Small happiness: Damian, Zitka II and Alfred the Cat

[Image description: A close up of a sleeping Damian Wayne, covered in a orange colored blanket with subtle orange polka dots. He's sleeping on his side, hugging Zitka II the elephant plushie. There is a small content smile on his face. Alfred the cat is curled up against the back of Damian's head and is also sleeping. There are three text bubbles close to the edges of the frame. Text bubbles (whisper): Dick: Quick, take a picture. Alfred the human: Certainly, Master Richard. Bruce: 🥺 emoji (my-gf-timothy-Jackson-drake batdad version) End ID]

Had a thought about the Reluctant War and made myself a bit sad and I have no idea if it'll make it into the story proper so I'm going to inflict it upon all you guys:

Dick Grayson on the streets of Gotham trying to do everything he can to help as everyone join the ghosts in fighting the GIW, suddenly has a version of the GAV barreling down towards him and for some reason he can't get out of the way in time.

He thinks he's about to join the army of the dead in a whole new way, when the tank fo a vehicle is suddenly sent flying as something massive charged it from the side. He hears a familiar bellowing and then realizes that it's Zitka, a ghost after passing away peacefully a few years before.

She wasn't apart of the army of the ghosts, wasn't brought in to fight. She's just been following her tiny human child around all these years and now that there's enough ecto in the air to do so, she's going to protect him with all her might.

Dick is emotional, so thankful to have his old friend back, but the city is still in a state of chaos. He gets onto Zitka's back and they get to work, running - flying - around helping to grab the injured and whisk them away to safety or take out other GAVs and the like.

It's absurd and freeing and wonderful all at once to be literally flying through the skies of Gotham on the ghost of his elephant best friend, and if Dick wasn't already on the side of King Phantom he is *now* and -

He gets shot off Zitka's back.

A GIW agent was aiming for the Ghost elephant but somehow *missed* and hit Dick instead. Not enough to injure him too badly, but enough to send him flying off Zitka's back and plummeting to the ground. His grapple is broken, and Zitka is diving for him but she's being shot at and she's not going to make it in time and -

A hand, reaching out to him in midair, familiar with its callouses and strong grip as he reaches out and grasps it, body suddenly swinging in a different direction and muscles acting on memory as he falls into the old, achingly familiar routine of his childhood. His mother, ethereal and bright as she smiles down at him, hanging upside down from a bar suspended from nothing but open sky as they swing and he is let go, flipping on instinct and caught by the steady strong hands of his father.

The Flying Graysons reunited in the skies above Gotham, Dick's ghostly parents determined to ensure their little bird never falls the way they did.

#dpxdc #dc x dp #dp x dc #dick grayson #zitka the elephant #the flying graysons #the reluctant war #reluctant war au #i'm just really in my feels this morning about Dick reuniting with his dead family members #lile they're there because they always have been there watching over him #now he's just able to see and interact with them #and don't even get me started about Thomas and Martha Wayne running around helping Alfred and their grandkids #Alfred getting cornered and out of ammo just for someone to shoot off a GIW agent's head with a shotgun and he turns to see martha there #One of the kids gets injured and a ghost with an old fashioned doctor's bag drops down and takes care of them #and he looks so *familiar* that in their out of sorts state the batkid thinks it's Bruce #and Thomas just pats them gently and says: close chum. you can call me grandpa if you like #I'M HAVING A LOT OF FEELINGS THIS MORNING ABOUT ALL OF THIS OKAY 😭😭😭

Is Zitka, Dick’s stuffed Elephant that is in a lot of Fanfic, fanon or canon?

I’m hoping it’s canon but I still love her if she wasn’t.

I love when she goes from one sibling to the next and then back to Dick’s bed in the Manor waiting until she’s needed again. Or when even Bruce uses her, which I swear I read a fic like that but it just might be my headcanon. Alfred does also but no one knows for certain.

It’s a right of passage in a way to cuddle Zitka. You have your own stuffed animals but Zitka is always there, waiting to be used. She’s the best kept secret that isn’t a secret.

Dick and Dami Week 2022

May 9th - My Brother is cooler than your brother / Dick goes off world & Damian misses him / “We both know you’re the last of the Graysons”

I wasn’t sure how this one was going to turn out but it is here and I like it a lot! And I remembered to draw it in time which helps lol

(Also featuring sneaky Starfire)

[ID: Damian Wayne is lying on his stomach, leaning his head in his hand. He is drawing a picture of Batman in a sketchbook in his other hand. His eyes are focused on a tablet sitting upright in front of him, where he is FaceTiming Dick Grayson from a space station. Dick is laughing as Starfire appears in the background of the call. Damian is smiling fondly as Zitka, Dick’s childhood toy, lies just out of Dick’s sight behind Damian. END ID]

out of context things heard in wayne manor:

bruce: i understand, but pretending you cooked jerry the turkey is not a proportionate response to damian calling you a peasant again

————————

jason: look there’s a right way and a wrong way to make food. there’s also the bruce way, which is the wrong way except faster and worse

duke: *frantically scribbling notes*

————————

tim: do you think our relationship was kinda like incest now?

steph, horrified: never open your mouth in my presence again timothy

————————

dick: so then he’s like—guys. guys are you seriously signing about me in front of my face. i learned it too—hey i do NOT have a butt chin take that back—

————————

damian: i don’t understand, why does he wear such a ridiculous hat? is it like that margaret poppins woman grayson showed me?

tim, who watched the live action cat in the hat too much as a kid and is about to violently infodump: well you see-

dick: oh god it’s too late

jason: yeah the brats on his own for this one i’m not fucking dealing with that again

————————

bruce: are you lying?

tim: always. anyway, like i was saying—

————————

steph: hey what’s up with you and all the redheads

dick: …i’m not discussing this with you

steph, starting to chase him: gingervitus is a serious affliction! you cant run from this

dick, sprinting away: yes the fuck i can

————————

duke: so is anyone gonna talk about the elephant in the room…

dick:

dick: look i was feeling sentimental and zitka jr. really isn’t any trouble

damian: she is magnificent

————————

tim: so i dropped out and

duke: wait we can drop out of high school??!!?

bruce: NO.

duke: please bruce ap biology is beating my ass right now

jason: nah tim just got to drop cause bruce was dead and he’s a loser. the real problem is what you’re reading in ap lit right now, because i have thoughts on that curriculum—

duke: i’m not even gonna use half that material in the real world

tim: actually most of our villains have PhDs so their plans are based on pretty real science

duke: not helping timothy

————————

cass, signing: why are brothers on the ceiling?

jason: tims in timeout from working on his caseload

cass, still confused: yes but why taped to the ceiling

duke: listen if you know a better way of restraining his psycho ass then i’m all ears

cass: and damian?

jason: oh he saw this as free range target practice so he had to go up there too

cass: they are plotting revenge up there

duke: think of it as brotherly bonding

————————

damian: it’s not my fault he got in the way

bruce: you threw an eclair at lex luthor

damian: i was aiming for drake

tim: bruce we can’t take him anywhere

dick, holding back laughter: timmy you paid four separate people to come to the gala solely to ask lex if they could use his head to see if they had something in their teeth

tim: you have no proof that was me

————————

duke: look steph, it’s not that we don’t want to help with this

jason: i don’t want to help

duke: it’s more that i don’t think we can physically fit that many people in a shopping cart, and your whole plan kind of hinges on that

————————

alfred: i’m not mad, just disappointed in you.

every batkid, near tears: sorry alfred

————————

jason: HE HAD DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY AS THE FUCKING WHAT—

bruce: listen—

tim, mouth full and brain empty: the ambassador to iran. crazy right?

dick: tim please

For a family of detectives like the Batfam… I have to wonder just how fucked up their concept of privacy and subtlety are with each other. Like. Any online file with less than three layers of encryption is basically public information. If you had something to hide then make it hidden, jesus guys. Or if something isn't buried in a hidden room in a safehouse that doesn't exist that was bought by a series of accounts that end up leading to Zitka the Elephant, its not hidden. That's just out in the open for anyone to find. Every single conversation is so layered in quadruple meanings and code phrases and references that it could look like two people are having a regular conversation and then suddenly they'll turn and book it in opposite directions without warning. Tim doesn't even think to introduce Bernard to his family because he knows that as soon as they stop having dates in deep disguise on the opposite side of the country his family will know because they stalk each other so much and nobody thinks that's weird. Including Bernard.

Elephant in the room

Shifter au where Dick Grayson's other form is an elephant.

Whenever he feels like being stubborn about not wanting to go somewhere he shifts so Bruce can't move him without calling Clark.

His initial plan for what to do with the guy who killed his parents was to step on him.

He honestly thought Zitka the circus elephant was his sister until he was six. His parents didn't realize the misunderstanding until Dick asked why Zitka didn't have to change back and do homework.

If he likes you, you get trunk cuddles.

Batfam Fanon vs Canon Questions

Hey guys! I’ve really been getting into the batfam, but still need to get into the canon material. Until I do though, I had some questions about what is canon and what is fanon?

Is Tim actually tiny for his age? I read him described as being tiny for age/looking exceptionally young for his age and was wondering if this is canon.

“Dickiebird” “Jaybird” “Little wing” “Big bird” “Timbo/Timmers/Timbits/Timtam/Timbuktu” “Replacement” “Baby bat” “Baby bird” Are these canon nicknames?

Dick loves cereal a disproportionate amount.

Tim is a coffee addict.

Jason loves Jane Austen the Most.

Jason is extremely tidy.

Tim’s room is a disaster site.

Did Jason actually think Bruce was a pedophile when he first took Jason home?

Did Jason attack Tim at Titan Tower to hurt Bruce, but also to “show Tim how dangerous it is to be Robin” and try to scare him away from it? Or did he canonically show up to kill Tim/torture him just for the funsies?

Do Jason’s eyes ACTUALLY glow green?

Is Dick actually canonically considered to be just like, absurdly attractive?

Jason didn’t actually have to dye his hair black to be Robin right? That’s just a funny haha joke someone made once right?

Did Bruce LEGIT cut Jay’s throat and leave him for dead to save the Joker? Is that an actual thing that actually happened in the actual canon timeline???????

Did Damian actually try to kill Tim several times and the Bat was just like, chill with that?

Dick has a stuffed elephant named Zitka, named after an elephant at Haly’s Circus.

Okay that’s all the questions I have for now. But if anyone has any answers I’d much appreciate it!
