⚡ Once, Tim caught Damian crying beside the lockers in the Cave after an awful patrol and a fight with Bruce, so he pulled him into an awkward hug until he cried himself out. They never spoke about it, but the next time Damian caught Tim with that look on his face, he just sat next to him and put a hand on his arm and kept his eyes forward until Alfred called them down to dinner.

(Something Like) An Anniversary
Bit late for Jason’s death-day, but I’ve had this idea in my head for a while. I was hoping it’d help get me writing again. (I swore I’d post something today.) Characters: Alfred, Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian. Some coarse language.[[MORE]] — The silence is suffocating, Dick thinks. Bruce is staring at his plate, fork gripped in a white-knuckled hand, his mouth...

Gray Kestrel: Hairy Conversations →
graykestrel:
Title: Hairy Conversations
Summary: “Hey, hey, don’t be mean. My hair was fabulous,” Dick replied, tugging lightly on Tim’s hair.
Notes: This was an ask box fic I wrote for incogneat-oh (who’s fics are the best things I’ve ever read) as a thank you for just being awesome and blessing…
For anyone who missed this when I posted it from my ask! It’s insanely adorable...

⚡ Every time someone starts to change/strip down in the Cave, Dick starts singing the stripper music. Eventually, tired of this, Tim organised it with everybody that the next time Dick started to strip in the Cave, everyone started applauding enthusiastically and wolf-whistling. It is the only time Tim and Damian have seen Dick genuinely blush with embarrassment. (Even though he cracked up...

Title: Since You’ve Been Gone Author: Tigrislupa Category: Batman (Comics) Pairing: None Rating: G Disclaimer: I make no claim on any of the characters. Warnings: None Summary: After months abroad, Tim returns home only to find that things have changed in his absence. Brothers can be such a pain.

⚡ Tim is sort of savagely pleased whenever Jason calls him “pretender”. He loves it as much as it makes him sick to his stomach, because Jason is validating Tim’s own insecurities that he has never and will never belong.

I don’t want this to be misconstrued in any way, because I think I am very lucky to have such sweet followers. This does not apply to probably 99.99% of you (because you are truly wonderful individuals, and I will always love you), and I want to make it clear that I still accept prompts/requests. I also don’t want anyone to stop talking to me/feel intimidated/think I am an asshole? I...

⚡ Dick asks Bruce, on a fairly regular basis, “So can we call Selina ‘mom’ yet, or what?”

⚡ The Bats are very protective of Tim. Particularly when Damian’s older, and Tim is significantly the smallest. In spite of their supposed hatred of him, and the fact that he can obviously take care of himself, even Damian and Jason are overprotective. (By the same token, Damian, before he hits his growth spurt, is also largely protected by his brothers when they can. The moral of the story...

⚡ Occasionally when Bruce brushes off a serious injury, the boys will sing, in a whisper, the chorus of “Be a Man” from Mulan. Bruce doesn’t get the reference, but is annoyed and bewildered all the same.

⚡ The first time Tim got sick as Robin, he didn’t tell Bruce about it, and nearly got himself killed on patrol. Tim passed out shortly after Bruce took him back to the Cave and woke up in his empty house, which is why he still mostly thinks Bruce doesn’t want anything to do with him if he’s not at his best or being useful. He showed up fully recovered three days later, and...

⚡ Dick is really graceful. Except when he’s not.

graykestrel asked: [1]When he entered the cave at some ungodly hour of the morning Dick was surprised to find Tim down there. He wasn’t surprised, however, to see his younger brother hunched over in his chair, bleary eyes focused on the computer screen in front of him. A small smile creeping onto his face, Dick walked quietly up behind Tim’s chair. The younger made no indication he was aware of...

Masterlist!
So it took me an embarrassingly long time to get around to it, but I made a masterlist!

⚡ Tim always feels like he’s not a part of the family. Bruce didn’t raise him the same way as he raised the other boys, and so, as much as he might consider Bruce his father, he can’t ever imagine Bruce seeing him as a son. Nothing Bruce could say would ever really change that.

⚡ Bruce is pretty much constantly bewildered by his sons. He doesn’t understand their sense of humour or their hobbies or their relationships or their slang. He is pretty sure most of the shit Dick talks about is made up and what is a Kardashian, Dick.

animegoil replied to your post: (1) “Esiar eht puc!” Each spell leaves Zatanna just a little more drained. Artemis doesn’t quite understand how magic works…
YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF ANALYSIS. Hahaha, and I saw that you had Z/A on your list of pairings on your OTP page, so that’s why I did them - but does anyone else tickle your fancy? Doesn’t have to be YJ either. It was fun to do this :)

an-ime-goil asked: (1) “Esiar eht puc!” Each spell leaves Zatanna just a little more drained. Artemis doesn’t quite understand how magic works—it’s tempting to say that all she’s been doing is repeating basic sentences backwards for an hour, but talking doesn’t make tilt sideways and have to grab a chair for support. “Woah, easy there, I got you,” Artemis says,...

⚡ Jason cares much more about his family than he lets on. He would go behind the scenes and seriously fuck up anyone who hurt his brothers, because he takes good care of the things that belong to him.

⚡ Bruce is perfectly affectionate, emotionally open, absolutely honest, and, in short, exactly the dad he wants to be for his kids… but only when they are unconscious, seriously drugged and alone. He will pet their hair and tell them he’s glad they’re okay and squeeze their hands and say, “You know, son, you gave me a helluva scare tonight”, and “I’m so proud of...

⚡ When Bruce came back, Dick (in an effort to show him how grown up he is, and how suitable for Batman), went in for a handshake rather than a hug. Bruce, though, dragged him in for a giant bear-hug that made him feel like a kid again, and he ended up crying and clinging for a bit.

⚡ Tim has occasionally, while talking about his mother, slipped and called her “Janet”. His guilt over this is crushing.

⚡ Dick waggles his eyebrows ridiculously whenever he makes a joke. This is the only reason any one has ever laughed at any of Dick’s jokes.

The world shrinks down. And Tim can’t breathe, can hear nothing but his rabbit-quick heartbeat in his own ears. He sees black. He doesn’t know if his knees are supporting him any more, doesn’t know much...

⚡ Tim types up sheets of slang and pop-culture references to give to Damian, in an effort to help him fit in better at school. Damian studies them.

⚡ Tim has a collection of nerdy pyjama pants. For this reason, Dick always tries to catch him in his pjs, but is almost never successful.

⚡ Dick is scared of storms. When he was young, in his first week at the manor, there was a terrible storm and he ended up sleeping in Bruce’s bed. Though he stopped sleeping in Bruce’s bed by the age of 10, he still hates storms, and they scare him in some deep way he can’t explain. No one knows about the fear except Bruce, who assumes he grew out of it.

(Always!) Unedited, sorry;; [[MORE]] — The first time it happens, Bruce is so surprised he can do nothing but stare. Standing in the doorway of the master bedroom, his bedroom, lit...

⚡ Whenever any of the boys gets injured seriously enough to miss a week or more of patrol, one of the other boys (read as: DICK) will paint their nails. If he is feeling kind, you may choose fingers or toes. Sometimes he will give an option between two colours (okay, so we got hot pink– lovely, I know– or blue but here is the catch if it’s blue I’m doing a coat of glitter-polish over...

⚡ Every night Tim stays at the manor, he gets up at least twice to check on the other inhabitants. A left-over paranoia from when he was a child and his parents would sometimes leave without waking him up (and there would be a note on the table that says, you looked tired, Tim, we thought we’d let you sleep. We’ll see you in three weeks. Be good!), and helped in no way by everyone...

⚡ Bruce never says goodbye when he ends a phone call. Dick feels that if he is going to get hung up on anyway, it may as well be earned. (“Hey B, you sound fat, what did you eat today?”, “Now we’ve got the business-part out of the way, you wanna get right down to discussing our feelings?”, “You know, you should tell me you love me more often”). He enjoys...

⚡ Even in the bad times, when Jason and Bruce don’t speak to each other at all, Jay is still in contact with Alfred. Weekly calls, care packages, and cryptic postcards if Jason is out of Gotham.
There is a large part of Jason that wants to forget that part of his life, wants Alfred to leave him alone for good, but most days it matters more to him than he’s comfortable with that there...

⚡ Usually about two or so weeks before Easter, Tim will stuff himself with chocolate eggs until he almost throws up. When he was a kid his parents would go on trips, and say, “Well now, Timothy, we won’t be back in time for the Easter holiday. We’ve marked it on the calendar and there are some chocolate treats in the cupboard. See you in six weeks!”. As soon as they would...

⚡ Dick consistently makes up stupid rules to get what he wants around his brothers. Whenever these rules are questioned, he holds up his hands and says, “Hey now, I don’t make the rules.”

⚡ Whenever any of his kids (Damian excluded) calls him ‘Dad’, or a variation of it, Bruce thinks it is a slip up, or they are being sarcastic. This is very rarely the case.

cr1mson5thestranger asked: Could you write a little bit of the Batfam the day after Tim's birthday in "Operation Birthday"? Like, he wakes up to everybody kind of piling in to ask him how he is, if he needs anything, giving presents, etc.? Please and thank you!

⚡ Dick calls Tim “handsome”. One day Dick heard the buzzwords low self-esteem and teens, and it hit him fast and it hit him hard that TIM! and oh so that’s what those school assemblies were about!!! so he takes it on himself to build up Tim’s self-esteem wherever he can. Tim stopped blushing furiously after the first few months, and now it’s a habit that neither of...

⚡ Jason always calls Bruce “dad” in his head. Every damn time. He hates so much that he does it, but can’t help it. Because of this, there is always a very short pause before he says Bruce’s name. Naturally, Bruce takes this as a sign of Jason’s hatred.

⚡ The unspoken rules of the manor dictate that until you are 15, Alfred buys your pyjamas and you will wear them and be grateful. This is not always a good rule, as the butler is a passive-aggressive man.

⚡ Tim has a very strong city-boy Gotham accent. However, due to his mother’s Very High Standards, he is self-conscious of his accent, and makes a deliberate effort to speak “properly” all the time. It is very rare that he lets down his guard and speaks naturally (Kon mocked his accent once), and it’s typically around Dick, but even then it usually takes exhaustion or a...
