Like the little shit he is, he continues to lay little breadcrumbs of life changing realizations at his brothers' feet.

"I don't know if those of the Batman and Nightwing fics are worse."

What if Damian and Tim love each other and even like? It's just more of a situation "Manipulating others is easier ". Maybe an example will help;

Damian: Father, May I go to Zoo today?

Bruce:No Damian, you're grounded.

Tim:Oh, that's bad. I could go with you to take photos of otter, but if you are not going I think I will stay too. What's a zoo without company. Maybe I will go with Kon next week.

Bruce *Super happy in a moment of thinking his youngest kids getting along*: If you two agree not to kill each other, Damian can go

Tim and Damian:*Knowing looks*

Or situation like;

Tim who has abandoned issues and is having fear of people leaving him: Dick is mad at me. Can you stab me so he will be in his mother hen mode Instead?

Damian who would like to have 5 minutes of peace from Grayson: Say no more

Damian, entering the living room: Oh, Drake. I didn’t realise you were here too.

Tim, distracted on his phone on the couch: Yeah, best WiFi around. Keeping busy?

Damian, looking in cupboards and chandeliers for acrobatic older brothers: Looking for Dick.

Tim absently, not looking up from Grindr: Mm, me too.

Dick just doesn't understand their perfect and completely normal dymanic 🙄

Like, let them have their conversation calm down ur dramatic beans

Just imagining the chaos that would occur with Tim and Damian actually doing a road trip by themselves across Europe as Damian’s 16th birthday gift.

Constant arguments over whose picking the driving music today getting to the point where Damian duck taped Tim’s hands to the window

Both of them trying to see if they could “theoretically (of course)” steal priceless art from each museum they’d go to and argue about the flaws in each others plans

Damian flexing his language knowledge in each new country

Tim always having a list of vegetarian restaurants that they can go to and Damian always having a list of restaurants that have good vegetarian options but aren’t fully vegetarian so that Tim can enjoy himself too

Both trying to outdo each other souvenir shopping for their family

Damian and Tim end up like the Scooby doo gang and somehow find themselves caught up in a new mystery each time but they actually love it

Tims favorite day was when they went to Venice and Damian spent the whole day lecturing him on art history because it was the happiest he’d ever seen him

Damian’s favorite day was when they went to the Swiss alps and he convinced Tim to go hiking before sunrise and they made it to a high summit by sunrise and they just sat there, no words needed both completely content with the others presence

Honestly I think Tim Drake deserves way more recognition as Robin not only for figuring out Bruce and Dick's indetities at age 9 or for being canonically the best bo staff user in the dcu, but for giving Robin fucking pants. Can you imagine demon spawn Damian running around Gotham with a katana in his hand, murder in his eyes and fucking booty shorts.

Everyone say thank you Tim Drake.

edit: edited again to stop people from sending me death threats and calling me a liar for getting a fact wrong and apologizing for it like four times. Ra's al Ghul has called everyone detective, young detective or similar. Ok. I get it. Please forgive me for this outrageous offense /s

also deleted all the detective-related comments.

Tim: I think Damian is gaslighting me, but I can’t prove it.

Damian: Then I’m not gaslighting you.

Tim:

Tim: Count your days.

Damian, holding Tim by the shirt: Tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t end you where you stand!

Tim, visibly afraid: U-uh… dick told me to have a good day!!

Damian, lowering his fist: You make a good point…

Damian with his new hairstyle resembles Tim a lot:

My headcanon is that he was inspired by his older brother when he choose his new hairstyle.

But Damian would prefer to set himself on fire before admit such thing,lol.

Danyal Al Ghul had died long ago. Not even the Pits could ressurect the fallen heir, and therefore Damian Al Ghul inherited the title.

Damian had never seemed to effected by his beloved brothers death, and Ra's had seen that as an advantage, seen Damian as stronger, as unemotional. Damian became the perfect child, and Danyal was left to be forgotten.

Except for the fact Danyal's ghost floated behind Damian all the time, like intangible and invisible, but unable to turn human.

The reason Damian was never effected was because his brother stuck by his side constantly, even after death, helping him, comforting him, as a ghost.

Damain never told anyone, he didn't have any evidence beside his word, which would be taken as the words of a mad man and not a becoming heir to the Demon Head.

So, Bruce never learned. He never knew about his second son, one who had died long ago, and one who had stuck by Damian's side through all of his adventures.

Soon enough, Danyal starts to manifest his usual gallery of powers, and it stars to alert the family.

"Why is there a hole in the wall?" Bruce would ask.

Damian would scramble for an excuse as quick as he humanly can, knowing his brother's powers as Danyal sulked next to him, "I was painting."

"WHY IS MY ENTIRE ROOM FROZEN SOILD?!" Jason would yell.

"Your window was left open, Todd."

"IT'S MAY!"

"What the-- why is my skateboard stuck in the wall?!" Tim.

Danyal buried his head in his hands.

"an art project."

Listen when I saw Damian getting ready with background of boats, I just needed to draw them

Also for some fing reasons Tim always look different when I draw him

Tim: No to whatever your gonna ask

Steph: I haven’t even asked you yet

Tim: Answer is still no

Steph: Oh common, you don’t even have to stab anyone this time.

Tim: Now it's a definite no.

Or alternatively

Damian: No

Tim: You get to stab someone

Damian: ….

Damian: I’m listening

It was always amusing when people forgot that.

I honestly just really liked this one and really recommend it. If anyone knows of any similar I'd love some more Janet Drakes Son Tim fics!!

More batfam incorrect quotes with stuff from my day:

Damian: I feel myself die inside a little bit everyday.

Tim: It's called aging. Get over it.

Thinking about Tim taking really beautiful pictures of Gotham and then giving them to Damian for references to practice painting landscapes. Thinking about Tim knocking on Damian’s door at 4 am to show him a new painting he found that he thinks Damian would like. Thinking of Damian going on patrol and noticing that this random building he’s camping out on has a really gorgeous view and jotting it down somewhere so he can tell Tim about it later. Thinking about Tim and Damian dressing up really nice and then sneaking out of the manor when no one is looking and going out to art galleries. Thinking about Tim being so proud of his little brother’s art that he nominates it for an art show and then brags endlessly to anyone who’ll listen when he gets chosen. Thinking about Tim and Damian having each others art framed in their rooms (+in Tim’s office at WE). Thinking about Tim and Damian going on little outings where Damian can set up shop and paint and Tim can walk around and take pictures. Thinking about Tim and Damian bonding and being allowed to develop an actual positive relationship with each other.

Damian draws fan art to Tim’s fanfiction and it’s the only times they can collaborate without it ending in bloodshed
