    Summary

    When Dick is fourteen, Robin in gets shot. Bruce decides then and there that both him and Dick are retiring, effective immediately. This work is simply too dangerous.

    Over the years, his kids... disagree with that idea.

    Summary

    Gotham was literally cursed but no one believed Bruce. He took it upon himself to fix it and after decades of searching, that solution came to him in the form of a little blue vial. Bruce was to take the curse within himself to temper it into something manageable.

    He thinks the others would call him stupid and stop him if they knew about this, but (un)fortunately for Bruce, his family hasn't spoken to him for forever. There was no one here to stop him.

    He downed the liquid and woke up as his nine-year-old self.


    Ch3 Excerpt:

    “Mother, do you remember those funny clouds above people’s heads I told you about? Well, I’m doing something about them but the process is very lonely. Or not. I think it’s just me. I’m the problem. I can’t seem to get people to like me enough to stay. I know–-… I’m aware that it’s due to my own shortcomings but sometimes, it feels like even the worst monsters have people that love them and yet I have no one.”

    Bruce let out a humourless chuckle and rested his forehead on his knees.

    “I just wish there was someone that cared about me.”

    Summary

    "I kill so others don't have to," Bruce states firmly and clearly. This entire situation didn't seem like it could get any more bizarre, what with Bruce sitting in the dark and polishing guns, but somehow it just has, "While you are here you will not kill."

    Jason's throat is scratchy and dry with terror, but the insatiable feeling of being talked over and disregarded is a fresh wound. He can't back down from this if he tried, "I've killed. I still kill. Who the fuck do you think you are to stop me?"

    Bruce gently sets down his gun, and picks up the blade beside him with practised ease. Jason's blood runs cold when the man wearing his father's face says, "You will die by my hand if you try."

    (Jason meets a version of Bruce who has manifested his fears very differently.)

    Summary

    To save the world from utter destruction, a person's memory was required. Not their memories, but everyone else's memories of them. They would be fundamentally erased from existence. Like they were never even there at all.

    The moment Superman told them that, his face sunken and his eyes hollow, Damian knew it had to be him.

    Or:

    Damian Wayne is forgotten by the entire world. "Starting over" is more painful then he imagined.
