    Summary

    Damian has saved dozens of stray animals throughout his years as Robin. He's been bitten, scratched, yowled at, and at one point even pissed on. Damian knows this humiliation is simply a fear response. These animals are wary. They're hurt and need proof that Damian will not harm them like so many humans had in the past. He is patient. He can wait out the period of distrust in order to find these animals better homes.

    When he starts summoning Danny for weekly visits, Damian never thought he'd be treating his brother like a stray. Yet, something is clearly weighing on Danny, and Damian is determined to figure it out.

    ~~~

    This takes place in between the 5th and 6th summonings in "The Devil's After Both of Us". I'd definitely recommend reading that for context.

    Summary

    Bruce would not call himself the best father in the world.

    Hell, some days he wouldn't even call himself a GOOD father. He knew he hadn't been the best influence for his kids, and the fact that he enabled their participation in something as dangerous as Vigilantism definitely didn't win him points. He'd put his work above his children a few times too many, so focused on getting answers. He needed to keep everyone safe, be the symbol Gotham deserved. At the end of the day, his children suffered for it.

    Still, Bruce figured he'd gotten better at this whole "parenting" thing. He hadn't had any major fuck ups in quite a few years. Adding Duke to the fold had gone smoothly--even Damian hadn't put up too much of a fuss at his newest brother. His children and him generally had an amicable relationship, and they all seemed happy with their lives. Bruce had done some good.

    Of course his good streak couldn't last.

    ~~~

    This probably won't make a ton of sense if you haven't read "The Devil's After Both of Us" first, so I recommend reading that before reading this one-shot.

    Summary

    Growing up, Danny's parents had drilled it into him and Jazz the dangers of summoning rituals. Unlike something like a natural portal or the one they built in the basement, a summoning ritual brought ghosts to you without any clear way to send them back home.

    After Danny's accident, he hadn't thought he needed to worry about summoning rituals anymore. After all, he kind of had his hands full with the whole "Ghosts are real and attacking him and also he's half-ghost now" thing.

    However, once Danny took up the crown of Ghost King, he found himself having to deal with summoning rituals from the other side. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't constantly confronted with ghosts of a past he had shoved deep down in his heart.

    AKA 5 times Danny runs away from Damian after being summoned to Gotham, and the 1 time he stays.

    Summary

    Hongjoong had always promised Seonghwa that he would show him the aurora one day, occasionally dropping by planets that were known for sightings in hopes that they would eventually be lucky. They never were.
    It’s funny, really, how the things that you have wanted so dearly only seem to come to you when you stop searching so intently.

    (or, Hongjoong talks to the stars and finally shows Seonghwa the aurora)
