Summary
Week One.
It’s freezing.
Cold presses up against his cheek and shoulder. The cotton tee, sweatpants and polyester socks aren’t nearly enough to keep out the chill. He doesn’t want to be dramatic, but if his bones turned to ice, he wouldn’t be surprised. His shoulder aches, bruised and stiff. He’d roll over to the other one if it didn’t feel the exact same. He’s choosing the lesser evil, it would seem. There’s been a lot of that this week.
The shackle around his ankle is tight and uncomfortable, the chain attached to it even more so. Every time he so much as twitches, it clinks against itself. Dick’s backed himself into quite the corner. Pinned by his own stupidity and ego. It’s clear the Titans aren’t on par. They were never on par. Slade had been six steps ahead the whole time, and now— well. Now he has what he wants.
Dick shudders.
An apprentice. How had he missed that?
An obligatory apprentice spin

Summary
As its head twists, white lines blinking out of it, Dick knows what type of dream it’s going to be. The shadow-clad man, still wrapped in darkness, speaks. “Robin,” he murmurs. Dick flinches, his brain shredding itself into powder. Dick curls up tighter against the wall, shoulder digging into the concrete. He knows that voice. Sometimes he thinks he knows it better than his own. But the body doesn’t match the tone. Nothing about this feels like it should. If only Dick could pinpoint how.
Batman leans forward, white lenses glowing. His silhouette devours the room behind. His ears stretch unnaturally long. His cape engulfs the room. He doesn’t look human and certainly not safe.
The good ending for Growing Pains

Summary
All Dick wants is to run away. All Jason wants is to keep his big brother alive. What follows is a tale of bribery, popcorn, broken clocks, espionage, betrayal, and a midnight swim.
(In which life isn’t fair, the past isn’t what it seems, and nothing - least of all the future - is set in stone.)

Summary
Dick clutched the lantern, which was over half the size of his torso, to his chest. Every flicker of the tiny flame inside painted the walls with warm, beckoning light, and Dick's feet followed the shadows down the hallway. The ceiling, when he dared to glance up, loomed above him. There weren't gargoyles in the building itself, except in a few halls and ballrooms—ballrooms, for crying out loud!—but there were paintings. Large, regal paintings, made with oil and painted with such intricacy that their eyes followed his every step. All of the faces were ghostly, their clothes pristine, their lips curled in smiles that twisted into sneers in the lamplight. One pair of pale blue eyes were wide, as if afraid. Intruder, they seemed to say without words. Imposter.
Something isn't right with Gotham, with Wayne Manor, and with one Bruce Wayne. Dick Grayson, two months fresh from the loss of his parents and in desperate need of a home he can trust, is determined to find out what.
