Summary
Talia raised her hand to his shoulders, her smile manic. “Meet your son,” her voice dripping with pride, the same way that Tim would talk about an invention of his, “Damian.”
Bruce’s stomach tied itself in knots, the whites of his domino masks turning to slits. Bruce almost wanted to reach forward to touch the boy to see if he was real; the only indicator would be the minute rise and fall of his small chest and the twin-daggers of his emerald eyes.
This was no child. This was a weapon. Perfectly sharpened.
“He is everything the League has ever hoped to create. He will listen to any command without hesitation. There is no threat he cannot kill, no task he will fail." Her eyes flicked to Bruce, the malice there unmistakable. "And if he does, well... there are contingencies in place. He is…the perfect soldier.”
Bruce fought back a roll of nausea.
_
Damian has been twisted, experimented on, and reshaped into a living weapon. But what remains of the child within, and can he reclaim his humanity?

Summary
The Bludhaven newspaper reported that there was a strange kid running around helping out the homeless, so that must mean Nightwing has a new sidekick right?
What they don't know is Nightwing's supposed sidekick was actually an Al Ghul traitor protecting a half-dead amnesiac Jason Todd.

Summary
NOTE: THIS FIC IS NOT ABANDONED. PLEASE STOP SAYING IT IS. It's on hiatus. Not abandoned. I'm just very slow sometimes and also this series has a tendency to bring up emotional issues for me that I need to take a break from on occasion. No story is abandoned unless the author says it is. People have lives, remember? Stuff happens. Chapter 24 and beyond is still in progress.
---
Would it really be a year in Tim's life if it didn't have at least one kidnapping, new sibling, spontaneous road trip, or world-ending threat? (Or, maybe, just to spice things up—how about all of the above?)
It's Damian's turn to join the Wayne family, through a wild set of circumstances that, really...is pretty normal for them at this point. Ra's schemes, Bruce worries, the kids cause loving chaos, and things somehow, as always, tend to work out in the end.

Summary
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)
