Shout-out to @cutiecorner for throwing me back in my Batman phase! I love this blog so much, it's so cozy and safe.
I especially like Bruce's obsession with trains; I always wanted trains as a little kid, but my parents just got me the typical girly stuff. Then they said I was too old to play with my little brother's...rip.
That being said, I'd love to have a playdate with Brucie, I can bring my animal toys and they can ride the trains! That is, if Alfie wouldn't mind? 👉👈

Cg!Alfred Pennyworth headcanons!
(Mentions of regressor batfam and cg bruce throughout the list!!)
a gift to @cutiecorner !! i hope you feel better soon and enjoy these hc’s <3 :]
Bruce never had to tell Alfred directly about his regression, it just naturally happened over time.
Sure, there were conversations about how to go about it and boundaries, but no direct coming out conversation.
Alfred is already observant, and he’s been taking care of Bruce since he was a baby. The man knows his son.
When one of his kids regresses, he’s always the first to notice, as well as the first person by their side to assist them if they need it.
Alfred’s swaddling has become a household favorite.
The blankets are always soft and smell like vanilla lavender, which is a personal favorite scent of bruce’s.
Bruce’s kids always prefer to run off and grab a blanket from the study or office to be swaddled in, since it smells like a mixture between Bruce’s cologne and Alfred’s cinnamon tea, familiar and comforting scents.
He’s mastered the art of being able to divide his attention between kids equally to ensure nobody gets upset that he may spend more time or attention on a smaller regressor.
Bruce goes between being a caregiver and a regressor, and though most of the kids would never admit it to bruce (Dick is blunt and honest when he’s regressed, a trait that Bruce has a love hate relationship with.) Alfred’s milk recipe is just different in a way that can’t be replicated, they’re never too sweet, never too warm or hot. Always perfect.
Most kids least favorite time of day is bedtime, but everyone in the house adores it when they’re regressed.
Alfred makes it fun for the still energetic ones, making it a game or challenge to do their bedtime routine, like brushing their teeth and taking care of their face and hair.
“Good job, sweetheart! Lets see who can brush their teeth the best!”
For the soft and gentle sleepy ones, he helps them around, doing the routine mostly for them with soft praises and encouragement to keep them awake long enough to get them in bed.
“Oh, you’re very tired, little one. Let me wash your face and then you can cuddle up in your warm bed, hm?”
The only time one of the kids don’t like going to bed is if they’re between being regressed and not because they’re tense and stressed from doing work, but Alfred can always guarantee that he can pull anyone away from their work with a little bit of babying.
Taking their hands in his, doing more things for them than usual, making their favorite snack or drink.. the list goes on.
He loves when his kiddo’s stick to his side all the time. Wether it be curious about what he’s doing around the house today, or just wanting to be around Alfie because there’s no reason needed for that, he loves it. Absolutely adores it.
If someone gets hurt, he’s always rushing to their side, cradling their head with whispered assurances as he examines the injury.
“Oh dear, don’t fret, Alfie’s here to help you. Now let’s see where you got hurt.”
If someone is upset, Alfred will do anything to keep his babies from crying. If it’s something minor, like a stuffed animal having to be washed, he’ll play games with them to keep them distracted. If they’re super tiny he’ll make funny faces like he used to with baby bruce.
If it’s something bigger that can’t simply be distracted with, he’ll sit with them and hold them in his lap as they cry. If they wanna talk, he’ll listen and nod along, talk about how brave they are. If they don’t want to, he’ll just press kisses to their head, tell them how they’re so strong.
“It may not be okay right now, darling, but I promise you it will get better.”
He would never let one of the kids see, mostly out of fear that they would begin to worry about him, but once they’re all in bed or he watches them play from afar and enjoy themselves, he sheds a few tears at the fact that his kids not only found a way to help with their issues, but that they trust him with the honor of helping and taking care of them in such a sensitive situation.
