Summary
Bruce narrows his eyes behind the cowl, “What have you done?”
Tim’s shoulders creep up towards his ears defensively, but he looks Bruce dead in the eye when he says, simply—“Hacked it.”
“You—“ Bruce splutters, shocked into speechlessness.
“I’m Robin,” Tim says, like that’s an explanation. He points at Bruce, “And you’re compromised. You can’t help Gotham if you're dead.”
~~~
The first anniversary of Jason’s death looms. Traps are set, and a case is blown wide open.
A ticking time-bomb forces Bruce to confront his guilt and grief before he loses everything else he holds dear.Part of a series, but functions as a stand-alone.

Summary
Jason swallows down the nausea and hopes Bruce doesn’t notice his hands shaking. “I don’t understand you,” he rasps, barely caring when his voice betrays him and cracks. “The horrible things these people have done—the lives they’ve ruined. How can you possibly be satisfied with just stopping them? They’ll either get released from prison or escape somehow to continue where they left off. I just…” Jason takes a shuddering breath.
I just can’t ever be that helpless again, I can never leave anyone to a fate like that ever again.
I won’t. I won’t.
…I can’t!

Summary
Picture this: You're Clark Kent, finishing a story while in Gotham. You hear Batman's young sidekick patrolling alone and decide to go introduce yourself to him, forgetting you're in civilian clothes. Batman's young sidekick bolts, and you chase after him to explain that everything is fine & you're just concerned for his safety.
OR: the one where, due to some misunderstandings, Dick runs for his life, Alfred is a BAMF operator, Robin publicly punches Superman, and Bruce rains the fury of a righteous & protective Batdad down onto Clark Kent's head.

Summary
A phone call in the middle of the night never meant anything good. A phone call in the middle of the night with the news of death was what had changed both of their lives forever.
“Alfred!” Bruce was shouting before Alfred could even get a greeting in, and the butler’s stomach plummeted at the panic in his voice. "I can't find him!"Or: Bruce can't find Jason. Alfred wishes he was more alarmed at the news.

Summary
It starts when Nightwing accidentally calls Batman dad.
Barry thinks it's perhaps the funniest thing to happen in the history of ever. Then, he starts to notice that The Dark Knight actually does—kinda sorta maybe—act like a dad to the Gotham vigilantes?
It only gets weirder from there.
OR
5 times the League saw the Gotham vigilantes treating Batman as their dad, and 1 time they (kind of) admitted it.
