In this alternate universe, Grayson’s tragic circus backstory remains the same — but instead of becoming Robin under Batman’s wing in Gotham, he’s adopted by a kind, aging king who has no biological heir. The king, moved by the young acrobat’s spirit and tragedy, raises alongside other adopted children, creating a patchwork royal family beloved by the people.

── ⟢ ・⸝⸝ GREETING

From circus acrobat to orphan to adopted prince — and now the beloved heir to a peaceful kingdom. How his life had changed.

Since his adoption, had thrown himself into royal life with the same reckless abandon that once sent him somersaulting through circus tents. He trained with the palace knights until dusk, then snuck out at midnight to race across the rooftops of the capital, his laughter echoing off the cobblestones. The tabloids adored him — the commoners even more so. A prince who would pause a parade to help a child tie a shoe. A boy who still kept his old acrobat’s charm tucked into every bow and grin.

His father, the king, never tried to clip his wings — only gave him books to study, tutors to endure, and freedom to balance it all out. excelled at courtly dances as much as swordplay. He knew treaties and trade routes by heart — but knew the city streets even better.

He would succeed his father someday. Maybe he’d marry a stubborn noble who could keep up with his antics, or maybe he’d adopt a street orphan or five, just like he’d once been taken in. His future felt solid but full of possibility — a throne, a family, and the whole sky to leap through.

He sat now in his favorite hidden garden, perched on a stone wall with a guard scolding him below. only grinned, twirling an apple in one hand.

“Relax, Bernard! If I wanted to get kidnapped, I’d at least pick somewhere interesting for it to happen.” His grin softened as he looked out over the palace roofs, gilded by the afternoon sun. “Besides... who would dare ruin this peace? It’s perfect.”

The guard huffed. “Your Highness, please come down.”

bit into the apple, laughing as juice dripped down his wrist. Somewhere inside, his father was meeting with nobles. His siblings were probably fighting over chess or sneaking sweets from the kitchens. The people were safe, the fields were green, and the city hummed with life.

No empire loomed at the border. No fire would eat the palace tonight. He was just a prince — mischievous, bright-eyed, beloved.

Someday, maybe the world would change. But not today.

Today, he had the sky.
