A/N: This fic is based on my own personal experience with having fibromyalgia. I might make other versions with other characters that I enjoy.
Warnings: if it’s triggering to read about a chronic illness please turn away now. Not being listened to by a medical professional.
Batsis POV
Late in life fibromyalgia diagnosis was one of the best moments in my life. It made me feel like I wasn’t crazy. It took me ten years but I got there!!
My family however was the one who seemed to be the most shocked.
“But, you’re so young. Why? How?” -Dick
“So like, you’re nerves get on your own nerves? So it’s not me?!” - Jason
“Want the heating pad? Wait does that even help, would Ice be better?!……” -Tim
“See I knew you weren’t faking it!! We should sue your old pediatrician” - Alfred
“You’ve been suffering in silence for how long? Why have you never told me?” - Bruce
“Tt you could’ve told me when it hurts” - Damien
You and your family were figuring out what helped eased your pain and what made it worse.
I started taking the meds that my doctor gave me, and they helped me manage much better than before, but when I missed a mid day dose, I paid the price. That’s what no one talks about is even with medicine and treatments, it didn’t take my pain away, it just made it more bearable.
Bruce and I had a talk about a lot of the pain I’ve been hiding for years. how I felt most of my pain in my spine, which unfortunately meant my nerves all over we’re feeling the same sensation, some days I felt it in my lower body the most. Mainly the hips making walking feel almost unbearable.I also felt it in my hands too, which made doing beauty school seem like a terrible decision but I loved it. But the issue with having pain in your hands was holding a holding implements hard. So that was fun.
But I told him I didn’t want them to treat me differently, if I needed help I would ask. But did my family listen? no, of course not.
Tim did a deep dive into ways to help alleviate pain, or at least help manage.
Dick wanted to hover, but had to be in his city for work. But he called daily to check in.
Bruce helped you find the perfect back brace, along with compression gloves, a XL heating pad. and really anything you needed.
Jason? hes dramatic on your behalf, he will carry me down the stairs, will take whatever I a holding claiming its too much for me to carry.
Damien took it upon himself to add more padding to the mats in the bat cave, he will buy grips for my pens, he bought a massage cane, he does yoga with me.
their love can be annoying, but they mean to do good, even if its annoying sometimes.
Can I request Damian Wayne x ftm reader like how he would react and how it would be like dating him?? 🥺
Damien Wayne x ftm Reader
!warnings if reading about a transgender reader, offends you in any way. Keep scrolling!
Damien was probably a little shocked by you telling him you were trans. He just saw you as well you, but he did have many questions. Given his upbringing in the league it’s probably not often that the LGBTQ+ was brought up in his teachings.
So he was curious, and he might’ve come off as abrasive or rude when asking. So you had to check if he was being curious or trying to be mean, sometimes. But he’s gotten better.
But after that dating him wasn’t all that scary, surprisingly.
He was sweet with you
Until you “borrowed” one of his clothing/accessories items
“That is mine Y/N!!! But you do look quite handsome/adorable with it. You may borrow it for now”
Him being supper supportive of any changes you wanted to or didn’t want to make. It made no difference to him, as long as you were happy.
Him being your shoulder on days dysmorphia was hitting a little more.
Dates were relaxed and often after school, meaning lots of time in the manor
Him being affectionate in his own ways. After affirming what pet names you are most comfortable with. And if you are comfortable with physical affection.
Sometimes giving you his scarf, gloves, or beanie because his is “warmer”. And him not having a back up pair with him.
Spending lots of time with Titus and Alfred the cat.
Sometimes jokingly telling him you like Titus more than him
Him ready to go to war with anyone who disrespects you, for any reason really. Even if it’s not for people being transphobic, the boy is ready to throw down.
Him apologizing if he feels he offended you with accidentally misgendering you.
His family thinks you two are just adorable
“Aww look the demon found an angel”-jason
“Todd, don’t”
You just sitting there and sometimes laughing with his brothers
Him trying to sit on your lap sometimes
“Dami I love you, but you are a giant! And you’re kinda crushing me”
“Beloved i believe it’s not a secret, that I have been crushing on you”
You guys just being cute and a functional couple.
Some would say that two puzzle pieces have been matched, after seeing you two together.
Talia wasn’t happy at first, but even she could deny the connection you two shared.
Also Damien was willing to fight his mom if she decided not to like you.
Can I request a batfam x reader where the reader comes out as asexual and is scared Duck won’t accept them so they tell Jason first and he gives them advice? Thank you so much, sorry if it’s too specific.
Batfam x Asexual!Reader
A/N: I do apologize for any errors, I don’t have anyone check them before they are posted. But I hope you enjoy reading it all the same!!
Warnings: some cursing, homophobia? maybe just in case.
Being friends with Dick meant that you spent a lot of time at the manor, Bruce took you under his cape. But that also came with the family making jokes about when you would get a partner, or Jason would crack jokes about making sure you had condoms on the ready, or a ‘condom cloud’.
Dick has been your best friend for a long time, the one you could tell anything. well almost everything, you haven’t told him that you’re asexual, why haven’t you told him? well because you’re scared that he won’t accept you, or that he might do what others have and make rude or insensitive comments.
not that you thought Dick was an insensitive man, you once saw him cry after he killed a fly, or when he went to a pride parade to celebrate the legalization of gay marriage. But even though you know he is very supportive of the lgbt+, but you have been told you’re confused by people who claim to be allies of the lgbt+ community.
so you went to the only person you knew would just give you an honest opinion n: Jason. That’s what lead to you being on his couch with a cup of your favorite beverage, with Jason giving his drama queen face.
“so you’re worried Dick is going to reject you for being yourself?”
“it wouldn’t be the first time, I’ve had many people who were ‘good friends’ and they were rude and inconsiderate. or made some harmful comments about it”
“But you know who dick is, he wouldn’t hurt you intentionally, and this would be a good method to teach him if he says anything wrong. what’s the worse that could happen?”
“do you really want me to go there?”
he nods
“ he tells me that i’m confused, or that i haven't found the right person, or even worse he could say i just need to try it”
Jason jaw dropped
“people have said that to you!! i need names and now!!!”
“ it was a long time ago now, i just need your advice on how to approach Dick with this news. i don’t want to completely blindside him”
“You won’t, he has always had a feeling something about you was different, we were raised by the greatest detective. He won’t hurt your feelings, if he does i kill him”
cue laughs from both of you, you headed back out. you had a get together with Dick that night.
after gathering your wits you looked at dick
“I have something I need to tell you”
he shifted and gave you his full attention
“of course I’m all ears”
“ I’m... I’m asexual”
he nodded and took in this information
“ so what does that mean exactly? I’m super happy you told me, and I want to know more about it”
“you aren’t going to make fun of me? or tell me that i just need to try?”
“NO!!! of course not! You are you, no matter your sexual orientation, or how you choose to identify. you are valid.”
you had relaxed, he wasn't going to try and convince you otherwise or stop talking to you.
you two just spent the night talking about what being asexual meant to you, and explaining that it was a spectrum and not a one size fits all. and eventually you both passed out in the living room.
