    Summary

    "I do not just have magic, Arthur. I do not just practise it."

    Arthur looks up, his knees digging fervent and hard into the stone, bullets of pain crackling up his thighs. Merlin looks down - impossibly, immeasurably sad. Tears drip from his chin and splash on Arthur's cheeks, but he cannot ignore the way they run past a mouth curled in contempt, in hatred. Their gentleness has, like fruit on a hot day or flowers forgotten about, rotted. There is nothing left now but their battle of fury, their back and forth of violence. Arthur remembers, a long, long time ago, that Morgana told him love and hate were not all that different. Now, he thinks he finally understands.

    "I was born with it. I am magic."

    --

    "It's... lonely." Merlin murmurs. "To be more powerful than any man you know, and have to live like a shadow. To be special, and have to pretend you're a fool. I know how it feels.

    I understand."

    Summary

    Child neglect isn't all bad, Tim tells himself when his parents sends apologies and mail-delivered gifts and an increased credit line for his 10th birthday. None of the other ten-year-olds have this kind of independence -- even Robin has a bedtime. And he's heard from Ives that his parents limit his "screentime", which sounds quite barbaric. So this is fine, really. He's ten and will be starting eighth grade in the fall. He doesn't need his parents in order to thrive, he can grow on his own, in the shadow of their neglect and inattention. He can be their set-it-and-forget-it kid.

    -----

    Tim is doing great being an independent vigilante, he's fine! He doesn't need help, he's definitely not estranged from the family -- he's just being independent.

    Good thing he's part of a family of detectives who have their own ways of reaching out.

    Featuring two powerpoints, one casefile, half a contract, a roomba, and several hugs.

    Summary

    So we all know the Wayne fam are canonically celebrities. So what shenanigans and chaos ensue when they get involved in all the inevitable celebrity media?

    PSA:
    Some fics in this series will involve romantic relationships. They will be tagged accordingly.
    If you prefer not to read such fics, I am more than happy to provide summaries of the events in that work (including key jokes that may come back). Additionally, feel free to ask to what degree the relationship will feature in a fic and in the series moving forward. You can leave these questions on any fic in this series, or on my tumblr
    Thank you

    Summary

    Standing over the grave of his son, Bruce Wayne made a deal.

    He would never be too late again. He would never again fail at saving what mattered most. Gotham would never be forced to suffer again because of his shortcomings, because he would become perfect.

    The shadowed figure’s hand was cold when he shook it.

    He would keep Gotham safe.

    And in exchange, Bruce Wayne would disappear from existence forever.
