Are you familiar with the 1987 comic "Batman: Son of The Demon"
It presents Damian’s original concept, long before his origin was changed to say that he was raised by the League of Assassins. At the end of the story, Talia pretends to suffer a miscarriage and, in reality, gives the baby to an orphanage, where he ends up being adopted by an ordinary family. All that remains of his former life is a necklace given to him by Talia.
Now imagine an alternate reality in which this Damian grows up as a completely normal person, with no influence from the League of Assassins. He meets Jon as a child, the two grow up together (without that age gap created by the comics), become best friends, then fall in love, start dating, get married, and build a life together.
Then, years later, Bruce Wayne meets Damian for the first time. During their conversation, his eyes stop on the necklace he is wearing. For a moment, he freezes.
"...Wait... I know that necklace."
It is at that moment that Bruce starts connecting the dots and realizes that the man in front of him may be the son he believed he had lost decades ago.
✍️Yes yes *makes notes*✍️ keep talking. I did know of the 1987 comic, but I would have never gotten that idea. It is so good!
And...you are horrible! (Lovingly)
It's so bad...I have so so many ideas but I'm too slow to write...like...let me tell you some Titel of fic's I have already started/planned.
1. Tether (that's the "protective Batfamily one-shot" that had completely spiraled out of control...it will be a full, multi chapter fic someday and, to the anon...I don't think this will be was you had in mind at all, I'm so sorry 😭😭)
2. Do You Remember Those 72 Hours in December? (Super sons fanfic)
3. I do not have a title for this yet but it will be like...a 20k (?) one shot of nineteen year old Damian Wayne going missing and his family will be searching for him. It's going to be pretty bad and it's a torture fic.
4. With gentle hands I hold you (I will have to change the name because it's kinda cringe. It will be a JonDami one-shot where I will practice writing smut for 'Either way we're not alone'....uh...yeah... because I have never written smut before and I think sex is scary and weird....so I have to practice writing it.)
