Summary
Damian didn’t need an older brother. Tough luck, Bruce thought he didn’t need a Robin either. Look where that got him.
Or Tim doesn’t care what Damian says. He has always wanted a baby brother to love and care for and Damian fits the bill. So what if he’s a little stabby stabby? That just gives him character.

Summary
Dick comes around to stand fully in front of him, keeping a steadying hand on Tim’s arm. “Just because you know you’re safe intellectually doesn’t mean you always feel safe,” he says softly. “It’s okay if you don’t feel safe.”
“But it’s not okay!” Tim bursts out. “Because if I don’t feel safe, then how is Jason supposed to feel safe? He shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable just because my brain is screwed up!”
There’s a faint sound by the door, barely more than an intake of breath, and his eyes snap to the no-longer empty doorway.

Summary
Even without context, as always Dick is enthralling in his storytelling. “What’s happening?” Tim asks, fascinated to know what’s got Dick so animated this time.
It’s the smallest of expressions.
Dick blinks at him, like for a moment, he forgot Tim was there.
Then he’s twisting in his chair to face him, eyes bright with the promise of a new audience. “Okay, so - remember how I told you about my new manager at the studio? Well get this - he made this new rule that audience members aren’t allowed to wear hats when they come to see the kids’ recitals. It’s part of the ‘audience dress code’, a thing which one hundred percent he just made up himself - ”
Tim watches Dick attentively. He laughs at all the right points. He even lets out a small gasp when he knows it’s expected.
And it’s good. It’s a good story, and Dick is so happy to tell it.
***
The frustrating thing when he gets like this is that it’s never triggered by anything real.

Summary
It was a lie they did–pretending that everything was still the same. It would never be the same for Ralph.
Not after the island. Not after everything.
He shook the overwhelming but looming thought off, biting his lip irritably.
Ralph leaped out of the car with a swoosh, not waiting for his dad’s sigh. He gripped the straps of his backpack and stared at the board in front of him.
Ralph touched the shell necklace around his throat and felt his hands tighten around the beads. His nails were chewed, a nervous habit that spontaneously came back over the summer.
Welcome to Gotham Middle School, it read.
Ralph gets rescued from the island and ends up going to Gotham Middle School. He's supposed to be fine. He got out, right?
(He just couldn't stop thinking of the island long after he escaped it. But for him, Bernard and Tim are going to be there for Ralph.)

Summary
"I'm your father," he replies gently.
"F-ather," Damian repeats clumsily. He knows what the word means, but he can't associate it with an experience. Now that he thinks about it, he has zero experiences to draw from. His mind is an empty void. He does not know who he is, aside from his name, and he does not know what he is supposed to do.
"That's right," his father hums in agreement. "I'm your father, you're my son, and now you're home."

Summary
A lot of people tell Tim that he looks just like his mother.
They share the same eye color and shape, often cold and calculating. The same sharp smiles and ghostly pale skin, and the same, lean body frames that could almost be described as delicate.
One last thing they have in common is an orange pill bottle.
The only difference is the name.
(Or how parents pass things on to their children.)

Who is Asano Gakushuu? (underneath the facade) by Sweetmuffins
Fandoms: Assassination Classroom
15 Sep 2022
Tags
Summary
Asano Gakushuu looks perfectly normal from the outside. He has good grades, charisma, and socializes with his peers.
But nothing is as easy as it seems. There is always a something lurking underneath the surface. (They wouldn't know how close until it's too late. Drowning for years puts things into a different perspective.)
The end will always be inevitable; Gakushuu thinks that it was always meant to end the same way.
(Completed first part in the series)
