Re:Write by Meritatem 💔🌸❗

"When Damian tried for the first time, he went too far and saw Gotham as the new hell on earth. When he tried for a second time, he went too early and saw everybody fighting for a cowl. That, at least, he could work with. Alternatively: Instead of entering the Lazarus Tournament, Damian tries to bring back Alfred with time travel... it backfires of course, so now he has to relive his past as Dick's Robin. All things considered, it could've been so much worse."

2. The Disappearance of Damian Wayne by Anonymous 💔🌸

"Three years ago, the Wayne Family disappeared off the face of the planet. With only one person left behind. Damian Wayne, alone in the wreckage of his family's presumed death, is, in some ways, the only Wayne remaining. And he is left to face the raging media storm alone. And in the hurricane of grief, paparazzi, secret identities, and truth, Damian has to survive. He has to adapt. And as the days go by, the disappearance seems more and more like a death. Meaning Damian has to face a grief that he doesn't know is false. He deals the only way he knows how: by destroying himself. OR: Damian is put through the horrors of grief and child stardom, and he returns irrevocably changed and brutally damaged."

3. Damian Wayne's Complete and Absolute Guide to Starting Over by Anonymous 💔🌸

"To save the world from utter destruction, a person's memory was required. Not their memories, but everyone else's memories of them. They would be fundamentally erased from existence. Like they were never even there at all. The moment Superman told them that, his face sunken and his eyes hollow, Damian knew it had to be him. Or: Damian Wayne is forgotten by the entire world. "Starting over" is more painful then he imagined. [A guide with a... questionable success rate]"

4. All The Things We Did Not Become by Anonymous 💔🌸

"In this universe, Damian Wayne is not raised in the League of Assassins. Instead, he grows up with the Wayne Family. He grows up alongside all of the bats, shielded from vigilantism and violence. With everyone holding the hopes that maybe he could have a chance at a normal, happy life. But, on Damian's tenth birthday, over nine years after Talia gave him to the Waynes, the League of Assassins returns to take him back. And his family— despite all of their best efforts— are too late to save him. The League spends the next four years shaping him and crafting him and manipulating him into the weapon he was always supposed to be. And although the Waynes looks for him, following every lead, every trail, they find nothing. Until four years later, when Damian Al Ghul is assigned Gotham City for his next mission. Or: A what-if Damian's life was reversed. And instead of going from an Al Ghul to a Wayne, he goes from a Wayne to an Al Ghul. (And then back to a Wayne again. Some things- like family- are too powerful to be fully changed.)"

5. consider my age, please don’t take me at this stage by This_world_of_beautiful_monsters 💔❗

"Damian Wayne stands in a room of dead children and tries to remember that he’s not one of them. Not right now, anyway. (Coda to Streets of Gotham #7)"

6. Pyrrhic victory by ShariDeschain🌸

"Someone who wins a Pyrrhic victory has been victorious in some way, though the heavy toll negates a true sense of achievement or profit. Or, the one where brainwashed Jason is basically a children’s toy and Damian is a worried little shit."

7. Ghosts That We Knew by fishfingersandjellybabies 💔🌸💀

"Not even death was going to keep him from his family."

8. Don't Be Suspicious by halitedream🌸

"In Tim’s professional opinion, the best place to get high is the Batmobile. It’s comfortable, has an incredible sound system, and the airtight seals provide the perfect conditions for hotboxing the shit out of it. - Tim and Steph irresponsibly hotbox the Batmobile, and a little Bat gets in"

9. Notoriously Hard to Kill by halitedream💔🌸

"Damian slides into a wider stance and holds his sword at the ready. “Ladies, Gents, Others and Monsters, keep your eyes peeled - I have a feeling we’re going to have a hell of a show!” The audience erupts, and the behemoth charges. - or: Damian fights so the people he loves won't have to"

10. Keep The Memories Of Who I Was Before by alchemistsarego💔💀

"Now!” The cop shouted. “Put it down, now!” A new siren screamed near by and Damian’s breath hitched again. “It’s okay, you’re okay, it’s me, it’s Dick. I need you to listen to me, okay? I need you to slowly put the knife down, okay Dami? Just slowly put it down. You can do it, I know you can, just slowly crouch down and put the knife on the ground and everything’s going to be just fine.” “Drop the weapon!” Damian’s eyes widened, just a little. “I know you’re scared, Bud, but all you have to do is listen to me. Just slowly put it down.” “Drop the weapon now! Drop it! Drop the weapon!” “Babybird,” Dick said. “It’s me. You know me. You know that when I say everything’s okay, I mean it, yeah?” “Drop the weapon or I’ll shoot!”
