    Summary

    At age 8, Dick Grayson lost his parents and was whisked away to catacombs unknown.

    At age 12, Jason Todd successfully out-maneuvered the Batman but was found by something far more sinister.

    At age 5, Tim Drake disappeared without a trace. No one went looking for him.

    Years later, Batman is dealing with a new, silent threat in Gotham. This group strikes hard and fast, and conquers a disturbingly large chunk of territory. Despite their two years of existence, Batman still knows nothing about them. No one escapes Batman for this long unless they're good...too good.

    So, when Batman finally gets his answers, only to find that this terrifying group of individuals is barely more than a teenage coffee-addict and his two actually scary older brothers, what is a vigilante with adoption issues to do?

    OR:

    Batman finds three former assassins/members of the Court of Owls and wonders how long it would take him to adopt legally dead birds.

    Summary

    At fourteen, Tim Drake is no stranger to loneliness. But when his parents die in a plane crash, and a will reveals that Bruce Wayne is his biological father, he’s dropped into a world of vigilantes, legacy, and disappointment. Bruce, caught off-guard and not ready for more family, keeps his distance.

    Tim doesn’t push. He’s used to being a shadow.

    But shadows notice things. They listen. They help. And while Bruce avoids his newest son, Alfred brings him in—gently, steadfastly, and without question. Tim finds belonging not in the Cave, but in quiet acts of care. In warm mugs of milk. In folded laundry. In the faint scent of his grandmother’s perfume still lingering in the halls.

    Bruce may not be ready yet. But Tim is already home.

    Summary

    It takes a great man to see through one's fake identity, it takes an even greater amount of patience for Bruce Wayne, in other circles known as Batman, not to pop a bloodvessel and die of internal bleeding when he unmasks the most notorious stalker of the vigilante community as a literal child.

    Summary

    Alastor died when he was 12 years old, having his soul already have been sold to one very powerful demon of hell, he is granted power and a very important job to kill those he is told to kill. Alastor goes decades in hell, building his reputation and up keeping the facade of him being an adult.
    When he gets a new mission to monitor the ‘Hazbin hotel’ and the princess of hell, he manages to annoy the king of hell so much, that in retaliation Lucifer turns him back into a human temporarily. Inadvertently revealing his best kept secret, only known to one other.
     
    Or:
    While children automatically go to heaven in this usual, those who (1) commit suicide and those who (2) are offered as sacrifices in deals with demons with access to Earth, will enter hell.
    Alastor, of course managed to tick both of these boxes in his 12 years of living.
    The hotel staff (and others) have to navigate this new perspective of someone they were, fighting, hating, respecting or depending on.

Is this dream too good to be true? Or has Harry, after so many years as an unwanted stray, finally found a real home?
