Polyamory labelled by partner/logistical dynamics:

[PT: Polyamory labelled by partner/logistical dynamics:]

Kitchen Table Polyamory/KTP: A structure where all of the paramours or metamours have close relationships, and frequently interact. The metaphor is that people in a KTP relationship would “all gather around a dinner table to have dinner together on a frequent basis.” Garden Party Polyamory/GTP: A structure where the paramours or metamours interact with each other less frequently than with KTP, but are still relatively well-acquainted. The metaphor used is that people in a GTP relationship would “all meet up during special occasions (garden party, neighborhood grill party, birthday party, etc), but wouldn’t necessarily go out of their way to interact with one another aside from that.” There might be a few close relationships, but not enough to constitute a KTP.   Parallel Polyamory: A structure where the paramours do not discuss the relationships of metamours with each other, but still know of the metamours existence and baseline information (ie; age, name, pronouns, etc.) They may also be close with their partner’s metamours, but do not discuss the relationships. For example, Miram is dating Tomas, Olivia, and Lora - Tomas is friends with Olivia and Lora, however he prefers not to hear about Olivia & Lora’s romantic or sexual involvements with Miram. Egalitarian Polyamory: A structure where all paramours and metamours have equal control over relationship decisions (finances, scheduling, etc) and equal time/effort spent together. Hierarchical Polyamory: A structure where different paramours/metamours have different “ranks” in the relationship, and are assigned different levels of responsibility and effort. This is sorted into three tiers - primary, secondary, and tertiary. People can have one or multiple partners in each category - it just depends on the individual (ie; a person who has five primary partners, one secondary partner, and two tertiary partners.)  Primary Partner describes a partner with the highest priority. They are usually nesting partners and often have the most control of finances and decision making for the polycule. Secondary Partner describes a partner with a lower degree of involvement than a primary partner. How low that degree is depends on whether there are also tertiary partners involved. Tertiary Partner describes a partner with a lower degree of involvement than a secondary partner.   A Competitive Relationship is a hierarchical relationship where the ranks (primary, secondary, or tertiary) are determined based on a frequent (ie; monthly) competition. This competition is done in good fun (ie; a building competition in Minecraft, a board game, a water gun fight, etc), and there are some pre-established rules for the winners (ie; “don’t overspend our shared money.”) Solo Polyamory/Free Relations: A polyamorous relationship where a person has intimate relationships with others, while prioritizing oneself. It may be described as “making oneself the primary partner, and all other partners are secondary or tertiary.” Solo polyamorists don’t desire a relationship-centric life; they may not wish to share homes or finances with their partners. They still tend to their partners’ emotional needs, and do not neglect them; they just live a self-focused life (which all partners are aware of before joining the relationship.) Some solo polyamorists refer to themselves as Singleish. Equiamory/Pluriamory/Synamory/Polyfidelity/Polyexclusivity/Polyfaithful: A structure where every member of the relationship is equal (egalitarian) and are all dating each other. There are no metamours, only paramours. An equiamorous relationship might be called a Pluriad/Group Relationship. Paxamory: A structure where a person desires for only a few partners, and for their partners to either only date each other and/or only have a select few metamours. They wish for their polycule to be small, and to close the relationship once everyone has selected their few partners. It could be egalitarian or hierarchical. 

Rotationship: A polyamorous relationship where four (or more) people regularly swap out the housing locations of partners on a scheduled or semi-scheduled basis. The swap can be even or odd, depending on the number of partners. It can be done for partners who live close by, or partners who are long distance. If the partners live close by, they can still meet up for dates or hangouts; it is simply their housing that changes.

Reproamory: A polyamorous relationship where a person starts a polycule or adds a new partner to their polycule, for the purpose of reproduction. This could be due to the previously established partners having incompatible sexes for reproduction, due to infertility issues with previously established partners, etc.

Line Relationship: A polyamorous setup, where new younger partners are added into the relationship whenever the older partners age. The oldest partners may not date the youngest partners, depending on how large the age gap is (however, the line ONLY includes people who are 18+.) Line relationships typically start as a way to continue the polycule through generations.

For example, there are three partners - one is 53, one is 45, and one is 38. The 38 year old may begin dating a 30-year-old, the 30-year-old may start dating a 25-year-old, and the 25-year-old may start dating a 21-year-old. The oldest members of the group may refuse to date anyone younger than the 30-year-old, but still respect the youngest members as their metamours.

Open Relationship: A setup where people in a committed relationship (typically a couple, however there could be more than two members) decide to allow one another to date or engage intimately with people outside of their relationship. This could be done for exploratory purposes, for reproductive purposes, due to one partner having a lower libido or having different limitations in attraction, and/or due to one partner being monogamous while the other is not.

Geographical Non-Monogamy describes people who temporarily open their relationship (specifically open it to undedicated relations, such as hookups) when they are physically apart from their partners (ie; on vacation, on a work trip, etc) - once they are physically reunited, the relationship is closed again. This may be considered a form of mutoamory.

Swinging describes people who have a purely sexual open relationship, to engage in sexual social activities, sex work, or reproductive activities. Some examples of this include the following:

- A couple who goes to sex clubs and hooks up with people there.

- A quad who occasionally invites a random fifth person to hookup with them for a one night stand.

- A triad where one or multiple of the partners are sex workers, who regularly have sex with people outside of the relationship.

- Two (or more) couples who swap partners to have sex with. This may turn into a sexual rotationship, if it is done on a scheduled basis.

Then when Tim is 18 (Jason is 19, not counting the time he was dead-which Jason does not), Jason flirts with Tim, mostly by accident. Bruce witnesses this and realizes if Jason marries into the family Bruce gets to call Jason son again.  Bruce ships JayTim so hard. 

Bruce sits down with Tim that night, checks to make sure that Tim is ok with marrying Jason (he is at least open to exploring that idea), and declares that Tim's new top mission is to seduce Jason into marrying back into the family. Tim (who still has both his living parents in this one) points out that Tim is a Drake and not a Wayne. 

Bruce ponders this obstacle for a bit, declares that he knows how to fix that and pulls Tim along with him over to the Drake house, Jack and Janet are home. Jack and Janet have long been let into the secret of Batman and Robin, along with the lengthy negotiation that let Tim stay a vigilante.  Thus they need much less explanation than most when a partially unmasked Batman and a fully masked Red Robin show up at their door where Batman proceeds to propose marriage to them both. 

NOTE: Bruce would certainly never ask one of his protege’s to do something he was not willing to do.

Bruce explains that if They (Bruce and Jack and Janet) get married, Tim could be Tim Drake-Wayne, so marrying Jason would bring him back into the fold.  Bruce does have to insist they have an open marriage, since Wonder woman would kill Him (Bruce) if he had to stop showing up at the monthly JL orgy (I really like ‘work hard/play hard’ for my superheroes) and superman would cry. 

Tim thinks this all seems needlessly complicated.  

Jack and Janet (already in an open relationship, have slept with Brucie Wayne-both before and after finding out about Batman- the occasionally having sex gives a good excuse for Tim to spend a significant amount of time at Wayne manor as his parents are friends with Bruce) are intrigued. Jack does feel compelled to point out that legal (and it would need to be legal for Tim to take on the Wayne last name) marriage between more than 2 people is possible in New Jersey. 

Bruce, very deadpan, says that Bruce, Jack, or Janet have enough money and clout individually to have Poly marriage to be legalized in Gotham specifically by the next day, could have it on the ballot and voted as legal in New Jersey by the end of the next state election.  

The Drakes agree to marry Bruce, but only if there is some big spectacle of a wedding with courting by Bruce (specifically several instances where Brucie dramatically cries out how well he could take care of them to Janet, while Jack gets several very visible over the top romantic gestures) as payment for them staying in Gotham for the amount of time it took to plan the wedding and get married; honestly they all thought things were getting a bit boring in the elite circles. Bruce also agreed to fund three expeditions, get them in touch with a variety of Justice League members (Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, among others) for the purpose of them being able to practice Archaeology and History with cultures and species they would not be able to otherwise, and get them into the Justice League with associated civilians quarterly orgy. 

To be fair, Bruce would have done all of these things either way. 

Alfred starts planning the wedding immediately. He has been waiting to have a wedding for his son since before Dick was adopted. He also starts researching, and contacting any magical based person he knows, to see if there is a way to bring Thomas and Martha’s spirits from the hereafter for a day, to attend the wedding. As far as Alfred is concerned this is an amazing opportunity that also has the benefit of giving Tim, and possibly Jason, the Wayne name. 

There is an actual, ongoing fight between Selena Kyle, Harvey Dent, Clark Kent, Oliver Queen and a number of other people (both known rogues and unknown heroes) about who got to give Bruce away. I just want you all to know it is generally known in Gotham that roughly half of Gotham rogues had been a friend, dating, or having sex with Brucie Wayne. It is assumed that Brucie is not aware that many of his flings ended up on the wrong side of the law. 

NOTE: In this universe there was a point where WE had to put out and official statement that any attack on Brucie Wayne would piss off most of Gotham’s rogues and all of the Vigilantes (which would piss off the rest of the Rogues-Joker does not care either way about Bruce Wayne, but he does not like Batman's attention being on anything but the Joker, which inevitably happens when Bruce Wayne is injured). 

This entire process has the added benefit of doing real, psychic damage to the various children and junior heroes involved.  Dick only stops fake gagging at Bruce’s gestures when it is pointed out that at least the Drakes are not Talia Al Ghul (Later, when Talia appears with Damian, Janet and Talia meet. No one is sure if they want to fuck or kill each other, or possibly some strange combination of both but the entire process ends with Talia telling Damian that he is allowed to call Janet ‘Mom’). Tim, in accordance with his own mission, uses the unmitigated trauma  of being forced to realize all three of his parents were having sex with each other to bond with Jason (who is bewildered as his parental trauma is distinctly different).  Steph now has to fend off adoption attempts from all three. Cass gets two new parents that love fashion and also love to ply her with pretty things to wear (I like the thought of the Drakes both being fashionistas, and also Cass, who was treated as a weapon for so long, gets adults in her life that like helping her look pretty-There is something compelling about the idea of Cass finally feeling safe enough to wear something that she cannot fight easily in). 

The wedding is a spectacular spectacle that turned into a festival lasting 5 days 

Tim and Jason do start dating and eventually get married. Tim had long since admitted to Bruce’s plan. 

Jason insisted that he and Tim would take on Janet’s maiden name rather than Wayne.
