    Summary

    Wayne Manor has stood almost as long as Gotham itself. From the outside, it looks like a haunted house: all dark stone and shadows with lives of their own.
    Every so often, someone “has to ask” about the rumors that the building is haunted. A nosy reporter. A drunken socialite. A paranormal YouTuber.
    Outwardly, Bruce Wayne laughs them off, dismissing the idea out of hand. It's not his secret to tell.
    The reality is that Wayne Manor is much warmer and more welcoming to those who reside there than it is to outsiders. Laughter echoes through the halls. Little faces peer out of the windows, waiting to welcome him home.
    That's not to say there are no ghosts.
    But they don't haunt the Manor.
    They make it a home.

    ***

    Bruce somehow finds himself parenting some very traumatized ghost kids. And an equally traumatized living child. Sometimes family is a billionaire, a butler/dad, a gaggle of ghost children, a toddler assassin, and a weird, drunk, magic uncle.

    Summary

    Jason is eleven months old, Bruce is stuck at a three-day Justice League meeting on the Watchtower, and Alfred is holding down the fort at the Manor — managing oatmeal disasters, bath time negotiations, and a baby who treats shoes as a personal affront.
    Then Jason says his first word.
    It's dada. And dada isn't here.
    Alfred Pennyworth does not accept this as a permanent state of affairs. He packs the diaper bag, straps a baby to his chest, and teleports to an orbiting space station, because some things are more important than protocol — and a baby calling for his father is one of them.

    Summary

    Jason is escaping from the League with fussy little baby Damian in his arms, taking him away from bad parents as far as possible. He doesn’t want to see Bruce, but the only safe place from the League is still Gotham.

    How long can he raise Damian without the Bat knowing, and without anyone he can turn to at all?

    Or:
    Jason is not the Red Hood, Damian is a one-year-old baby. Jason barely gets by, but Damian is his priority.

    The fic is completed, and will be updated regularly.
