06 Jun 2026
Summary
A series where Jason never dies, but the Waynes’ weird neighbor kid gets strung along for the ride all the same.
(Alternatively: that one series where Tim Drake gradually develops a file at Gotham General as thick as a phonebook because he's quite possibly the Unluckiest Boy in the World.)
Anthology containing:
5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home by motleyfam
Tim is good at galas.
No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.
---
Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers—most of which are unplanned.
Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.
Gala-Bye by motleyfam
Jason Todd hates galas.
Bruce Wayne loves his ridiculous son.
Mess of Me by motleyfam
Jack takes him trick-or-treating.
Tim is dressed in a simple black bodysuit with a white skeleton printed on top. He’d wanted to go as a stormtrooper—it’s all he’s been talking about at school for weeks, ever since he first saw the films—but his parents didn’t get the chance to pick up a costume until late that afternoon, and the options at Halloween City at four p.m. on October 31st are a bit sparse.
(It was this or a gigantic carrot, and even at seven years old, Tim has some dignity to maintain.)
---
Poor Timmy isn't having the best of Halloweens.
Shoot from the Hip by motleyfam
Objectively, this time isn’t even that bad. The bullet really only grazed his side. The mark it left is long and gnarly-looking, and he’s sure it’s going to bruise like a bitch tomorrow, but the actual damage to his flesh is pretty superficial. A saline wash, a quick row of stitches, a sterile dressing, and a couple painkillers, and he should be good to go.
…Which is why Dick neglects to mention this extremely minor injury during his usual post-patrol check-in with Agent A.
By Necessity by motleyfam
An alternative ending to chapter 4 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.
(AKA, the part where there’s an ice storm and a massive tree limb takes out the Drakes’ living room window.)
Kansaws by motleyfam
Tim blinks.
Batman has a buddy with a chainsaw??
(A short drabble expanding on Chapter 4 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home)
Man of the House by motleyfam
Yet another alternative ending to chapter 4 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.
(AKA, the part where there’s an ice storm and a massive tree limb takes out the Drakes’ living room window.)
Is All Anger Sin? by motleyfam
Now, Jason likes Tim, don’t get him wrong, but that kid’s got the self-preservation instincts of a wet paper towel. And not even the premium paper towels Alfred buys at Costco—that cheap shit you get at the Dollar Tree. The kid’s basically allergic to asking for help, and it’s fucking sad, okay?
Case in point, the fact that he’s currently bleeding all over the damn floor and still insisting that they don’t bother Bruce.
Well fuck that shit.
---
An added scene expanding on chapter 5 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.Reverse Psychology by motleyfam
Jason leans back, crossing his arms over his chest. “Well, what if we don’t want you to clean up?”
Tim just blinks at him.
(An alternative ending to one of the scenes in chapter 5 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.)
First Watch by motleyfam
“I have a pretty bad headache, so I think I just want to go to bed.”
Like any good excuse, Tim’s claim is simple, succinct, and rooted in a half-truth; his head does hurt, though he wouldn’t really call it ‘bad’—it’s hurting about the normal amount for someone who’s spent the last eight hours as a tightly coiled ball of anxiety. It should have worked perfectly.
Unfortunately for Tim, he just forgot one small fact: that the Waynes are literally the most dramatic people on the planet.
---
An added scene expanding on chapter 5 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.Where Blame is Due by batmoniker & motleyfam
Jason rides in the ambulance with Tim.
He doesn’t think he’s allowed to, technically, since he isn’t family and both of them are minors, but he’s not about to take no for an answer. Luckily, or perhaps frighteningly, the paramedics are too busy to argue with him. They’re barking orders back and forth to each other, rattling off vitals, running IV and oxygen lines, applying cooling blankets. Tim’s temperature is over 105 degrees and his blood pressure is dangerously low. They’re worried about seizures.
They’re also worried about organ failure.
–--
The immediate aftermath of Jason finding Tim in the final chapter of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home, told from three different points of view.
A Jumbo Miscalculation by justbeyondstars & motleyfam
Suddenly a new voice, gruffer, deeper, says, “What are you doing?” and Tim goes cold all over. That’s Bruce. That’s Bruce speaking a full sentence for the first time today and of course it’s when Tim is hurling his guts out in the bathroom and didn’t want him to know about it.
Shit.
“Picking the lock,” Jason says, like it’s obvious. “Didn’t think you’d appreciate me breaking the door down. I can, if you want. I am absolutely fine with that option actually.”
–--
Bruce is in a bad mood after a case doesn’t go entirely to plan, and Tim is determined not to do anything to make it worse.
(Unfortunately, his shrimp allergy didn’t get that memo.)DANton-ten-six by motleyfam
Ten weeks into Tim’s new foster placement with the Waynes, he wakes up feeling kind of lousy.
His stomach started hurting sometime after dinner the night before, which he initially chalked up to the heaviness of Alfred’s chicken fettuccine; that man does not skimp on the heavy cream. It’s why he only ever makes it when Dick—the family’s resident lactose intolerant dumbass, as Jason so lovingly puts it—is confirmed to be staying in Bludhaven for the evening.
(Not that it ever works. Dick’s been known to sniff out leftovers from the fridge days later like a bloodhound, consequences to his delicate digestive system be damned.)
Anyway...
---
Or, in which Tim gets Sick™, but actually reaches out for help for once, and in return his new family comes in clutch.

Of Shadows and Sunbeams by Lou_Lou_Lemonade

07 Aug 2023
Summary
Damian doesn’t mean to throw Jonathan Kent publicly into an unsuspecting carnival game booth. He doesn’t mean for onlookers and passers-by to record the incident and post it all over social media and get #DamiWayneattacksfarmer trending. And he defintely does not mean to get sent to Smallville for the summer as punishment-- because Jonathan Kent is inusfferable. Absolutely intolerable.
(Trust me, they'll fall in love.)

Summary
Damian scowled. “Why are you laughing?” he demanded. “It’s a reasonable conclusion!”
This just made Dick double over in laughter again. He managed to get a hold of himself enough to place a hand on Damian’s shoulder. “You’re not homophobic.”
Damian’s scowl deepened. “Yes I am!”(Inspired by "Straight guy worries he's being homophobic to gay roommate, realizes he's fallen in love with him")

Summary
Six months ago, Robin died, and Batman and the Joker vanished from the streets. Tim Drake is smart; he knows Batman's other name. But he can't make Batman come back, so he makes himself into Robin without him. Alongside Oracle and the Birds of Prey, Tim does for Gotham what Batman won't.
But one night, Tim comes home from his patrol and finds someone completely unexpected in his house: the dead and buried second Robin. Maybe Jason Todd has come back to life, or maybe this is an imposter. Either way, he came to Tim first, and Tim is going to find out the truth.

Summary
“Dad, can I ask you question?” The fabric of his jeans is rough against his chin.
“Of course.”
“Do soulmates always love each other?”
Clark’s forehead wrinkles. “I think that people like to make it a fairy tale. It’s a wonderful idea that there is someone out there made for you, but I think that it’s a choice whether or not you end up loving that person.”
“Why do we have marks then?”
His dad looks out over their fields. His gaze distant. “I don’t know. I’ve heard the stories of the gods and goddesses taking pity on humans who wept at their loneliness. I’ve heard a human is only half a soul and the mark leads them to the other half. I’ve heard of fate branding humans to each other. Of souls being entwined and separated. There are many stories.” Clark looks down at his son. “But you are the only one that gets to decide what that mark means to you.”
Jon sinks his teeth into his lip. “What if I don’t know?”
“That’s okay, Jon. You may not know for awhile and that’s fine.”
Or
Jon has known Damian Wayne has been his soulmate since he's been ten. He's just never told him.

16 Mar 2022
Summary
Within Gotham, the Bats are a tight-knit group - family - that runs like clockwork.
Outside of Gotham, none of their teammates know they’re related.
This series explores the shenanigans that the Bats get up to, as well as how this distinction would affect canon.
(This is an AU where the Bats are secretly affiliated, but nobody knows that.)
((Marked as complete, but new stuff may crash land when bored))
Anthology containing:
Batman (Supposedly) Works Alone
Batman works alone - that is what the superhero community genuinely believes.
In fact, he was so overprotective of Robin that only the thugs and Rogues of Gotham are even suspicious of his existence.
When Dick Grayson sheds Robin and becomes Nightwing, Bruce has one last request for his old partner. One final protocol: Code Bat.
Rated T for two swear words, because Jason.
On the Clock
Dick was too pre-occupied with getting his friend medical attention to wonder why the Justice League did not seem to recognise them.
(Or; the obligatory time travel fic.)
Protect Our Own
There’s a note addressed to Tim - addressed to R; to Robin.
(Jason is between a rock and a hard place, but he knows how to play his cards right. Talia’s not learning anything, not on his watch.)
The Alley Bat
Jason ran away from Gotham and formed the Outlaws. He had fun, but it was not supposed to last. His teammates soon left for their families. He figured it was time he did the same.
Or: Jason Todd goes home.
Rated T because of Jason swearing, and Fear Toxin hallucinations in part three
Off-World Rescue
An alien king has essentially held Nightwing captive, on the grounds that he had no familial connections which tied him down to Earth.
Code Bat is activated, and Jason is about ready to throw secrecy out the window and punch the alien in its face.
Gotham Needs a Batman
Bruce Wayne is dead - Batman is dead.
Tim Drake believed otherwise.
In which Red Robin is born, a new Batman meets the Justice League, and Bruce returns home.
(In this AU, the superhero community doesn’t know that the Bats are all connected.)
Leave A Message
When Tim left Gotham and became Red Robin, he had to leave anything that could compromise his identity.
He left Cassie a voicemail that she never replied to - not until their friends returned from the dead.
Or, Tim’s team reunites after cheesy voicemail confessions
Play The Role
Luthor is scheming. Tim doesn't trust him.
He thinks that leading Nightwing and Red Robin to the same trap will make them suspicious of each other. He is incredibly wrong.
Why Hello There!
Tim answers a call from the Teen Titans in the presence of one Jason Todd and one Stephanie Brown.
He regrets his decision.
Or, slightly crack-ish fic of Steph and Jason messing with their boi Tim
Don’t Underestimate Us
The Bats have each established themselves as solo vigilantes, with no affiliation to Batman. Outside of Gotham, they’re strangers.
When their teammates start to act strange, and Batman is uncontactable, Code Bat is activated.
(Or: Bat-children, assemble!)
Red Birds Stick Together
Sometimes, even without Code Bat activating, the Bats cross paths in-between all their team missions.
Really, it’s a wonder that nobody knows they’re connected.
Meanwhile, Red Robin will have to explain to Superboy why he’s so comfortable around his almost-killer.
Snapshots of Gotham
Tim Drake had possibly the only photographic evidence of the Robins and Batgirls in existence, besides whatever footage Babs had saved to her database.
Tim agreed with Babs - it was about time he updated that collection.
I’m Alive, Brother
Nightwing’s secret identity is revealed by the Crime Syndicate. Code Bat ensured that the rest of the Bats were safe.
That did nothing to comfort Batman when he saw his son strapped to a bomb.
(Canon happens, but Batman reacts differently. A fix-it.)
Like a Painted Canvas
Damian has been revived.
In the wake of his resurrection, he reflects on his past... and leaves Gotham. There are things to be done - mistakes that Damian needs to atone for.
(This fic takes inspiration from Robin: Son of Batman, Year of Blood, but does not follow through with proper canon.)
Rated T for descriptions of murdered skeletons, I guess
What Comes After
With Damian’s return to Gotham comes returning to the legally alive.
He also gets a new brother, who doesn’t seem to realise that he has already been accepted into the family.
At the gala celebrating his return from the dead, Damian encounters a familiar face.
The New Titans
Bruce knew it was only a matter of time before his youngest son joined an official superhero team of his own.
He was just glad to watch it unfold.
(Featuring the Bats messing around during a superhero party, and Superman trying his best to parent)
Holidays Are For Family
Jason had been spending the past few years away from home during Thanksgiving, so that his teammates would not be alone.
Now that they each had found their own places at the table, Jason could return home. He ends up reassuring their newest addition to the family.
How Are You?
Code Bat can have varying levels of urgency, depending on how it is activated.
An emergency activation tended to mean that dire help was needed, and that their normal superhero teammates were not rescue options.
Jason, thankfully, remembered to use Code Bat when those boxes were ticked.
(Featuring Tim answering a call for Jason as his bratty younger brother.)
Seeking Warmth
Kon-El does not trust Canvas. Tim convinces him to give the kid a chance.
(Featuring a short banter between the bat-siblings, and Damian and Tim fluff)
Welcome to The Team
Lian Harper was done with the assassin life.
She figured she might as well bring her new friend along for the ride.
(This is all just characterisation. Enjoy!)
Invisible Helper
Duke was in the area, so naturally, Oracle called on his help on behalf of Black Lightning.
Jeff just wanted to do a recon.
The Little Things
Oneshots of the bat-siblings, and the little-big things that they keep close to heart.
(Or, an excuse to write person-centric oneshots, one per batkid)
Cherish The Present
It's Christmas. Everyone's home - nobody's severely injured, or missing, or dead. They were together, and that was what mattered.
I'll Teach You
Cass has finally moved back into Gotham.
She brings pieces of the culture she had experienced back home - if there is something she can give her family, it's what she has learnt.
(Featuring some Chinese phrases and some Chinese things. Enjoy!)
Out of the Shadows
The other superheroes were occupied with their own robot problems. Gotham was on its own.
It’s about time they show Gotham who’s been defending them.
Collecting the Hints
Roy isn’t stupid. He’s been hanging around all of them for years - did they really expect him to be that oblivious?
(Or, Roy stringing the Bats together.)
Stop to Look
The new year countdown was unfortunately not enough to deter the crime rates.
There was still time to take a break during patrol to watch the fireworks, though.
(Happy new year, here's to a better one!)
Old Enemy, New Friends
They were just supposed to have a relaxing afternoon catching up with each other. They were not supposed to be kidnapped and taken to an unknown location.
...who is that?
(Damian meets again with someone he would rather forget.)
It Takes Two
Damian can’t play Mario while he’s recovering. Tim can’t make his brother’s arm heal faster, but he can offer a hand.
Some Things Don't Change
Dick gets called to the watchtower through a vague message from Superman. He... is not prepared to find his mentor as a child.
(Featuring Wally and Bart visiting the Batcave, and Tim and Bruce fluff)
Seeing Connections
Lian is as sharp as her Dad, if not more so. Couple that with a few intentional slips, and Lian easily learnt the secret.
Magic Troubles and Confessions
The Amazonian sisters run into a magic-user, and two Bats are along for the ride.
(Featuring Irey and Jai learning about the Bats!)
Batgirls, New and Old
Stephanie decides to crash a Birds of Prey mission in her other costume. Dick says hi, too.
(Featuring Dick revealing his identity to the other Titans, and also his girlfriend)
Now You See Me
Duke has been helping the Outsiders on and off, without showing his face. This time, there's no time for invisible help.
(Featuring the two Harpers and Dinah snickering behind Ollie's back)
This Is Who We Are
The Bats have transitioned out of the shadows. They stick together. One unit; one family.
(Wardrobe changes, cuddles, Mario Odyssey, and more!)
Red is for Love
Cass remembers the vibrancy of Lunar New Year in Hong Kong. She remembers streets lined with bright red lanterns, crowded streets and the bustling of thousands as they gathered for reunion meals with family.
The New Year was definitely different in Gotham, but her family made the best of it for her.
(Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year, is celebrated based off the Chinese calendar, celebrating the start of the year and the coming of Spring.)
Life with Bats
Does knowing that their teammates have siblings who are also superheroes change anything? Well, yes and no.
Of Birds and Sirens
The first three Robins and the Gotham Sirens, and their interactions over the years.
(Each Siren watches as a Robin spreads their wings.)
Colour the Edges
The new Teen Titans go to a hair salon.
Damian blames his team.
Mishaps and Meetings
Damian Wayne - Canvas - meets Young Justice (post-season 1).
There is, surprisingly, more conversation than conflict.
Raise the Alarm
Nightwing comes to Titans tower. Within seconds, Tim knows something is wrong.
(There is an imposter among us.)
A Little Bird Told Me
The Bats nudging everyone towards better relationships, one conversation at a time.

16 Mar 2022
Summary
A collection of interconnected ficlets, one shots, and stories, all focused on the Bat Family. All are based on the comics only, but blend assorted canons.
Anthology containing:
The Fears of a Father
Bruce doesn't handle loss well. He thought he removed most of the concern for that by keeping most people away and fighting for justice every night. Then an eight-year-old boy entered his life, his home, and quicker than he could have ever imagined, his heart. Bruce slowly starts to learn how to manage the fears of a father.
Tooth Fairy
The average child stops believing in mythical figures such as the tooth fairy around the age of eight.
Bruce Wayne didn’t know this when he adopted eight-year-old Dick Grayson.
Daddy
The first time Dick called Bruce ‘Daddy’ occurred when the boy was mostly asleep and his new father was putting him to bed. He was never aware that he’d said it.
The second time Dick called Bruce ‘Daddy’ occurred when the boy was running a fever and his new father was caring for him. He was too ill to recall anything he’d said after he recovered.
The third time Dick called Bruce ‘Daddy’ is the first instance he was aware of.
Robin Redbreast in a Cage
A Robin Redbreast in a cage puts all Heaven in a Rage. -William Blake.
They might be a different Trinity, one that operates out of Earth (and sometimes space), but it is still unwise to mess with their Robin. An up and coming crime lord learns this the hard way.
Batdad Contingency Plan
When Bruce first decided to not only take Dick in, but allow the boy to be Robin, he knew he might need a contingency plan should his son ever be injured in such a way that questions arose. Not necessarily about them being secret vigilantes, but about how the child keeps getting injured or showing early signs of sleep deprivation. He fully intends to keep Dick safe, but no matter what happens, no one is taking his son from him.
Shovel Talk
When Dick comes out to Bruce as a teenager, Bruce doesn't expect it change anything. Then a boy arrives at the Manor looking for Dick and he realizes, it does.
The Hero Gotham Needs
Tim considers the new Robin as he watches him.
National Grandparents Day
Jason hadn’t even known there was a National Grandparents Day. He never had grandparents.
But now he did.
One who was by far the coolest person Jason had ever met (and yes, that was counting Batman and Superman).
Alfred was his grandfather.
Here There Be Unicorns
When one of Young Justices early missions goes wrong, Tim makes an unexpected discovery.
Or maybe more than one.
Laughter
Most people, including the vast majority of the Justice League, would say that Batman never laughs.
This wasn’t propaganda. They truly believed the man never laughed. Mainly because they never heard him laugh. Even most of the few who knew who his identity would attest that he never laughed. They’d heard Bruce Wayne laugh on television or a video online, but it was never real. The laughter was just part of his disguise.
There were those who knew better, of course.
No More Dead Kids
Robin was the first. The first sidekick. The first child hero.
The first kid to meet a violent end orchestrated by one of the adult killers they so often faced.
He should have been the last.
He wasn’t.
If the grown-up heroes weren't going to make sure there weren't any more dead kids, then Jason would.
Laundry Day
Alfred normally could afford to let his concentration shift away from his chores. As of late, however, he finds that one particular duty has taken significantly more concentration. That being laundry.
It was always so simple before. He could never mistake an article of his own clothing for something of Bruce’s. The same went for Bruce and Dick or Jason. Even when his eldest two grew large enough to possibly borrow Bruce’s casual wear items, neither likely would. They had very different tastes. Even if Tim liked something of one of his elder brothers’, he would never fit into them. The same went for Cassandra. Certainly, one would never confuse any of Bruce’s laundry for Tim or Cassandra’s.
Tim and Cassandra’s clothes, however, were another story.
Tim's Superhero T-Shirts
Three reasons why Tim wears so many superhero t-shirts.
Godfather Batman to the Rescue
Bruce receives a call from his godson, Jon, when the boy is in need of help. Naturally, Bruce takes care of it.
The Failsafe
(Or: Tim finally gets a hold of some Kryptonite and Jason learns that his little brother might actually look up to him)
Jason Todd, Stealthy Big Brother
Jason Todd doesn't do the big brother thing. Except that sometimes, he does. He just doesn't let anyone know. Unsurprisingly, Tim and Cassandra figure it out anyway.
Red Bat of the Family
Or: Jason and his siblings try to make it work despite the gun thing.
Batdad Rules
Bruce knows he asks a lot of his children. He knows how very strict he is with them. Some say his rules are too rigid, that he’s too dominant, too controlling. Most of the people who say these things don’t have children and they certainly don’t have children who are secretly vigilantes. If they did, they would understand.
His rules are in place for a good reason.
That's not to say that he doesn't let a certain rule slip every now and then.
The Batdad Partition
Bruce has a partitioned hard drive on his phone and the ‘hidden’ partition has the most hardcore security on it. No one is getting into that part without his permission. Some members of the Justice League or Bat Family have discovered this and they all have theories on what he keeps on it.
The only one who has ever actually cracked it is Tim. It wasn't what anyone guessed. Not that he'll ever tell.
The Timmy Text Flowchart
AKA Tim is naturally suspicious and terrible at flirting so his siblings devise a quick way to help him when he just doesn't understand why one of his co-workers is behaving 'oddly'.
Bruised Batkids
When Bruce first took in Dick and allowed him to be Robin, hiding and sometimes explaining injuries was a big concern. Eventually, a natural excuse presented itself. The same stood true for each of Bruce's other children.
A Batdad Father's Day
Bruce's children each have their own way of acknowledging the holiday (or in some cases, not).
The Stand-In
Sometimes Tim felt like Tim Drake was just a stand-in for Robin. A placeholder in the world until the Boy Wonder was called on again. An elaborate cover story that only existed to hide the truth.
While the Bat's Away
Everything had fallen apart after Bruce died.
That’s what if felt like to his children anyway.
Batman was gone and the family he left behind were doing their best, but they weren’t him. They didn’t have his skill at hiding the person behind the mask so completely.
They were hurting and it showed.
They fell apart. Then they pulled themselves (and each other) back together.
Sweet Apologies
When Dick told Damian he had to apologise to Tim, he didn't expect the apology to be conventional but he certainly didn't expect this.
Height Checks
Damian is catching up to Tim's height. He can't wait to be taller than the second-youngest Wayne child. Unfortunately, he's the only one who doesn't know that Tim has no problem being the smallest. After all, he always was before Damian came along.
Bat-Cow and Kit-Cow
Damian decides that Bat-Cow needs companionship after visiting the Kent family farm. He and Jon come up with a plan. They really need to learn that not everything is a secret mission.
Dex-Starr Finds a New Home
In which Tim Drake-Wayne finally gets the cat he's always wanted and Bruce Wayne finally spends some quality time with his boys.
Bat Family Projects
Bruce and his children start a group text chain, work on another family project, pick up some new hobbies, confront a few issues and make some good memories.
It seemed they weren’t going to run out of family projects for some time. Bruce was glad for that. He was even glad it meant receiving more off subject texts from his kids. When it came down to it, no matter how much extra work or time it might take, he would rather be part of his children’s lives than not.
Cassandra's Sleeping Habits
Cassandra has her own apartment. Bruce got it for her after it wasn’t safe for her to live at Barbara’s place anymore. What he didn’t know, was that Cassandra rarely ever uses the apartment.
Bat-Pizza's Grand Re-Opening!
Dick has lunch with Damian, teaches him about pizza parties and eggplant emoji, and tries to plant the seeds for a better relationship between Damian and Tim. Its a bit of work, being the eldest Wayne child, but Dick loves it.
One Step Forward
Wanting to improve their relationship, Bruce decides to invite Jason to dinner at the Manor. It doesn't go as smoothly as planned, but he thinks he's making progress anyway.
Or: Bruce finally stops using the eggplant emoji.
By Love or Fate
At a social gathering, Bruce meets a charming elderly woman and talks about his children. In doing so, he realizes how much his kids mean to him and how much they've changed him for the better.
Little does he know, they're about to save him again. And not in the usual way.
Peanut Butter Jelly Time
How each member of the Bat Family makes a PB&J.
Day of the Un-Dead
When the Wayne family is finally ready to bring Jason back from the dead legally, they decide to have a private celebration first. Nothing particularly noteworthy happens when compared to the sort of things the family usually does together, but its still one of the best nights of Bruce's life.
Another Batdad Father's Day
Bruce's children decide to do something a little different this year. It doesn't go exactly as planned, but it still becomes one of his favorite Father's Days.
Batfamily Scars
Moonlighting as a vigilante came with no small number of challenges. Explaining where your time and money went. Explaining injuries and absences for yourself and your children. Explaining how you came about adopting said children. Explaining other relationships, like how a born and raised Gothamite billionaire knew a Metropolis reporter originally from Kansas.
It also meant you gathered a fair number of scars that you had to explain occasionally.
Last Laugh, First Steps
Running a large portion of the Gotham underground as a benevolent crime lord was harder than Jason thought it would be, but still well within the range of what he could handle. All in all, it wasn’t that different from being the type of vigilante Bruce had trained him to be become. He was feeling like he was doing a decent job as part of the Bat Family these days. The Wayne family, he wasn't so sure about.
Until he receives an unexpected call from Dick while on patrol one night and the words he hears next change everything.
Tim's hurt...the Joker's involved. B and Little D are out of town. Cass is here with me and it’ll take us too long t-
“Where?”
His death. His anger. His father. His role as a brother, as a son, as a grandson. Jason decides its time to take it all on. If he's going to help his little brother recover, then he's going to have to heal himself as well.
A Dark Place
Conner stops by to see Tim after he's kidnapped by the Joker. Tim isn't in a good place but his best friend and his big brother are there to help. And, of course, there's Dex.
Nightmares
After what they've both suffered at the hands of the Joker, Jason and Tim tend to have nightmares featuring the Rogue. Fortunately, they both also have each other to help them cope with the horrific dreams. The nightmares might be bad, but the time they're awake more than makes up for them.
I, Dex-Starr
How Dex came to be Tim's cat, and how he handles his owner being hurt, from his perspective.
Better Late Than Never
The Bat Family finally gets around to reading the Harry Potter books (or in some cases not). While sharing this new interest, they end up touching on a subject long avoided and Bruce has to wonder if ‘late’ is truly much better than ‘never’.
The House Tournament
Dick decided that their family, and several friends, should take a Hogwarts House quiz after Alfred got all the kids to check out the Harry Potter books. They ended up with pretty decent house teams once it was all done. When they realized this, it was decided that an multi-house tournament was needed. In order to balance out the teams, they decided on a video game tournament.
In which the Waynes, the Kents, and a few other friends have a team video game tournament.
Homecoming
After being brought back from the dead physically and then legally, the night of Jason's homecoming ball is finally here. He just wants it over with. He's happy to be able to publicly use his name and acknowledge his family. Having to wear a tuxedo, talk to reporters, and deal with upper class busybodies, not so much.
For better or worse, Jason Todd-Wayne is officially back in Gotham.
The Wayne Family Petting Zoo
Sending his son to Lian's birthday party should have been simple. Bruce didn't know about the petting zoo, or duck mating habits. He didn't expect it to turn into a whole project that involved each of his children. He didn't expect it to trigger his youngest child's temper.
He also didn't expect his other children to know exactly how to handle it, but they did.
Bruce was never more proud than when he saw them helping each other. That was something that was happening more often as of late. If basically having a petting zoo on the grounds meant he saw even more of it, then Bruce supposed he could deal with a few more animals.
The Talk of Relationships Past
In which Bruce, Dick, Jason, and Tim end up discussing their failed relationships in order to figure out who is best suited talk to Damian about romance and dating after he demands his father set aside some time to have The Talk.
Bat Family R&D
In which Jason and Bruce realize that Tim has become the entire family's R&D department after he is incommunicado for only a couple of days.
Father-Son Camping Trip
When Batman met Superman, he was mistrustful. When Bruce Wayne met Clark Kent, he was suspicious. Between saving the world together, forming the Justice League, and helping each other as they raised several kids, they became friends.
As their children became friends and they started to spend more and more time together, being guests at each other’s houses, taking a pair of their kids somewhere together, and supporting each other when one of their children threw them a curve ball became regular occurrences. They were exposed to many of the same interests through their children. They were exposed to many of the same concerns.
Eventually this leads the Wayne family (at least, some of them) and the Kent family to go on a joint father-son camping trip.
Home Hunting
For all the different places Cassandra had lived, she’d never actually had to go apartment hunting before. She’d either crashed with a friend or family member, moved from one temporary dwelling to another, or her father or little brother set something up for her. So when she moved to Bludhaven, she didn’t exactly come with a long-term plan.
Fortunately, her big brother had her covered.
Roses
This story should read well on it's own, but it references a few other stories from this series:
'Dex-Starr Finds a New Home' (Wherein Dex becomes Tim's cat & gets his catio).
'Last Laugh, First Steps' (Wherein the Joker kidnaps Tim, Jason and Bruce have the fight mentioned here, and it's first suggested that Cassandra should move back to Blüdhaven).
'Home Hunting' (Wherein Dick helps Cassandra find her apartment in Blüdhaven).Cassandra breaking into Tim's apartment to take super long showers and eat all his Rice Krispies is from Robin #134.
Cassandra got the rose mentioned here in Batgirl #17 and kept it until she left it in Brenda's care in Batgirl #66.
The destruction of Blüdhaven mentioned here takes place during Infinite Crisis.Learning to Let Go
Stephanie Brown stops by Jason and Tim's place to ask a favor. They discover that sometimes, the people involved in a failed relationship move on easier than those around them. Blüdhaven gets a new crime fighting team and the eldest Wayne brothers get into a brief texting war that goes bad quick. There's also a shootout and some lessons learned. Considering how strange things can get in their world, it all actually goes really well.
Alfred's Latest Scrapbook
Bruce takes a peek at Alfred's latest scrapbook. Feelings ensue.
Kidnapping the Waynes
Someone wants to exploit Bruce Wayne. They decide to go after his children, hiring Rogues and criminals to do their dirty work. Fortunately, the Wayne family is much more capable than Bruce's enemies expect. Alone, they're impressive. Together, they're unstoppable.
The Trysting
The story of Tim Wayne's kidnapping during Kidnapping the Waynes.
Talk of Relationships Past and Future
Bruce finally gets around to talking to Damian about dating and romance, and especially, how to avoid the issue in balancing that with a secret identity that he and the boy's brothers have experienced. He decided to make it a family discussion, so everyone learns a few things, plus some old hurts and secrets come out. There's fighting, and comforting, and some joking around. It doesn't go the way Bruce expected, but all in all, he thinks he goes well.
Bat-Naps
Each of Bruce's children have been known to be able to nap just about anywhere.
Robin and Pup Pup
How Tim came to own a Robin plush and how Jason's Pup Pup plush got a friend.
The Wrath Returns
When there's a quiet breakout at Blackgate, an old enemy returns and Alfred gets a first-hand view of how Jason and Tim work as a team and under pressure. Watching them in action is both beautiful and terrifying and he is incredibly proud of the two boys. When Bruce returns in the middle of it all, he has to opportunity to offer some guidance. After all, Alfred was the adopted father of a genius vigilante long before Bruce was.
A Painful Q&A
After Bruce learned that Jason had revenge sex with one of his exes, he wanted to make sure said ex wasn't a threat to his son or anyone else's children. Since Jason wouldn't tell him who she was, Tim agreed to look into it for him.
Which is how the boy finds himself sitting face to face with Talia al Ghul as they have a discussion that brings up the most recent worst moments in each of their lives. He gets answers, but is left with some painful questions as well.
Flowers
Damian learns a little about flower language and lot about family.
Ficlets & Headcannons
A collection of Bat Family mini ficlets and headcannons that add to this universe I've built here but aren't really a full story in their own right.
Uncomfortable Situations
Based on a comment a friend of mine made on the nude scene in Batman: Damned. "I don't care that they showed Batman's genitals, I care that he showed his genitals in the cave, right where any of his kids could have walked in and seen him."
So here are five one-shots depicting what might have happened if any one of Bruce's children came into the cave on that morning and found their father just hanging out there naked.
Concern, discomfort, confusion, shame, and questions about masturbation ensue.
Happy Little Accidents
Bruce and Lois have a quiet, friendly moment at a gala. Memories of their children make them laugh and cry a little.
Tricks and Treats and Bats and Birds
While visiting their friends at the Kent family farm, Jason, Tim, and Damian end up making some unexpected plans for Halloween. A pie-off, pumpkin carving, figuring out costumes, trick or treating, and of course, patrolling Gotham are all on the agenda.
Nightwing and His Blüdhaven Bomben
Nightwing's Blüdhaven Bomben gain another member and a base of operations. Tim and Wally each visit, and everyone has a pretty good Halloween.
The Wayne Studio of Arts and Acrobatics
When Bruce bought a building in Blüdhaven for Dick and Cassandra to use as a base of operations for their crime fighting team, the family realized they needed an explanation for it. Fortunately, they came up with something pretty quick.
The Wayne Studio of Arts and Acrobatics.
Gothamite Spotlight
An interview with Bruce Wayne's children, as printed in the Gotham Gazette's new column: Gothamite Spotlight.
Topics include Bruce Wayne's parenting techniques and how they've changed from child to child; the names we choose, use, and live under; kidnappings; Wayne Enterprises; pets; Jason Todd-Wayne's 'death' and return to Gotham; Alfred Pennyworth, the unofficial grandfather; jobs; friendships and romances; living under public scrutiny; and the meaning of family.
AKA: A look into what the Gotham public sees, hears, and believes about the Wayne family and how the Waynes help shape their public images.
Talk Turkey
Jason and Damian get into a brief but heated argument when Jason brings up his favorite holiday -Thanksgiving- and its customary dish, which Damian takes issue with. Dick steps in when cannibalism comes up. Tim and Bruce have a separate but related argument when Tim decides Bruce needs to start respecting Damian's values. And everything gets settled one way or another.
Its the holidays. Its what brothers do.
Thankful
A sweet moment between brothers occurs when Jason comes home for Thanksgiving.
Holiday Shopping
Bruce agrees to go shopping on Black Friday with all his kids. Fun, guilt, bonding, frustration, and a holiday resolution ensue.
Vantage Point
Clark never used his powers to spy on his children. That didn’t mean he didn’t use his powers to check on them at times, but that wasn’t the same thing at all. Spying was seeing what they were doing for no reason other than he wanted to know or catch them doing something. Checking on them was because he’d heard, seen, or felt something that made him concerned there might be something going on with one of them that he needed to help with or address.
Conner was at the age (and of the personality type) that keeping an ear out when he had a girl over was just smart. Recently though, Clark had found himself nursing a concern that he wasn’t sure was warranted or not. He wasn’t sure what to make of some incidents involving Conner and Tim.
Holiday Tales
A collection of short stores that take place during the holiday season.
Advent
Bruce puts together an Advent Calendar for Damian. Thoughts on family and parenthood ensue.
Holiday Trappings
Jason has always been a man of action more than a man of words. He knows he's never been great at the traditional family stuff, so he decides to use the holidays to show his family and friends how much they mean to him.
Boxing Day (AKA: Alfred Pennyworth Appreciation Day)
Boxing Day is not typically observed in the United States. However, it has long been celebrated in Stately Wayne Manor, where one Alfred Pennyworth resides.
A Good Day for Damian Wayne
A day in the life of Damian Wayne that includes vaccines for Joker Venom and Fear Toxin (along with some side effects), training with his sister, lunch with his favorite brother, ice cream, bonding with his siblings while they teach him how to play games that don't involve winning or losing, and dinner with the family.
Bat Family Text Chain
A series of one shots showing some of the discussions from the Wayne family text chain.
Just Us Communicating
Series Summary: A one-shot series featuring communications over comms or texts from the current and former members of Young Justice.
Keeping Track
When Jason and Tim start working on a project to be able to keep each other safer, they end up learning something new about their eldest brother.
Elite Fairy Godmothers
Cassandra wasn’t normally excited about balls, especially ones that her brothers weren’t going to be attending. However, she was looking forward to a night with her father, even in such a setting. And she was happy to help a worthy cause, in however small a way.
Of course, her life being what it was, Cassandra marked the ball on her calendar and then ultimately forgot about it over the next two weeks, while she fought crime, trained their new teammates, worked at the Studio, practiced her dancing, and worked with Harper to turn her new hearse into a kick-ass vigilante vehicle. In fact, she forgot until it was really too late to be working out the details.
Twenty-two minutes later, she was in the secret base of the Blüdhaven Bomben, with her team fully prepared to finish getting her ball-ready in record time, like a group of elite fairy godmothers. Assuming fairy godmothers could beat up mobsters and solve crimes in their spare time as well as make a young woman ball-ready in less than two hours.
Boy Wonders
In both Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Penitentiary, the young vigilante known as Robin was something of a hot topic. The patients and inmates often traded notes on the Boy Wonder in an attempt to figure out just how many there had actually been to date. They tried to figure out what had happened to each one. They tried to guess which Robin had put each of them there at what time.
Playing Roles and Being Real
Tim, Jason, Damian, Conner, Bizarro, and Jon decide to play a game of Wizards & Warriors. It does not go as planned, but they end up having a good time anyway, even if an out of game detour results in one boy in tears, another with a mild injury, and a small fire in the den.
Where Children Come From
A nurse at the hospital observes Bruce Wayne as he waits for news about one of his children and answers a difficult question from a child waiting to meet his little brother.
“Do you have kids, mister? Where do they come from?”
Cookie Sales, Questions, and New Directions
Bruce sales some Brown Bat cookies alongside Tim and Lian Harper. This leads to some unexpected questions and some very concerning answers.
Bat Trolls
Dick, Jason, and Tim use fake online profiles to keep the Batman's urban legend status among civilians while also making him all the more terrifying to criminals.
After all, it was hard enough to sell someone on the idea of a vigilante dressed a bat running around Gotham for years without being caught on camera. Adding to that rumors of vampirism, ghosts, cyborgs, time-travel, and the like just make it even harder to believe. Unless the someone you were selling it to happened to be caught by the Batman one day. Then, it was hard to know what to believe.
World's Finest: Red Robin & Robin
In which Tim and Damian team up and have a few needed discussions, Dick gets some reassurance that he's loved, and Damian gets a pet alpaca (sort of).
Damian didn't know where it would go, this path they’d started upon. He knew he was likely to lose his temper or lash out at several points along the way.
He also knew he wanted to see where that road lead them.Mystic Blades and Little Brothers
Both can cut you and protect you. Jason is reminded of this the first time he summons the All-Blades in Tim's presence and has to explain what they are and how he uses them.
Little Brothers, Big Problems
Dick didn't think arranging for his little brothers to see a charity showing of Big Hero 6 together was going to lead to any turmoil or life altering decisions, but in hindsight, he really shouldn't be surprised.
Reflection
Tim had taken to avoiding mirrors for a while now.
He was aware that it was a very short term solution to a very permanent problem.
He didn’t know what else to do.
Alfred Pennyworth: The Man, The Myth, The Legend
Alfred Pennyworth first became a legend to Her Royal Majesty's Infantry Rangers and MI6 .
Then, more importantly to him, he became one to his grandchildren.
Through their stories, he became a legend to an entire generation of young heroes.
This caught the attention of Princess Diana and led to him becoming a legend to the Amazons of Themyscira and Bana-Mighdall.
Then, he became one to the very gods the Amazons worshiped.
One day, he may even learn of how far his legend goes himself.Profiles

“So, let me make sure that I'm getting all of this,” Tim said finally and Jon nodded, sitting on his hands to keep still. “You are soul bound to the guy who tried to kill you?” he nodded. “But he doesn't want to kill you any longer?” Jon shook his head. “He snuck into the manor and helped you with your Calculus homework?” He nodded again. “And he promised that he would come back?”

Bat Family Awkward Situations Anthology by Haunted_Frost
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman Beyond, DCU, Gotham (TV), Super Sons (Comics)
22 Oct 2020
Summary
Anthology containing:
Family and Dissociation from Awkward Situations
Jason's returned to Gotham to find things oddly different, but mostly the same. As he reacquaints himself with the Bats, and as they begin a new case or two, it might just turn out that the Red Hood belonged there all along. Reunions are uncomfortable, but sometimes they just might be worth it.
The Flying Graysons et al.
Dick Grayson is mourning losses, just like the rest of them, no matter how hard he tries to keep smiling.
They all notice. In an attempt to make Dick feel better when Haly's Circus returns to Gotham near the anniversary of his parents' deaths, the rest of the Robins form a plan: they will perform a routine at the circus for Dick, surprising him completely. This goes just about how you can expect.
Growing Pains
Time travel can cause even minor shifts, but maybe this was how things were supposed to happen. Bruce gets married, his kids grow up, and life moves on.
or: superheroes deserve a bit of happiness and domesticity. Give them a minute to realize it, and we'll have happily ever after in no time.

21 Dec 2019
Summary
A complete of stories related to the BatFam.
This includes the Batman comics, cartoons and even the movies, more so the recent animated ones like Batman vs. Robin, Son of Batman, and Batman: Bad Blood.Anthology containing:
A Little Dilemma
Tim suddenly finds himself the target of Damian's brotherly affections. And it freaks him out. Meanwhile, Dick is trying to get Duke to try on a new suit.
(EDITED)
Texts From 'A Little Dilemma'
The texts from the first story, 'A Little Dilemma', in the Craziness in the Wayne Manor series.
Mornings, Crop Tops and Memes
Bruce hates mornings, and sometimes he hates going to work. However, his family always makes it better. Even if crop tops, marshmallows and curse words are thrown into the mix.
Add Cameras, Minus Coffee
In which Tim is unusual without coffee, Jason gets him in trouble with Conner, and Damian proclaims he's Tim's favorite while getting back at Jason.
Lies or Don't You Dare!
When bored, the Bat Boys play that torturous game of Truth or Dare. It starts off okay until they expand it to the Team. Now... Chaos ensues.
(Like the title? Eh? Eh? I'm so lame... :(
Laundry & Dates
Waking up and finding that most of your clothes need a washing, it's gonna call for a Laundry Day! However, this is the Bat Boys. It's not going to be smooth.
Of What They Do
Headcanons and such of what I think the BatFam does based off my 'Craziness in the Wayne Manor' series. So not canon (and somewhat canon) with the actual DC universe(s). Just off my series! Fictional!
Sisters & Casseroles
Luke decides to invite Kaldur over after his sister is put into his care for Lucius and Tanya to have their date.
Pools Hold Water, Not Kids
Sleep deprived they are? Yes. Yet taking a trip to the store between hours of 10 at night to 1 in the morning? Yes. Buying the weirdest crap ever because they're sleep deprived and at the store? Yes. They're Waynes. It's what they do.
Supernatural Day!
The Bat Fam celebrates Supernatural, the show that has taught us apocalypses happen, salt works against evil and Impalas are definitely the coolest cars.
