I like the idea of Nightwing being a well-known figure among the hero community, but relatively unknown to the public outside of Gotham and Blüdhaven. Like, he was the first ever sidekick and a kid of one of the Justice League's founding members. Most older heroes are his aunts and uncles, the first generation of sidekicks are his friends, and to the younger ones, he is a mentor and older brother figure. The hero community loves him. But outside of that, he is just a local hero. He sticks to the shadows, and while the people of blüdhaven love him, and the people of Gotham have at least heard of him, he is not very well known.
That is until the Justice League hosts some sort of public event with a lot of younger heroes attending, and one journalist gets an idea for a fun, lighthearted story. They go around asking different heroes and sidekicks who their favorite hero is, and 80% have the same answer: Nightwing

do you ever watch something and think “this was written by a man”
new scars, new facepaint
au where dean winchester and jason todd met in purgatory-
dean, a full-grown man in like his 30s: uh-
smol 15 y/o jason todd in full robin gear who took down two creatures with ease: hi!
-and dean takes it upon himself to help this kid out in there even tho the kid seems to be doing p well by himself
stuff happens (like idk, remember how dean was besties with a vampire there and they got out together or something? yeah, that, but either switch or with jason yk). dean gets out of purgatory but believes jason got stuck there. jason did get out eventually, but yk pits and stuff.
fast forward to maybe like a year later when dean has a case in gotham, and would you believe who he stumbles upon? the red fucking hood, who stops dead in his tracks and just stares at dean. dean stares back. red hood takes off his helmet and dean could recognize the familiar domino clad face, albeit now a bit more older and rough looking from the young brat that fought with him in purgatory.
i might be crazy but listen, what if venti is at least slightly aware of rukkhadevatas existence? like yea she was erased but venti, a wind sprite who had taken human form, literal embodiment of anemo (this connection has seemingly given him some sort of close relationships with that of time (from the bunch of lore surrounding him and a forgotten god of time), memories (his character quest), and music (not to mention his music as a bard is to detail epics and stories of adventurers and their accomplishments)) could v likely at least acknowledge that something is missing.
in conclusion, im sure venti is aware that smth happened because of his affinity to anemo/wind. he prob doesnt know her exact name but can tell that there has been some kind of altercation.
or hey au where venti ACTUALLY remembers and gets sad because once he sees no one remembers her, he is now forced to remember another lost forgotten friend.
Ya know I've been wondering why there been such a wave of tired but good dad Bruce fics on ao3, specially with a focus on Dicks time or Jason's. Specially since current ao3 authors seem to focus more on taking his more awful moments upto task n either fleshing out his character or point out his abuse (depending on what fanon version the author wants to protray) set more in Dami's time.
Then i realized that Robert Pattinson is at fault. His portrayal of Batman sent the characterization back into what the Dark Night first was to fanon, a deeply depressed man trying to find and give justice in a very dark world. And that kind of person works well with traumatized kids like Dick n Jay.
