#cass: tim's baby teeth :)

Damians eyes are green in canon but some head canon that they were blue originally but my headcanon is that his eyes can change colour form green to blue but it depends on how you view him the colour that you’ll see
Bruce and Tim see green cause Bruce is remembering all the times he had with talia and is filled with regret about so much of the stuff that happened between them that he can only ever see that and the what ifs when he looks at Damian
Tim sees green cause he reminder of all the shit he went through cause of the al ghuls he has some prejudice towards them and Damian and he at first struggled to see him as anything other than an extension of them his eyes are still green even when they stop being directly hostile towards each other but bleed into his blue nearer the centre but where blue when he hallucinated him when he was dead and right when he came back
Talia sees blue eyes and all the possibilities that Bruce could have given her (she could have got them herself but Bruce meant not being alone at start) but she still stuck between him and her father
Dick sees Bruce’s blue and all the burden that comes with Damian being his son and all the responsibilities that dick now has because of it (they start looking like Dicks eyes at some point somewhere between that first night and we were the best)
Jason sees the change from green to blue his relationship with Damian is difficult half the time he’s fighting him half they vaguely getting along Damian and robin have different eye colour (it’s hard to now which one Jason would say is a child and which colour he hates the most blue cause of Bruce or green cause of himself)
Steph always saw green she saw how different he was from his father the robins that came before him she looked and saw an angry child but she still saw a child (she treated him like a kid from the start knew that no matter what you go through or did no one can take something like that form you could see the safety and uncertainty that childhood brings)
Duke sees grey Damian was the first robin that was younger than him a shadow smaller than his running across Gotham City a movement stared after the shadow got snuffed out and acknowledged when the shadow returned duke sees damian and sees the robin he went to the movies with sees his little brother
Damian’s eyes are a teal to cass they don’t interact at lot so she sees him through others half the ppl telling her blue or green and one telling her grey her eyes are brown but she still sees herself at 8 right before her first and only kill when she looks at him the empathy and desperation to please and protect those around her a desire to do what’s right but too young to really no more than what your taught

Does the Batfamily use Damian's activities to reject invitations they don't want to go to?
Example: "I really would love to go on your planet/dimension but I promised Damian I would help him bath the batcow this weekend"
Or "the little one has a school project and I'll help him, I gonna be busy that night"
And something?
Bruce, on the phone: Sorry, I'm afraid I can't make it to your gala. Damian suddenly came down with a fever. You know how it is with the bug going around.
Damian: Father, I feel fine—
Bruce, covering the phone: Shush, I'm doing us a favor.
———————
Barbara: Hey, Damian got a concussion on patrol and I'm babysitting. Raincheck?
Damian: But Gordon—
Barbara: *shoos him away*
———————
Kate: I'll be late, I'm taking Damian to a root canal.
Damian: My teeth are perfectly healthy—
Kate: *muffles him with her jacket*
———————
Dick: I have to cancel. My little brother needs me right now. He's going through some tough times and I'm the closest he has to a friend.
Damian: *video calling Jon, Colin, Maya, Maps, Kathy, Billy, and Suren with the pets on camera*
———————
Steph: Heya boss, my brother just broke his leg and I need to take him to the ER. I need someone to cover my shift.
Damian: *roundhouse kicks a training dummy*
Steph: Damian, keep it down!
———————
Jason: Why I'm not gonna train the new henches? Because my brother has fucking chicken pox! Yes, you heard me right, assface. I don't care who you get as long as the orientation is done.
Damian: *has a band-aid from his booster shot*
———————
Cass: Can't dance. Baby brother needs food. Parents not home. He hasn't eaten in a week.
Damian: *devouring his second vegan sandwich*
———————
Selina: Sorry girls, my stepson's cat just died. Maybe next time.
Damian: *playing with Alfred the cat*
———————
Duke: Damian, I need you to cover for me. I'm supposed to make up a quiz but it's the Riddler again.
Damian: What story are you going with?
Duke: How about... you're stuck in the rain and I need to pick you up?
Damian: It's sunny.
Duke: Please just go with it. I'll take you to the arcade after.
Damian: *pours water on himself*
Damian, completely monotone: Oh no, I've been abandoned by my parental figures.
———————
Tim, to his secretary: Tell the board I'm canceling all my meetings this week. No one's seen my brother since yesterday and the police are now involved.
Damian: *standing next to him*
———————
Damian: *playing video games in the living room*
Alfred: Master Damian, why aren't you at school?
Damian: According to everyone else, I am experiencing a fever, concussion, tooth damage, emotional instability, broken leg, chicken pox, chronic starvation, the loss of a pet, getting stuck in a downpour, and going missing. I don't think I'm able to attend classes in such a state.

I am not a baby!! (Yes you are)
(Ao3 link) (Masterpost) (Previous) (Next)
(Part six people!!!)
Batting away a pod of stalkers that didn't get the memo he wasn't food Duke sighed. Rarely persistent predators, normally all it would take to scare them away was a slap from his tail. But with all the chaos that'd happened in such a short time period, they were agitated, attacking him more frequently much to his dismay and his sibling's entertainment. His face heated as he felt laughter erupt into the bond.
"Are the stalkers okay?" Damian questioned demandingly.
"I- They're still trying to maul me?" He replied, taking a second to whack a stalker, its mouth wide open ready to attempt biting his tail off.
"I think a Mesmer wandered from one of the nearby cave systems," He proposed, shaking the attacking stalkers off of him and watching with bared teeth as the fish finally realized they bit off more than they could chew leaving. A Mesmer would explain the stalker's agitation, their hypnotism and eventual biting tended to tick a lot of creatures off.
"So the glow from earlier was just from a Mesmer...?" Dick questioned, disappointment flooding into the bond.
"It was about the size of a Mesmer... Maybe smaller?" Duke started, peaking into the egg from before, no sign of anything being inside at all. " I didn't get to look at it, I was too busy being mauled," Duke complained, turning to glower at a stalker lurking beside him.
"You don't seem very certain Duke," Dick began, "Did something happen?"
Duke froze, staring intently at one of the smooth crystal-like slabs glowing dimly from inside the egg. "Yeah, I heard one of the little noises from the...you know?" The babies carried these around with them, it would make a little noise. A string of little chirps and clicks, and the baby would panic most often dying soon after.
"I think it was from one of the dead ones,"
'one of the dead ones' god he felt disgusting just saying it. But that's all he really could say. None of them lived long enough for them to know anything about them. They couldn’t pin personality and preferences to any of them like they had before! None of this batch lived long enough to fight reapers or watch plants and animals with curious awe.
Dick’s silence was deafening, hope dying slowly. It was like being stabbed, Dick was the one who so desperately wanted a new baby sibling to come out of this tragedy.
“Hey, I-“
“Father wants you two to join him patrolling,” Damian interrupted.
“Aren’t Cass, Steph, and Tim already doing that?”
Damian scoffed, “They have their own territories to patrol Thomas” Damian snapped. “The hell hole was blocked off!”
“And that means…?” Duke questioned, trailing off as the younger scoffed.
“Any idiot with a brain could understand that means we have to watch for sea dragons,”
Terror settled in his stomach. “Those things are real?!” He screeched, gills flaring.
“Real and hungry. What do you think is going to happen when they no longer have a fresh supply of reapers to snack on?” Damian mused and Duke could almost see the sharp-toothed grin on the youngers face
“Well I’m hoping they start eating rocks instead but I’ve gotta feeling you’re going to tell me otherwise.”
“It’s going to wander through the lost river and eat everything in the crater that moves,” Damian warned.
“Damian quit scaring Duke," Dick chimed in exasperatedly.
" I'm not!" Damian protested.
"You quite clearly are, Baby fish!" Dick replied voice laced with faux authority.
"It's not my fault he asked a stupid question!"
"Wait..." He started, pushing himself off the ground, flicking his tail to glide through the kelp forests. " Are we or are we not going to be eaten by a sea dragon?"
"No Duke, they only need to eat large meals every so often,"
"If you see one outside the lava zones switch forms and swim away. We're faster, they won't see us as something worth chasing" Dick explained.
"Oh..." That was relieving, the amount of damage a sea dragon could potentially cause him was terrifying. Precursors had made the fatal mistake of messing with one and you don't exactly see any of them around anymore.
"Why does Bruce need us then?" Duke could almost hear the infuriated shriek from here.
"What part of precursor activity screams 'business as usual'?"
"Be nice you two," Dick warned. Duke shook his head, gliding his way toward the impact site.
"I think he's just bitter that he's the one who was tasked with watching the shallows" Duke teased, an uproar of laughter flooding the bond at Damian's offended squawk.
"At least I won't have to deal with the reapers!" Damian bragged
"You won't if you'd get your ass to the shallows Demon spawn," Jason piped up.
"Plenty of reapers in the dunes kid,"
"Snitch,"
"Slacker,"
Duke snickered as he slithered into the crash zone. Murky waters, from the massive amounts of sand yet to settle at the seabed. Chunks of metal littered the impact site an egg floating upside down yet not a trace left of the red blood that spilled into the ocean the other day. Reapers circled the site, teeth snapping at anything they saw.
A blur of red entered his peripherals, Jason used his horn to stab through a chunk of metal before launching it full force at a charging reaper. A loud snap as the metal hit its target shrapnel spray slicing into a shrieking reaper.
"These fuckers are getting bolder every single day," Jason laughs humorlessly. Mandibles snap, teeth gnash, reaper screaming louder and louder as it starts circling the two of them. "I almost miss the Sea dragon," Jason joked. A gnarled pinkish burn scar on his left side, dorsal fin torn off and smaller burns littering Jason's body told him he would never in fact "Miss the sea dragon,"

You Wouldn't Do It Now, Would You?
“Drake?” Tim drake turned around. “Dami? What are you doing here?” The young boy shrugged, leaping over to Tims building. “Im Robin. I just finished my rounds. Why are you here Drake?” Tim shrugged, mimicking him, and turned back to the city. “Its been a while since i just relaxed here. On the roof. Watching the city. Me and B used to do it all the time.” “oh.” Damian took a seat next to his older brother, letting his legs dangle. Tim took a deep breath and released it slowly, inhaling Gotham. “I love this city.” he whispered. Damian nodded. “At first i thought Father was crazy. And then Dick started talking like him, and Jason has it as his homescreen. I thought you were all insane for harboring such love for this shit-hole.” Tim smiled. “But…?” he asked. Damian sighed, slipping his hood off. “But now, i see it.” Tims smile practically glowed. “You do?” Damian nodded. “Now i know why you all stayed. Why Dick cant help himself and visits way more than he should. Its not just to see us, although it really is, its to see his city.” “his first true home.” Tim agreed. “And Todd. The streets weren't kind to him, but somehow he fell in love.”  Damian added. Tim nodded. “Yep. Bruce rubbed off on all of us. When he talked about Gotham, it was like he was talking about a lover. It was always she is so beautiful. And sure, shes rough, but shes home. And under the grime and crime,” “theres beauty.” Damian finished, nodding. Tim nodded too. “Cass and Steph have a nightly run over the rooftops. And a special spot where they like to watch the city.” Tim informed his baby brother. Damian looked at him. “Is this yours?” Tim nodded. “Yep. This is mine and Dads. Its where we would spend time after our patrol. Just the two of us. That place down there,” he pointed into the street below. “Sells the best ice cream ever. We used to just hop down there and buy some then come up here. The workers there all knew us.” “you have a special ice cream place with Father too?” Damian asked. Tim laughed. “Of course. We all do. It started because of Dick. He was an energetic nine year old and needed lots of calories to keep himself awake and moving. Then when Jason came, B found a different place to take him because they had a different patrol route. Same for me. And Cass. And Steph. And you.” Tim tousled damian's hair. Damian nodded. “Very nice, I was not aware of that Drake. Thank you.” Tim smiled. “Anytime baby bird.” Damian wrinkled his nose. “And that. Why bird?” Tim laughed. “Well, because you're robin. B is Batdad or DadBird. Dick was his baby bird. Then Dick became Brother Bird. Jason was baby bird. Then he became Gun Bird. Then i was baby bird. Ect.” “what are you now?” Damian asked, curious. Tim winced. “Im Red Bird.” he said through gritted teeth. Damian laughed. “That sounds like something Grayson and Todd would come up with.” Tim shook his head. “Yep. They're wonderful.” They sat in comfortable silence for a while when Damian spoke. 
“Do you ever think of jumping?” his voice was soft. Tim stilled. “Yes.” he answered honestly. Damian looked at him. “Is that why you were sitting here?” Tim shook his head. “No.” “You.. wouldn't have killed yourself, would you? You won't?” Damian pushed. Tim nodded. “I might have. Back then.” Damian swallowed. “And now? Would you?” Tim looked at his brother in shock. “No Damian. I wont.” he answered sincerely. Damian averted his gaze. “Good.” he blushed a little. “I just think, two older brothers is a weird number.” Tim smiled softly. “Me too Darling. Don't worry. I have no plans of leaving you alone. Neither do dick and Jason.” Damian nodded. “Okay.” he looked up at Tim shyly and tim sat at full alert. “I-I would like a hug.” Damian asked. Tim immediately melted. “Whenever you want baby bird.” he folded his brother into his arms. Damian buried his face in his brothers suit and held him, breathing him in. “i think,” his voice was soft, quiet. “I think i like being you all’s baby bird.” Tim smiled, pressing a kiss to damian’s head. “Yeah?” Damian nodded, face still pressed into his brothers chest. “Yeah.” Tim hugged him tighter. “Good. Cause you'll always be our baby bird. And we’ll always be your big brothers.”

Do you have any headcanons for fem Bruce with her daughters
Oh mannn, so angst time but, -- I feel like there's a gentle brutality between mothers and daughters; I feel like Bruce would never escape that cancerous feeling of inadequacy biting and mouthing with steel teeth, and whatever she does, she does for love, but maybe it just won't be enough.
It's complicated, it's hard, because Stephanie has this brilliant fire, but it's fed by impulsiveness and thoughtless action. Nothing good comes from bloody bravery. Thomas Wayne would agree.
Bryce says that; You can't go fistfight life. and Steph hears you're not fit for Robin, or Brown, or Wayne. You're a typo in a novel.
" Sorry I'm not Tim! Oh, wait, you don't even prefer him. It's Jason. It's little Jason Todd that's always going to be your baby, right? Hey, if I die next, will I get a hug, too?"
It's a powder keg that goes off and you ignore it, because it'll get resolved. Maybe not immediately, maybe not permanently, but hurt is forgotten over pizza rolls and hot chocolate.
And Cass. Cass is her sweetheart; Cass is a gentle hand and an angry fist both. She shares Bruce's mindframe, believes there's no one too low for redemption to grab. It's beautiful and terryfing.
Because Gotham isn't kind to soft things. You're either a hero, a villain, or something worse. But she can't exactly scold Cass, - can't stand to deny this priceless gift, to be loving in loveless places.
" I feel dissapointment from you."
" I'm sorry. You're doing everything right," but that's not enough; It wasn't enough for her, or for Jason.
" I see."
Bruce loves her daughters; But Gotham doesn't. It doesn't love anybody, she thinks, not unless someone grabs its grimy neck and forces it to. But love isn't force; love is everything nice and soft and easy.
Or maybe not. Maybe, she thinks, looking over her sleeping girls, curled up in her lap, maybe love isn't easy but you choose it anyway.

Oooo, so you have more fic recs? (if possible any where Jason Todd jsut gets that hug he so desperately need, violently or not I will take anything)
Of course!! here's a bunch of jason fics that I adore <3
by RedHeadedWoman
Jason has decided to move back into the Manor at least part time (or so he says) but there's just one problem. His bedroom has not changed since before everything so now he has to redecorate it with some help from his crazy as hell family.
Jason was going to regret this. So very much.
this fic is very old but still doesn't get the respect it deserves wtf!!!
by @daedalusdavinci
There are moments when the… everything of Dick's life catches up with him, and exhaustion sinks deep into his skin. However, when he goes dark on everyone else, Jason doesn't quite get the memo. Rules never seem to apply to little brothers.
After two weeks of little more than clipped texts, Jason shoves his way into Dick's life and gets him up and moving again.
jason tricks dick into taking care of himself yayyyy
by sophene
Jason decides to take Tim with him on a road trip. Tim has no say in the matter.
LMFAOOOO. just read it you'll see
by @thingr1
(In which Jason is hiding but Dick seeks him out anyway.)
mutual hurt/comfort baby!!!
by darkesky
“‘M fine,” Tim said and somehow missed both of their incredulous looks. Tim could be actively bleeding out—and hey, he might be right now—and he’d still find a way to insist he was fine and would be fine.
Jason spoke first (which proved how out of it Dick was because most days, he needed to beg Dick to shut the fuck up). “You’re such a dumbass.”
“Hey!” Tim swatted at him weakly. He couldn’t even beat a butterfly in a fistfight right now. “You can’t be mean to me. I’m injured.”
“Thought you were fine,” Jason said.
Tim paused, blinking. Then, he groaned and hid his face again.
Jason has to deal with his dumbass brothers.
jason indeed deals with his dumbass brothers
by @badacts
“This is a real novel moment for me,” Hood says. “I’m savouring it.”
“Savour it quietly,” Bruce replies. They’re here for a purpose, and he may not mind it in the strictest sense, but the GCPD lockup is not the place or time for Jason’s irreverent humour.
a tumblr fic wow!! also i love the characterization here
by @chuuyanakahra
"It’s easy to find it, if you know what you’re looking for. And Tim knows exactly what he’s looking for; when you work with Batman, you always do.
So he finds the small apartment, breaks in, and sits in the surprisingly comfortable couch. And waits.
Waiting’s the worst part of the job, though."
or, alternatively, Jason survives Ethiopia, and things change, while staying more or less the same.
tim is a stalker fan!!
by @unavenged-robin
The man looks at him as if Jason had an answer. But Jason has no answers. He’s bewildered just like him. They’re two men with no idea whatsoever of what the hell is happening to them.
cass takes care of jason, and jason is Confused
by @jyanadavega
"Jason snarled his teeth at his brother. Nightwing, damn him, simply smiled more, his hands still on his hips, expression deeply amused despite the groans of pain behind him.
Jason really wished he hadn’t been the one to be tied up to this altar. He immediately shoved the thought away, because he really didn’t want any of his siblings in his position anyway. Damn. Who authorized him to have these feelings?
“So,” started Dick. Jason immediately cut him off.
“Don’t.”"
OR: Red Hood gets kidnapped by some cultists, and Nightwing rescue him.
a cornerstone fic of ace!jason
and one last one!
by NightOwl1600
Jason doesn't quite understand whats going on. All he can tell for certain is that Tim is injured behind him, and Damian is standing in front of him, telling him to shoot. And for some reason, he really really wants to kill them both even though he knows he shouldn't. He would never kill his brothers, not now, at least, since they'd really grown to become brothers. Would he?
brainwashing fic :( but the fluff prevails!

[12/?]
original prompt | complete masterlist
Before the next family game night starts, Marinette strolls into the room carrying gift bags of different sizes. She greets the three early occupants inside.
"What are those?" Stephanie cranes her neck to get a better look.
"I had extra time so I decided to make these." Marinette let Duke help her setting the bags down at the foot of the couch. Cass peeks into one of the bags curiously.
"Vigilante-themed gifts." Marinette beams. "Since everyone's been so excited talking about their favorite vigilantes lately."
Stephanie laughs nervously. "Yeah, excited."
Marinette digs into a bright purple bag, fishing out a custom-made purse that's an obvious nod to Spoiler's theme. Steph gasps and gives her a bone-crushing hug.
The other gifts follow. She made a baggy graphic tee with an intricate artwork of Orphan for Cass. For Duke, she painted a pair of white Nikes to depict the Signal's colors.
"What did you get the others?" Duke asks, holding his shoes to his chest.
Marinette smirks. "You'll see."
---
The boys are quick to ask for their gifts when they arrived for game night. Dick receives a special lucky charm from her, which has a tiny trapeze trinket and a Nightwing bead.
"Extra luck when you need it," Marinette says to him. Dick wears it around his wrist immediately, swearing to keep it safe.
Jason's gift is the most intricate: an embroidered and studded leather jacket with Red Hood designs at the back and around the sleeves.
"Maybe Red Hood will like it if you ever meet him in person." Marinette steps back after confirming that it's a snug fit.
Jason clears his throat, choking up. "Ye--yeah he'll love this."
For Tim, she has crocheted two small ducks, one dressed as Red Robin and another as Tim in his office suit. Tim the Duck even has a coffee mug on its back. Marinette added metal rings so they double as keychains.
"My babies." Tim nods his approval and tucks them in his hoodie pocket.
----
Damian is the last one to receive his gift.
Marinette gently pulls out a picture frame from a box. "I didn't actually make this one," she explains, "but I got it commissioned instead. Since you have a massive crush on Robin---"
"---a what---"
"I had it made to suit your taste!"
She presents it to her brother: on the frame is a semi-realistic painting of Damian and Robin, where the latter is carried bridal style in the former's arms. Their gazes are locked in a romantic haze.
Marinette bounces on her heels. "And if you take the picture out there's a reader x Robin fanfiction at the back! Don't worry, it's a G.N. reader."
Damian stares down at the picture, speechless.
Her face falls. "Don't you like it?"
"I---I appreciate it," he manages to utter behind gritted teeth.
"I'm glad!" She nudges him on the side teasingly. "Don't be too embarrassed, Dames. It's okay to have a crush. You two look great together!"

Okay bonus separate art post so I can include detail images without spamming op
Tumblr media
[id: a water scene with a boat to the right partially visible. Clark is sitting cross legged at the edge of it, with Dick plastered over his back. Dick has a black tail and blue fins and eyes. Clark has his arms outstretched to take Duke from Bruce. Duke is very small. All his fins and eyes and tail are yellow. Bruce, lifting him out of the water, has an all black color scheme, long hair, and many scars. Below water Barbara is swimming in a circle around Cass and Steph. Babs has special underwater glasses and a medical brace on the lower part of her tail, which is green. Her eyes are also green and she has purple fins. Cassandra, small, is holding Steph’s arm and her eyes and tail are black with yellow fins. Stephanie has purple everything and she is smiling, so you can see that she is missing a few teeth. Behind Bruce, Jason is scowling and holding a sleeping baby Damian in his arms. His tail and eyes are red, his fins are brown, just enough of his face is above water so Clark can see him glaring. Damian is curled up. His tail is green and his fins are black. Floating behind those two are Jarro and Tim. Tim has black eyes, yellow fins, and a red tail. Most batkids have visible scars.]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[id: six zoomed in pictures of the earlier image but with the water layer removed, so the parts that were underwater earlier are brighter now. The first focuses on Barbara, particularly her hair. The second shows Cass and Steph and Babs’ tail brace. Third image is Duke, fourth is Bruce’s upper body, fifth image is Tim Jarro Damian and Jason, and the sixth image is Dick hugging Clark.]

Teenage Mutant Power Rangers
First posted: August 12, 2018
Focuses on: Bruce Wayne et al
Favorite bookmark: "wdym this isn't dc canon"
Tier: Decently middle of the road, higher up in overall metrics than I expected, for sure.
This is my "behind the scenes" series where I indulge myself horribly by annotating my fics. Link to the fic itself above. Thoughts below the cut.
The BatFam week prompt was "time travel." Not my favorite thing to deal with, but I had fun writing this one.
I love writing new-to-vigilantism baby Bruce. He's so horribly emotastic and optimistic all at the same time. He has no clue what he's doing but thinks he does. He's so twenty-something.
More than anything, though, Bruce regretted how rough the aftermath was going to be on Alfred. He knew the old butler saw him as a son, and no father should have to identify their child’s corpse.
Another fun thing about writing baby Bruce is lacing in the casual zingers. They don't hit him, but they hit readers dead on if you do them right. :3
Bruce’s head whipped around to stare into the masked face of a green-hooded figure.
Figuring out how to color code everyone was a nightmare. This family is over-reliant on red and black.
“What, kill me? Wrong-o, B. I’m not the one with mortality issues. You had a fifty-fifty shot and you whiffed.”
Love me some zingers.
The boy cut open the tear in Bruce’s suit, stabbed what felt like a local anesthetic into the meat of Bruce’s shoulder, and began inspecting his bullet wound. 
I believe at this time it was more common to assign Tim the medical role, so that's what I did here. Funny, the microtrends that surge in fandom.
He watched as a lithe, hooded figure with a swimmer’s build dropped next to the gang’s lieutenant, graceful and silent as a cat, and swept the legs out from under the brawler, who dropped like a stone. In quick succession, two more hooded fighters appeared out of the shadows as if they had been born from them, a broad-shouldered mountain of a man and a slender figure with suspiciously feminine hips. 
Trying to describe everyone when 1) their faces and identifying features are all covered and 2) Bruce has no idea who they are was, again, a nightmare.
For a while, Bruce thought there was only the four he had seen, but then he noticed the men that disappeared into the darker corners of the alley and never reemerged. Once, he managed to spot the pair of hands that reached out and pulled a man in, as fast and as deadly as a goblin shark’s jaws.
As a general rule, it's always best to make Cass the scariest, no matter what. Also, if you're reading this and haven't looked up videos of a goblin shark, do.
“Seriously, he’s what? Twenty-five? Bet he’s still got all his original teeth, too.” Bruce opened his mouth to snarl that of course he had all his original teeth, what kind of monster children were they and where were their parents, when a shadow split off from the rest and touched his shoulder.
Baby Bruce is so so so out of his depth and it's a delight.
And though the teen hadn’t catalogued Bruce’s busted knee, they were able to catch Bruce when he took a step and crumpled. A chorus of knowing groans rose. “Your knee? C’mon, B, you should’ve said,” the teen—Red? he had a green hood, that didn’t make sense—said. “He’s Batman-ing,” the blonde said. “Totally Batman-ing,” the tall man—Hood? or were they all Hood?—agreed. Bruce blinked as the man tucked his chin into his neck and growled, “I’m invincible. I bleed justice. My bones are made of truth and the American way.” “Don’t be ridiculous, Hood,” sniffed the boy. “That sounds more like Su—” “Ah, ah, ah!” the slender man interrupted as the shadow clapped its hands over the boy’s mouth. “Ixnay on the Ooper-say. You know the rules. Wibbly-wobbly, butterfly wings, et cetera, and we’ve screwed up enough.”
I delight myself, retroactively. They know exactly how he is and love him in spite of it, but no way will they pass up a chance to rag him for it. Also, yes, their names are stupid. But also, I think I was inspired by Loki mocking Captain America here, and I'm not ashamed of that. But also Lion King with the pig latin.
But when the others merely stood and looked at him, he sighed, and suddenly Bruce was lifted off his feet into a bridal carry. Bruce sucked in a sharp breath as the move jostled his ribs, then settled. The hold was surprisingly comfortable, and, in his addled state, made him feel fancy.
Pinkies up.
I hope everyone enjoyed each kid's final words to Bruce, because they were all very deliberate. Did you catch them? But also please note that I figured out Damian's first and wrote everyone else's just to get to that one.
They're rainbow color-coded ninja fighters and it's the late 80s, early 90s. Of course Bruce's closest frame of reference is the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (with a side of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.)

So I’ve been binging a lot of paranormal/past lives documentaries recently, and I’d like to hear your opinion on what unsettling things the batkids have said to Bruce in a universe where he had all of them as tinies
Baby Dick: Tati, I made a friend today!
Bruce: How nice. What's their name?
Dick: His name is Wally and he runs super fast. Like super duper.
Bruce, chuckling: You should bring him over sometime.
Dick: But he's right behind you.
———————
Baby Cass: *staring out the window*
Bruce: What'cha looking at?
Cass, whispering: He's back.
———————
Baby Damian: Baba, you have teeth.
Bruce: Indeed I do.
Damian: For now.
———————
Baby Tim: Dad, can I sleep here?
Bruce: Of course, buddy. What's wrong, did you have a nightmare?
Tim: They're in my room again.
Bruce: Who?
Tim: The mountain people. They're here for my insides.
———————
Bruce: *washing strawberries*
Baby Steph: Strawberries are red!
Bruce: Yep.
Steph: Just like my blood when it escapes my skin.
———————
Bruce: *tucks Jason in*
Baby Jason: Goodbye, Pops.
Bruce: It's goodnight, not goodbye, remember?
Jason: Not this time.
———————
Bruce: Hey Barbara, aren't you hungry?
Baby Barbara: *shakes her head*
Barbara: I have a tummyache here.
Barbara: *points to where the Joker would've shot her*
———————
Baby Duke: *standing in a dark room*
Bruce: Hey Duke, what are you doing in there?
Duke: The shadows called me.
Bruce, tired of all this: Well now I'm calling you. Dinner's ready.

Violetta my beloved!! ⚠️ - If this oc came with a warning sign, what would it be? 🗡️ - Does this oc have a signature object, accessory, or weapon? 🐉 - Very serious question… are they more like a dragon, or a unicorn? 🌨️ - If this oc had a day free from all their responsibilities, how would they spend it?
Ooh yay I get to talk about my darling Vi!! Thank you very much, Robin dear! 🥰 // now taking oc asks from this list (specifically for Amaya and Violetta, as they’re my only girlies I’ve introduced here)
⚠️ - If this oc came with a warning sign, what would it be?
Ahalslskdf this question. Vi is my oc who needs the most warning labels, bless her. If I had to choose just one, though…
WARNING: WILL BITE IF TOUCHED.
🗡️ - Does this oc have a signature object, accessory, or weapon?
Several, actually! Her signature weapons are butterfly knives and a pearl-handled revolver.
Her signature civilian accessories include well-loved black combat boots, a silver locket inherited from her beloved Nonna, eclectic earring stud sets (including: four colorful dinosaurs for when she is particularly happy), and a baby pink leather jacket.
She also, almost always, is carrying a book in her bag.
🐉 - Very serious question… are they more like a dragon, or a unicorn?
GREAT question. Vi herself would say she’s a dragon… sharp claws and teeth, loyal to few, fiercely protective of those she considers her own— to the point of violence, if need be. Full of fire, a source of terror for her enemies and a source of warmth for her loved ones.
But a unicorn… powerful and beautiful with sharp edges so as to better protect itself… a bit mysterious and remote when she wants to be… an argument could be made for that as well.
🌨️ - If this oc had a day free from all their responsibilities, how would they spend it?
Oh I love this question! Vi so rarely has a day free from her many responsibilities (including but not limited to: completing her online psychology undergraduate program, juggling various duties as the sole heiress of a prominent family, patrolling the streets of Gotham in disguise to check in with the street kids and disadvantaged women she protects, etc etc etc), so for her it would be difficult to choose between Rest and Doing All the Fun Things. So— she often does a bit of both!
On a bad brain day, she’ll curl up under a blanket pile on the couch with a cup of tea and assorted home-baked goods and binge watch comfort movies— her favorite is Beauty and the Beast— and has to be gently bullied into getting up to shower and to eat solid meals. (It’s usually Jason who does this, as he has the gentleness-bullying ratio Vi needs down to a science, though Steph has been known to barge into Vi’s apartment and tell her, with all the love and sympathy in her heart, “Get up, loser, we’re going for a drive.”)
On better days, she’ll sleep in a bit, hit up her favorite gym for a chill workout, then find a new recipe to try on Pinterest and spend the rest of the morning baking, with her favorite playlist or GBBO on in the background as ambiance. Cass and Steph might drag her out on a girls’ day adventure, or Tim may swing by with a mocha from their favorite local coffee shop, or Jason may crawl through her living room window with a rant locked and loaded about whether or not the newest Jane Austen adaptation is faithful to the original text. If none of these things occur, she’ll send out a group text bribing her friends (90% of whom are closely associated with Bruce Wayne) with desserts, and shenanigans are bound to follow.
Vi mainly wants to do a few things with her free time: bake, hang out with the family she’s chosen, lose herself in the latest book that’s captured her interest, and sit on a rooftop and stargaze for a little while. Give her these things, and she’s perfectly content-- and rejuvenated enough to return to all the chaos of activity that is her life.

Mini Batfam Headcanons Pt. 1:
Most of these can be seen or a hinted at in past posts.
Steph never actually calls Bruce ‘Bruce’.
Brucifer
Brucellina
Bronchitis
Brucie baby
Brucothy
Bruno
Brumantha
Brucely
Bruce Lee (apparently this and Brucely are very different even though they sound exactly the same. Steph will be annoyed if these two get confused)
Brusicilies
Bruh broh brucie boy
Brucith
Brueggers
These are just a few examples
The bats call Green Lantern anything other than green lantern. Green Nightlight is the most common but they also have:
Blue Torch
Purple Flashlight
Yellow Lightbulb
Orange Laser
Red Lamp
Mint Flame
Teal LED Bulb
Basically the bats will call Green Lantern by anything that can be considered a color paired with anything that can be considered a light source.
Every member of the fam has one random oddity that weirds others out.
Bruce — Thinks dressing up as a bat and punching the mentally ill is a good way to cope with his parents death.
Dick — Can lick his elbow. Steph hates when he does this.
Babs — Sneezes when she goes outside on a bright day or looks at the sun. Bc of this she’ll sometimes just say, “the sun makes me sneeze” and it always confuses Dick.
Jason — Can fold a fitted sheet. It makes Alfred so proud. Cass on the other hand calls it witch craft and refuses to let him near her sheets
Cass — Walks silently in heels no matter the flooring. Usually she puts in a little effort to make some sound, but she can easily walk silently across any type of flooring in heels.
Tim — Bites into ice cream. It mostly weirds out Duke and Jason, they claim it makes their teeth hurt.
Steph — Eats her pizza crust first. Jason calls this blasphemy.
Duke — Has a weird ability to recite things backwards. Like after hearing a song twice he can easily recite all of the lyrics in reverse order.
Damian — Sleepwalks. And it’s terrifying bc while asleep he always finds some kind of a weapon to carry.

What do the Batfam look like in your "Not a baby (yes you are)" fix?
Like specific descriptions & stuff?
I REALLY want to make fanart, but be accurate to your fic & your idea!
Maybe also a small description for Danny & some changes he might go through so I can also draw him?
I look forward to any response!
(I'll give you what leviathan appearances that're set in stone since Babs, Steph, and Cass still need a bit more thought.)
Bruce's species is closely related to the gargantuan leviathan meaning he's pretty big like so big he shouldn't be living in the crater. He mostly lives in the larger more open areas but really he should be living in the void. He's more long than wide like a snake with thick pitch black scales covering him like armor. He's one of the few leviathans with "hands" four clawed fingers on each of them. He keeps the head shape of the gargantuan leviathan's with six glowing white eyes. basically a huge freaking underwater snake with a mouth of razor sharp teeth.
Damian's a hybrid between Bruce and Talia (A ghost Leviathan) he's just big enough to wrap himself around Danny's base once but he's not done growing yet. Like Bruce he's long and snakelike but he lacks the visual scale armor all over his body. Only his forehead, chest and arms have the pitch black scales. His fingers are clawed extremely sharp but he's only got four on each hand. the rest of his body is semi transparent and pale like the ghost Leviathans. He's got what looks like blue, yellow and green stripes on him but those are really just organs and blood vessels you can vaguely see through his skin. He's got some short tattered fins that run along his the sides of his body which are dotted by a line of bioluminescent spots. His arms are kind of lanky like a cat that's not quite fully grown. He's got a similar head shape to Bruce but his jaw is slimmer, his teeth more crammed together as is a (inefficient) filter feeder.
Tim looks similar to a squid shark. He's one of the smallest of the batfam. He doesn't have any arms just two large dorsal fins on each side of his body and two long, thin electric blue tendrils below them that can clumsily grab things though he shocks everything he grabs. He lives in the deeper areas of the blood kelp forest so the top side of his body often has blood oil clinging to him to blend in. Like the squid shark he's got that freaky jaw and jets to propel him through the water.
Duke is based of the hover fish in color scheme his yellow body is covered in spots some of which are shaped like bats including a white spot on his main chest. He's got two blanket like fins at the sides of his body and his gills give off a metallic shine to attract prey. The chapter where we get a glimpse of Duke Danny describes him as snake-like but really he's thicker and more like a betafish in shape.
Dick shows some resemblance to an amp eel with his exoskeleton being like armor plating and his whole electric but that's where most of the similarities end. He's got javelin like fins and spindly arms that he uses for climbing they're can become electrified when he's stressed like the rest of his body. He's built to be extremely quick with a wide range of maneuverability but he's still too big for the shallows. He keeps his Nightwing color scheme of black and blue although the colors are more muted.
Jason obviously resembles the Reaper leviathan. He's got burn scars across his body and one of his fins has been torn in half. His head shape is almost indistinguishable from a regular reaper although he's got a few extra eyes two of which are dulled stained slightly green (dormant Kharaa) he's got a horn at the top of his head he uses to launch things at top speed (fish version of gun) He's bigger than any of the reapers and a deeper red in color it's only if you look at him long enough that you can realize his patterns are different.
As for Danny he's a little kid looking to be around the age of two or three. He's got fangs that inhibit his speech a bit giving him a bit of a lisp. His eyes are still blue but if he's in a darker area they glow a bioluminescent green along. His hair has patches of white and his ears are pointed.
(For now, only Tim has his humanoid form designed but I'll reblog when that changes)
