    Summary

    Right now, Damian is not Robin, and father is not Batman. They're dressed in black suits with gel in their hair and wearing ridiculously colourful ties that Grayson had picked out for them.

    Damian is dying, there's no question about it. But as father leans down to place a hand across his pulse, counting the slowly depleting thumps of a heartbeat, his expression horrified, Damian realises he needs to tell his father that Jason Todd is alive. He must.

    He absolutely can not die letting Bruce Wayne think he has lost two sons.

    (Damian joins the family early, and harbours a secret he almost carries with him to the grave.)

    Summary

    "B?" Robin asks, confused at Bruce's long silence, "They're going to move. What's your call?"

    Batman realises he can't ever remember the last time Dick waited for his call before jumping headfirst into a skirmish. Well before he turned fifteen, at the very least. A long time ago now.

    They're working properly together all of a sudden, listening to each other and waiting for instructions — but for some inexplicable reason, Bruce feels as though they're two completely different people. It is still Batman and Robin, but it's not Batman and Robin.

    It's… strange.

    (Something is different about Dick. Bruce notices.)

    Summary

    Cass was arguably Bruce’s best behaved child by way of being mostly nonverbal, ruling out the possibility of offending someone, and being well-versed enough in reading people that she was nearly impossible to offend. Bruce wasn’t worried. He had no reason to, up until Cass vanished halfway through the gala.

    (Cass has a problem with her hair, and it takes Bruce longer than it should to realize.)

    Bruce spent a lot to get his bed. He’d like the chance to actually sleep in it.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
