Summary
Cassie Montclair was raised to protect the family name, not to question what it was built on; her father had carefully curated her and her brother's lives to ensure it. When Gotham's systemic rot becomes exposed by a sadistic serial killer, the Riddler, her family's name starts to burn.
Bruce Wayne had always kept her at arm's length, even though they had known each other their entire lives. He had spent years overwhelmed in grief by his parents' murders, and only two things gave him purpose anymore: the Batman and the woman he wasn't allowed to have.
As they try to find the Riddler and the rat in a drug bust case, the truth burns hotter than either of them can survive, only making clear one truth: in Gotham, secrets never stay buried.

Summary
Hal Jordan was many things, but a parent was certainly not one of them. But when there's a runaway, semi-traumatized miniature assassin living in his house, he really doesn't have a choice.
Or
Arguments were not uncommon in the Wayne Manor. Neither was the occasional radio silence from one of Bruce's kids. But this...this was different. They always came back, always called. But Damian was nowhere to be seen, nowhere to be found. Not to mention, he'd cleaned out his entire bedroom.
Whether he'd intended to or not, Bruce had driven a deeper wedge between he and his son than before. And now, he'll do anything he can to fix it. Even if it means treating Hal Jordan, the one person in the world Damian seems to respect, with some form of dignity.

Summary
It’s like static in his throat that he can’t turn off. Heavy grief evaporating his words. Everywhere he goes, cameras and pitying eyes follow.
Words have power, and he lost his.OR, snapshots of Bruce's life with selective/situational mutism after his parents died.
[Edit] I'm really sorry, but I'm going to rewrite this. I want this to explore Bruce's arc, grief and SM, and it's just too fast and I think I'm missing a lot of important details on serious topics.
Not sure how long it's gonna be to get this done, so, sorry about this again.
Thank you to everyone who's followed this so far, I really appreciate all of you. -

Summary
"Gonna leave without saying anything? I thought we had a meeting?"
Bruce swallowed thickly, forcing his heartbeat to stay regular and refusing to give away that anything was wrong as he said, "An emergency came up. Congrats, Clark."
The man beamed, smiling wide as he chuckled, "Have fun with your emergency. Maybe we can talk later? There's something I wanna ask you."
"I'm swamped these next couple months, just shoot me an email," Bruce suggested, knowing full well that he was going to avoid Clark and the League until the wedding was over and done with. Maybe then he wouldn't feel heartbroken anymore and his chest would squeeze in pain at the idea of Clark never being his.
