Summary
The first time it happens, Bruce doesn’t do a great job at hiding his surprise. It was only a couple weeks after Tim’s adoption was officially finalized - hyphenated name and all. Bruce still smiles to himself at the memory of reading ‘Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne’ on those papers, trying not to choke up at his third son being the first to take the Wayne name. Of course that was never an expectation, but still, it meant something that Tim chose to take it.
With that considered, perhaps Bruce shouldn’t have been quite so shocked by the teen calling him ‘Dad’, but he is. And he’s even more startled to hear it declared loudly as Tim abruptly sprints towards him down the hall at full speed.
“Dad Test!”
Or
Tim starts a trend in the family of jumping at Bruce at random, increasingly difficult times shouting: 'Dad Test!' to see if he'll catch them. This leads to many shenanigans & then crash lands into angst because of course it does.

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.
Batman's child.

Summary
Sometimes all it takes to protect your son is to let him protect himself.
Or: Bruce doesn’t remember the week and a half he spent de-aged, but even he can tell that people are acting oddly around him. Especially Jason. It all comes to a head when an infamous clown escapes from Arkham.
Or: After everything, we were supposed to be fine. Good, even. But your forgiveness had conditions that I couldn’t follow.

Summary
“We know you juggle a lot of things at once; you’re a CEO, a vigilante, and you have six kids who don't really have the best self-preservation skills. That's gotta be at least a little bit stressful. "
Bruce refrains from telling him that's the understatement of the year. The side of his mouth nearly quirks up into a small smile, "You're not included?"
Duke is smug with his answer, "'Course not. And I was never angry at you for ignoring me. It’s just that sometimes you tend to be a bit…”
Bruce raises an eyebrow in question.
“Scatterbrained.”
He pouts, “I’m not scatterbrained.”
“Yeah, mom, you are,” Duke says as if it’s the most obvious thing ever.
“Batman isn’t scatterbrained,” he petulantly counteracts.
“But Bruce Wayne can be."

he just wants his dad by Muddell

Summary
“B,” Dick cries, dropping into his chest, shoulders shaking.
For an awful, awful moment, Dick realizes he’s made a mistake. He’s not twelve anymore—the kid who crawled into Batman’s lap is gone, grown up. He shouldn’t be doing this, he shouldn’t need this.
And then Bruce’s arms fold him in closer. “Shh,” he murmurs. “It’s okay.”
Dick cries harder, he’s desperate, dragging himself onto Bruce to wrap winding limbs around him. He doesn’t want to let go. Everything hurts, inside and out, and he wants…he wants…
“Dad,” Dick says. “Dad, help.”
Or, Dick gets many hugs over the years, but there's one he needs.

Summary
“Are we gonna do this, like, the Bat way, or the normal person way?”
“You mean are we gonna turn it into a weird joke when we talk about it because none of you are capable of expressing human emotions?”
“I mean exactly that, yes.”
- - -
Tim is injured while fighting Two-Face and, because of circumstances that may or may not involve the kid's lack of spleen and a low stock of Bat-Antibiotics, his siblings are forced to take him to Mount Justice instead of the Batcave for medical care. Which is fine. Really. The only problem is that the Team is unaware that Jason is alive. Also, they're unaware of Damian and Cass's existences, and of the fact that the Robins are all siblings, and of the fact that the Bats aren't actually harboring a dangerous villain in the Red Hood, but rather a dangerous-but-friendly anti-hero in the Red Hood. Big difference.
Fine, so maybe they have some explaining to do. But dammit if they're not gonna do it the Bat way.

Mentors v Proteges by Seer_Sybil
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types
03 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
Batman should've known his kids were planning something when Nightwing somehow convinced the others agree to have the mentors and proteges spar against each other one-on-one
Only for Red Hood to up it by saying instead of one-vs-one it should be mentor vs all their proteges at once. God dammit Oliver for being easy to provoke.
Now not only does Bruce have to somehow explain why he's not only sparring with Red Robin and Robin, but seven (eight if you count Oracle) vigilantes against him. Three of which he was certain weren't in the Tower an hour ago.
Oh well. That's for future Batman to deal with.

“kill them with kindness” wrong. CAR. by lemonlimemadness

Summary
Bruce, like every self-respecting young Gothamite did, pretended to be a decent human being for as long as he was in the presence of his driving instructors. It’s been years and hundreds of speeding tickets since then, and that’s without even mentioning his handling of the Batmobile.
Now, it’s Dick’s turn. Having just turned sixteen, he can finally apply for a driver’s license (legally). The problem?
Dick, who basically grew up in the front seat of the Batmobile, has no benchmark for what is considered ‘normal’ driving.
Alternatively; Dick Grayson is finally allowed to take his driving test. There are casualties involved.

Summary
“So!” Dick says with great fanfare, throwing himself across Bruce’s designated chair with nary a care in the world.
The Justice League look on with a mix of befuddled awe, like they’ve never seen a child dressed up like a traffic light before. Which they haven't. Bruce mentally steels himself as Dick clears his throat. “Why am I here, you ask? Well, when two people love one another very, very much-”
“You’re adopted.” Bruce says.
Or; Bruce lets Dick attend a Justice League meeting on the Watchtower. Bruce has regrets.

Summary
There are three things the Justice League is absolutely certain about Batman:
1. He’s got trust issues the size of Gotham.
2. He probably has, like, two kids. Max three.
3. He definitely doesn’t do softness.Until Nightwing gets dosed mid-battle with a new truth serum, and starts calling Batman Dad in front of everyone like it’s common knowledge.
(Or: Lex Luthor rallies a villain team-up, the League calls in the Titans, and a delirious Dick Grayson shatters the illusion Bruce has spent years crafting)

Summary
Bruce heads to the Watchtower to research some magic he came across on patrol. He wasn't expecting a large group of heroes to be sitting there without explanation. This means that he wasn't prepared for someone asking him to take something. Letting his cape open and allowing the gremlins to spill out probably wasn't his best idea, though.
