Summary
Every time death had been evaded by the members of the Wayne family, and not fake deaths, real deaths were the heart stops and maybe the world stops too if just for a second, the same part of them stays dead. Their hair, throughout every death and ultimate resurrection in the family, lost its pigment and turned completely white.
Dick Grayson was no exception

Summary
“The pollen only causes pain?” Damian asks suddenly, interrupting their banal bickering. “Nothing else?
Grayson nods. “And all that’s required for the antidote is some intense cuddling while the body works it out of its system.”
“For how long?”
“About twelve hours I think.”
“Maybe we should’ve let the brat get a dose of it,” Todd says, picking thorns out of his leather jacket. “He would’ve hated it.”
He says it in a lazy way, like a joke, but Damian’s heart still skips a beat.
Damian is glad that he asked before admitting to having breathed in a lungful of this cuddle pollen. Pain is a small price to pay for not having to do something as childish and demeaning as cuddling with someone for twelve hours. Pain is nothing to Damian. He’s been friends with pain his whole life. Grandfather and Mother made sure of that. His pain tolerance far exceeds the average human and even if he has grown weak and soft these last three years, he’s sure he can easily endure this. It will probably even be good for him.

Summary
You didn’t expect me to be someone you cared about. Damian finishes the thought for him, teeth gritting behind his closed lips. His skin is prickling with the pressure of being seen, recognized. It’s not what he wanted. It’s not what he asked for. And yet—when Grayson’s hand brushes his elbow again, steadying him gently as they walk down the fire escape, Damian doesn’t pull away. His instincts are screaming at him to shake the touch off. That’s just sympathy. Just pity.
It doesn’t mean anything.
He is just a civilian, Damian reminds himself harshly, over and over like a mantra. He does not matter. His affection does not matter. But the words lose their sharpness the longer Grayson looks at him like that—like Damian is someone, not something broken or dangerous. Not just another shadow in the night.
Or,
Damian al Ghul is sent to Gotham with a mission: earn the right to stand beside the Batman. He will not grovel for a place at his father's side like some desperate orphan—he will prove he belongs there. But, Officer Grayson refuses to let the wounded boy he keeps running into disappear into the dark.

Summary
“You were made for greater things,” Mother says gently.
“The greatest thing I was made for was to make my own choices,” he hisses, refusing to let Mother control him. “This is what I choose day in and day out. I neither seek nor need your approval. I moved on from you long ago.”
Or, you can take the boy out of the assassin’s household, but you can’t separate the fucked up kid from the assassin. Especially one raised as an object, a thing to be owned, a vessel for his Grandfather’s mad plans.
Damian, going from an object to be owned to a person who is loved.

Summary
There was never one particular moment that Damian registered that he was losing consciousness.
Everything simply flashed from one thing to the next, even though some part of him understood that time had been passing in between. He had been sitting upright, rolling his eyes at something someone had said, then he was on the ground being pinned by some unknowable weight. All at once the weight was gone again, replaced instead by something not only lighter, but much warmer too.
A blanket?
No, a jacket.
