Summary
Others had spent years deciding who Damian should be– breaking him down and building him back up– rebuilding him into something useful. But this decision was something that belonged to him.
The thought felt insultingly simple. It had always been there, hadn’t it? It was like a whisper that lurked in the darkest corners of his mind– he didn’t have to do this anymore, he didn’t have to pretend, he didn’t have to keep failing others. For once, he could choose.
And the choice would be his.

Summary
Later, in the Batcave, Damian tries to take one of his father's Batarangs to practice with. His father immediately grabs the weapon, and glares at Damian. "You have your own, Damian," father says, eyes flicking over to Damian's locker and draws. "Please don't take anyone else's tools, you could damage them."
His father does not mention the sweatshirt that Timothy is wearing, even when he sees Timothy rolling the sleeves up trying to type on the Batcomputer. Damian does not mention it either.
or
Damian does not understand why the rules of sharing are different when it comes to him. The Batfamily fails to realise that the rules are different.

Summary
Robin has been more than just a title, at least, it was for Damian. So, when Tim decides to leave the mantle behind in pursuit of a future beyond Gotham, Damian couldn't understand how anyone could walk away from a responsibility that was never meant to be temporary.... especially when he had universities waiting for him
Inspired by Noah Kahn's New Album: The Great Divide (Downfall and Doors)

Summary
"You didn’t do anything wrong.” Dick pointed out, confused.
Wally looked away, tapping his foot. He had closed the bathroom door, but Dick wondered how many super-hearing metahumans were eavesdropping on them.
“Neither did you.” Wally pushed the words out, like he was scared to say them.
Like he was scared to push Dick.
He turned to meet Dick’s eyes.
“It was a train for failure exercise. Whatever choice you made as team leader was meant to fail. We were all going to die regardless.” Wally spoke emphatically, speaking faster with each word like he’d been holding them in. “You can’t blame yourself for losing a rigged game!” Wally insisted.
Dick is struggling to process what happened in the simulation. Basically my take on what happened in the aftermath. Lots of angst with a good ending.

“A lot,” he replied vaguely.

“Not English.”
