    Summary

    "What do you want, Nightwing?"

    Dick stood in the middle of the room. He took a step back at Duke's words and held his hands up, showing them. "I thought... I thought maybe you'd explain."

    That was the point. Duke had never been a quiet guy. People thought so because his anger never showed. Duke, however, always felt angry. Because life was so fucking unfair.

    "What if I didn't?"

    ***

    Also, Duke does something stupid. His siblings do something even stupider. Someone holds a sword to someone's throat (that's a metaphor but, also, not a metaphor). In the end, everyone cries.

    Or: the fall of Duke Thomas, the rise of Signal, and, finally, the rise of Duke Wayne.

    Summary

    Jason wakes up in Damian's arms after a night of intense passion, finding himself bruised and utterly spent, as Damian possessively holds him close.

    *Sneak Peek*

    “Told you it was going to be a rough night.”
    Jason's cheeks burned, his legs trembling under the relentless, unforgiving pace Damian was setting now.
    “Shit,” Jason hissed, his fingers gripping Damian’s wrist as his other hand braced against the wall. “This is—fuck—this is payback, isn’t it?”
    Damian let out a low chuckle, biting lightly at Jason’s shoulder before whispering, “Call it… a lesson.”
    Jason gasped, his head dropping back against Damian’s shoulder. “Fucking sadist.”
    Damian smirked, his hand sliding lower, gripping Jason tighter.
    "And yet, you're still begging for more."
    The sharp slap of skin on skin echoed through the steam-filled bathroom, the rhythm only broken by the occasional splash of water as their bodies moved in perfect, reckless sync.
    Damian’s grip was unyielding, fingers digging into Jason’s waist as he drove into him, forceful, relentless.
    Jason gasped, his nails scraping against the tiled wall for purchase, his entire body vibrating with pleasure.
    “Fuck—Damian… ahhhh—fuck!”

    Summary

    Two weeks ago, Duke was a Robin, leading a gang of others like him against the rising tide of petty criminals looking to exploit Batman’s absence. That’s recently changed, when the Robins trained by Batman came back to Gotham to get a handle on the situation, with mixed results. The Robins as a gang were scattered, most of them dropping back into civilian life. Duke Thomas isn’t among them.

    Nightwing tricked him during their last meeting, using his nervousness around heights against him. He takes to the rooftops to rectify that and, during one of his rooftop runs, comes across a strange girl surrounded in the street.

    Summary

    Duke flails wildly to try to keep from falling, but he’s a lost cause, and his phone goes flying out of his hand as the stall fades from view, replaced by the blue of the sky.

    So. This is how he dies. Ignobly and at the goddamn farmer’s market.

    He always knew it would end this way.

    Thankfully, he doesn't die. Someone catches him.

    Summary

    "...Whelp, we're fucked," Inner declared.
    If Outer could have elbowed the manifestation of suppressed emotions and thoughts, she would have. Instead, the pinkette let out a long sigh before she gave a wobbly grin. Hey, at least we found a new place to explore. Imagine how much we can learn here.
    Haruno Sakura started walking down the unfamiliar street, fingers twitching near her weapons pouch.

    Duke Thomas liked to think nothing could surprise them anymore, not after having grown up in the nonsensical hellhole that was Gotham City. Yet a weird girl they meets manages to baffle them any way.

    Summary

    “How did you do it, if you don’t mind me asking? How’d you…juggle all of it? This and them.” How could Tim compartmentalize all of it? When Duke is out there fighting criminals, all he can think about is his parents and how worried they would be if they knew what their son's life had become. And when he’s with them, all he can think about is what good he could be doing if he weren’t visiting Arkham every week. There's no winning.

    Итак, когда однажды, посмотрев вниз, он понял, что у него пропала тень, первое, что он проверил, было то, не светится ли он. В конце концов, у тебя не может быть тени, если ты являешься источником света.

    Неа, не светится.

    Странно.

    It begins on a Tuesday. A Tuesday that happens to fall a full four days after school has let out for the summer and a week before Bruce will actually let him start shifting his patrol times into something befitting his suddenly open schedule. It seems, to the outside world and to Duke himself, like a normal Tuesday.
