    Summary

    Dick Grayson was going to die. Not metaphorically—actually die. Torn to shreds in the worst possible way, brought back to life just so Bruce Wayne could kill him all over again.

    The moment he found out Robin had managed to blow Batman’s secret identity in the dumbest way imaginable —yeah, that would be the end of Dick Grayson.

    Or: One mistake.
    One night of blood, chaos, and one too many bad calls—
    Now there’s a new member in the family,
    and the city is about to learn who’s behind the cowl.

    Summary

    Alfred handed Bruce the full tray—the man had been wandering uselessly around the kitchen, and Alfred already had enough on his plate. The last thing he needed was for Bruce to burn the food or make a mess.

    “Would you mind taking this to the living room, sir?”

    Bruce let out a small chuckle and sat down at the kitchen table.

    “Alfred, there are four hungry men in that room."

    This man was once famous for his reckless bravery. Seeing him now, too afraid to walk into a noisy room without Alfred, left the old man not just worried, but quietly startled.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne prided himself on raising detectives.
    It had seemed like a good idea at the time: train his boys to read people, analyze evidence, stay ten steps ahead. A family of sharp minds and sharper instincts.

    Now, staring at the four of them lined up in front of him—calm, collected, infuriatingly smug—Bruce realized his mistake.

    He hadn’t raised sons. He’d raised opponents.

    Summary

    "Fine. Get back upstairs,” Bruce said, voice like gravel. “And you will write me an essay. Three pages. Handwritten. Titled Emotional Volatility and the Importance of Keeping Your Hands to Yourself.”

    Only Batman could say a sentence like that with a straight face. Only a Robin could flinch like he’d been punched hearing it.

    “ Due by tomorrow. Before breakfast. “

    Jason nodded.

    Subtle. Slight. But a nod.

    Aka: Jason’s on bed rest. Bruce is done being patient. One of them is about to lose.

    Summary

    Once, a long time ago, Dick Grayson saw a falling star and made a wish: “I want brothers.” He was maybe eight. Maybe delusional.

    And the universe, in its infinite, malevolent wisdom, said: “Okay, but you asked for this.”

    A.K.A: The story of how Jason got to look Bruce dead in the eye and say, 'You might be this city’s prince Mr.Wayne … but I’m Batman. I’m vengeance.'"
    Right in front of Gordon’s eyes.

    Summary

    - "Bruce, wait—let me explain! It’s not what It looks like!”

     

    It absolutely looked like what it was: Richard Grayson, age eight, had emptied the entire bottle of Alfred’s rare, imported shampoo onto the hundred-year-old hardwood floor of the main hall to create a giant, gleaming, dangerously slick slide for himself.

    Summary

    It had been months since Bruce stepped into a silent manor. Ever since he’d taken Dick in, there was always some noise waiting for him—quick footsteps, laughter, or the faint creak of someone trying not to get caught.

    This silence felt… haunted.

    Where was the kid?

    Summary

    When Bruce had first met him, he’d seen a smart-mouthed, bright, desperate kid in need of help.

     

    He hadn’t expected this—a silver-tongued little gremlin who could charm his way into anything. Anything.

    Or: Between gadgets and grudges, Bruce learns that some battles aren’t meant to be won.

    Summary

    It starts with a candy bomb and ends with a bullet.

     

    Jason didn’t mean to shoot at Damian. The gun was supposed to be empty.

     

    Now Bruce is bleeding authority, Dick’s grounded, Tim’s hiding, and Damian’s banned from space.

     

    Also, the Batcomputer is dead.

     

    (But seriously—who loaded that gun?)

    Summary

    “That’s not Jason, Alfred.”

    “Didn’t you run a DNA test?”

    “It doesn’t matter if he has Jason’s body,  That’s not Jason.”

    Denial was the easiest path.

    Alfred just hadn’t expected *Bruce* to take it.

    “Maybe he thinks the same thing about you.”

    Cruel, perhaps.

    And the look Bruce gave him would haunt Alfred for the rest of his life.

    Aka Jason, before and after

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne never imagined a day when he’d be considered a supervillain in his own home.
    But then again, he never imagined raising four vigilantes with strong opinions on which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle they’d be.

    What begins as a late-night cartoon turns into a full-blown identity crisis, sibling chaos, and a devastating revelation:
    Bruce is definitely not Leonardo.
    And he’s definitely not invited.

    Summary

    “It was not a request. It was an order. Call him.”
    Not for the first time, Alfred noticed how much the boy resembled his father—not in features, but in that piercing gaze.
    “You are a servant here. Act like one.”

    But Alfred knows exactly where he stands in this family—and it isn’t as a servant.
