[PODFIC] despite all of his efforts by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for cuephrase
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
16 Aug 2024

Summary
The first time Damian had endured solitary confinement, he’d been three years old. It was not, unfortunately, the last time his mother and grandfather had deemed that particular hell necessary for Damian to experience.
He prefers to believe that he has mastered the ability to undergo isolation.
That belief is challenged as soon as Grayson orders him to go to his room.
Or, Damian gets sent to his room after disobeying a direct order on patrol and it kind of, sort of, maybe triggers some anxiety and insecurities.

Lately I have come to believe that the principal difference between heaven and hell is the company you keep there.
—Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campaign
In the first days of spring, the king of Gotham announces the engagement of his eldest daughter Cassandra to Lord Timothy, heir to the Drake dukedom.
Princess Cassandra is a reserved, cautious woman who can break a man's spine with ease. Tim is more used to formal conference speech than talking with a peer. And that's before things get complicated.

The rambling cuts off abruptly, stony silence ringing from the other end of the line, but Jason knows Bruce is listening. Listening and running through several calculations on how someone— and who— could have gotten this number, while simultaneously tracking the call signal.
This is gonna be fucking gold.
Time to sell it.
“Dad,” he sobs, pitching his voice until it breaks, teeth chattering exaggeratedly, “Dad, please, I’m scared, I-“ Jason cuts himself off with a scream and another series of sobs, “Please, I can’t— it’s locked! Please, no, Dad, it’s locked—“
OR
Jason's need for drama successfully derails his plans for vengeance “Red Hood“ style

A few months after Dick returns to speaking terms with Bruce, he gets stuck in Gotham with the flu.

Summary
Bruce checks Tim’s IV. “Are you in any pain? Do you need more morphine?”
Tim’s pupils are so wide that only the faintest ring of blue can be seen. He watches Bruce the way a five-year-old watches cartoons. “I’m all good, B-dog. All Gucci, like we cool teens say." His words are slurred almost beyond recognition, but Tim doesn’t seem to notice or care. "I could fight Superman right now.”

Summary
He was face-to-cowl with Batman now, separated by a diplomatic six or so feet. Clark could be reasonable about this. He could.
“Robin is finished,” he said, folding his arms. “From now on, that boy stays at home at night. If he doesn’t, I will see to it that he is taken away from you.” Clark let his fingers curl into fists under his arms, loose. He was being firm, not threatening, the way one is with a child who doesn’t know not to touch a hot stove.
Batman didn’t even twitch.

Summary
Even without context, as always Dick is enthralling in his storytelling. “What’s happening?” Tim asks, fascinated to know what’s got Dick so animated this time.
It’s the smallest of expressions.
Dick blinks at him, like for a moment, he forgot Tim was there.
Then he’s twisting in his chair to face him, eyes bright with the promise of a new audience. “Okay, so - remember how I told you about my new manager at the studio? Well get this - he made this new rule that audience members aren’t allowed to wear hats when they come to see the kids’ recitals. It’s part of the ‘audience dress code’, a thing which one hundred percent he just made up himself - ”
Tim watches Dick attentively. He laughs at all the right points. He even lets out a small gasp when he knows it’s expected.
And it’s good. It’s a good story, and Dick is so happy to tell it.
***
The frustrating thing when he gets like this is that it’s never triggered by anything real.
