Batman and sons with damian wayne: cabbage patch

Not enough content about Ra’s trying to steal Bruce’s custody from Alfred.

Thinking about Bruce charging through the league after his semi-kind of- it’s complicated father in law kidnapped his youngest again, “Ra’s, I’ll put you in hell even l if I have to make one myself,—“

Ra’s simply dumps a whole ass 200 piece puzzle on the ground and Bruce’s neurodivergent ass gets to work.

I started this post with the intention of asking for fic recs where Bruce gets his kids early, but then I ended up just writing some ficlets

_(:3 」∠)_

I still really just want recs I swear but I wrote these anyway and am incapable of doing more with them so here

☆彡

Dick Grayson is 8 years old when he watches his parents die. Bruce is 24 years old when he sees a young boy’s life fall to pieces. He’s far too young to be a single father. But he sees too much of himself in the child, and he knows in his heart that he won’t be able to walk away from him.

He talks to Alfred about his fears of only furthering Dick’s trauma by failing him as a guardian. It takes some time, but Alfred is able to convince Bruce to find a therapist and take some discreet parenting classes. He’s still Batman, and I don’t think he’s capable of Gentle Parenting™ but he does do better. Plus, Dick is young enough to learn to read Bruce before the teenage hormones kick in so they manage to communicate much more effectively with each other.

☆彡

Bruce meets Catherine Todd by chance because there was a cool park Dick wanted to stop at. She’s trying to deal with her hungry and fussy 3 year old step son, but she’s young and stressed out and hungry herself and she just doesn’t know what to do. Bruce offers to take them out for lunch. He asks Dick to take Jason to the play area in the corner while they talk.

She breaks down and tells him of her struggles with addiction. She does her best to keep Jason fed, but it’s so hard. Feeding him means she goes hungry most of the time because she can’t quit using. Jason wouldn’t survive if she had to go through withdrawals with him.

He’s not even her kid! Not really. Her husband is just an abusive deadbeat so she doesn’t have a choice. She does love him, but she never wanted kids, and she can’t just let a child die when she can do something.

Bruce fills their fridge and cabinets to the brim (he offers to do much more for them but that’s all she will budge on. She has too much pride to accept outright charity, but she will do what she can to keep her kid safe) and he makes it clear to her that he is willing to take care of Jason for however long is necessary when she decides to take the first step to get clean.

Two months later, Willis gets arrested and Catherine shows up at Wayne Manor and tells Bruce she signed up for inpatient, but she thinks it would be best for Jason and for herself if Bruce would be willing to take permanent custody. She stays in Jason’s life, just not as a mother figure.

☆彡

A year or so later, Bruce gifts Alfred with a vacation as an early birthday present. Things have been hectic with the sudden acquisition of two sons, and Alfred has done so much, he deserves a break. Bruce promises he’ll be able to handle two kids on his own.

Turns out, he was mostly right, but only just barely. The kids are fine, the manor not so much. He ends up hiring a few services to help out with general housekeeping. A couple of those workers also happen to be regular hires for the Drakes.

Bruce overhears them talking about how sad it is that those awful people treat their toddler more like a doll than a child. He learns that not only do they leave for long periods at a time while not hiring a proper nanny to watch over their son, just expecting the help to take care of him, but they also lock him away on his own whenever it’s ’not fashionable’ to have a 2 year old around.

Alfred comes back to the manor on August 15th, just in time to celebrate his and Master Jason’s birthdays together. He opens the door and dodged around a very excited 4 year old jumping up and down in the entry hall.

“ALFIE! ALFIE! BOOSE GOT ME A BABY BWOTHER FOR MY BIRFDAY! LOOK! LOOK! HIMS NAME IS TIMMY AND HE’S THE BESTEST!���

Alfred leans over to peak behind the boy, and sees a very quiet, very small child standing behind him.

“Oh, dear.”

☆彡

The day Bruce got the call from Talia telling him she was pregnant with his child was one of the best days of Bruce’s life. The day she called to tell him she miscarried was one of the worst.

The only blessing was that he didn’t need to explain it to his kids. Talia was going to move in once she was in her second trimester, and they planned to reveal her pregnancy together.

He got the call two weeks before her flight out. He begged her to come anyway, he loved her, they could still be a family. She refused.

Six and a half months later, he walks into his bedroom to find Talia standing by the window with a squirming bundle in her arms. With equal measures steel and sorrow in her eyes she tells Bruce she is sorry for what she put him through, but it was the only way to keep their son safe. He gathers them both in his arms and holds them tight as she explains.

Her father had planned to raise an heir to be the Demon Head. He would be kept a secret from Batman until the very end. But when Talia gave the final push to birth their son, he came out quiet. She panicked for a moment until her midwife quietly leaned down to listen to the baby’s breathing and then looked up with a soft smile, she bundled up the small thing and handed Talia her baby. Big beautiful green eyes blinked up at her. The midwife leaned closer to Talia and whispered, “Sadly, your son was stillborn. I’m deeply sorry for your loss, but surely The Great Head of the Demon would be willing to allow you some time away from your duties while you recover.” Talia allowed the woman to cover her beautiful cooing baby gently with soft linen and silk and carry him from the room. Later that night she left her home with her son and boarded the first flight to Gotham.

Tears gather on Bruce’s lashes and he tells her everything will be alright because now they can finally be together as a family. Once more, she refuses. She tells him Damian and his boys are far too precious for her to bring the danger of the league of assassins to their door. Bruce closes his eyes in sorrow, but nods his acceptance. He asks her to at least stay the night together. They fall asleep wrapped in each other’s arms with their baby boy safely bundled between them. Talia is gone when he wakes.

☆彡

It’s been one week since Talia left and, while still beyond upset, Bruce feels like he’s starting to have a decent handle on things. He is sitting with his boys at the breakfast table, Dick and Jason to his left, Tim to his right, Damian in his arms, and Alfred across from him. They’re finally able to have a relaxing breakfast. No babies crying, no food fights, no arguing, just the sounds of eating and gentle chatter.

He feels a small hand grab his right sleeve and give a gentle tug.

“Boo?” Tim asks, quietly. Bruce feels his heart warm at his son finally feeling like he can speak up without permission.

“Yes, sweetheart?”

“Why isn’t Big Sister sitting with us?”

Alfred is the only person in the room other than Tim to not startle at the sudden appearance of a 5 year old girl standing next to Bruce at the dining table. He simply sighs, stands up, and grabs another place setting for her at the table.

waynocchio – batman tales: once upon a crime

[ID: Talia al Ghul leaving in a helicopter as she cheerfully tells Damian, “Goodbye, my beloved!” Batman is driving away in the Batmobile as he reminds, “Stay put and don't get in trouble, son.” Damian whines, “Aww... why do you get to have fun at work, but I'm stuck here?!” END ID]

[starlooove]

I think a theme with me is that whatever problems a couple has I think we could and should make it worse by giving them a child

[oncillabrigade]

Okay, but these tags are a work of art?!

*Talia visiting Damian*

Talia: Damian, how are you? *glares at Dick*

Damian: I am doing well mother

Dick: *from behind him* *mouthing: why the fuck are you here?*

Talia: oh that's great! I see you have a new pet? *Mouthing back: to see MY son*

Damian: this is Haley, Grayson's dog, she's staying with me while he goes on a mission.

Dick: *flipping Talia off where Damian can't see* yep, he's so good with animals

Talia: I'm aware *throws a knife at him*

Dick: *throws it back*

[bruciemilf]

What about an AU where Talia's car breaks down conveniently close to an autoshop.

Gotham is built and divided by shady places and dark places, but this neighbourhood takes the shit cake.

Damian's been fussy the minute they got here, wooden toy sword waving dangerously from his tiny fist, aimed perfectly at three dark-haired boys arguing about directions,

One of them is named Jason. He reminds Talia of a black kitten she used to feed right under her father's nose, mischievous and sweet, " How can I be lost on my own turf?!"

Dick, from what she's seeing, likes to think of himself as the leader. She has the fond suspicion that he doesn't trust her one bit. Smart boy.

" Look, clearly, she's a very capable, independent woman who doesn't need a baby like YOU."

" I'm not a stupid baby! Tim's a stupid baby!"

Tim, who's nursing on a red robin pacifier, stomps his foot, '' I'm not a baby!"

"As adorable as this insult tournament is. Isn't this the place?"

Damian shakes in his baby carrier the second Talia steps foot in the autoshop. It smells faintly of oil and green tea and fresh, bitter coffee.

" B is gonna fix you right up. And then you can go," Dick is trying to wrestle Jason off, who's not in the least bit happy about being called a baby for the 10th time, " Just, -- OW, biting is againts the code! Tim, go get dad."

Damian and Tim, who have been sticking their tongues at eachother for the past minute, both roll their eyes at the order.

Their father looks nothing like she expected.

But then again, she never dared to hope she'd see him again.

Time changed, but he didn't. Those big brown eyes still put an uncomfortable knot of affection in her stomach, glowing softly with painful tenderness under long eyelashes.

Talia physically tastes the feeling of safety shivering down her back in warm chills. His name is on her lips like a silent prayer, a contrast to Damian screeching and wiggling and trying to break free from her arms to his.

Jason climbs on Bruce, who hasn't blinked once in the time he studied her with a frown, held onto his father's neck protectively. Bruce hugs back, pressing a kiss to the boy's temple. Damian hisses with jealousy,

" Bruce can't speak, but don't you think you can scam him because of it! Even pretty ladies have to pay."

Talia doesn't know what pain she prefers,

That either her beloved remembers her and hasn't searched for her,

Or the fact that he doesn't.

Either way. Explanations are owed.

Just realised it's halfway through Brutalia week and I've basically missed it

11k notes and this entire thing is filled with misinformation after misinformation. Headcanon Bruce to be whatever you want but leave Clark and Kon out of this because Clark was NOT a bad dad, hell Kon and Clark don't even have a precise father-son relationship. Their relationship is difficult to categorize on purpose because Kon can be like a brother or a cousin as well. Clark did not take the existence of Kon well at the START. But he accepts him and respects the kid very quickly.

Kon's name being a slur was a N52 thing with Kara, and it's been made obsolete and retconned. Here is how Kon-El really came to be:

Lex is not a good father or anything to Kon either. In Rebirth, Kon didn't technically exist in their universe yet but Clark was great about Kon:

(Action Comics 1022)

Clark really wants to help Kon, he is upset he doesn't remember him when everyone else does. CLARK CARES! He cares a lot even if the initial reaction to the news about how Kon came to be freaked him out. Which is understandable, because he did not consent to any of this but he accepted and guess where Kon is now? Guess who he hangs out with now? Superfam.

People act like Clark being a bad caretaker/sibling figure for Kon is canon when it is entirely fanon. Clark is a flawed parental figure, he is flawed with Jon too, but he tries his best and grows. Fuck everyone saying Clark Kent is worse than Bruce "I have given 5 Robins issues about themselves" Wayne as a guardian. I am DONE.

clark, discussing what to do about kon with bruce: you know what this means right?

bruce, nodding: yeah, you owe luthor a buttload of child support

clark: what - i - no??

bruce: i mean, it sucks that he baby trapped you but you don’t want to be a deadbeat

clark: he did not - i am not his father, luthor stole my DNA and put that [pointing at kon] into a tube

bruce: i want you to take one good look on how damian came to be

clark: … oh my rao… i am dead beat aren’t i?

[devine-fem]

“Damijon is baby superbat 🤪” WRROOOING!! Damijon is second generation Clois and Brutalia.

Damian is paying close attention to every interaction he and Jon has so he can catch him in a lie. Jon will enter a room and see Damian pissed off, rear his head and ask; “So how is this my fault?” Damian and Jon will see each other and jump into each other’s arms but once that moment is over they will act like they literally cannot stand each other. They act like they are divorced before they are ever engaged and God, will Damian hold Jon growing up on a farm over his head for the rest of his life? Absolutely.

[spicy-apple-pie]

I know you don't ship Brutalia, but will we see her again? I think if she knew Damian was with him she would go there immediately and just be a tiny ball of tears 24/ lol. She loved her baby so much 😭😭😭

Yes! Talia will return!!

Yeah, it’s true that I don’t really ship Brutalia, I ship them more in a divorce way. My ideal Brutalia dynamic is they truly loved each other at one point, but have since grown apart. But they still wish the best for each other, if not for the nostalgia of their younger years, for their son. They both mutually agreed that if it comes down to it, they would sacrifice the other to save Damian.

Also, if Talia’s in town, Selina and Bruce definitely make room for three in their bed if you know what I mean 😏

[highest-priority]

Bruce looks so...

I bet Bruce and Talia dress up as Gomez and Morticia Addams and then make itty bitty baby Damian dress up as baby Pubert from the Addams Family sequel.

If you have time to have an opinion on this question, take a minute to also read about Dina and Ahmed Alanqar. Ahmed was an accountant in Gaza before the genocide began. He and Dina now have four children, the youngest a baby born on June 24. Their home was destroyed, and they have been displaced repeatedly, so they live in a tent with little food, water, or medicine.

The good news is that their campaign to raise money to enable them to escape to Egypt is now over 90 percent funded:

Their campaign is vetted by Palestinian bloggers (see the Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundraiser List, line 264). As of 07:30 GMT on Sunday, October 27, 2024, they're up to €69,379 of their €75,000 goal. That means they have just €5,621 left to raise to reach their target.

Even if you can't afford to donate, please share and reblog.
