Vincent was never meant to return to Gotham.

Once trained by Alfred Pennyworth and raised with quiet discipline in Wayne Manor, Vincent left home and built a career in the Special Forces. But after five long years missing in action, he's back-older, quieter, and not quite the same man he was.

He didn't expect Alfred to still be waiting.

He really didn't expect to find out that Bruce Wayne is Batman-or that the Wayne household is now full of costumed vigilantes who bicker over breakfast while fighting crime by night.

Now surrounded by capes, chaos, and found family, Vincent has to learn how to live again-one mission, one awkward meal, and one bruised rib at a time.

Because in Gotham, the line between battlefield and home is thinner than he ever imagined.

She's the kind of girl who believes in systems, not saviors; who spends her nights with lab reports and herbal tea, not rooftop chases. But Gotham has a cruel sense of humor, and when a late-night run-in with a certain blue-suited vigilante tangles her world with his, the line between logic and legend begins to blur. 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭. He's all movement and mercy, a flash of acrobat grace and broken humor. She's stillness and consequence, a quiet storm wrapped in sweaters and scars. In a city where heroes cast long shadows, Arcelia learns that not every savior wears a halo... and not every skeptic walks away untouched. Because sometimes, the person who challenges your beliefs is the one you can't stop orbiting. Gotham's chaos meets quiet resistance, and somewhere between bruises and philosophy, Nightwing learns what it means to be seen, not just followed. ٠࣪⭑ dickgrayson ٠࣪⭑ nightwingxoc ٠࣪⭑ waynefamily 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞: slow burns, late-night rooftop talks, and characters who question what it means to be "good," 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.
