Summary
“All hands on deck,” he says, sticking his hand into the middle of the table. Rosa adds her own without hesitation, twining their fingers together, something to anchor her while they wait, hardly breathing; the pile of hands will grow bigger with every passing year, but first, there is Mary’s hand, small and tentative, resting gently on top of their larger ones.
or the evolution of the all hands on deck ritual and the family it helped to build.

Summary
Darla’s the one who still holds their hands crossing the street and says I love you at the end of every conversation and brings Freddy a salad without a word when he takes one look at the pork chop on his plate and gags on the memory of the smell of burnt human flesh in Citizens Bank Park back in May. She’s their kid sister who might just be the nicest person on the planet and they all love her to death.
All this to say, if she wants to do family night, they’ll damn well do family night, and let her pick what they do to boot.
(or, the shazamily have a nice family bonding night for once.)

Summary
Learning to let people be nice to you is harder than it sounds.
Or, Billy's foster family is very weird in a lot of ways, including a tendency to just... spend time together, and a habit of being far more affectionate than any placement he's been stuck with so far. They keep acting like the word 'family' means more than the word 'foster' tacked in front of it, and by the time he decides he wants to belong here, he's worried it might be too late to try. Despite this, Billy tries.

Summary
"You must have a source," Duke said. "Tell us what it is."
"Okay, okay! I read about you guys. That's how I know that stuff."
"Read about us? Where?"
"Online," the goon stammered. "Have—have you ever heard of AO3?"
Investigating a mysterious uptick in criminal knowledge of the Bats, Duke discovers the source of their information: fanfiction from Gothamites on AO3. Recruiting seasoned fanfic author Tim Drake and world's best hate commenter Damian Wayne, the three youngest Bats set out to spread misinformation, cause chaos, and snag a high hits-to-kudos ratio along the way.

5 Times Duke Tried To Prove To Bruce He Wasn't The Responsible One, and 1 Time His Siblings Knew Better (& used it to their advantage)
Because Duke is relatively new, he hasn't opened up completely to the family. He tries to follow Bruce and Alfred's rules, but he doesn't always succeed (nor try to). It's during these times Bruce still manages to pin the blame on someone else. His siblings, of course, see this. And whatever are they supposed to think? Well, Duke's clearly doing it on purpose!
(This is really just me being salty about fanon characterization, and an attempt to cram as much Crazy-Totally-Not-Sane-Duke as I can into a single fic)

Summary
Duke had a strange family. Two of his siblings had been raised from birth to be assassins. One was born in a circus. One had been a crime lord for a time. Yet another was the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company by the age of seventeen. All of them dressed up in spandex every night to punch bad guys.
So when he was woken up by icy water being splashed in his face, tied to a chair in nothing but his boxers, he wasn't surprised. Now, that's not to say he wasn't worried. Duke was definitely worried. Especially since it was these two.
AKA Duke gets tied up and questioned by his siblings, all while drugged with Truth Serum!

Three days before his twelfth birthday, Eugene’s mom was released from prison.

Tags
Summary
Before they found the unicorns, Eugene looked out the window of the van and saw a guy get dropped out of the sky onto the asphalt.
He’d landed hard and stayed there, not even a groan or a roll or any writhing. Like when Bilbo Baggins lets go of the Ring in the foyer of Bag End. Just a fall, and then stillness.
(Billy had been so still.
Eugene never got close to his body, and after a while the smell made him sick, so he didn’t try. But he got a glimpse once, around Freddy’s heaving chest; Billy could have been sleeping, the way his eyes were closed, but he was too stiff and pale. The air around him was like concrete. He was not going to move again.)

Summary
"I'm sorry Duke, he's gone," Duke hears him say, his heartbeat loud in his ears, "Steady, son. You are safe now."
Duke blinks away the blurriness in his eyes, gazing up at Bruce helplessly. There are undoubtedly waves of tears leaving his eyes now, but Duke finds he can't stop himself, especially when Bruce squeezes his hand. There's a pin prickling sensation across his body, bubbling his blood beneath skin, but Bruce's hand is warm.
"I'm sorry," Duke whispers, devastated.
Bruce squeezes his hand, face pinched with worry and fading terror, "You're going to be alright."
(Duke gets hurt on patrol, Bruce responds.)
