    Summary

    As he watched his father interact with his siblings, watched his father admit how proud he was, and how much he loved them, Damian couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Why couldn’t his father love him like that? Why couldn’t he be as worthy as his siblings?

    It was around the time he started realizing he wasn’t cared for was when the odd feeling in his throat started.

    Summary

    Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.

    It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.

    If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.

    (Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)
