Brucewayneisagooddad Stories

At the start, everything looks normal on the surface. Damian is back in school after a teacher change, and at first it seems like just another substitute situation. But the tone shifts quickly once Mr. Applewood is introduced. He isn't just strict-he's unpredictable and unfair, using humiliation and fear as control in the classroom. Meanwhile, at Wayne Manor, the Bat-family starts picking up small inconsistencies in Damian's behavior. He's quieter about school. More rigid. Less willing to talk. Dick tries to joke it off, Bruce thought it's just a normal behavior of a kid and Jason-more sensitive to anger and injustice than he lets on-starts noticing the pattern first. Something about Damian's silence doesn't sit right with him. Bruce is a good dad in this story, a lot of Jason and Damian in this and I would try to include the other bat-family members like Cass and Steph. also, the cover is not mine

"Bruce wasn't sure what he was expecting the afterlife to be like but... not this." he is dead, and now discovering the afterlife and reflecting on some of his life choices. Bruce does not regret batman or any of his children, but somtimes he wishes he did things differently. or: Basically an excuse for Bruce wayne angst. First few chapters will be slow but it gets depressing fast. (This story had been discontinued and may be rewritten somtime in the future)

Everybody wears masks. Physical or metaphorical. Sometimes both. Sometimes more than one. And the reasons may vary. Some aim to better the way they're perceived. While others seek to protect themselves and those around them. Some people wear masks to dissociate from their lives. And others do it to justify their actions-however honorable or barbaric they may be-without consequence. Most importantly, masks cover the rawest version of oneself. A person who wears a mask actively chooses to hide a truth about themselves. To deceive others so as to never be forced to acknowledge who they are at their core. They are not to be trusted. Or It's been six months since Bruce donned the suit for the first time. Six months of readjusting his entire social life for one mission. One city. He finds out he underestimated the toll it'd have on him. You'd think it gets easier-playing up the charm at parties, dodging suspicions, making up believable excuses. It takes great time and effort, but Bruce Wayne's nothing if not determined. Yet, what's he to do when one bored woman he accidentally let into his life starts to dig too much too fast? Well, Alfred *did* say he'd need allies. Maybe even friends. || Also on AO3 ||
