Summary
Bullying?
Damian scoffed at the word. He wasn't being bullied.
What a quaint idea. It conjured up visions of being smacked around or shoved into toilets. Of being forced to ingest alcohol or some other mind-altering drug. Of having his locker defaced with filthy insults or stuffed with trash. Which wasn’t what was happening to him at all.

Damian Wayne's Complete and Absolute Guide to Starting Over by Anonymous
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
18 Aug 2025

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.
[A guide with a... questionable success rate]

Summary
"March eighteenth.
March eighteenth at eleven: twenty-eight am, the people of Gotham disappeared.
Damian was in the middle of class when the city had gone silent. Something was wrong, the world didn’t go quiet for Damian Wayne, that’s just not in the cards for him."

Summary
A dreadful cold settles in. He doesn’t notice until after he kicks his shoes off. He’d been too consumed upon other things. Too… worried. It’d been a month since… whatever this was. A missing family. A missing Gotham. It was unsettling at first. Damian had never heard a city so quiet. A night without gunshots. No screams, tearful cries, or hysterical laughter. No quips in his ears. Streets without broken glass, burning skids from car chases, or an invasion of some kind.
Last month, it’d been plants. Poison Ivy’s touch. This month? Nothing. Emptiness.

Summary
Bianca and Nico di Angelo have been running from the law for months, until they reach the most crime ridden city in America; Gotham. With the police focused on other crimes happening, they could finally live in peace.
However, there is always an “until.”
Originally this was going to be a oneshot but I wanted to expand on the idea more. I hope you enjoy!
If there is anything that I deem trigger worthy it will be in the tags or/and at the beginning of the chapter.

Summary
Nico di Angelo is a very unlucky demigod. This bar is extremely high, seeing as all demigods have no luck whatsoever. However, when the Son of Hades wound up in Gotham of all places, he was (understandably) pissed off.
Nico walked, his instinct alone pulling him through the winding alleys of the crime-filled metropolis. It did not surprise him when he ended up at the Gotham Cemetery. He looked for a mausoleum to stay in for the night, one well made so that it would hold if the weather picked up. Eventually, Nico found the jackpot. A well maintained, simple, unlocked mausoleum. One labeled Wayne.
*****
A.K.A. Nico di Angelo x Batfam because it’s a hyperfixation. It’ll be fairly dark; I plan on exploring the mental and emotional state of these characters, and have genuine villains. There WILL be plot. This was written for me. Read if you’d like.
**You need to be familiar with both fandoms to fully understand this fic**
(But you can still enjoy it without that knowledge, just not as fully)

Summary
Excerpt from chapter 2:
"I never did get your name," Bruce said suddenly. That felt like a red flag, but Hades hadn't warned him against this mortal. If anything happened, he still had his dagger on him and he could probably manage to shadow travel far enough away if he had to. For now, he would just wait to see what was going to happen.
" Nico, Nico Di Angelo."

Summary
Damian had always known his past would catch up with him sooner or later.
He was an ex-assassin with blood and countless other sins on his ledger. Regardless of his good intentions now, that kind of past doesn’t just go away just because he’s working to redeem himself.
That being said…he really hadn’t thought this would happen.
Damian thought as he stared at the crime scene photos his father had pulled up on the batcave computer for review. Of which there were thankfully few but still plenty for Damian to realize just why exactly he recognized the name of the gruesomely bloody man on the screen and why the details of this case had all seemed annoyingly familiar.
I definitely killed this man.
Or-
Damian is investigating a murder when he realizes the culprit to be himself. His family also individually realizes this and exercises exactly 0 communication skills. Chaos ensues

Summary
The We Are Robins movement was a direct response to Batman's apparent death, an army of teenagers in the city, using the guise of Robin. Jason has mixed feelings about this. On one hand, he admires the youth of the city for stepping up in a time of absence, something Jason before his death would have loved. However, as someone who died wearing a domino mask and wearing that R on his suit, he hates the idea of these kids dying, because Bruce is on vacation.
Or
How Jason becomes an older brother to Duke by saving him, and Duke breaking into his house.

Summary
After dying in the line of duty, Tim Drake wakes up in the past—thirteen years old, alive, and back in his childhood bedroom. Armed with the knowledge of everything to come, Tim chooses not to reveal himself to Bruce or the Batfamily. Instead, he disappears into the shadows of Gotham, becoming the nameless vigilante known only as Red. He works behind the scenes, subtly reshaping key events to give everyone a better future: saving Jason from death, bringing Cass home earlier, and protecting the Batfamily from the worst of what’s to come.
But time has a way of preserving tragedy.
When Duke Thomas loses his parents in a violent home invasion—different from the original timeline but just as devastating—Tim makes a drastic decision. At eighteen, he adopts Duke, becoming the guardian he wishes someone had been for him. Now legally responsible for a grieving teenager who barely speaks to him, and under public scrutiny for the shocking adoption, Tim must navigate media storms, Bats' suspicions, and the burden of rewriting the future—all without revealing who he really is.
He’s walked through Gotham’s shadows as a ghost long enough. But how long can a ghost keep his secrets before someone starts chasing them down?

Summary
“We do not hurt family.” Todd all but snarled the words, his eyes blazing. Despite that fury and the tight hold he had on Damian’s forearms, his grip was carefully controlled, not hurting yet but a firm reminder that he could. “This isn't the League, and you'd better get that through your skull fast.”
“He is not my family,” Damian spat back.
(Or: Damian’s arrival in their lives is rocky, but things play out differently with Jason already reintegrated into the family - and very protective of Tim.)

Summary
There’s an itch beneath his skin, no doubt an effect from Isley’s imbecilic cuddle pollen. He’s read the reports on it—skimmed them, really. A non-lethal, unique irritant from Poison Ivy’s plants, created to induce feelings of loneliness. There is no viable cure for it other than physical contact with another person. It’s appalling. It’s preposterous.
“Don’t touch me!” Damian snarls, and Grayson draws his hand back at his harsh tone. “I don’t need your help to deal with some stupid pollen! I’ve had worse!”
Because cuddle pollen is the gift that just keeps on giving.

Summary
Talia hummed, just shy of disappointed, "Distractions get you killed, I know you know that. I know you know better."
Damian’s cheeks burned with shame, but he refused to let his embarrassment show. "أجل يا أمي. May I ask a question, please?”
“Go on then.”
“Why are you burning your hair?”
OR
Damian doesn't know what a hair straightener is, and both Talia and Damian have curly hair because I said so. -

Summary
“Robin? You good?” Jason asked.
Oh, he definitely knew. Damian stiffened. “Fine.”
Jason didn’t let the faceless helmet stop him from giving a fierce side-eye.“No injuries? Minor scrapes?”
Now Damian was lying through his teeth. “Not one.”
The next thing Damian knew, he was being scooped into Jason’s arms.
Or: 5 times Damian suffered the weight of his own touch starvation (in increasingly desperate circumstances) +1 time he had the courage to ask.
