My first official entry for @fanartfrenzy for the "Create art for a fic you've reread more than once" bingo square! This fic has been lurking in my brain and I just knew I had to draw for it when I saw this prompt ✨
There were two or three other moments that made me really Feel™, but this one felt the comfiest and oomfiest to draw for! I hope the author really likes it 🥺I plan on reading this fic probably a few more times (even though I did already just to scan out which scenes I wanted to draw for)
Fic's tags and summary:
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death
Relationships: Dick Grayson & Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne & Damian Wayne, Jason Todd & Damian Wayne
Additional tags: Hurt/Comfort, Blood and Injury, Damian Wayne-centric, Damian Wayne is Robin, Damian Wayne Needs a Hug, Damian Wayne Feels, Damian Wayne is Not Okay, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Not Really Character Death, Damian dies but comes back to life, Bruce Wayne Tries to Be a Good Parent, Good Parent Bruce Wayne, Good Sibling Dick Grayson, Damian Wayne is traumatized, Resurrection, Damian Wayne Has a Bad Time, Angst, Talia al Ghul Tries, Good Sibling Jason Todd, Jason Todd is Red Hood, Dissociation, Suicidal Thoughts, Hurt Damian Wayne, Damian Wayne Gets a Hug
Summary:
The first time Damian died, he was four years old and scaling up the side of a mountain.
Grandfather would have said that Damian’s ability was a blessing. Perhaps while Damian was still young and naive, he would have blindly agreed.
Now, Damian was eleven and convinced in every way that he was cursed.
or,
Damian has the ability to die and come back to life. You'd think it would be much easier keeping it a secret from Batman than it turned out to be.

Summary: Tim and Damian get kidnapped during a gala and the brothers find themselves having to survive in a forest despite hating each other.
Comments: Mmm, being kidnapped and then having to survive in the forest with your brother that you hate? like? support? are jealous of? Lots to figure out here for these two, from feelings to what to eat. Touch of angst, a decent amount of whump, lots of family feels at the end.

SUMMARY: “You kill a lot of people, right?” Tim asked, picking at his blood-rimmed nails.
“What do you want?” Jason sighed, obviously expecting something similar to a lecture.
“Do you know how to get a bloodstain out?” Tim continued.
Jason was silent on the other end for a moment. “Who the fuck did you kill…?”
COMMENTS: This is delightful. While it centers on Tim’s low self esteem, uncertain in his relationship with Bruce to call for civilian help, Jason's exasperation with Tim and Bruce is just so amusing. Third time is not the charm for Bruce’s parenting skills. That's not a stain that's a puddle. Don't make me stop taking down this trafficking ring to make you two talk. You can feel the sighs.
