(yeah, it’s reverse!robins)
Damian: “Richard. As you are getting older, there is something we need to discuss.”
Dick, age 15: “Uhhh, if this is The Talk, I already got it.”
Damian: “…It’s not, but that’s good to know.”
Damian: “No, you are rapidly approaching the age where most of us graduated from our childhood mantles and set out to forge our own independent identities. No one will take your current mantle away, of course, but it is likely people will expect you to be brainstorming where you want to go next in your life. If you have any plans, costume ideas, or names in mind. That sort of thing.”
Damian: “Any of us would be happy to help you workshop future identities if you would like to. I just need you to promise me one thing.”
Dick, leaning forwards in his chair: “What is it?”
Damian, with a haunted look in his eyes: “If Timothy says he has name suggestions, light them on fire and run.”

Y'all got me hooked on this au
It's Reverse Robins, Y'all!
Damian and Tim. I figure Dami was dropped off at Wayne Manor at around 8 / 9 and had some time to adjust before Bruce adopted Tim. Turns out Dami is the beat big bro???
Shadow and Nighthawk
EDIT: changed the hue of the colors so it's not as saturated (I'm sorry if that's not what it's called the only color theory I know is children's hospital)

I assume Jason just enjoys watching other people's family drama. He's like her hype man
It's nice to be reminded every so often that your life could be worse you could have slade Wilson as a dad it humbles Jason slightly
#ask#anon#he needs to be humbled#also funny idea that Jason likes watching rose and slade fight for the same reason i like the batfam#its cathartic to watch a family thats more fucked up then your own interact#onto cheerier news#i decided to finally peak at the results of that au poll#and ngl im quick surprised at how many votes the billy jason friendship got#honestly didnt think so mant of you were invested in that one#dw btw i obviously will be continuing all my aus especially the ones on that list#adhd brain just meant i was struggling to figurd out which one i should do first#this poll is just to put them in order#so yeah looking like your gonna be getting more reverse batkids soon#yeeyee

Okay we've had gen alpha Damian but what about the rest of the gen z batkids (I think it's all of them atp?). Any headcanons for them?

Jason: I said not now.

Have you considered Tim stealing all potential robins before Bruce even can meet them?
Tim has Janet and Jack take in dick at the circus
dick and Tim out and about meet Jason and whoops new sibling
Cass follows them home and who would say no to a new sister?
Damian is out on the wrong doorstep and no take backs
Jason and Tim tutored Steph and when he noticed her life going to shit? New sister!!!!
A young boy is smart enough to start his own child gang so cute! New brother!!
then one day Bruce from another universe gets dropped in to this one…
Yes yes... however, this AU would call for either two Drakes interaction: the Drakes are amazing fabulous parents who love all of their new kids or they are absent and either don't care or don't know Tim is adopting every sibling he sees. You couldn't reasonable do abusive Drakes in this AU and have all the kids agree to be adopted (Cass would leave and steal everyone else with her).
I'm all for Tim stealing his siblings from Bruce, but another funny AU would be a reverse batkids age order one. Tim, after his parents die at like 12, just makes up a fake guardian for himself. Then Duke's parents get gassed/Duke starts a gang. Tim instantly adopts him as older brother material.
Damian, after seeing Tim trying to help Duke, gets interested in what they are doing. Tim latches on to *another* older brother material (and this one can teach him cool fight moves!)
Cass, who sees Tim helping some people out, decides to follow him. Tim decides younger sister material.
Tim, when out and about, gets hit by a brick in the face? New friend! (You can decide how their relationship progresses)
Tim's doing stupid shit in Crime Alley when he meets a kid who begrudgingly saves Tim's ass? Younger brother material!
They go to the circus and meet a kid recently orphaned? Good thing Tim's "guardian" is so chill with adopting so many siblings :)

I finally fucking got to reading some Duke comics and now I’ve gotta talk about reverse robins because where tf do I fit him in with how I’m structuring my AU
now I am a firm believer in swapping order but keeping their backstories the same with the only things changing being the things that make sure there is a new Robin (so like Dick going to Blud, Jason dying, Tim getting benched/quitting etc but w their counterparts)
this makes Duke difficult though, since he doesn’t fit into the usual Batkids formula (which I love and find to be such a breath of fresh air but makes fitting him in so difficult ��😭)
but after thinking on it if I were to choose a character to pair him with it’d be Tim so please hear me out:
- Tim and Duke both are very intelligent, figuring out secret identities of the Bats (Tim: Bruce and Dick, Duke: Damian and Alfred).
- their parental situations
- the reasons they became vigilantes not being because Bruce picked them (ok, Duke kinda debatable because Alfred but shh)
- Dick and Tim’s swapped with Damian and Duke would be better than Damian and Jason if you look at their interactions
based on these things their stories are swappable, though it still doesn’t entirely work with how I want to do the others. mostly because I can’t move We Are Robin and make it make sense. as I’ve said I for the most part want their stories to be kept and giving We Are Robin away just makes me itch
the other reason I’m hesitant to do so is bc it would require me to find someone else to pair up with Jason and that that is basically impossible 🧍
anyways if anyone has suggestions please let me know, I’ve been reading RR posts and very little even have Duke so I’m out of inspo

do you have any good reverse robins fic to rec?
oh hell yeah!
Reverse Robins: Joker Junior series by miyaji_08 i rec’d the second fic in this series over here for the timkon of it all, but the series—two parts, both complete—is also one of my absolute favorite reverse robins stories. it goes the joker junior!tim route, so heads up for A Lot of tim-centric trauma, but gives tim (and everyone else) so much healing, too. it also gets creative with the robin of it all, as in, the call sign for batman’s partner is different from the jump because dick wasn’t around to originate “robin” for it, which i always think is a fun extra detail. the batfam characters are great and the young justice crew is also great, so read for top-tier hurt and comfort and great characters and satisfying plot and tim and damian competing to see who is the most Tired big brother of the bunch.
blood of the covenant by envysparkler robins are angsty in any order, but man does this hit the angst sweet spot, which in turn makes the soft parts feel even softer. i genuinely can’t decide what my favorite dynamic is in this AU, between damian & tim (damian wracked with guilt, tim hurting and still wanting an older brother even if he’d never admit it) and tim & jason (no spoilers but chapter 4 especially lights my brain up like a supernova) and tim & dick (i think about the part where dick grayson [tiny, cheerful] uses tim [undead, annoyed] as a jungle gym like once a week).
Wing Beats in Reverse by firefright a longfic where jason gets kidnapped by the mysterious red hood, who turns out to be jason’s not-so-dead predecessor. the jason pov here is great, and i was so compelled by how this AU explored his place in the bat family, and how it managed the emotional fallout from the kidnapping. tim is also so interesting in this—it does something i love in a reverse robins concept, which is make tim’s motivations (and lazarus pit effects) less about anger/hurt/revenge and more about ice cold logic, about being the villain so the bats don’t have to/whether they want him to or not. plus some league of assassins trauma as a cherry on top. also, kon gets to show up for a bit. (as a fair warning—and spoilers ahead—the fic has a somewhat hopeful ending for tim, but doesn’t reach full reconciliation in the scope of the plot.)
i woke up so worried that the angels let go by circees a short but potent batkids age reversal au that’s also a grisha au, starring duke as the coveted sun summoner that damian is trying to deliver to safety without mentally adopting a new brother (damian fails on the second part). even with my limited memory of grisha lore i could tell a lot of thought was put into this au, and i have a feeling it would be even better if you are able to catch all the details. i also love that even in a fantasy world where some of the bat family have magical abilities, duke is still extra special—a great analogy to being a metahuman among the bats.
The 90s Are Back! by RedWritingHood saving the two silly ones for last to lighten the mood! in this one, red hood!tim gets de-aged to sixteen and meets all his new siblings. it’s like .01% angst and 99.99% shenanigans, and pretty much all the dialogue is super quotable but Dick holds out his hands like he's calming a bunch of wild animals. "Okay, I know everyone's real upsetti spaghetti right now, but I think we all just need to calm down." might take the cake.
Clowns Don’t Kill People by mademoisellePlume very short, very silly reverse robins brother shenanigans, in which tiny dick grayson isn’t scared of recovering joker junior!tim because dick, having been raised in the circus, doesn’t associate clowns with evil yet. the fic is fun (and a great palate cleanser if you need a break from the angst above), and the author’s note at the end made me fully laugh out loud.
#reverse robins#fic rec#batfam#when tim as the undead robin is done well it's so 🤌🤌🤌#once again i reserve the right to add more later because i def forgot some

I actually really like the idea of a reverse robin/batkids au. i think it could be a really interesting character study to see how their birth order/ the order the were adopted in changes things.
unfortunately i haven't come across a single interesting looking fic, because they all seem to just tell the canon (really the fanon) storyline and just change the names around. like, thats just so boring???
its also usually just an excuse to wombify dick and jason and give tim jasons character arc. which is also boring.
im not going to touch on the weird batcest side of it but that is also just so icky.
#they also usually only focus on the 4 main robins and either don't include or barely mention any of the girls or duke#anti batfanon#fandom critical#anti reverse robins#anti batcest

Ever imagine what would happen if Dick was a child Talon?
What about if he was a talon in a Reversed Robin AU and was sent to attack/kill his older brothers?
That's exactly what I made!

Damian slipping a dagger into Steph’s coffin as a funerary gift, because he would never risk sending his sister into the afterlife unarmed.
Steph waking up in her dress in her grave without even a belt buckle to her name, but feeling that hilt digging into her hip. Steph using the dagger to dig her way out.
Talia coming to retrieve Steph off the streets, and Steph still has that dagger. Steph pulling it on Talia on pure instinct.
Talia confirming Steph’s identity by Steph’s stance & grip—exactly the way Damian taught her (exactly the way he learned from his mother.)
Steph recognizing Damian’s features in Talia, and lowering the knife in confusion. Talia taking Steph by the wrist and leading her into the vehicle that will take them out of Gotham until Steph makes her grand return.

One of the things that I would most want to explore if I ever get around to writing a Reverse Robins and/or Reverse Batkids AU is how much Bruce has changed over time. Dick era Bruce who makes puns and comes up with silly names just to get his kid to giggle would be matched up with Duke and/or Damian, Jason era Bruce who was maximum doting father would be matched up with Tim and Steph and/or Cass. Tim/Steph era Bruce who was grieving and violent and trying to be more urban legend than man would be paired up with Jason and/or Cass. Modern era Bruce who is so serious and emotionally constipated but trying his hardest and has lost so much and gained so much and honestly seems kinda lost would be paired up with Dick and/or Duke (this doesn’t really take into account all of modern/Damian/Duke era since that Bruce has been all over the place, so I’m going with my read of him in the most current comics).
Anyway, I think about this a lot. As well as how, given the different circumstances, each kid would join the Batfamily and how they would transition from out of Batman’s shadow.
For the record even though no one asked, Reverse Robins order is Damian, Barbara, Tim, Stephanie, Tim, Cassandra, Jason, Dick, Duke. Reverse Batkids order is Duke, Damian, Cassandra, Tim, Stephanie, Tim, Jason, Barbara, Dick. Whether it’s Tim, Stephanie, Tim or just Tim, Stephanie, next person depends on how hard I want to push my Red Hood Stephanie Agenda.

I think the difficulty of a Reverse Robins AU for me is that I expect a bunch of things to be true that aren't always. and I do have a lot of leeway because it's more a vibes thing! but it makes it difficult to plan one even in my head. it's like
ages have to be reversed, obv. this is really difficult for Helena since she's simultaneously the second oldest and the youngest. also an issue since I go in introduction order, not in-text age.
adoption order also has to be strictly reversed. this includes other items like Tim becoming Robin, Jason coming back to life, Dick getting formally adopted, etc.; everything has to be switched
their backstory, including tragedies that left them orphaned, abandoned, etc. has to remain attached to the character as in the original story. BUT
their narrative, including their method of adoption, has to follow whichever character they're replacing, which does require a bit of fiddling to stick the pieces together
it also means that whoever gets adopted after Damian (or Mattie, if you're including him) has to wait a LONG time if you're following the timeline strictly
which is why you could like. reverse the vibes? but then you have to really piece apart what each character's vibes are doing as they get added to the family and that's extremely thematically complex. and you can only do one or the other
which batkids are you including anyway
#look i said something#honestly I kind of like starting with Mattie because then once you kill Terry off you can switch the narrative into Batman Beyond#because you're swapping the current and future timelines (you can also do this with Carrie)#so the rest of the Batkids belong to old man Bruce who got jumpstarted back into the game somehow (Damian)#and then Terry comes back to life in the future....

Okay, so
I wrote a scene of my fanfic and I really liked it AND I'd like to translate it to English properly but my English is not the best, so I'll just describe the situation in it:
It's a Reverse Robins AU but for this scene it doesn't really matter, considering the fact that after all things that changed, including different roles for every batkid in the family, Jason still died. Because I just want some immortal!Jason (i mean the thing where he is very much able to die but he wakes up some time after) appreciation, okay? I mean, there are some things in comics that KINDA prove that (mostly the thing at the end of the Under The Red Hood arc, I'm pretty sure many people saw that theory). And, well. Things go the same as canon went once (annual #25 of Batman and some parts about Talia taking care of Jason in the Red Hood: The Lost Days) until after the Lazarus Pit.
You know how Ra's got reeeaaaally upset after That Thing with the Lazarus Pit? He didn't kill her but boy he was really intimidating. Probably because he was fresh out of the Pit.
Soon after he sends people after Jason Todd. And in my AU days later he has to deal with some urgent League business far away himself, suspecting that Talia set this up to let Jason escape the League assasins. Is he right? Is he wrong? Who knows.
Anyways,
We know that Jason was in some motel and got the news that Joker is still alive and as always goes in and out of Arkham like he owns the place. And we also know that in Lost Days after that he leaves all the trackers Talia put on him behind and runs away, trying to get to Gotham (and kill Bruce with that bomb under the Batmobile).
The thing is, in my AU he doesn't get far away before the League men catch him and bring him back to the League. Oops.
Ra's still isn't there but Talia knows that it won't take too long and she fears that as soon as Ra's gets the news of Jason being caught he'll order to eliminate him. You know, because of the stuff he told Talia about Jason being havoc or desease or something. You probably remember better than me, if you read the Lost Days.
But again, that's not the point.
The point is, that Talia (in my AU) for certain reasons actually suspects Jason being able to ressurect again. There is only one way to find out - to kill Jason. It would also keep her father's interest long enough to set Jason free once she's ready.
Jason, by the way, trusts her, even though he shouldn't and even though he doesn't remember most of the time being... unwell before the Pit.
So he doesn't expect her poisoning him with a f TEA.
The scene I wrote and can't translate good enough is about what happened right after, where Jason wakes up (and i really forgot here that i wanted to make him universal glitch again so he would wake up always after 6 months BUT I WANTED THIS SCENE TO HAPPEN SO BADLY), trying to pull himself together, and after an hourS long brooding and existential crisis he finally walks to the room next to this one (which is some sort of morgue or the infirmary, he isn't sure) just to see Talia, calm as ever, slitting there, cleaning her blade, relaxed, and he should be furious, but she just says, still looking at the blade, "Regrets are for fools". And you know, I did some decent Talia description in this dialogue but it's all in Russian and I'm a little sad.
But the thing is, Jason, knowing her, realises that she's lying to herself - and he answers after a minute of sudden muteness that if she wasn't sorry she wouldn't say something like that in the place where no soul would accuse her of anything.
And - her shoulders drop a little and she, like, relaxes. And THEN he realises that oh shit, it was her twisted and stupid way to say Sorry. And he knows he should be angry, because she poisoned him, killed him, and now she's sorry?? But he doesn't get angry, he is a little amused by this little exchange and bone-tired, but he's not angry even a little.
After that there are few more kinda cool things i wrote in Russian and then he tries to get warm and kinda just wants to rest and to look as empty as he feels and to curl in the corner under some blanket, so Talia delicately leaves the room and lets him grieve himself.
And the last line of the scene is Jason remembering what she said him once, long time ago,
"Don't show your own weakness and always aim for your enemy's one." Врушка.
Врушка basically means "little liar" and can be used as affectionate word.
So. I don't know why but i just wanted to write it. Still wish I had some person who could help me translate things in the cool way. But whatever.

WIP Cheers for the tag @charmsandtealeaves!
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
If this has taught me one thing it’s that I need to make an actual WIP folder, rather than just having everything loose in Google Docs. Warning in advance: this is going to be chaos…
