    Summary

    Alfred will always ensure Wayne Manor is well-protected. Even if it means dipping into skills he amassed for an entirely different profession.

    (or, the one where Bruce Wayne is a former doctor turned blissful soccer dad of seven, Alfred is a butler-grandfather who got in way too deep, and Wayne Manor is the safest place in Gotham for a reason)

    Summary

    She remembers Bruce’s face - haunted and resigned with steel in his eyes. A flicker of Batman in the mild posture of Bruce Wayne. And how Stephanie wanted to give those old bags the verbal beatdown of a lifetime, but Bruce put a hand on her back and steered them away from the crowd. “It’s not worth it,” he said. He barreled on when he saw Stephanie open her mouth, a retort already shaping on the tip of her tongue. “I’m used to it. I don’t want them to drag you into this”. As if they already don’t - Bruce Wayne and all of his charity cases.

    “You’re so pretty, you know?” she suddenly starts. Bruce slowly blinks, the way he does at the rare instance that something is confusing him and his brain can’t catch up fast enough to come up with a solution. “Come on, Jason. Back me up here”.

    Jason sighs. “Your so fucking pretty it makes me wanna vomit”. He turns away, hiding his face behind his hand, but she can still spot the hint of redness on the tip of his ears.

    or

    An asshole slutshames Bruce Wayne at a gala, earning Stephnaie's ire. The old man won't do anything about it, but Stephanie will. She'll enhance his beauty, make him beautiful, unattainable - a true prince

    Summary

    Your father’s child body should not have been covered in bruises and broken bones.

    His youngest brother brought little Bruce’s hand up, resting his forehead against the back of B’s hands. “You were supposed to be safe”, he growled into Bruce’s hand. He emphasised the word safe, spat the word out with so much offense that as if with enough strength, Damian could will his wish into existence and rewrite this cruel moment of Bruce’s past and morph it into something kinder, something more befitting for a man who will spend the rest of his adulthood covered in the same kind of bruises and walk the earth with bones broken ten, twenty times over from protecting a city that bites the hands that try to hold it with even the slightest hint of kindness and later, from protecting the whole world with the strength of his heart and the wit of his mind as his greatest weapon.

    “You were supposed to be l—" Damian’s breath hitched, and it was a terrible sound.

    Loved. Dick finished in his heart. You were supposed to be loved.
