On Earth 27, Dick Grayson is dead. On Earth 32, Dick Grayson is missing.
Dick knows neither of this. But he knows something is wrong. Ever since he woke up from an injury, his family has been acting strange. Jason won’t stop hugging him, Damian avoids him at all costs, and Tim’s hair is definitely too long.
Or, in a universe where Dick dies, his brothers secretly kidnap another Dick Grayson into their world. But that Dick Grayson has siblings too, and they’re searching for him.

Summary
It makes some sense why Alpha Bruce Wayne would take in some help, living basically alone in that big Manor with his little kid. But why choose children? And why choose the three of them? Dick, Jason can kind of understand, since Dick is a beta and almost an adult and might be supposed to learn from Mr. Wayne's butler. Tim being a new omega... Unfortunately, Jason can understand far too well why Mr. Wayne might want Tim. But Jason? Jason presented alpha. He understands his days at Wayne Manor will only last as long as Mr. Wayne's patience does.
But then everything goes against what Jason understands.Bookmarked by desperad0s

Summary
Bruce realises it then with a sudden startle, all the anger and frustration that had been building up over the last couple days freezing under his skin, blood cold.
"You're trying to make me angry…" Bruce carefully says out loud, all the pieces of the puzzle finally coming together, watching the way Jason's shoulders tense at the shift in tone from angry to a calculative calmness, "On purpose?"
Jason's previous expression, one filled with twisted amusement at Bruce's apparent annoyance is immediately replaced with something tragic. His blue eyes grow wide and fearful, and Bruce watches in delayed understanding as the boy takes a fearful step back.
(Jason's change in behavior is cause for concern. Fortunately, Bruce is a pretty good detective — most of the time.)

Summary
During the Joker's latest attack, five boys went missing. Of them, only Tim has figured out how to survive under the Joker's twisted version of "care." As escape attempts pile up, Tim realizes that his freedom hinges on Batman and Robin coming to his rescue—but even they seem unable to find him with the Joker having gone underground.
Jason knows it’s only a matter of time before Bruce realizes the mistake he's made by taking him in. Labelled as "reckless" and "emotional," his newly-discovered birth mom might be his last chance at family.
These two converging roads were always destined to meet eventually.

Summary
You grow into the person who would’ve protected you as a child.
Alfred finds himself left with a little boy to care for. Not just any boy, but a Wayne, destined for greatness like his parents. He does his best to raise him, and it hurts his heart - really it does - but sometimes that means discipline.
Bruce knows he’s not good. Well aware that he deserved what Alfred gave him when he was a child. But now that he has children of his own, Bruce can’t fathom disciplining them like he was.That doesn’t mean Alfred was wrong to inflict those punishments on Bruce. Bruce deserved it. Just not his kids.
Never his kids.

"It’s a terrarium. Lex expected the showiness, it is the specialty of the Acquirers' guild that’s hosting this auction.
Settled in the center, laying on his side, eyes open, but glazed, is Superboy."
AKA: Lex finds Conner where he least expects. Calm is, perhaps, a word they left behind the moment they laid hands on his son.

Summary
“What the hell is that, Batman.” Kal’s still not moving but he does look back now. “Because if I didn’t know any better I would say that was me.”
“We have intel from a deserter at LexCorp that Luthor had gotten ahold of some of your DNA.” Bruce doesn’t know how to explain this without it … without it being terrible. “Through a fight, through his own strange methods, through kryptonite, who knows. He tried to clone it, but failed-”
Kal’s jaw tightens “Bizzaro.”
“This is a combination of your genes and a human donor, with some of J’onn’s DNA to hold it together.”
Bruce can trace the Martian's contribution with the barest hint of the way the clone’s eye is shaped. Just an impression, a barest hint that would never be connected if Bruce hadn’t seen the files for himself.
Kal bites in a terrible sound that emits from somewhere in his chest, a pitched keen that makes the hair on Bruce’s neck stand straight up. “Where is he?”
--
Sure, Kryptonians look human enough, but underneath all that flawless tanned human skin rests a creature that came from the stars.

Summary
“‘s the drugs. I did drugs,” Dick slurs, and then collapses to the ground.
Jason pulls up the collar of Dick’s uniform, exposing the familiar skin Jason can’t ever seem to run far enough from. Track marks, a blown vein, ecchymosis. Needles.
And just like that, everything comes back to a bathroom in Crime Alley. Jason has been here before, and he doesn’t ever want to do this again. He knows what this is. He fucking knows.
or Robin!Jason rescues Nightwing after Blockbuster’s murder, crashes the getaway car, and then has to keep them both alive as Dick overdoses on whatever-the-fuck those bad guys gave him. Given Jason’s history with drugs (and with Dick revealing things he wouldn’t willingly reveal about the Blockbuster incident), things go to shit pretty quickly.

Summary
Dick and Bruce are like this:
Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.Their story has always been radioactive.
A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

Summary
“You were supposed to help me,” Tim says. The accusation is more resigned than angry.
What did he think Bruce would do? Honestly? Adopt him on the spot?
“This is help,” Bruce says, worming a nail under Tim’s fingers, peeling them away one by one. He backs away from Tim, glancing between the officers, and leaves, ignoring the betrayal Tim is aiming at him.

AKA:
Tim's parents died on March 17th.
On May 3rd, Tim shows up on Bruce Wayne's doorstep begging for help.

He even thinks skipping your kid’s birthday three years in a row might not be normal.
He's just not old enough to do anything about it.

Summary
The view shifts when Batman stands up. From this angle, the brightness of the city lights makes it possible to distinguish the outlines. Jason’s eyes are closed, and his head lulls backward, as if he was asleep. But there are wet streaks on his cheeks and his lips open and close slightly, soundlessly. There must be another movement too; perhaps he squeezes Batman’s hand, or attempts at a kick, because Batman readjusts his grip and says: “Shh. We’re going home. We’re going home.” Everything twice.
To the side, something glints in the darkness; a familiar shape, all sharp.
Dick pauses.
He rewinds the recording.
dick is welcomed back in gotham by his not-quite-dead brother and his father's refusal to share the report of a night from weeks prior.
