Summary
Dick Grayson has a secret.
For years, Deathstroke has been trying to recruit him as his apprentice. For years, Dick has said no. But after one mission too many, one life-or-death decision too many, one weight-of-the-world moment too many...
Dick finally says yes.
-----
Zatanna Zatara understands.
She's been carrying her own weight since her father became Doctor Fate's host. When Dick leaves the Team to train with Deathstroke, she makes her own choice...
To grow powerful enough that she'll never feel helpless again.
-----
The cost?
Exile from the Team, judgment from the League, and two years of operating in the gray areas that heroes pretend don't exist.
The reward?
Freedom, power, and fighting alongside each other every step of the way.
-----
Featuring: Slade as a surprisingly decent mentor, Constantine as his usual terrible influence self, Giovanni getting monthly weekends off from being Doctor Fate, Bruce trying to be less emotionally constipated, and the Bat Family and the Team slowly realizing that maybe Dick and Zee don't need saving after all.
-----
(The fic where Dick and Zee go rogue that no-one asked for!)

Summary
Dick has worked hard to build a family in the aftermath of tragedy, but Gotham can never let him enjoy peace for long. As Dick, Tim and Barbara work to stop a trafficking ring that has established itself in Gotham. The discoveries they make threaten to destroy everything they have worked so hard to protect.
--
As he turns the corner he begins to hear the sounds of screaming over the roar of the flames. He doesn’t see anyone at first, but then an arm sticks out through a basement window.
“Help! Please someone help us!” A voice cries out.
Tim rushes forwards, and finds a basement window metal bars installed over, blocking the escape of those trapped inside. The arm touches the metal and a shout of pain follows.
“Batman I’ve got victims trapped in a basement!” Tim reports, as he gets closer to the building. “There appears to be-”
His words cut off into a gasp as he looks into the window, at least a dozen women and children are in the basement.

Summary
Not many people can remember the details of that night, and those who do tend to keep it to themselves. At 12:34 a.m. on May 6th, a boy fell from the sky—an event so strange that it seemed almost unreal.
The next night, he woke up confused and hungry. His mind wandered, lingering on one simple question: How am I still alive?
Future author of this fic: So the beginning is kinda boring and unoriginal, but I hope you at least give it a try, and if you don't like then that's understandable. I hope whoever is reading this has or had a good day!

Summary
“Dick, did you really think we wouldn't celebrate your birthday?”
“You have no obligation to do so. Things haven't been great between us lately,” he added in the calmest voice he could muster.
“You're my son, Dick. Nothing..." Bruce began, but stopped, looking at Dick with uncertainty.
“What?” he asked with a mocking smile. “Nothing is going to change that?” he asked with feigned amusement. “Oh, but it already has, hasn't it, Batman?” He drew out the name.

Summary
Who knew that what he had been searching for all his life would come from another universe?
He had thought himself above such things above yearning, above weakness, above the gnawing ache of loneliness that crept in during the quiet hours of the night. He had forged himself into a weapon, a blade honed by shadows and sharpened by blood. But blades, no matter how flawless, still break.
Then he saw him.
Dick Grayson but not his Dick. Older, worn by battles Damian had never fought, softened by joy. Damian had never known. A man who carried light even through scars. It was infuriating. It was intoxicating. It was everything Damian had never allowed himself to want. -
