A video is uploaded where it starts from a clip saying " I'm not/Batman's not nobody's house wife" and it cuts to Robin telling someone offscreen to " make me sandwich!" , the camera turns around to some huge muscular hands making an overly-exgravegant sandwich with "the feels" from twice sped up playing in the bg. In the end the music cuts and Robin is seen happily eating the sandwich while swinging his legs and says 'thanks dad' as the muscular hand (in a spiked gauntlet now) pats his head. The video is 30 seconds long

The video goes viral.

[ilovemybruciewayne]

Once he started it was like a switch had flipped.

Bruce had told him he could if he wanted and didn't feel uncomfortable about it. And Jason was rejoicing on it.

He had started over genuine love and nostalgia. But it was his siblings reactions that kept fueling him. And now he was unable to call Bruce any other way.

"Hey dad! Check what I found!!" He stepped down of his bike, happily walking to the computer Bruce was sat on, side eyeing as Dick chocked on air next to him.

"Morning, dad" He patted Bruce's back as he stepped inside the kitchen. Smirking while Tim spat his coffee on top of his laptop.

"Mind if I crash at the manor today, dad?" Damian almost tripped over the side of a building, if it wasn't for Batman catching him in the air.

"Sup' dad, quiet night?" Stephanie gaped at him from her spot next to Batman, looking back and forth between them both.

"Dad, you're out of the nice tea!" He yelled from the kitchen towards the second floor. Snickering at Duke watching him with his fork mid air and his mouth open, pasta falling to the floor.

Cass just nodded at him, smiling knowingly. He thought of stopping when she was in the same room as him... But Jason didn't have to try anymore, it came naturally. As if he had always meant to call him that. And sometimes the word came before he had even thought of saying it.

He would still enjoy his siblings reactions though.

And Bruce? Bruce felt like crying every time his baby said that word.

[ilovemybruciewayne]

The family started to worry Jason was getting WAY too comfortable with the title.

Red Hood, throwing a stone at Batman's back: I had it all under control, dad!! I didn't need you to intervene!

Superman, surprised Pikachu face:

Nightwing, gasping for air: What the fu~ck

Batman, mid interrogation: Hood, verify.

Red Hood, pressing buttons on the computer screen: I don't understand why we are wasting our time, dad. He's obviously lying to protect his boss.

Cass Batgirl, tired voice: ...Hood...

Batman: Why do they always react like that?

Red Hood, shrugging: Don't know. That's what you needed?

Batman, checking inside: Yes. Everything is here... Dinner?

Red Hood: Dinner.

Batgirl, looking at Harvey: Can you -?

Two Face: Someone hit it with the bat?

Batgirl:

Red Hood:

Batman:

Two Face: There's a chance for us-?

Batgirl, hand in chopping position behind unconscious Harvey's neck: You need to stop, Hood.

Batgirl, hanging from Bruce's neck: Let's go home. Dad.

Red Hood, pointing: Hey! Stop that!

Tim, in comms: I hate this family.

Dick, next to him, sniffing: He loves being called dad!

[robs-your-robins]

Do you all ever wonder if the Rogues ever get together to complain about Batman after patrol? I mean, yes, they're all rivals for the Bat's attention but they also have similar experiences with Batman on a bad day so, they have to get together to complain. For @lost-my-gender-in-the-war

The Riddler, entering the Iceberg Lounge: Batman fucking yelled at me today.

Penguin, shaking cocktails: What did you do?

The Riddler: Why do you assume I did something?

Harley: Show your work.

Bane, entering the lounge and pointing at The Riddler: Nygma, it was my night with the Bat!

Scarecrow, muttering: And I get yelled at for stealing time slots.

Penguin: He's right, Ed. It was Bane's night. Check the timetable.

The Riddler: I literally didn't do anything. I was headed here, I stopped to get the nuts you asked for and just happened to walk past and I literally just said Hi to Spoiler and Red Robin and then Big Bat told me to fuck off.

Bane: I had him pinned under a car, begging for mercy-

Ivy: OK now I'm calling bullshit because Bats doesn't beg-

Selina: I beg to differ but-

Bane: And we were just at that point, you know, getting to when he's about to give it his all-

Harley: Somewhere the Joker is after perking up

Bane: - and then he wasn't in the mood any more!

Khoa: Been there.

Bane: Edward ruined my moment!

The Riddler: I just said Hi to the kids, man. Spoiler waved. What was I going to do? Snub her?

Two-Face: Yeah, Bats is a little touchy around the kids these days.

Zsasz: Deathstroke is in town.

Harley:

Ivy:

Scarecrow:

Selina:

Khoa:

Two-Face:

The Riddler:

The Penguin:

Bane: Edward, our feud is on hold as it were. We must ensure the Bat's birds can fly safely.

The Penguin: Hold on. I spent $70 on ingredients.

Khoa: So what? We're going to let Deathstroke be around Bats' kids?

Penguin: No, I'm just saying if Ivy doesn't protest, I have plastic take out cups. We can bash Deathstroke and still have cocktail hour.

Ivy: Are they bio-degradeable?

Penguin: Recyclable.

Ivy: Let's go.

[thegeekproblem]

Okay, hear me out, Bruce so wrapped in grief after Jason's death he stops eating, he hides in his bedroom for days without moving from his bed, and if he does leave is only to the cave, he stops being batman and when he does go out like batman he's violent and suicidal (an exaggerated version of canon).

Tim notices this and like canon goes to search Dick first to ask him to be robin again. Dick's not sure about it and goes to the manor and finds Bruce completely dissociated from reality in his bed and it worries him. He stays a couple of days patrolling the city as nightwing but it doesn't get better, Bruce has awful nightmares every night and even Alfred is worried.

Alfred and Dick are so worried that they search for an alternative: erase Jason's existence from Bruce's memory. They contact the JL and the JL is so worried about batman that they agree to do it. Clark is the only one that doesn't think it's right and refuses at the beginning until Dick begs him to do it because he's afraid of loosing another parent.

So, Dick and Alfred pick every single picture of Jason, his books, all of the memories from the manor, and seal Jason's room. It helps that Jason was buried beside her bio mum in Gotham cemetery and not in the family plot on the manor grounds. They erase every single case Jason worked on from the batcomputer, every file is put under the best security, his robin suit (different from Dick's) is put under lock, every newspaper article is archived, and it's easy to do this because Bruce hasn't left his bedroom in days.

Dick takes Martian Manhunter to Bruce and one look at the both of them Bruce knows. Bruce begs them to not do it, to please let him keep his son at least in his memories. Dick feels guilty, he's never seen his father beg. Alfred doesn't say anything, he can't watch his own son die. It's no use, they erase Bruce's memories and alter some others, they replace the second robin with nightwing in his mind to not make Bruce suspicious because he's not the World's Greatest Detective for nothing and erasing 4 years from his memory will make red flags pop.

The next day Bruce is back to normal.

Tim thinks it weird and goes looking for Dick again demanding to know what he did. Dick tells him and Tim understands but he says he wants to be kept in the known or he will tell Bruce. Dick thinks Tim has spunk and likes him so he agrees. Later, Dick realizes about Tim's living situation and tells Bruce which leads him to be adopted.

Years pass and then a new figure appears in Gotham, a rogue that seems to predict Bruce's every move: The Red Hood.

A/N: i don't know if in this au tim becomes robin, maybe he does but maybe not? because there's no grief that's killing bruce or anything like that. i was watching the new anime of fruits basket because i'd only read the manga back in the day and this came to my mind like a fucking truck ready to crush me into tiny pieces (i also remembered a similar plot in tvd, i think it was season 6? with elena making herself forget damon). the image of bruce crying and begging not to forget jason killed me. just imagine bruce not understanding why the library in the manor makes him sad, or why he seems to look out for a teenager in the mansion when dick hasn't lived with him for a while, or waking up from a nightmare he can't remember crying and feeling desolate and wondering why.

[nikiexe0]

[butterflywordsmith]

Okay but... picture that they missed a spot. This Red Hood situation is getting out of hand.

One day, Bruce is in his office at W.E. and opens a compartment that requires a retina scan. There's important documents, passports etc. And in it, a copy of Jason's guardianship papers, a picture with Jason, Bruce and Dick on an odd day where everything was good. A funny note from Jason that Bruce kept. And Bruce goes investigating and ends up at Jason's school and talking to his teacher.

Bruce is confused and distressed.

He is furious.

He leaves no stone unturned.

He sends Alfred on vacation.

He tells Dick he's out of town.

He takes a look at Tim and knows that he knows SOMETHING, only telling him to stay out of the way.

He ransacked the Manor and found everything. His hands shake when he finally holds the pictures in his hands, Jason's Robin suit is also found. He breaks back into his computer and finds the files.

How ARROGANT can someone be to think he didnt have back ups of back ups no one else had access to?

And he's not an idiot.

Tim is cornered and questioned relentlessly and by the time he shares what he knows he's storming the Watchtower, raising Hell.

And before he demands to get his memories restored he asks one burning question.

"Did I ask for this?"

The silence is damning.

And Dick has no idea what's about to happen.

[occasionalauthoring]

And that's the catalyst. Bruce sends them away, locks everyone out of everything, exacts every contingency built to keep people (Kryptonians, Amazons, everyone) out, and tears his life apart. From Brucie, to Bruce himself, then to Batman.

Some things start to make a terrifying amount of sense. The Red Hood. Who knows Batman so well. Who can predict his every move. Who has a deep seated, personal reason for hating him. Who... cares about Gotham with the same fire Bruce wrote about in the diary no one knew he had.

The Red Hood expected a big, dramatic showdown, with the Joker, and a gun, and an 'impossible' choice, not pounding fists on his door, and a spooked goon waiting behind it. Didn't expect the words "Bruce Wayne, boss. He's here." Didn't expect to be led downstairs, didn't expect to find the Prince of Gotham himself pacing the entryway, looking like he's about to keel over, or spring at someone.

"Mr Wayne," he drawls, covering up how Bruce's presence unsettles him. Won't give him the win.

"Take off the helmet."

"Sorry?"

"Take it off."

So Jason takes it off. Decides screw it, if Bruce wants to do this in civvies, they can do it in civvies, but curses the man for his control issues, how everything has to be on his terms.

"You're Jason, aren't you?" The question is loaded with emotion, and a detachment Jason had expected. After all, you can't expect anything from a man that forgot you at the earliest opportunity.

He peels off the domino too, ignoring his men's uneasy shifting on the outskirts off the room. Bruce gasps, pales a bit more, and, abruptly, crumples. "How could they— Why would they make me forget you? How could they do this?" And Jason just stares as Bruce loses it on his floor, not making any sense. One of his men doesn't last long, darts to Bruce's side, trying to comfort him, and when Jason glares, he gets a "don't be heartless boss, it's your da" that seems to make things worse as Bruce cries harder.

And it's like he said. Bruce is the Prince of Gotham. His other men don't last either, before they're scooting past Jason to help Bruce into a chair, getting him water, offering to call a cab, trying to calm him down, until his tears are silent, and he's left glaring at the floor.

"What did you mean." Silence. "What did you mean, make you forget?"

"Dick. Alfred. The others. They got J— they got someone to wipe my memory. Make me forget you. Make me forget my grief. Took all your stuff. Hid it. Everything. Made me forget my son."

Jason is in shock. He doesn't want to believe. But he knows Bruce's tells, he isn't lying. Not when he glances up and croaks "can I hug you?" he's not lying then either. He nods, before he can tell his body no, and Bruce stumbles up to him.

Wraps him in a hug Jason doesn't return, arms hanging at his sides, and, with Batman's conviction, swears "I'll find a way to remember" before dragging himself away, stumbling back out of Jason's base. His goons watch, waiting, processing that their boss is Wayne's boy, the one Gotham collectively held a vow of silence on, per Dick Grayson and Alfred Pennyworth's request, to respect his father's grief.

"Change in plans" Jason announces, voice trembling with rage. He's not going after his father. Not anymore. He's going after everything else.

Part 1

Imagine if like the bad kids think that Bruce is not that alone bc he has the justice league. Like he has Clark, Diana, even Barry, so he is not that alone right? He has plans for his birthday, it’s okay to not plan anything this year. One of his friends will likely make him something.

However, dick finally becomes a member of the justice league. They don’t really know that his Batman’s son, and he doesn’t tell anyone.

Then he suddenly walks into a conversation that he shouldn’t be hearing. They ask him if he’s annoyed at Batman as they are. Those JL members he has admired his whole life were talking shit about the person he loves the most in this world. But the thing is that even though they used to be the reason he truly believed in good. It made him crumble when he realized that his dad did not have friends. That he just have them. He he never thought of correcting them when they called those people his friends.

And he cannot understand how the most caring and loving person he’s ever met doesn’t have friends.

Part 2

[gothstarbat]

Bruce Wayne is a pretty crier.

It's unfair, a scandal, a misery for everyone involved.

Because the man already had it all: money, power, looks, a heart.

Now you're telling me that instead of turning into a snotty mess when sad he looks like modeling for some expensive perfume?

Alfred has become immune to those eyes with the pass of the time, although he still falls sometimes, it's his kids who have to practically cover their eyes when Bruce cries during a discussion while trying to reassure him blindingly, because once they look at him they know they will fold down like a tower of wet tissues and fall to his demands.

The Justice League don't know what to do at the start, because apart from looking like a cologne ad he also is silent, standing like a statue at the middle of the meeting room while tears wetted his rosy cheeks, making his icy eyes pop; with time they learned to just not say anything and instead hug him until the flow stopped.

It's also his greatest weapon during galas. Get drunk, make someone he hates mad, cry, and leave. He can scape the dancing part while also ostracizing whoever has made Brucie Wayne cry. Win win.

But the greatest victim to those wet kitten eyes?

The rogues.

Who wouldn't want to tell all their secrets to the dumb Prince of the city? Specially when he comes crying to their doorsteps because someone has been "mean" to him and he just wants a place to drink and rest.

It's his main way of gathering information.

Not that anyone would find out.

The Underworld has tight lips for their favourite customer.

[lilangryhuman]

returning to the topic of Bruce as a real bat from this post

an alternative scenario, in which the Waynes are not vampires, but bats-shifters let's say there are very few people like them, so they keep it somewhat secret

so let's imagine that young Bruce doesn't sleep for several nights in a row because of a difficult case, and when he closes it, instead of resting, he gets business matters in Metropolis, which prevent him from even dozing off during the trip So in the evening, finally leaving the conference room of some business center, Bruce goes out onto the balcony for just a couple of minutes to get some air, hoping that this will allow him to hold out a little longer But instead, he subconsciously turns into a bat and clings to the ledge under the air conditioner, immediately falling asleep

remember that slightly smaller than usual battinson bat? I like the idea that maybe Bruce is a little smaller than average in animal form due to age and other circumstances

so Clark returns from his own patrol and accidentally hears this high-pitched sound that humans can't hear as a guy who already rescues cats from trees, of course he finds this cute sleeping bat in an unusual place and starts to worry because this is definitely not a place for hibernation and anyway, aren't bats supposed to have a colony or something? Clark tries to hear similar sounds, but without success, and he just can't leave this little winged puppy whose nose sticks out so cutely between its wings

So, before any of the building's employees notice, Clark carefully picks up the bat (wondering why it doesn't wake up), puts it in his cape pocket, and flies away

Bruce wakes up so well rested that his body feels numb and pleasantly tingly, he has probably never slept so well before. So his first problem is that he is in someone else's apartment The second is that he is wrapped in Superman's cape, and for some reason this stupid rag feels nice to the touch

Batman and Superman have met before, but they had a very cool and distrustful relationship at the time, so Bruce is going through a particularly intense personal crisis when he sees the familiar reporter coming out of the kitchen without his glasses and with those annoying curls falling in a cascade over his forehead

and then Bruce also realizes that he cannot turn into a human in front of him under any circumstances and the bigger problem is that Bruce cannot just fly out the window

due to the early death of his parents, Bruce never learned to fly there was simply no one around who could teach him

So, when Clark approaches the cute little bundle wrapped in his own cape, reaching out with a gentle smile and saying “Hi-” Bruce has no choice but to hiss loudly, twitching his ears and staring menacingly at the man

For some reason, Superman is not frightened by the fiery gaze of the huge black eyes, and his smile doesn't disappear, even though he withdraws his hand

“If I was wrong and you're okay, I won't force you to stay, of course”

Bruce snorts, as if a real bat could understand all this politeness

But Clark carefully unties his own cape and Bruce just as aggressively falls from the sofa to the floor and crawls along it, clinging to the old carpet with his claws

The open window is close enough to reach, but Bruce can't quite get to it so he hides under the dresser standing under that very window and plans his escape as soon as the man leaves the room or at least turns away

His head is buzzing from the noise of the city, the noisy people around him, the neighbors in the apartment next door who seem to be getting divorced, the crying of a child from another apartment on the side, the noise of the TV from the apartment above

There was not a single familiar sound around him, or anything to divert his attention, and somewhere in his chest, the desire to curl up into a ball was burning

Suddenly, he is distracted by the quiet clatter of a bowl of strawberries and bananas landing on the floor nearby, along with the man who patiently sits down and smiles again

“I guess all this noise is too much for you. I think I can understand when hearing too much seems like a curse”

Bruce wants to hiss again, but the man's quieter, lower baritone somehow vibrates pleasantly in his ears

Bruce hates even more that he hasn't eaten since morning, and the sight of the fruit offered makes him even hungrier

So Bruce gets stuck with Clark for a while, because the man absolutely refuses to just leave the animal in trouble and therefore takes a couple of days off and takes the bat with him everywhere, hiding it inside his clothes when necessary

Bruce refuses to admit that this is not the worst situation he has ever been in

Superman, as expected, does everything he can to save the puppy he found, and to Bruce's horror, seems ready to even help it “hibernate” if necessary and release it in the spring

When Bruce tries to contact Alfred using Clark's phone left on the couch, the man finds a bat staring charmingly like 🥺 at the smartphone screen, clicking its claws at it to no avail

Of course, Superman quickly notices that his bat cannot fly, so he carefully examines Bruce's wings, placing him on his lap and spreading his wings with both hands (Bruce hisses, bites, and whines, promising to put kryptonite right on his claws) So, one quiet night, Superman takes the bat with him and unexpectedly teaches him to fly, catching him every time he falls

When Alfred finally appears at the doorstep of the reporter's apartment with a completely impassive expression and the phrase, “I'm afraid, sir, you've found something I have to collect, Bruce is lying on Clark's head and thinking how bold it would be on his part to return to this apartment every evening before patrols just to keep an eye on Superman, nothing more

definitely not to sleep on his huge chest in the starfish position

and definitely not to steal the young man's pies

and certainly not just to listen to his pleasant baritone voice

And when Bruce is ready to reveal his identity, he can call Superman with this specific bat-like voice that no other person can hear except Clark🥺
