Summary
Shortly after he returned to patrolling the streets, startling tremors began. Cracks sprouted, tearing through the ground, while tectonic plates shifted. Bruce immediately put the batcave on lockdown, reaching out and swiftly pulling all the vigilantes back in— almost all.
———-
It wasn’t getting any better out in Gotham, in fact worse. In the distance it looked like a vibrant sand storm had formed, except there was no sand— just dirt, debris, and the occasional lighting. The erratic electricity pulsed through it, illuminated whatever was unfortunate enough to get tangled in there.
Damian swerved through what was left of the roads, using everything he had, though evidently he knew it wasn’t gonna be enough. It was enveloping Gotham in milliseconds, maybe even the whole world— but he sure as hell wasn't gonna be a part of it.
-----
The bat-family, along with a few others have to survive, and save the world from the plague Darkseid unleashed. While Damian is seperated from his family, he finds something- or rather someone- that could give them the answers.

Summary
Tim had patched up Jason after Bruce slit his throat with a Batarang.
Jason had offered Tim a place to stay after his sixteenth birthday.
They were brothers in a world that had left them behind. They were brothers in a world that had been cruelly unfair time and time. They were brothers in a world that hadn’t given much else.
So when Bruce nearly beat Jason to death, uncaring that his son had only shot Penguin with a blank? Tim did what he had to do.

Summary
Basically 3 times Tim did something for Dick to show his love but failed spectacularly at it, and 1 time Dick saw him do it for someone else.
The fic where baby Tim does household chores to help Dick because he's a depressed disaster but he loves him, Dick can't cope, and Jason wishes the little gremlin would stop messing with his things because he can do his own laundry, thank you very much, he doesn't need a freshman redecorating his safehouses!
