Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

Summary
'Bruce Wayne wakes up in the past, five months after Jason Todd died, and spends most days sat beside the grave because he never found out exactly when Jason had come back and he wanted to be there to save him when he did.
From an outside perspective, everyone is extremely concerned.'
Was a short one-shot based off a Tumblr prompt I posted (Username: Remarcely), chapter two has been added

Regret And Forget The New Family, Same Faces by LuneWolf13

Summary
Damian Al Ghul Wayne dies pathetically. Pathetically, but peacefully, with two brothers by his side and the voice of his father in his ear. He foolishly believes that he won't resurrect someway or another.
Why. Why did he think that?
Why, after all he's seen and heard to prove the absurdity of his family's track record? When he himself has swum out of the Pit, when Todd clawed out of his own grave, when Father has been miraculously returned thanks to Drake's renowned spite and need to prove that Father was indeed alive? He honestly should have known better than to think the universe felt anything but hate for him.
Or: Damian dies and wakes up as a baby. As you can imagine, he's not particularly pleased about the baby part. Or that he's in a different dimension with no way to go back.
The silver lining is that he now has the chance to be Bruce's only child (temporarily at least). But that's only after he gets out of the reach of Ra's Al Ghul because in case he forgot to mention, he woke up in the League.
Fuck. How the hell is he going to survive Nanda Parbat and vigilantism all over again? He'd like to live past the age of thirteen this time.

Summary
Wow, what doesn't happen in this fic?
There are Amazon Prime packages delivered to Batman from Red Hood in the form of a bloody and beaten Robin. This makes Bruce, Dick, Barbara and Alfred SAD. Tim sees that it makes them SAD and decides that he does not like them being SAD and he needs to get Jason back in the family and cure him of his Lazarus Pit Menty Bs (mental breakdowns).
So he comes to the only logical solution: meet Talia Al Ghul.
But Good Dad Bruce Batman does not like that so Tim does the only other logical thing: quit being Robin (by accident).
Then he goes to meet with Talia Al Ghul.
And he comes out with an assassin son.
So now Tim has to raise a homicidal bratty 10-year-old Damian along with running and hiding from the Bats while trying to cure Jason of his green eggs and ham rages and get the family back together.
Oh hey! What's that there in the distance! *zooms camera*

The second Robin's introduction to the Team is disrupted by the sudden appearance of two young men from another world. That would be enough to make Batman invested, but when he finds out one of them used to be a Robin, there's no holding him back.

Summary
“Because, maybe, everything made sense now. All of it. Their incessant need to risk their lives every night. The anger coursing through their veins with every punch, kick, and attack at the criminals. The compulsive need to hold everything in their grasp, to control it all, just to make sure everyone they ever cared about was safe. All the pain, the grief, they’ve experience in their life led to this moment here.”

Summary
The myths have a lot of variants, sure. But see - we're demigods. We know the truth. When Prometheus molded humans from clay, he didn't just give them four arms, four legs, and two faces. Nah, he decided that he would give them four wings.
Zeus, being the paranoid bastard that he is, decided to separate the humans, very graciously granting them their lives. However, he took the wings, claiming them as part of his domain.
The wings had a mind of their own. They got free. The gods wrangled them in exchange for sharing the sky. Zeus, very grumpily, agreed. And so every demigod was giving their pair of wings. They sprouted without warning. But the moment they did, they knew that their time was limited.

Summary
Damian looks at him, a million things going on in his head. “The Heir.”
That’s not… technically true. He looks at Talia, sending her a look. She looks back with a ‘do not tell him.’ He could understand why. They’re trying something new with Damian, something they couldn’t get to do to Danyal who was already the first born. They’re trying to get him to strive for something.
And Danny does exactly the opposite. “No, not anymore– but I am more than that now.” he slowly takes Damian’s hand. “I am your brother, your protector.” He grips Damian’s hand with conviction. “I am your family.” He says with finality.
.
OR The al Ghul heir died, which is how Damian al Ghul inherits the title of heir. By technicality, he gets to keep that title even if the eldest son is revived two years later.
Some things happens, and eventually Danny is tasked to escort his younger brother, the heir, to their father. They didn't... exactly tell him he's also to be delivered to Bruce Wayne.
To be fair, they could really work with their method of communication!
(OR OR The adventures of Danny as he traverses to and from Gotham as the technically-not-heir of al Ghul.)

Summary
If there was one thing Jason learned from his time in the League of Assassins it was to not rely on others for vital intel. It had quickly become apparent that Talia had drastically misinformed him about his Replacement when he went to the tower to beat a kid. A fucking kid, Red Hood was supposed to protect kids not break their legs, and ribs and scribble on the walls in their blood. When the Green receded enough that he could think again, he realized that he had been played by a master.
Jason made sure that he wasn’t going to get caught like that again. So instead of completing his highly complicated plan of starting a gang war to break Joker out of prison to try and get Bruce to kill for him - how high was he when he made that plan?- he put everything on hold and started his own research.
