Summary
"Fate must have a strange sense of humor putting the four of them under the same roof. Then again, it's Gotham. The city isn't exactly known for its sense of humor."
AU where Dick is 12, Jason is 11, Tim is 10, and Damian is 8(?) and instead of being taken in by Bruce, the four of them end up together in a foster home run by a very neglectful parent. But they have each other so life isn't so bad. As long as they keep their heads down, get enough food, and not get caught in their various "activities", the four should be fine.
So maybe they should learn to stop running into the Dark Knight of Gotham.

Summary
So.
Bruce had saved the Birds (Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian) from Joker. Which was good. But because of Joker, they were going to be separated. Which was bad. So he decided to take them in (temporarily, of course) until a proper home could be found for all of them, together. Which was good. But now Bruce has to take care of four children, of which he really has no experience with. At all. Which is... not bad, but not good either.
Oh, and Bruce has to make sure that the three kids who don't know he is Batman stay unaware of that little fact.
No pressure.

Summary
Clark loved Metropolis, his job, and his family. Not necessarily in that order. And while he was Superman, he did his best to keep his family as much in his regular day-to-day life.
Too bad someone else decided that Superman's six-year-old sons needed a less-than-normal day.
Too bad for them that Clark is friends with the World's Greatest Detective.
(Prequel to The Birds: Hatching Family, but it is not necessary to read together. Can be read separately, or not at all.)

Summary
Bruce wasn't sure what fostering four kids would entail. He knew it would involve the press. It would involve paperwork. It would involve some changes to his schedule. It would involve a lot of disapproving stares from Alfred.
He hoped it would mean that the Birds would be safe. He hoped that they would stay out of trouble. He hoped that they wouldn't have to worry about about any of them running off any more.
He definitely hadn't expected Clark's insistence he go to therapy.
And he most certainly had not expected his eldest ward to act so... odd.

Summary
Jason just wanted to watch his brother's back on patrol. Sure, it wasn't what he had originally planned-- but if Dick/Nightwing was going to go out and punch criminals with Batman, then he wanted to help (not that he didn't trust Bruce it's just... Jason worried).
That was the plan. Just to shadow the two. And it was going well! It really, really was.
Jason just had ruin it.
