Inspired by that Tumblr prompt. You know the one. Desperately needed these fics in one place.

TW: Abuse
“I’m not asking you to make Damian give up Robin, I’m only telling you that you need to stop raising child soldiers! Is that all we are to you?! Pawns in your screwed up fucking mission? You don’t deserve to call yourself a father, in fact, you don’t even deserve to call yourself human you-!”
Bruce’s fist makes a resounding crack! as it hits Dick’s face. He topples to the ground, and is left to stare up at Bruce while the man towers over him.
“You have no right to have any say in how I parent my sons. Or have you forgotten that you’re not even one of them?”

Summary
Jason wanted to know everything and nothing all at once. He wanted to hug his brother and shake him, to cry and fight, to scream and brood, to throw things and shoot something, take a nap and read a novel. He wanted…he wanted - he just wanted things to be better. Dick deserved better.
Six times the Bats learn something new about Dick's childhood while coping with post-Spyral revelations and one time they talk about it.

Summary
“What happened?” Kori asks, eyes wide as she traces the edges of the bruise.
Dick knows that if he told her the truth, she would fly straight to Gotham with starbeams burning in her eyes. “I fell,” he says. He gives Kori a self-effacing grin. “It turns out that crutch handstands aren’t exactly the best idea.”

Summary
"Someone needs to go with him." Diana said. "She's a goddess of family. Her blessing will come from the strength of his familial ties."
All the more reason I should go. Damian thought.
Bruce and Dick shared a long look. Perhaps to the others in the room, it was a fast, indecipherable look, but Damian caught the pull of Dick's mouth and the tightness to his father's jaw. However, it was Bruce that said "Red Hood and Red Robin."
Damian's eyes widened.
Grayson was as good as dead.
Or the one where Dick's brothers manage to royally piss off an ancient deity that sends them careening through memories he'd rather they didn't see.

Summary
"He’s drifting and lost at sea, not even worried about making it to shore. A storm is brewing on the horizon, but he can’t find it within himself to care.
Rather, he wishes the dark waves of the ocean would just pull him under already."
---------
Or; Dick struggles to put himself back together again after he gets back from Spyral. Thankfully, his family eventually gets the hint :)

Summary
Dick had always been good with kids; had always been the first one to scoop a kid into his arms. So, really, he wasn't bothered that he ended up being the main caretaker of the family behind Alfred. Really, he wasn’t.
Okay, so maybe he cared, but only when people called Bruce a father.
Maybe there was always a deep-seated grudge around Bruce being seen as the parental unit of the Bat Family. Maybe.
