    Summary

    "Why did my parents leave me to you?" Bruce asks, with enough childlike genuinity and confusion that Alfred can't even be offended by the slightly backhanded accusation.

    In a way, he can agree with the boy's disbelief. Why had Thomas and Martha Wayne left their darling son to a man who they barely knew in any emotional capacity? Serving them lunch and organising their linen closet is hardly a reason to write him into their wills.

    Staring down at Bruce, the butler desperately tries to work out how to explain to an eight year old that his parents might have been insane.

    But maybe, the insane one is him.

    (Alfred Pennyworth's life from butler to friend to father.)

    Summary

    His bare feet were covered in cold, damp sand, and he could barely feel them.

    Well, he could feel them, but they didn’t seem to be connected to his body.

    Or maybe it was him that wasn’t connected to his body.

    (or: poor Dick Grayson needs some love and a chance to catch his breath.)

    It wouldn’t be the story of the prodigal returning, would it, if there wasn’t a seriously pissed-off older brother making his objections known?

    Summary

    That's the thing. Dick looked right at the kid, broken hand and all, and nearly let him in. He nearly let him train.

    Because after all these years, he didn't process anything wrong with the image before him.

    (Dick, Bruce, and the implications of raising a partner instead of a child.)

    Summary

    "What do you want?" Jason nearly jumped out of his skin. He was so caught up, he didn't notice Dick entering the open window.

    "A guy can't check on his brother?" Jason tried to joke, and Dick furrowed his brow.

    "Not you," he said, not angry, just despondent. "And not on me."

    or

    Jason hadn’t seen Dick since Bruce had come back from his “death”. What he found was more eye-opening than he wanted it to be.
