Since he was 8 years old, Dick Grayson has moved from foster home to foster home throughout Gotham. Now 16, Dick is living in an abusive household with foster parents that hate him. 

After receiving a scholarship for Gotham Academy and starting his junior year at a new school, his home life is getting worse and worse.

Dick's foster parents are furious after discovering that he sneaks out every night without their permission.

What they don't know is that he's actually out fighting crime alongside Batman, previously as Robin and now as Nightwing.

And what Batman doesn't know is Nightwing's secret identity whatsoever. Ever since the pair started working together, they had an agreement that they didn't need to know each other's identity.

So Batman believes that Nightwing is a normal kid with a normal life and a normal family. But that all changes one day when his sidekick starts coming to 'work' with visible bruises and flinching at everything that he does.

Has he always done that and did Bruce just not notice until now? Or is something really bad going on here?

What would Bruce do if he did find out about Nightwing's home life?

Steady On Forward by JayseHasNoGrace

Dick Grayson's life has never been easy, but he'd like to think it's been going better lately. He's been operating mainly out of Gotham again for almost a year, and has been in a steady relationship for just over. He knows where he stands with crime-fighting, and the family is all on pretty good terms, considering. Things are really going pretty well. Unfortunately, the balance doesn't last long, and old horrors from Dick's past end up dredged up alongside new ones. This is a story about love and family, but equally so about trauma and healing from it. Please heed the warnings in the preface. ______________________________________________ •Written May 2019 ̶ October 2020• [Complete, 97k words] Thank you to @violenttulips for the endless support and feedback! ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ (Art featured on cover by FightClubFIEND via DeviantArt; 'Night Wing Emblem'.

Mortality [Wattys2017] by ChemicalVelocity

[COMPLETE] Jacey and her brother Jason were raised by their drug abusing mother and criminal father until the age of eight. Their father was imprisoned and their mother overdosed, causing her own death. Jacey and Jason then ran away, finding themselves homeless and on the run constantly in the dark streets of Crime Alley in Gotham. They stole and conned their way through life for two years, pawning things off for money. One night they spotted the car of Batman himself. The vigilante was nowhere in sight, so they tried to steal the tires from it. The twins were caught in the process, forcibly explaining that they had no home and no parents. The Bat saw something, a fighting spark, but also a potentially dangerous criminal future in them and took them in. Bruce Wayne saw to it that the Todds were placed in a school for troubled youths which turned out to be Ma Gunn's School for Crime. Jason and Jacey earned the Robin mantle a short while later by helping Batman apprehend the gang of thieves. However, they did not wear the Robin costume until they underwent six months of intense training. From there Jason and Jacey took turns being Robin each night for four years. And that, is where their story begins...

It Comes With the Cape by ninjanerd1001

Life as a Robin ain't easy. People constantly try to kidnap you or use you as leverage or get a king's ransom for you or just get in your head. Not a good time. It was entirely a book of kidnapping, but now it's just general one-shots of the lives of Bruce Wayne's adoptees (and biological children) being the hard knock life. 1. Random Joker thing that I'm not proud of (with smol Robin!Dick) 2 & 3. Buncha rich boys on a yacht (ish) (parts 1 and 2) 4. Smol Civilian Dick gets kidnapped and is grumpy about it 5. Robin!Tim gets captured and sold by some guy to be killed. It's anticlimactic 6. Robin!Tim needs sleep 7. Civilian Damian joins in the fun 8. They kidnappin' everyone up in here 9. Fear gas 10. Robin!Tim Guest starring the Sirens 11. Civilian Dami gets kidnapped, Red Robin Tim screws up, Red Hood Jason screws around 12. Civilian!Tim Kidnap-ception (plus a birthday) 13. Truth serum 14. Tim gets the big ouch

Alone by AhsokaTanoJedi

Nightwing has been abandoned, first by his mentor, Bruce, then by Wally, his best friend, then by his second family, and now by everyone else. They blame him for what happened to Wally, they blame him for Kaldur almost dying, for Megan getting captured, for the destruction of the cave, and for keeping this all secret from them. Nobody asked him if he wanted to be left in charge, nobody asked him if he was alright during the invasion, nobody seemed to remember that he was only eighteen, nobody seemed to realize that he had to become Batman and protect Gotham along with Bludhaven , and nobody seemed to care about what their words did to him. Everyone knows that stress can hurt you, that you should try to get unstressed when you are stressed. However, some people can't, and so, what happens to them? Warning: language is used, and has some depressing thoughts. Read at your own risk.

Deja Vu by AJElementus

Waking up on the edge of a random rooftop is never a good thing. Add to that the gap in his memories, the 8 year outdated suit he's wearing, and the vastly changed cityscape... Oh man, Dick hates time-travel! Or... the time Nightwing finds himself in the past and has to find his way home without totally destroying the timeline. Too bad it won't be easy for him... With Bruce investigating a new, yet familiar antihero, Dick trying to unravel the mystery of how he got here in the first place, and a snooping Tim looking way younger than Dick remembers... this is going to be a long week.

My Super-Story by Hollybear12

Young Grace Hunter finds herself in trouble when she decides to write a book about all the superheroes and villains of the Justice League and Marvel, then put it up for sale on eBay. Follow her as she finds the truth of her parents and learns to control her powers. While Batman and Nightwing try to figure her out, she's creating a name for herself with Ra's Al Ghul. The Joker steals her life and everything she ever cared about from her. Bruce Wayne takes her in. In his mind it goes a little like this "Keep Your Friends Close, But Your Enemies Closer!" Will this be a great romance or a story of tragedy. This is a fanfiction for specifically Justice League but Marvel and other story and movie characters will show up along the way, I do not own most characters, I only own my creation Grace and Quarters Hearts and the story plot. Hope you like! If there are spelling mistakes I'm sorry, I keep going back to revise every once and awhile.

Belong Here With Us (Wayne Family Adventures Fan-Fiction) by Beck_Stynes_027

"That name's familiar, right, Mr. Wayne?" In building rubble, Gotham's vigilantes find a mysterious young woman, unharmed but shaken. No reason for being there. No origin, past or trust in the Batfamily. She drops a bombshell; she knows Batman's identity and must face him after outracing death. Her refusal to trust anyone, and connection to a man whose very moniker spells danger, brings tension. Walls crumble, helping her old self emerge from memories of demons-past and present-that even she's reluctant to acknowledge. She may also just be a kindred spirit; damaged. What chased her to them? Unimaginable worlds exist outside your comfortable cities or worst nightmares... but love, family and loss are universal. Mourning alone, far from home, is where no one deserves to be. (Reading time is inaccurate. It's way shorter, and I'm hopefully gonna rewrite the first few chapters.) *Recommended ages 15+. Strong language, violence and implied sexual or intense situations. Brace yourself; that's the trigger warning. The protagonist is an OG character based in 'Wayne Family Adventures' universe (WFA Chapter 7 is a joke chapter). Includes features from other DC movies, universes and comics, but some author-original concepts. Cover's Webtoon art with a stock image.
