What if Tim's shenanigans with Ra's happened earlier? Like when Jason and Damian are still with the league.
Dick's worried because one brother is dead and the other is missing after a fight they had. Then Tim comes back home with:
The previously assumed dead brother
A new, secret brother
A convoluted plan to get their dad back
His whole ass self
Correction ALMOST his whole ass self
A smoothie probably

Imagine if they went to an alt universe and their universal counterparts main personalities are all things that the fam considered blasphemous like Jason’s hates reading, steph’s thinks pancakes are better, Tim’s hates to drink coffee, damian’s doesn’t care for animals and hates dogs, etc,...
Amazing, perfection, genius. I feel like their alternates would vary as would their reactions to said alternates. So let’s list them (and I'm adding a read more and a pt. 2 bc this is really long):
His alternate is super touchy feely and always wants to have heart to hearts.
He’s still Batman but he doesn’t rlly care about Gotham. Like he’s a hero who happens to be based in Gotham, not a hero for Gotham. If Gotham were to fail he wouldn’t really care.
He even thinks Metropolis is better.
Reaction:
Bruce begrudgingly admits that his alternates emotional availability might not be a bad thing.
They get in a heated debate about the significance of Gotham.
Regular Bruce punches alt Bruce after alt says that metropolis is better than Gotham.
Is terrified of heights (so he runs around in the sewers like the hygienic man he is)
Does not think of himself as part of the family and does not care for the family
Hates cereal
Reaction:
This conversation–
Jason: Hey Dickiebird? Why does your alternate smell like shit?
Alt!Dick: I am the phantom of the Gotham underground. I have no perceptible scent.
Tim, trying not to gag: I beg to differ.
Dick, looking horrified: WHY THE SEWERS?! WHY NOT THE ALLEYS OR THE ROADS?!?!
Alt!Dick: Phantom of the Gotham streets doesn’t sound as cool.
Duke: But it smells better.
Dick calls his alternate a “sad smelly hermit” after the alternate says that Family is pointless.
After hearing that his alter doesn’t like cereal Dick starts listing every type and this happens–
Dick: Fruit loops?
Alt!Dick: No.
Dick: Honey smacks?
Alt!Dick: No.
Dick: Cheerios?
Alt!Dick: No.
Dick: IS THERE ANYTHING YOU LIKE?!
Alt!Dick: Grape-nuts.
Dick: You monster…
Hates technology (so she keeps paper records for the fam and does research).
Thinks Alt!Dick hung the moon and can do no wrong.
She doesn’t understand any nerd culture and hates video games.
Reaction:
She can not comprehend her alternate’s dislike of technology. Like, no. It just, such confusion?? And she refuses to believe that Alt!Babs is actually a version of herself.
Hearing Alt!Babs talk about Dick in such a ‘dreamy’ voice leads to this convo:
Alt!Babs: Oh Richard, you’re right! What would we do without you!
Babs makes a gagging noise and glares at Dick.
Dick: Don’t look at me! Honestly it sorta freaks me out too.
When Babs realizes that Alt!Babs thinks Star Trek is a sequel to Star Wars she grumpily leaves.
Despises reading.
Thinks normal Jason is stupid for going to Ethiopia.
Goes to Bruce for advice.
Reactions:
Well, this happens–
Dick: JASON STOP TRYING TO SHOOT YOURSELF!
Jason: THATS NOT ME AND HE INSULTED JANE AUSTEN!
Alt!Jason: Her books are stupid! She’s overrated!
Jason: I WILL KILL YOU!
This is based off of Alt!Jason's idolization of Bruce, but he didn't go to Ethiopia and is very critical of normal Jason for going to Ethiopia. Jason doesn't outwardly react to this much, but it does hurt and brings up painful memories.
Alternate Jason goes to Bruce constantly for advise and trusts his every word. Whenever normal Jason sees this he gets a disgusted/horrified look and glares at his Bruce.
Can I just take a moment of silence and marvel the work of this marvelous artist/poet? She is an amazing girl of multipe talents.

Conspiracy theory time
What if Alfred was the head of Court of Owls all this time and that's how he knew everything and he kept batman under his radar as he was a vigilante to make sure court of owls could be kept a secret. And when Bruce found out the truth he knew that the court of owls functioned from the very ancient arkham asylum and Wayne mansion because he sheltered the leader all this time, he blows everything up and erases everything, killing himself in the process.
But he doesn't say anything to any of his children in his last message in fear that Alfred will kill his children too.
Nobody doubted Alfred because he raised Batman and since Alfred basically had access to anything and everything thanks to Bruce Wayne's and Batmans reach and talented hacker "grandchildren", he could make sure nobody actually realized that "Court of Owls" wasn't just an urban legend but an actual organization with Alfred as head. Alfred later turns Batman and Little Damien Robin into Talons after their death. He wanted to turn Jason too but he was taken from grave before that.
Since Alfred was supposedly dead and wasn't supposed to survive the explosion of Bat cave he was in a dilemma since he couldn't have access to any of batmans kids and all the kids had their own head quarters.
I think the read plot twist will be if in the Game Gotham Knights, Alfred is revealed to be the head of "court of owls" all this time.

[ ❤ Works posted so far! ❤ ]
Here are today’s fanworks! Please leave a comment or kudos for the author if you enjoy their work. Authors/artists will be revealed August 31st!
Additional Tags: Fanart, Rockstar AU, Alternate Universe - Celebrity, Meet-Cute, Drunken Shenanigans, Illustrations
Summary: Due to a thoughtless drunken tweet world-renowned Rockstar Jason Todd somehow ends up in a relationship with world-renowned Popstar Dick Grayson. Some good old-fashioned business of the Love, Pop, and Rock n’ Roll variety ensues.
Additional Tags: Batfamily Shenanigans, Dungeons & Dragons References
Summary: The Robins are playing D&D and the usual grind is interrupted by the rolls of one Dick Grayson. Jason is more than happy to poke a little a fun at his expense.
Additional Tags: 5+1 Things, Bruce Wayne Needs a Hug, Big Brother Jason Todd, Reconciliation, Family Feels, POV Multiple
Summary: “I think it’s about—you know. The other thing.”
“It’s okay, you can say it,” Jason rolls his eyes—then freezes. “Wait. Are you saying that Alfred is asking you to convince Bruce to quit?”
Jesus, that’s a tall order even for their resident Bruce-whisperer.
(Five subtle interventions and one that really isn’t.)
Additional Tags: Fluff, Prom, Slow Dancing, Minor Accidental Violence, Kissing
Summary: When Jason gets roped into chaperoning prom with Dick, things go better than he ever could have expected.
Additional Tags: Belly Dancing, Oral Sex
Summary: Jason loses a bet to Roy, and ends up with a personal belly dancing lesson.
Additional Tags: Fanart
Summary: "So, how’s it going?”
“Well.” Roy knows he’s failing hard at keeping a straight face. It’s a good thing Dick and Jason are too focused on each other to look over at him. “It’s going. Can’t tell you if it’s going well or what, but it’s definitely going.”
Additional Tags: Established Relationship, Costume Kink, Identity Porn, Oral Sex, Anal Sex, Anal Plug, Cock Warming, Face-Fucking, Bottom Jason Todd, Top Dick Grayson
Summary: When the Bat is away, the birds will play. .
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe – Space, Hurt/Comfort, Minor appearance from the Bat family, Angst, Piningcyborg!Jason, Falling In Love, Feelings, Alternate Universe, Peril, Alternate Universe - Science Fiction, space, Science Fiction, Protective!Jason
Summary: When Operative Dick Grayson goes missing during a mission into the Darkspace, Bruce has little choice but to enlist the notorious outlaw, smuggler, and mercenary known as the Red Hood to find his missing son and bring him home. Unbeknownst to Bruce, the Red Hood is none other than his cybernetically resurrected second son, Jason, and he has sent one lost son to find the other.
For the Jason, the mission is bringing up all sorts of uncomfortable feelings that he’d thought died long ago. And as Dick begins to see past his cyborg rescuer’s gruff exterior, he begins to think there’s something about him that’s awfully familiar. Will the mission bring them both home, or will both of them be lost forever?
do not let go the kdj
i really like looking at google image searches for “firemen rescuing cats” or something because you get super cute pictures like
AND THEN THERE’S THIS ONE
