Return to the Roots: Son of Gotham No More by Milky_boom11

Summary
Damian once believed the Wayne Manor was his home, and the people in it his family. Like a foolish child, he clung to their attention, mistaking duty and tolerance for love. But over time, they pulled away. One by one, they left him behind. And slowly, painfully, he understood: he was nothing more than a pet they had outgrown.
So he stopped caring. And in that silence, he remembered who he used to be. What he was trained to be. The League offered clarity. Purpose. Expectation. And a mother who had never hidden who she was.
After a hollow family dinner and a single unbearable request—“Call me Mom”—Damian makes his decision.
Damian Wayne is no more. Gotham is no longer his home.
The only question that remains is: when the Batfamily realizes he’s gone...
will they try to bring him back?
And if they do, will there be anything left to save?Bookmarked by Pebbleswan

Summary
“He found himself wondering if anyone would notice before the spell was up. It seemed unlikely; there were often stretches where contact was limited between him and his family. Normally, it was not born from necessity but rather strife. And perhaps strife would bleed from this.
He hoped not.”
When a confrontation with a powerful magic user goes awry, Damian is cursed, robbing him of his voice. Or, communicate without a fresh bruise appearing, that is.
What begins as an inconvenience quickly spirals into something far worse, as he finds himself struggling with the mounting realization: no one has noticed. As his silence deepens, so do the rifts with his family. He’s not helped by the many more sinister theories the people around him assume because of his new temperament.
One thing is certain: he really, really hates magic.
