Summary
Alfred’s love is pressed shirts and warm food. And his love is a gleaming knife, too.
He would bleed for his boys. He would make others bleed for them.
And so he does.
(Or: the Joker must die, and Alfred Pennyworth is not a man who waits on others to do his work.)

Summary
In a battle for the fate of the world, the Justice League loses. However, losing doesn’t mean that there’s nothing left to be done. Magic is a fickle thing, and destiny doesn’t like to be thwarted.
~
There are certain things that Dick and Bruce don’t talk about. Things like how Dick has always been able to understand what Bruce means when he grunts, or how he sometimes uses moves that Bruce hasn’t taught him yet, or how Bruce has red-yellow-green things everywhere and had installed a gymnastics room before even meeting Dick. It’s not like they can do anything about it, all the bits of knowing and feeling that appear like muscle memory and slip away like dreams. It’s just… how things are for them. It’s normal for the Manor to feel empty and quiet and lonely, filled with a pervasive sense of something missing. Dick sometimes finds himself wandering around, as if he could just find the right room then he could stick his head in and find—someone. Someones, plural.
(Or, the Bats don’t quite remember each other. They know no names, no faces, no details. But they remember enough, and once they find each other, it’ll take the world ending again before they let go.)

Summary
Things that cannot be explained away: bloodshot eyes, six-second counts for every inhale and exhale, and the fact that he cannot walk through his own Cave without flinching at the sound of the bats roosting above him.
(or, Bruce Wayne grits his teeth through seven doses of Scarecrow's fear toxin and deperately pretends to be okay around the Batfamily)

Summary
Bruce Wayne was a large man. He had a sharp-eyed charm that left the weak-willed dazzled and the strong-willed suspicious. He was dragon in all passable ways -- fierce, defensive of his charitable interests -- and yet failed to impress in others. He had no hoard; there was no evidence, on camera or in a witness account, of him ever having shifted.
Everyone who met him walked away with a shiver of something down their spine, uncertain what it meant. Thomas Wayne had set off the soft, human instincts and soothed them in the same breath, so visibly dragon -- and apologetic, at points -- as to be disarming.
Bruce Wayne apologized for nothing. He simply was. His teeth were sharp, his eyes even sharper, and he stared at those with opposing interests in a way that conveyed his delight in their confusion. In their inability to believe their own eyes and senses when that drowsy, long-disused human survival instinct woke in the back of their minds at the sound of his voice.
