Results of first research session for Brokey’s physical trauma
ok i gave myself brainworms about mama bruce reading to his sleepy pile of robin pups so here it is
EDIT: i forgot to say that part of what put this in my head was rereading @frownyalfred's a coral room, everyone go check it out
sketches based on @eliemo's multiple fics (but this one in particular) where clark shows a bruce struggling with trauma from past abusive relationships that there's a better way
HELLO I AM HERE WITH FANART OF CONNER CARRYING HIS NEW BABY KITTEN who just wont stop trying to become a ghost :(
110% inspired by this AMAZING fic by @playedcrowd5610 about danny getting stuck in his human form with the team, and since everyone believes he's been miraculously revived they're being uber overprotective trying to prevent danny from dying again lolll
Im NEVER ever painting AGAIN. (He says, like a liar)
OK OK some note to self on my version of Talon!Dick :D This stuff is VERY canon divergent and Im doing my best to make sense of how things should or might work in this au with what little knowledge I have sob sob.
Im sorry if this is super confusing, I don’t even have a proper timeline yet DHHSJD But im working on it beleve it or not-
Brainstorm of this AU below! Canon? Timeline? Who’s that? We’ll work on that LATER. I like throwing ideas around and let it bounce around like a windows screensaver :’]

Some doodle comics based off scenes from The Sun and the Moon by VexInheritance on AO3. I did these while very not lucid so there is a LOT of errors.
I always love the idea of Danny just, sensing death off Jason Todd because it makes some sort of sense. Like Danny going, “You! You’ve got ectoplasm in your eyes!”
And I know it’s because of the popular idea that the Lazarus Pit is just one giant pool of ectoplasm but what if it really is just the stench of death?
Cuz if that’s the care then, oh boy, will he be plugging his nose going into Wayne Manor.
Bruce? Almost always on the brink of death. Reapers even said he kept escaping them. In Batman Endgame (spoilers for those who haven’t read) he dies in the end but due to comic book logic he is completed healed, albeit at the cost of his memories.
Damian died during Batman Incorporated! Luckily revived by a Chaos Shard from Darkseid. (Of course, not without a road trip of his body continuously getting stolen and a small crossover with Frankenstein.)
Dick “died” twice but one just made his heart stop for a minute and the other got his memories taken. (I don’t what tell you but a bullet to the head from KGBeast should’ve done him in.) There is also an Injustice death and some Elseworlds (which are just non canon) but that doesn’t count.
Tim’s hasn’t died per say but he has had two faked deaths and two Elseworld deaths. Said fake deaths were just because he got kidnapped. Man for the third Robin, you’d think he’d be at the lower end of the kidnapped chart.
If anything, (and if my information is correct) Tim’s probably got the least deaths that involve physical injury or repercussions.
So that brings me to the AU where Danny is in Gotham Academy and inexplicably makes friends with Tim!
Danny, of course, senses a stronger scent of death on Tim—most of Gotham has an underlying death smell—and reasons it is because his dead brother/cop other brother/adrenaline junkie father. Nothing can prepare him for the absolute concentration of fresh death when he goes over to Wayne Manor for a project.
The butler who opens the door reeks of death—he remembers Tim mentioning offhand that their butler did Special Forces—and Danny has to stop himself from flinching away. He awkwardly slides in and does his best not to stand too close to the man.
Tim is, fortunately, there but before they can head up to Tim’s room the cop brother, Dick, pops out. Not as strong but damn was Danny beginning get a little nauseous. After idle chitchat, they’re on the second floor and Dick’s off to the gym.
Of course, the little brother that Danny barely hears about shows. Damian. That kid had his ghost sense rising but it stayed at the base of his throat, which was not a good sensation. The kid walks closer to spit some comment at Tim but Danny turns and fakes a cough just so he can hold a hand over his nose. He keeps it over with the excuse of “I needs to wash my hand.” The kid, thankfully antisocial, leaves and they actually spend time on the project.
When they go down to the kitchen for a mid-afternoon coffee break—Danny is reminded why he’s friends with Tim—they bump into the face of the house: Bruce Wayne.
Danny’s ghost sense is pounding at his teeth, begging to get out. He actually starts to feel light-headed. All he can think is how the calm, turtleneck-wearing man in front of him should definitely not be alive in any shape or form.
He wobbles a little and Bruce grabs his arm to stop his descent to the floor. Bad move. Danny flinches out of the grip and takes fearful steps back. It wasn’t only the scent anymore but the callous fingers that imprint pain.
He’s dealt with death before. Ghosts and raw ectoplasm and brimming graveyards. But it was always when he was Phantom. His human side? A little more sensitive when it came to houses that reeked more than the morgue.
Danny tries to leave then and there, wanting to wash off the death house and suggest to Tim they only meet up at his apartment from then on. Tim tries to apologize to Danny for his family and if Bruce offended him anyway by touching him. Bruce is watching without a clue of what is happening. Bruce does the only thing that his mother taught him when it came to helping panicky people: invite them to dinner.
Danny throws up a little in his mouth imagining eating with this family.
Now the crème de la crème is Jason Todd walking in that very second, announcing he’s out of food and he’s spending dinner there. Bruce hisses out that they have a very distressed guest right now to Jason.
The ghost sense (finally) leaves Danny’s mouth like an itch waiting to be scratched. He almost relaxes. Then he makes eye contact with the should-be-dead brother and it starts to make sense. There’s a shining green behind those eyes and the white whiff doesn’t look like a weird fashion choice. He can see the cogs within the other man’s making the same connection he currently had.
“Who sent you?” Jason growls.
Danny ignores the question and turns to Tim. “What the fuck is your family, dude?” And seeing as Jason definitely knows, he spills his real thoughts. “Has everyone here died or something?”
It’s a tense few moments. It’s within that time that he realizes he most definitely won’t be leaving the Manor until much, much later.
Ancients, Clockwork so owes him for whatever bullshit this timeline is on.
