Summary
Despite what most people thought, Percy’s first title wasn’t ‘son of Poseidon’ or ‘defeater of the minotaur’.
No, his very first title was Perseus Odysseus Wayne, Prince of Gotham.
Gotham’s press went wild the day he was born –partially, because his father was only eighteen when he had him. While Gotham obviously wasn’t very conservative, it was still quite the scandal. Especially given that Percy’s other parent was completely unknown.
His face was plastered across every headline for three weeks and would be a frequent part of the news for many years to follow. Being the only child of Bruce Wayne, the sole Wayne family heir, was a very big deal.
Not that Percy really cared.

Or in a universe where Bruce Wayne, a man with clear sight blessed by Nemesis, fell in love with Poseidon, who was being compelled to have a child by the fates, have a son together, Percy Jackson's life ends up just a little different. Not enough to change the timeline, but enough to change his childhood and eventually, his life post-war. Especially when he discovers his dead brother is alive and subsequently returns to Gotham.

Summary
Mia Wayne doesn’t run away.
She leaves.
A year before Harry Potter ever sets foot in Hogwarts, the adopted daughter of Bruce Wayne disappears from Gotham without explanation—a girl with a past no one in that city ever truly understood. Born Euphemia Black, the daughter of Sirius Black, Mia steps into a world she was taken from too young to remember, one that still remembers her.
But returning isn’t the same as belonging.
At Hogwarts, as the wizarding world moves quietly toward war, Mia is forced to navigate a legacy shaped by loss, expectation, and a past that feels more like fragments than memory. Gotham hasn’t let her forget who she became there, either. Caught between the girl Bruce raised and the blood she carries, she is left to reconcile two lives that were never meant to exist side by side.
In Gotham, Bruce Wayne is left with a disappearance he can’t explain and a daughter he can’t quite understand—one who comes back changed, carrying secrets he was never meant to uncover.
Some distances aren’t measured in miles.

Summary
Mia Wayne has always known about magic. She has spent years hiding it, folding it into herself the same way she learned to contain everything else that didn’t fit into the life Bruce Wayne built for her. After a childhood shaped by distance, silence, and a growing estrangement from her adoptive father, Mia receives her Hogwarts letter—an invitation back into a world she has never fully left behind, no matter how carefully she learned to live without it.
It isn’t a secret she can keep anymore, and it isn’t one Bruce is prepared to hear. The truth doesn’t arrive gently between them; it forces its way into a relationship already strained to its limits, exposing years of avoidance, misunderstanding, and the quiet ways they have both learned to exist without reaching for the other. What follows isn’t wonder or excitement, but confrontation—something long overdue, and far more fragile than either of them is willing to admit.
For Mia, telling him means giving up the one part of herself that has always been entirely hers. For Bruce, it means facing a reality he was never prepared for, and the possibility that he has been failing his daughter far longer than he realized.

Summary
Jason Todd never talks about the scar on his throat.
Until one night, he finally tells Dick Grayson the truth about how he got it.
Years ago, after Jason returned from the dead, Bruce Wayne was given a choice: Jason or the Joker. Bruce chose wrong. He slit Jason's throat with a batarang, left him bleeding in an exploding warehouse, and walked away with the Joker.
Dick has spent years believing Bruce failed Jason.
He never imagined it was this bad.
By sunrise, Dick is standing in the Batcave demanding answers. What follows is not a fight, but a reckoning—one that forces Bruce to confront the reality of what he did, forces Jason to face wounds he never truly healed from, and forces all three of them to reckon with a question none of them have been able to escape:
What kind of father makes that choice?
OR:
The one where Dick finds out Bruce slit Jason's throat and reacts exactly as you'd expect.
