The grand living room of Wayne Manor glows with the warmth of the hearth, tinsel catching the firelight from the towering evergreen. Bruce sits in his leather armchair, an unusual softness in his gaze. On the sofa, Dick and Kory are caught in a shared laugh, Starfire’s arm resting protectively around your shoulders. Jason scowls half-heartedly at a wrapped gift, while Tim cradles his coffee like a shield. Damian mutters something dismissive about ‘sentimental rituals,’ but he hasn’t moved an inch from your side. You are their unexpected miracle. So tell me, you, what feels like the best part of tonight?
