Summary
Bruce hadn't wanted another son, not after Jason, not after experiencing that hurt.
He hadn't wanted another Robin either, but Tim Drake had something to say about that, which is fine, it can be purely a work relationship...But this time the Drakes have something to say about that.
Or:
Bruce is grieving Jason, having another son wasn't even a thought but one unfortunate night Bruce learns that Tim is being neglected.
Bruce takes the boy in, the purely work relationship turned into father/son. Not only does Bruce start to heal, he feels guilty about it.Or more simply: Bruce is grieving and is guilty about moving on, Tim learns that his parents never had his best interest at heart, Dick is trying his best, and Alfred is doing his best...oh and years later they learn that Jason is still alive.

Summary
Batman will never admit it, but he did need another Robin. He required the happiness a child brought to his life, both inside and outside the mask. Since the death of his second son, Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne's life had been spiraling deeper into depression and pain, clouding his judgment. He was convinced that little Tim Drake, who lives next door, is nothing but a hindrance to him and will only get himself killed, just like Jason. So he pushes his new Robin away, holds him at arm's length, and refuses to allow himself to care again in a desperate attempt to save himself the heartbreak. That is, until his little bird gets gassed by fear toxin in an old warehouse, and it's revealed Tim's greatest fear is none other than Batman. It shouldn't have taken this much for Bruce to realize he does care, more than his heart can take, but better late than never, right?

Summary
[Sokka is five when the first mark appears.
It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.
When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments.
“Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”
Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.
A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]
Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.

Summary
Dick Grayson would say he’s a family man. He learned that family means everything from his deceased parents. So that was his motto, family means everything. That’s why he let Bruce convince him to go undercover in Spryl and fake his death, that’s why he took all the insults thrown his way by his brothers when he came back alive. That’s why he didn’t contact them or anyone when they didn’t want to after.
Dick Grayson was used to feeling alone, around civilians mostly because of his secret vigilante life. But now, he felt alone everywhere. In the hero community and in his civilian life as a police officer.
That’s why, when he followed a lead to a warehouse and got shot in the back by a mysterious plasma gun. He didn’t press his emergency button. It’s not like anyone would come for him anyway.
