“Please don’t cry.”
Lamb to the Slaughter |Ceremony| Beg for Forgiveness
_____Dick’s gaze flickers down to his hands, splaying his fingers out in front of him, “I thought you were staying away for good this time.”
And.
What?
Jason’s mind makes a horrible grinding noise that sounds like gears packed too closely together. This time? Memory issues or not, Jason is sure that he’s only died once. “The fuck does that mean?”

Whumptober 2025
“You’ve got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.”Prophecy| Sewer | Taking Accountability_______
That is what Tim had been doing tonight.
Protecting Jason Todd. Protecting Robin.
He just. Well, Tim hadn’t realized that in all four thousand one hundred and seventy-seven days of his life, he had never learned how to swim. Why would he need to? Gotham may be surrounded by water, but it’s water that’s more polluted than Los Angeles and the Mississippi River combined.
Still, his lack of competency would’ve been useful to remember before he decided to leap off a boat pier in an attempt to escape a very angry, very trigger-happy Falcone Family enforcer.

“I look in people’s windows, transfixed by rose golden glows.”
Isolation | Candlelight | Found Family_______
“So,” Jason starts with a small laugh, more unsure of himself than he’d like to admit. “Nightmare or insomnia?”
Tim shrugs his good shoulder, “Nightmare.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah. It’s okay."
It’s not. Jason wants to scream.

Summary
Whumptober 2025
“Don’t be scared, I’ve done this before.”
Non-human Whumper | Iron Rod | Loss of Powers
_______The pain is as merciless as Mr. Bloom had been as he shoved a small seed (it had been a seed, hadn’t it?) into the exposed tear of Red Robin’s suit, and it’s as merciless as Mr. Bloom’s simple, warped advice to give up is. “Don’t fight it, Red Robin. Just let go.”
(He almost sounds pitying)
(Almost sounds kind)
Red Robin spits thick, coagulated blood at Mr. Bloom’s feet and laughs wetly. “Yeah, right.”
Faux kindness leaks from Mr. Bloom like poison spilling from an overfilled syringe. “Don’t be like that, Red Robin, it’s not good for you to struggle. You don’t have to be scared, I’ve done this before.” And that. Well, that is precisely what scares Red Robin.
With gritted teeth and steel resolution, “Keep dreaming, beanstalk.”Series

Summary
“My panic’s at the ceiling, but I’m face down on the carpet.”
Quivering | Dream Journal | Phobia
_______Tim hates goodbyes.
He should be used to them, should be old enough to accept that sometimes people are going to leave and that sometimes you can do nothing to stop the hole that burns through your chest when they do. The worst part, he thinks, is that once upon a time, he was used to them. He was used to the hollow feeling, used to the resentment, used to the ache.
Then he met Jason.Series

Summary
“No grave can hold my body down.”
Caught in a Net | Medical Restraints | Pinned to the Wall_______
Lunacy is defined as the act of repeating the same action while expecting different results.
Well, go fish because it is not the worst thing Tim’s been accused of recently.
Besides, maybe it is insanity that drives him, that has him on his hands and knees in front of a grave, dirt caked inside his fingernails, digging and digging and digging. Maybe insanity is what has him clawing for the hinges on a half-submerged wooden casket in the ground.
Maybe insanity is what Tim should have surrendered himself to years ago.

_______“This will hurt less someday,” Janet says with a soft sigh.
“You’re a strong boy,” Jack agrees. “You’ll get over this.”
He says nothing.
He doesn’t know how his parents can be so wrong.

Summary
"Oh horror, oh horror, what did you see?"
Self-Inflicted Injury | Held at Gunpoint | Dissociation______
Twenty-four minutes.
It takes Dick twenty-four minutes to locate Damian after his distress beacon goes off. Twenty-four painful, oxygen-less minutes in which anything could be happening to his little brother.
He lands in the sewers and the smell hits first, acrid and bitter. A puddle of dark, black-blue water splashes underfoot and he glances down the long hallways with a narrowed stare.
