    Summary

    Bruce Wayne is many things.

    He's an orphan.A traumatised boy who since the murder of his parents has then grew up into an angry man with too many issues to count.

    To the public eye, Bruce Wayne is a brilliant buisness man, compassionate and hard-working but he is also a playboy, an airhead, just another rich boy lost in his own bubble.

    In private, Bruce Wayne is the caped crusader, the dark knight, the protector of the innocent.

    To the people closest to him, he's a hardass, stubbornly set in his ways and relentlessly hard working.

    Bruce Wayne is many things.

    A father is not one of them.

    Or at least that's what he tells himself.

    ~~~

    Everyone knows Bruce Wayne is a father. Except Bruce Wayne.

    He'll catch on eventually.

    Summary

    He opened the door, flowers in hand, and made his way out into the cool Gotham air, tugging the fitted suit away from his neck and trying not to think of the past few weeks. The graveyard was empty when he arrived. No one to see Bruce’s downcast eyes, no one to comment on the improper way he held himself.
    There was always going to be a hole in Bruce’s heart. He had known it for years—his parents had taken a large portion of it that not even becoming Batman had managed to fill (although he had certainly tried).
    He just never thought taking a street kid in would lead to this.

     

    Basically, I had the horrible thought of 'What if Jason never came back to life, and he died thinking Bruce hated him?'
    And then I made it infinitely worse.

    Summary

    Robin jolts out of the pain-fog. Panics – they’re waiting for him to answer.
    One more second goes by. He is NOT going to be the first player to lose.
    Damnit – beautiful, beautiful…
    Nothing. He’s forgotten the whole English language.
    C’mon, c’mon—
    “Starfire,” he says.

    During a word association game, Robin says something he can't take back.

    (Written for Day 5 of RobStar Week 2025. Based on the prompt “beautiful.”)
