    Summary

    Danny didn’t want to be here, didn’t want to be smiling at people who thought he was worth nothing more than the dirt on their shoes, didn’t want to be dressed up like a doll. But Vlad told him to behave, so he did. Vlad needs these people’s money and influence to expand his business, so Danny’s job is to smile and nod and charm his way into hearts and wallets. The Waynes, though, seem to be able see right through Danny’s mask. Even stranger, they seem to want to help him.

     

    OR

     

    Danny is outed as Phantom to his parents who then hand him over to Vlad Masters with the promise that Masters will “bring their Danny back” and punish the ghost who is “wearing their son’s skin”. Masters jumps at the opportunity to use Danny as a substitute for his Obsession, training Danny to be his heir and experimenting on him in turn. It all changes when Masters blusters his way into various parties to gain influence, wielding Danny as a pity-card, and they gain the notice of Bruce Wayne (abused-and-orphaned-children Foster Dad Extraordinaire).

    Summary

    Tim Drake has secured peace for Gotham and all of the Juistria League - by marrying the High Chief of what has been their enemy nation for generations. Now, having left behind everything and everyone he has ever known, his new life in these strange, magical lands begins.

    Whatever happens next is uncertain. There are only two things he knows to be true: Having Jason at his side will be a comfort - and he can rely on his husband's kindness when everything else fails him.

    But will he be able to navigate these Lands, where common sense just doesn't seem to apply? And will he be able to gain the heart of his husband, or be stuck in a one-sided love for the rest of his life? Can he prove his worth as more than a trophy by Danny's side, not only to Danny but to his council as well? And what are these whispers about civil unrest about?

    As Tim is plagued by these questions, his husband Danny also has a few pressing questions he would like the answer to: How did he manage to marry someone as perfect as Tim? Also, does slaying a monster for your pretty husband count as a love declaration? The scales would make a pretty gift fit for the prince. Right?

    Summary

    The Juistria League - the alliance of the major countries of the continent Juisitria - has long since stood for peace.

    Unfortunately there is one country that is a thorn in their side whenever they try to solidify that peace: The Infinite Lands, a country of barbarians to the north where the only reason they survive is the magic in the air. Where the magic is so strong that even children develop a talent, which they themselves call "the blessings of the dragons".

    The country that, last time the Juistria League had tried to negotiate, had waged a war more brutal then anything seen before on them, for over a decade - right until the moment a rebellion caged him. Not long ago, his murderer took the title.

    And now, that very same newly crowned High Chief demands negotiations of them.

    Bruce would rather die, would rather see Gotham and all of Juistria in flames than to allow that man to take one of his children. Tim, however, makes another decision before he could say that. Now, everyone has to hope Phantom will be happy with the boy…

    Meanwhile Danny is just too stunned that they actually agreed to that to do anything about the sudden engagement.

    Summary

    "If Todd skipped out on too many family meals, Grayson would be marching over to one of his safe houses and dragging him to the manor. If Brown or Cain was gone on a mission for too long, the family would make time for them to relax and Pennyworth would make their favorite meals to entice them to dinner. If Damian was too far into his head and feeling frustrated they would give him enough space that he didn't feel coddled but also open that door for him and eventually force him out of his own head.
    But Drake... He hadn't come to family dinner for three months now, Todd never made it to the two month mark. Drake hasn't come back to the manor after a mission for anything longer than a sitrep and debrief. (Of which Drake consistently lied about and avoided medical attention every night and not once did anyone call him on it). And Drake was always in his own head and no one seemed to bother to pull him out. No one coddled, no open doors, no forcing him to float, just... letting him drown."
    ---
    Or Damian notices Tim is treated differently than the rest of the family and wants to know why and he's determined to bring him back through bonding.
