Bruce wants a successor not a son. Bruce Wayne isn't going to save Gotham... he just dosn't have enough time... But when he meets Dick, a child prodigy, he realises this kid could be so much grater than he ever was... Bruce just has to do a few things hes not proud of to make it happen. this story is an alt universe that strays from the main canon in several areas including some of the characterizations - basically this is what the bat family/ batman comics would look like if i had written them featuring some familiar story lines and some brand new ones. :) Ik this story sounds like it has a lot of Bruce slander... and it does but he also is gonna get a redemption ark(s). these fics will include plots relating to Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Barbra Gordon the titans, the justice league and several other characters from the bat fam and the dc universe. This is the first story in the series.

Mateo and Rufus are gone but for their friends, the story is just beginning... A new last day begins, one not full of romantic possibilities but friendships old and new.

i loved this story so here's my contribution to the fandom. Suffer with me. Here's my boys in the afterlife
