    Summary

    When the Batfam fights Darkseid, Bruce is hit with his beams. He vaporises on the spot. Damian, who shouldn't even be there, freaks out and runs into the field. Tim protects him from the worst but he, too, gets hit by a stray beam. He falls into a coma. The Batfam refuses to be lead by Dick, and everyone except Steph and Alfred leave.
    When Damian wakes up, he's four instead of ten.
    Tim goes to find Bruce, but in this one he takes a lot longer. When they all come back, Damian is ten.
    Cue confusion of everyone, because what do you mean he was ten when you all left, he only had his tenth birthday last month!
    And Dick is his dad now. Shoo. Go away grandpa Bruce. Finders keepers.

    Fic is fully written, Upload every Sunday and Wednesday.

    Summary

    Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.

    She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.

    “Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.

    “You long to go back.”

    “Yes.”

    “For a different outcome.”

    Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”

    “I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”

     

    Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

    Summary

    Dick sags against the kitchen counter, spent and numb. He has no fight left in him. He’ll never be responsible for Tim and Jason being thrown in that system, separated and alone, starving, and… he flashes to what he's heard happens to boys alone in the system. That will never happen to Tim or Jason. He’s damn sure about that.

    And if Dick has to take a few hits to keep them safe, so be it. He can do that. Easily. Happily.

     

    Or, AU where Bruce Wayne isn't there when John & Mary Grayson plummet to their deaths. With no Bruce Wayne to take him in and the circus disbanded, Dick Grayson is thrown into the brutal reality of Gotham City's foster care system.

    Summary

    “You know, my child, that the orphanage cannot continue to support you once you become an adult.” The abbess sighs. “There is one path that is always open to you. You may choose a holy vocation, and take orders. The Sisters of Perpetual Grace will accept you as a postulant if you choose.”

    Dick had known to expect this. “Thank you, Reverend Mother,” Dick says respectfully, “but I cannot follow that path.”

    The Mother Superior nods. He looks unsurprised. “Then perhaps,” he says, “you would be interested to hear of another opportunity.” From the papers on his desk, the abbess removes a single sheet. “Are you familiar with Captain Wayne?”


    Dick accepts a position as governess to eight war-orphans, adopted by millionaire and WW1 flying ace Captain Bruce Wayne. The rest is inevitable.
