#Nightwing and Robin

Just a karaoke night between brothers.

I think you can see what my fyp has been showing me because I saw this on Instagram and I HAD TO.

Another HC of mine is that Dick used joint naps as a sort of time-out for Damian since it both reinforced trust and got the kid to take a break. At first it worked as an actual punishment, because it was pretty much Damian watching Dick sleep for an hour... until Damian started to really trust Dick.

Damian has grown to love required naptime; Napping With Papa is his favorite activity now and, of course, his brain dictates Dick can never know this, so he never asks to take a nap and instead strategically acts out until Dick makes him take a nap.

Damian: "-and that is reason number twenty-four why I should be allowed to inflict bodily harm on whomever I choose. Reason number twenty five is-"

Dick: "Wow okay, I didn't know you could be this annoying."

Damian, snapping: "Do not interrupt me!"

Dick: "What has you so cranky anyway? Did you get much sleep?"

Damian, perking up: "My sleep has nothing to do with this."

Dick: "Yeah, no, it sounds like you need some sleep. Let's take a nap."

Damian, flatly: "Drat. I hate this."

Also Damian: "Just to be clear, are we using your room or mine? I'd prefer yours because the scent of your shampoo has rubbed off on the pillows and I think it has a calming effect on me. We will do your room. I will bring my Robin blanket, I think it has a calming effect on me as well. Also please hum when we are napping, it makes me feel like a kitten, not that the feeling is good. It's just a thing... A thing I have not felt since I was three years old if I recall."

Dick:

Dick: "...Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the feeling you like taking naps with me."

Damian: "You are incorrect in that notion, I do not care for the practice." *Latches onto Dick's sleeve and starts dragging him upstairs* "Now can we please take a nap already? This was your idea after all!"

Damian, bundled in his Robin blanket, cradled by Dick: "...This is the worst. I love you."

Dick: "What was that?"

Damian: "Nothing. You're hearing things... I love you."

Dick:

Damian:

Dick: "...I love you too, kiddo."

Damian, eyes wet: "I don't recall asking."

Thinking of Dick and Damian, had Dick actually adopted him instead of toeing the line as he had in the comics.

Damian's sitting at the dining room table, scribbling out equations and calling the whole thing "stupid", because what could he, as a highly-trained assassin, need algebra for? He' already the top of his class, and this should be easy for him, yet for some reason, he can never get x to equal 27.

Dick's busy making dinner, occasionally pointing out little tips as Damian reads off the steps he'd taken, wanting his other brother—his dad—to help him out.

Dick never really got to finish high school. Sure, he got his diploma and all, but he wasn't as great as he wanted to be. He'd been far too busy dealing with his parents' death and the whole Robin gig to really care about school in the way he should have.

Damian was pulled from being Robin the second Dick signed the papers and took him home. This child was his child, and he wouldn't put him under any more stress than his grandfather and biological father had. He'd be a good dad. He'd try.

Still, Dick has his moments where he questions if Damian had been better off with Bruce. Damian is having a nightmare where he doesn't even want to be held, and it becomes awfully clear to the man that he didn't know a damn thing about being a father. His regular "older brother" jokes weren't working, Talia wasn't there, and he had no guide.

Dick is just as stressed as Damian, upset he can't help the child in front of him deal with whatever was going on in his mind. He tried. He promises, he tried.

He lets Damian bring home a cat and they rescue Haley together. They're happy. Damian learns to make friends, and he's growing faster than Dick expected.

Dick knows he's only just breaching his 30s, but that doesn't stop the flicker of pain in his chest when he sees his once-toned form melting into softer curves and Damian growing a little taller with each new week.

By the time he's 16, Damian is already as tall as Dick, and the doctors claim he's nowhere near finished. Dick isn't surprised, the boy has giants on both sides of the family, but his heart still aches at the knowledge that his boy is getting older.

He's content, for now, to help Damian with his homework at the dining table, cooking up some Arabic dish he could hardly pronounce. He was going to be a good father. The best he could for this kid. His kid.

Look at the little guy.

Like father like son. Shapes and Colours the likes of which I’ve never seen.

Little sketch for the idea from earlier 👁️

[haridkrish]

This is my recent Red Hood illustration and I’m so glad to hear that people comparing this to comic covers. Thank you if you feel the same way :) Still a long way to go. But, hopefully someday. Someday.

I got bored so I wanted to sketch damians relationship with dick

[tarta-de-limon]

@zorilleerrant uhm, actually he's, like, ten apples tall 🤓☝️

I attach evidence:

[lemonfizzyy]

Dick is an older brother/father figure to Tim, with a heavy leaning on older brother. Dick is an older brother/father figure to Damian with a heavy leaning on father figure. Send tweet.

Found this cute picture of Brenton Thwaites holding a baby:

This is how I imagine Dick and baby Jason.

[airplanecrashingtowardstheground]

you can pry damian seeing dick as his true father and dick seeing damian as his son from my cold dead hands but you will never succeed

[robinsleeping]

Like father, like son.

a quite night of catching wayward Robins ~
