    Summary

    Bruce had been watching Sheila for a while now, trying to figure out why she had called him. They had hooked up once, almost a year ago, and she had disappeared into Gothams streets. Bruce hadn’t really tried looking for her, he had been young and drunk, but a year out as Batman had matured the young man greatly and he regretted his foolishness ever since. None of that mattered right now. All that mattered was the small, helpless child nestled in Sheila’s arm.

    Or- Bruce Wayne is Jason Todds father. While he’s figuring that out he gains another child, an orphan named Richard Grayson.

    Summary

    “You should get to know the Todd boy,” Mom had insisted. “You’re at the same school – I mean, it’s practically divine providence!”

    Tim wouldn’t go that far. He’s seen Jason around a few times since he started high school this year and he generally looks mulish and tired, not to mention a foot taller than him. The job his parents have given him tonight – becoming best friends with the second Wayne heir – seems somewhere between optimistic and impossible.

    He doesn’t say any of this to his parents, however. He’s no fool.

    Or: Tim and Jason meet at a gala. Tim can’t be lonely, even if he doesn’t have any friends at school, cause he’s always surrounded by people. There. Easy. Jason, on the other hand, isn’t just lonely – he’s the street rat in a sea of rich kids, and they make sure he never forgets it. Perhaps divine providence isn’t too inaccurate after all.

    Alternatively, the one where Jason gets cast in the school musical, Tim's trying to figure out why Robin's getting bullied, and Jack and Janet Drake are on the hunt. Trouble's afoot...

    Summary

    “Maybe it just wasn’t a good fit. I hear that happens sometimes. Maybe you and the new one will gel better,” Bruce offers.
    “Sure, I’m sure I’ll gel with an art therapist.”
    Bruce is scoffing before he knows it. “Art therapist? She wants you to fingerpaint?”
    Tim snorts a laugh. “I guess. Maybe she’ll see something in the doodles.”
    “Maybe.”

    -or-

    Tim's not the first of Bruce's kids to need a therapist. He certainly won't be the last.

    Summary

    Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.

     

    From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.

     

    The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.

     

    All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.

     

    Bruce couldn’t let that happen.

     

    Not then, not ever again.

    -🦇-

    Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.
