have scars too." It's an offering, something small and fragile clasped in his palm. Bruce offers the hand holding the dangerous vulnerability of his life to Jason, waiting.
Jason turns to look at Bruce over his shoulder, and Bruce sees the moment understanding fills the boy's eyes. Sometimes Jason acts too old for his age, filled with empathy beyond his years.
He reaches out and accepts the small offering, holding it carefully in his own damaged hands.
(The first time Bruce washes his son's hair.)

Summary
When Grayson and his Father are fighting, they're incapable of agreeing on anything. Including, for example, whether or not Damian should be allowed to patrol on school nights.
It's when they're getting along that he most often finds himself stuck in the Manor overnight while all his family goes out to fight crime. When they're both insistent on nonsense such as a good night's sleep and healthy work-life balance, he has to use every last bit of his Mother's and Father's training to gain his freedom.

Summary
“Come again?”
“I…” Now, the tone is sullen, even in hesitation. “I got into a fight.”
Dick knows, both from news outlets and from whatever Alfred provides by osmosis and long phone calls, that Jason has been doing pretty alright as Robin so far. He’s a quick study. Still a rookie, still training hard to keep up with the mantle Dick left him, sure, but -- doing well. Dick glances at his far wall, still a little sleep-hazed as he puzzles together what exactly about a scrap requires a phone call.
“With Bruce?” Dick asks tentatively.
“At school,” Jason clarifies, and oh, yep, there’s the difference. That one’s a no-no.
--
Dick gives Jason his number.

Summary
Something is wrong with Jason.
This is as much as Bruce can gather, and it’s what he’s known since the beginning. It’s frustrating enough to make him want to tear his hair out. Because there's nothing. No toxin or external factor controlling Jason. Nothing that could lend itself to explaining why Jason has practically changed overnight.

As far as alien invasions go, this one was pretty smooth. At least it was right up until the aliens demanded a sacrifice. A child sacrifice.

Summary
There’s a crime scene board set up off to one side. Bruce wanders over to examine it while Batman goes about preparing the tests he’ll want to complete to make sure Bruce isn’t going to tear the fabric of spacetime apart.
He vaguely remembers this case. It was already a cold case even by the time Dick arrived, a murder whose trails had gone nowhere. It was one of the files he’d dusted off and given to Tim to practice his skills.
He hums approvingly as he studies the board. Tim’s getting close - once he finds the witness Bruce had overlooked the first time, he’ll have the lead he needs to crack the case.
Then he frowns, touching one of the photos of the building. It’s not one of the original crime scene photos, nor one of the ones Bruce himself had taken when the crime was fresh. Tim must have gone himself to take them after Bruce gave him the case.
Pride sparks in his chest, twisted with shame.
“Have you looked at this?” he asks, raising his voice enough for his younger self to hear him over by the monitors.
Batman grunts, glancing over and then away again. “It’s a cold case,” he says. “Robin’s been working on it.”
“I know that,” Bruce responds. “Have you looked at it?”

Tim had always figured that if he ever woke up in Vegas sans-memory, it would be when he was older than fourteen. But there were some things he couldn’t control, and apparently whatever had happened last night that he didn’t remember was one of them.

Summary
“I—” Tim recalibrated. Desperately, he scanned Dick’s face—his features blurred over, a wall of nothing; Tim chipped away: “You were a kid, who’ll blame a kid? They won’t hurt anyone again. If you want to, to, to talk to anyone—but it was a long time ago, you’re Nightwing now—”
Tuesday morning: a video was uploaded to one of the deep web black markets. The footage, shot on those grainy vintage camcorders. But Tim knew that boy in the thumbnail; his eyes had memorized him, the heft and shape and dazzle of him, imprinting like an afterimage.
Or: a brother is a witness; there's your tragedy.

Is All Anger Sin? by motleyfam for batmoniker

Summary
Now, Jason likes Tim, don’t get him wrong, but that kid’s got the self-preservation instincts of a wet paper towel. And not even the premium paper towels Alfred buys at Costco—that cheap shit you get at the Dollar Tree. The kid’s basically allergic to asking for help, and it’s fucking sad, okay?
Case in point, the fact that he’s currently bleeding all over the damn floor and still insisting that they don’t bother Bruce.
Well fuck that shit.

Summary
And okay, fine, Tim can admit it: his parents paying off a school official to circumvent social services just to see him was sketchy at best—probably illegal at worst. They really shouldn’t have done it. Bruce and Alfred would be furious to find out that they had. Not to mention Jason, who would go absolutely apeshit.
But–
But it was also just really fucking sweet of them.
Tim hasn’t felt this loved, this cherished, this fought for and desired by his parents in years.
Doesn’t he at least owe it to them to hear them out?
---
Three months into Tim’s foster placement with the Waynes, Jack and Janet Drake decide they want back into their son’s life.

Natural Consequences by motleyfam

Summary
If at six years old, Tim chose to watch that scary movie with the alien ripping open the guy’s stomach that Jack told him he was too young for, then he could change his own sheets later that night when he wet the bed from nightmares. If at eight, Tim broke a window playing with his new slingshot too close to the house, then he could pick up all the shattered pieces of glass himself and pay to replace it from his birthday savings. If at twelve, he was irresponsible enough to forget to request more funds on his school lunch account before his parents traveled to the remote mountains of Nepal, then he could go hungry for a few days until they returned to cell service range.
His parents rarely ever punished him, per se, but they’ve always been big believers in letting him feel the full weight of his natural consequences.
Tim knows better than to expect any help.
–--
When Tim gets hurt doing something stupid, there are a few misconceptions that still need to be cleared up between him and his new family.
