yesterday i spent an hour in the shower talking to myself about how I think a reverse robins au would go, mainly in the case of Tim taking Jasons place as the revived second robin. I took the Joker Junior thing and decided "Hm.. yes, this is how Tim dies."

I have many thoughts about it.

Basically, Tim's 15, has been Robin for almost two years, when his dad dies. Like in canon, Tim makes a very strategic plan which could lead to the murderers death, but Batman finds out and Tim doesn't enact it. Bruce is still mad about it, and Tim storms out the manor to go visit his dad's grave. While on the way, he gets kidnapped by the Joker and he's tortured for three weeks because Bruce thinks he's just being an angry teen giving the silent treatment. By the time he realises something is wrong and goes to find Tim, the boy is already dead. After shooting the Joker, he shot himself, and Harley Quinn is no where to be found.

Then, six months after being buried, he wakes up in his grave, right besides his father. He digs out, is found by Talia, and taken to be trained. With Jason, Ra's didn't want to heal him and Talia did it without permission, but in this au, Talia is the one who doesn't want to heal him. She thinks he's too similar to Bruce, and that she won't be able to trick him. Ra's thinks he can. He's wrong, of course.

Instead of reclaiming the name Red Hood, Tim decides to stay as Junior. After all, he was extremely mentally unstable before his death, so i think he'd still be suffering fron the torture and think Batman = bad, Joker = good. After a little while, he manages to recover a bit, but he's still mad at Bruce.

Jason forgave Bruce for not saving him, but was angry he didn't get justice.

Tim forgave Bruce for not getting him justice, but he's angry he didn't get saved.

Tim comes back to Gotham and is a lot more sneaky with his crimes. Red Hood came in guns a-blazing, straight away starting to clean Gotham up, but Junior is much more behind the scenes. If the criminals decided to do good, they'd live. It's not his fault the house they broke in to had rabid dogs squatting in it, or that their hard drives were suddenly copied and shared to everyone they knew.

Instead of attacking the new Robin, he kidnaps her instead. Sends Batman cryptic messages like "better find her soon or she'll end up like the last bird" or "you should keep a better eye on your things, Batsy". Bruce is tearing Gotham apart searching for Stephanie, thinking she's being tortured by a Joker wannabe, when actually she's just being forced to sit through slideshows about the dangers of being a child soldier and told annoying knock-knock jokes over burgers.

I might write a fic about this 🤭

Reverse Robin AU where Duke was the first to be adopted by Bruce and Dick was the last. Explanation + alt versions under readmore:

Flats:

Lineart:

Bruce Wayne aka Batman

Emotionally distanced father figure to all of his kids.

Due to his first few children being more or less child soldiers, he sometimes has a hard time recognizing them for themselves and not what they were molded into.

Handles grief by going on patrol more.

Duke Thomas aka Lark

Primary weapon: Modified escrima sticks

His parents were Jokerized when he was young in one of the Joker's senseless attacks. Due to this, he was placed into foster care.

He runs away a lot in order to get revenge on the Joker and kill him. Bruce steps in when he gets dangerously close to the Joker's hideout one day.

Bruce ends up fostering, not soon after adopting Duke, in an attempt to show him revenge is not the way.

Duke ends up training under Batman to more or less channel his frustrations and to learn. He never took on a name but he was dubbed Batman's shadow or Shadow.

He becomes the first leader of the Teen Titans when he is an older teenager.

After growing up and having a less than stellar relationship with Bruce, Duke leaves for Bludhaven to become his own hero. He takes on the mantle of Lark (named after specifically western meadowlark).

Him and Bruce primarily fight about Bruce's inability to be a father and relying on his adopted children to more or less raise each other, causing a lot of in fighting and eventual death.

He struggles with maintaining the hero life, effecting him in his relationships and teams as wears on him.

In addition, Duke rarely will interact with Bruce one on one since Damian died, each time a sibling or friend died he grows more distant.

His powders develop soon after and he struggles with them but learns to handle them quickly.

He becomes a beloved hero and is commonly seen helping the Justice League.

He is a very caring and gentle older brother however he also supports his siblings doing dangerous things since it "builds character" and "we're vigilantes, who cares about laws anyways."

Does not quite agree with Bruce's mission and feels he is too lenient on criminals

Damian Wayne aka Magpie

Primary weapon: Katana sword

Damian was raised in the League of Assassins since his birth. He was given to Bruce in order for him to further his training.

Bruce refused to let Damian go back to the League and takes him permanently. He comes a little under a year since Bruce has taken Duke into his care.

Damian ends up taking up the name Shadow as well while under Batman, training and working alongside Duke.

Struggles finding himself when he only sees himself in Batman's shadow.

After Cassandra is adopted next, he leaves Batman and returns to the League of Assassins in an attempt to understand his place among both family lineages. He tries to reform the League but fails, leading his mother to assume control.

He ends up dying due to Talia, the first of Bruce's children but he is resurrected by the Lazarus Pits. It is unclear who resurrected him however his current goal to is to find out who and why.

He returns to Gotham and takes on the name Magpie (specifically the Eurasian Magpie). He operates generally alone.

Cassandra Cain aka Shadow

Primary weapon: Fists

Cassandra is initially discovered by Minhkhoa Khan (Ghost Maker) after she escapes from David Cain in an attempt to find herself and own path.

Khoa offered to train her and she accepted. However gifted Cass was and how well she fought alongside Khoa, their morals were too drastically different. Cass refused to kill under Khoa despite understanding why he does it.

Khoa ends up realizing Cass is a lost cause for himself and rather than letting such talent go to waste, he takes her to Bruce since their morals align and he can take up such a child.

Cass is then under the care of Bruce however she is primarily raised by Duke and Damian as Bruce still struggles with balancing all aspects of his life.

She is the third adopted child of Bruce.

Cass never officially takes on any name however most people call her Shadow like previous Batman sidekicks.

She is close with Stephanie when she comes into the family both times.

She fights with Barbra a lot, having a complicated relationship with her.

Stephanie Brown aka Black Mask

Primary weapon: Guns

Stephanie is never adopted by Bruce.

She comes to a part of the bat family through Cass. Cass tries and stops her as she is currently going out in Gotham as Spoiler to stop her father Clue Master.

Cass helps her stop her father and is more or less taken in by Bruce.

She ends up training under him and takes on the mantle of Shadow as Damian is gone and Duke has recently become Lark.

Due to simple bad luck, she ends up causing a massive gang war in Crime Alley. All attempts to stop it go horrific, leading her to eventual death by Black Mask.

Steph is somehow brought back to life a few months later (unclear as to how, however it is suspected to have some connection with The Black)

She realizes that Batman has done nothing for change to how he raises children or sidekicks as Gotham is even worse than before her death. She ends up killing Black Mask as revenge, leaving his severed head to be found by Batman personally.

She ends up taking over Black Mask's name and is primarily protecting Crime Alley.

Steph ends up meeting Bruce's newest kid not soon after, Tim, the newest Shadow. However Tim is able to convince Black Mask to reform so Batman doesn't strike down on her. Tim discovers that Black Mask is in fact Stephanie and is able to convince her to not only change her ways but return to the family. She however does not leave the name behind.

Tim Drake

Primary weapon: Bo staff

His parents weren't around much due to travels however that didn't stop Tim from finding his own path. He primarily travels to inner Gotham in attempt to learn more about it's protectors. It's more so a passing interest that leads him to finding out their identities.

Tim notices that Batman has begun to act erratic in Gotham soon after he figures out his identity. He discovers that his second oldest son is missing (currently resurrected by not yet returned) and that his newest sidekick, the third Shadow has died.

Tim attempts to help Batman however in his search to get Batman better without him knowing, he is caught up in a situation with the rouge Captain Boomerang. He flees back to him home but Captain Boomerang follows and ends up killing Tim's parents to get to him.

Batman is too late to the scene to help Tim's parents but saves Tim himself.

He adopts Tim but doesn't reveal his identity. Bruce continues to act more erratic as Batman and Tim reveals he knows he's Batman and needs a Shadow or else Gotham will fall to chaos.

He becomes the next Shadow and soon after discovers Steph is alive as Black Mask. He helps her return to the family.

Damian also returns to Gotham finally, him and Tim however have a poor relationship and tend to have violent fights due to Bruce's differing treatment between them.

Tim ends up taking on the name of Red Hawk when Jason is adopted after him.

Tim primarily operates in Gotham however he is not overly close to any of family members other than Stephanie and Cass.

He ends up spending time with the League with Damian for some time after he becomes Red Hawk in order to find Bruce who is lost in the time stream. He has a strained relationship with the League.

Jason Todd aka Shrike

Primary weapon: Knives

Adopted by Bruce after he attempts to steal the Batmobile tires.

Jason ends up thriving under the care of Bruce and getting to live the childhood he was deprived of. However Bruce is struggling since Jason is the first of his kids he doesn't have help with raising. All of his other children have left the mansion and have become their own heros.

Jason does know that Bruce is Batman after being told by his siblings but has no desire to follow in his footsteps. Steph and Tim, backed by Damian, encourage him to become Shadow to better bond with Bruce but also to help stop Bruce's deteriorating mental state. He begrudgingly accepts.

Soon after he discovers his birth mom is alive. Jason tries to get his siblings to help him with his personal mission but they either ignore his requests or state that he is Shadow, he will be fine.

He leaves without any backup and ends up falling in a trap set by the Joker. He is tortured and then later murdered by an bomb set by the Joker. Bruce is too late in tracking him down and cannot save him.

Jason is later revived by Superboy Prime reality altering punch. He is soon found the League of Assassins and is placed into the Lazarus Pit. He is kept at Nanda Parbat and trained there.

Ra's al Ghul tries to use the possibility of Jason being alive to lure Damian and/or Tim back to the League to be the next heir once Jason is fairly stable.

Side note, Tim and Damian do in fact meet Jason in the League but he has not been put into the pits yet. They are currently there is search of Bruce who is lost in the time stream.

Jason escapes the League and takes on the name of Shrike when he returns to Gotham. Named specifically after the Masked Shrike. The name is chosen because the birds are unassuming but violent and stab/impale things. Jason is primarily proficient in knives.

He sets out to hunt down and either harm or kill each of his older siblings, his anger is directed mostly at them. They were the ones who forced him into the role of Shadow which killed him, they were the ones who didn't help him.

He is captured by Cass, Tim, and Damian and brought back to the cave in order to identify him as he knows their league names specifically which means they are compromised. They discover Shrike is their dead brother.

Jason escapes and they are currently playing a game of cat and mouse as Jason both hates and fears his siblings but refuses to get their help.

Currently is making a mess of Gotham while his siblings try to corral him.

Dick Grayson aka Robin

Primary weapon: Escrima sticks

Most recent of Bruce's adoption.

Was originally the missing son of two circus performers, he was found nearly two years later under the control of the Court of Owls.

He was being trained to be the next Talon was making rapid progression with his training. He was only discovered as the bat family was taking down the last of the Court when he tried to kill them.

Dick was tasked specifically with taking down rogue Talons however, he will take down any threat to himself as well meaning that Bat family in this case.

He wasn't fully turned and the bats were able to get him under control. They learn soon he was the missing circus child.

Bruce takes him Dick since he cannot function in a normal environment. He struggles with the family is more or less terrified of them.

He is very strict and obeys every thing he is told. Damian ends up primarily taking over raising him and getting him out of his conditioning from the Court of Owls since he has a similar up bringing from when he was in the League.

They make progress by allowing him to train among each other. He takes on the name Robin after his parents nickname for him, forgoing the Shadow mantle.

He becomes Damian's sidekick rather than Bruce and Dick ends up mostly living with Damian as a result.

Dick struggles with his emotions and reactions, tending to either be autopilot or an angry child. Damian struggles controlling him but over time he learns to help Dick express emotions in better ways.

Barbara Gordon aka Code Breaker

Barbara is no adopted by Bruce.

Her spinal injury is caused by the Court of Owls (unclear if it was Dick specifically) who harmed her as a message to Commissioner Gordon and Batman to leave the Court alone or else those they love will suffer.

She befriends Cassandra and Dick as a family friend first as Bruce offers to help with all medical costs for Barbara.

She quickly learns that Bruce is Batman and ends up forcing herself into the family to help protect them in any way she can. It's her way of returning the favor from Bruce.

She takes on the name Code Breaker and primarily uses her computer skills to get information.

General ages:

Bruce - 46 Duke - 28 Damian - 27 Cassandra - 25 Stephanie - 24 Tim - 21 Jason - 17 Dick - 14 Barbara - 15

Reverse Robins Stephanie Brown

as Shrike. sketching...

yes she has to do her hair every time she goes out as Shrike. Yes she liked it at first but after a week of it she just wished she got an idea of wearing a wig instead.

[and after... if there was any part she liked about not being Shrike anymore... it was the hair thing. God, it was torturous.]

[Podfic Link] | Length: 48 minutes, 47 seconds

Original Work: the care and keeping of your baby talon by quandaries_and_contradictions

Batfam: Age Reversed Robins | Rating: General Audiences

Summary:

Bruce has not had a moment of peace and quiet since he brought home the boy who tried to steal his tires, his sons came in with a talon trailing after them, and the neighbor kid invited himself to the manor. So he is more than a little annoyed when his eldest barges into his office “Yes?” he asks. “You need to come downstairs,” Damian says. “It’s the talon.” In which everyone is more than a little cautious about the talon Duke brought home. Featuring chandelier swinging, Secret Garden reading, ill-advised sleuthing, and more.

Notes: all chapters (1-7) are in one audio file! each chapter is a different character POV. this is the 1st in the series not written by hoebiwan and I am so grateful that the author gave me the okay to record their works so I can complete all of it!

Part 3 of [podfics of] birds and brothers and other assorted synonyms

alternate cover that matches the two preceding fics under the cut:

Tldr; no involuntary death ever: we must kill death, then vibe for eternity.

Seeing people still hold deathist values is honestly quite baffling. The though of eternal life gives me far more comfort than some potentially unknowable afterlife. I had a major existential crisis as a kid because I felt that death was an inevitability and being atheist made that fact linger in a way that always gave me stress When I thought about it. But I've been seeing potential ways beyond the death of even our own universe through universe creation and immortality technology. If anything it makes me see life less like a self fulfilling prophecy of Calvinist fatalism and more like an open ended videogame with no story and a massive creative sand box. Once we defeat involuntarily death, possibilities for artistic expression open up significantly. If anything it just seems a lot less stressful than dealing with the spectacle put on by deathists and those profiting from mass death. Plus there will be ways to defeat eternal boredom in the future.

REVERSE BATFAM HCS 🗣🗣🗣💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Your wish is my command ;)

RANDOM REVERSE BATFAM HCS

Damian took after Talia in features. he is, however, shorter by 2 inches

His siblings were taller him as soon as they hit puberty, Jason especially

this fact irritates him to no end

They always call Damian Mama Bird, teasingly, especially if he worries about them too much

but they always appreciate it

Damian first meets Duke when he saved him from the joker attack and later in the foster center

Tim first met Damian in a gala that the Drakes had attended, and they bonded over Alfred the kitten, that Damian somehow smuggled into the gala

Tim did not die, however, he was significantly injured in the explosion that killed his parents, when he recovers he becomes their Oracle

Damian had to replace his spine when he protected Jon from a kryptonite bullet and nearly became a paraplegic

Jason likes to do dramatic monologues of the classics especially when he's upset, or praticularly dramatic, Macbeth is particular favorite when doing so

He likes to read books out loud, and he likes teaching it to Cass, who likes seeing him be open in his body language

Dick is the baby of the family and gets away with things that others usually don't

like cookies after bedtime or running off and starting your own team at the age of 14

Cass learned how to play an acoustic guitar when she broke her leg and had no other activity to do

Duke and Jason like to go out to open mics (and be the hipster that Damian strives to be -Duke)

Damian is the one who actually finds all of his siblings and convinces Bruce to adopt them

except for Steph-

but she later joins the family as Cass' wife

Later in the future, the cooking is now divided between Damian, Jon, Alfred, and Duke

Damian and Jon becuase they live together in Bludhaven

Duke becuase he got an apartment near his college

There are three braincells in the Wayne household, Alfred has two and the last one is split between Damian, Duke, and Cass

When Damian calls you out by your full name you run

Damian and Alfred will forever be at war with the PTA,

Tim teaches Jason and Dick how to skateboard

Cass is the one who teaches Dick about parkour

There are so many craft nights in the manor led by Steph

Damian works as a freelance artist under a pseudonym. He also does other design works like jewelry making or fashion design. But he mostly volunteers at animal shelters and sanctuaries

Tim works as a video game developer

Duke works as a therapist (also works as a therapist in the league with Black Canary)

Stephanie is a med student, works at Leslie’s clinic

((feel free to add on to this))

New Fic: “Son of a Devil”

“…you said a bad word.” The little boy suddenly said in a little voice, drawing Nero’s attention, “The f-word.”

Nero looked at the little boy with a softened look, giving a little smile followed by a chuckle, “I did. Very good. The F-word is a bad word and you should never say it. I’m sorry. Do you need help? Is that why you snuck in here?”

The little boy visibly hesitated but then gave a little nod, “Mama told me to run. Find help. Said Papa’s bad friends were coming to hurt us.”

Nero saw Nico look at him with a curious look through the rear view mirror, Nero looking back to the boy, “Do you know why?”

“Papa owed them money.” The little boy admitted, “Mama said he stole it.”

Nero looked at Nico once more, “Still think we should call the cops?” He asked.

Nico admitted that she had already, but maybe he had a point about not leaving the kid behind, “Then, I’m going to grab some stuff. And then we’ll head home. I’ll call Kyrie and warn her ahead of time.”

“Good. But if any cops show up asking questions, you’re talking to them.” Nico said, “Now buckle up.”

Nero gave a little nod before turning back to the little boy in front of him, “I’m Nero. What’s your name, kiddo?”

The little boy canted his head at him, “Leon,” He replied shyly, “Leon Kennedy.”

The drive to Redgrave had been a quiet one for once, Leon staying awake the whole time despite it being past the boy’s bedtime. He stayed in his spot on the couch, allowing Nero to buckle him in for his safety. There was a little duffle bag and a stuffed raccoon sitting on the seat between them, the bag holding all of Leon’s clothes, or as much as Nero could grab. He put the family photo on top, but Leon flipped it over, not wanting to see the picture.

Which was understandable considering what had just happened over an hour ago.

Nero kept an eye on him, and so did Nico, whom Nero caught looking through the rear view, but he knew better than to say anything. Leon was nodding off to sleep, though every time his head sank, he would jolt up and blink with a little noise of annoyance, not letting go of the raccoon while he did so.

“If you’re tired, you can rest, bud.” Nero said, “We’re not gonna let anything happen to you. Promise.”

“Not tired…” Leon insisted before a yawn left him, Nero shaking his head with a smile, “…Dun…wanna…”

“If you want to nap, that’s okay. Go ahead.” Nero insisted, “I’ll wake you up when we get there, okay? You’re safe, Leon.”

(Reverse AU: How Nero Found Leon

Prompt: Age Reversal AU where Nero and Nico are out hunting demons one night and find something else instead. Or rather, someone else…

Meanwhile, five year-old Leon just barely made it out of a terrible and terrifying situation that led to him becoming an orphan. Luckily, he finds safety in a strange van parked on his block.

Rated for Language, Canon Typical Violence and ABO Things.

Sidenote: There will be NO Vergilleon in this for obvious reasons.)

Kidnapper: we have your son.

Jason: I don’t have a kid.

Kidnapper: nice try, asshole. But I know for a fact you have one, and he’s right here with me.

Jason: dude, I can 100% guarantee you I don’t have a kid. I’m way too young for that to happen.

Kidnapper, muttering to himself: did I just take a random kid off the street and give him orange juice and a cut crust pb&j sandwich for nothing?!

Jason: yup

Kidnapper: shit.

Jason: whatever, that’s your kid now. Good luck with that.

Lil Dickie: Jay he gave me orange juice! I specifically asked for milk and he said no, even when I said it makes my tummy feel funny!

Jason: god damnit Dick.. course it would be you who got snatched. Probably playing hopscotch again- fuck it. Just kill the brat.

Dick: JAY!

Jason: goodbye you little shit. Never liked you anyways. And fyi, he’s not my kid- just my unwanted brother *hangs up*

Dick: 🥲

Kidnapper: so uh… want another sandwich or… play catch?

Some days the idea of age-reversal au for mp100 just creeps into my mind and won't leave me alone.

Look, I blame this on the shit ton of art I found of kid Reigen being his delightful self around Mob. And Mob going ballistic when baby Reigen gets injured.

Or Ritsu having no qualms arguing with a kid but would kill you if you so much as said anything wrong to Reigen.

Ekubo being the reluctant babysitter, like doesn't see the value to this kid at all. And slowly liking this kid for his antics, like he is the most entertainment he has ever got ever since he befriended Mob. And when Reigen can finally see him, he ends ups having this ridiculous arguments with him. Much like Ritsu, he finds Reigen a bit annoying, but he would protect him any time. He's also the one who finds out that Reigen doesn really have a good home life. And goes about this roundabout way of letting Reigen tag along and be their little agency's part-timer.

(Look Reigen is a good liar, and I'd always thought he's the kind of person who'd downplay something that shouldn't be and exaggerate something that's really simple.)

Everyone juts protective of him coz he's not only a kid but he absolutely has no way of protecting himself. And sure his techniques works sometimes and some of their odd jobs he can actually solve, but when shit hits the fan Reigen is defenseless on his own.

Half the shit they get into is Reigen's doing one way or another. I want tiny Reigen looking for what jobs they could take because he doesn't want to be just a tag-along to Mob. He wants to be useful. He wants to have a reason to hangout with Mob. He says its coz Mob is bad at dealing with people so he'll be do it for him instead!

Reigen saying he'll have to look presentable for their clients so he wears this little suits that way they'll take him seriously. Which does the exact opposite coz he looks absolutely adorable.

And maybe, just maybe, it's him who gets Ritsu and Shou to stop dancing around each other. And Teru to just ask Mob out already coz he looks really lame mooning after shishou like that. And it's him who drags Serizawa to the agency and get him to start working their too and takes absolute delight in being called Senpai by someone older than him.

And if his heart flutters weirdly when Katsuya smiles at him, well it's prolly coz he ate something, right? He totally isn't blushing when he watches Katsuya fight. He was totally hot— It! IT WAS TOTALLY HOT in that building! Shut up Ritsu!
