Fan fiction

  • "it holds me 'til i ache (overflow and start to break)" by discowing (2020) - Damian is starting to fledge, and it brings up memories for both him and Dick.
  • "Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow" by ShariDeschain (2020) - Or, the one where after a long, long time the Batman and The Red Hood meet on a rooftop.
  • "Where They are Just and Loyal" by withthekeyisking (2020) - Everyone who meets Damian is sure that he's going to be a Slytherin, like his father and mother before him. Dick's never had a doubt in his mind that the kid would end up in Hufflepuff. It's just that now that it's actually happened, they have to deal with the fallout.
  • "To love a child not your own" by Literarian (2021) - He didn’t know what to expect, but it certainly wasn’t Talia with colourful sling wrapped around her body and an honest to God baby.
  • "A little more heart and soul" by ruesyblues (2022) - What do you do when the brother you raised and loved and left now seems to be withdrawing and you want the best for him but you're not sure if you did the right thing and oh fuck what if you made a mistake?? (Dick wants Damian to be happy. He just has no clue how to accomplish that.)
