“Do you know why you’re here?”

Lex Luthor captures Nightwing as part of his revenge against Superman - while they wait for the Man of Steel, Luthor decides to have a bit of fun using the hero's very own weapons.

It was showtime.
“Hello passengers of the 04804 Limited Express from New Optain to East City, I regret to inform you about a slight change in schedule. You see, this train has been hijacked by the Eastern Liberation Front. This is your new captain speaking, Edward Elric, the People’s Alchemist.”
Ed allowed for his words to sink in. On the other end of the train, Al would leave his hiding place, moving from carriage to carriage to make sure no civilian got any ideas.
Instead of following Colonel Roy Mustang into the military, Edward and Alphonse Elric are recruited by the Eastern Liberation Front - it changes almost nothing. It changes absolutely everything.

Summary
Jason Todd wanted to point out that he had not been happy about the announcement that Dick Grayson would be joining them for his second Christmas celebration at the Manor. In his humble opinion, the older vigilante could stay far away from Bruce and Alfred’s gingerbread cookies, if that meant the holidays were more relaxed and nobody pestered Jason about his favorite things to do as Robin.
Dick Grayson as seen through the eyes of nine people - strangers, family, friends, and acquaintances.
Or: 9 Times Dick Lied About An Injury And Someone Noticed But Didn't Say Anything + 1 Time Dick Told The Truth And Nobody Believed Him

Summary
In the middle of a system so broken, it could only produce weapons of war, soldiers trained to die, and countries ready to fall in the name of their Führer, Heathcliff actually managed to find the eye of the hurricane. A microcosm of people that lived a reality in which their differences didn’t matter, in which Heathcliff’s prayers were just as normal as Hughes’ swooning fainting sessions and Mustang’s needless theorems about that old alchemy master of his.
He was still Ishvalen and they were still Amestrian, but for some time at least… it didn’t matter.
And then, one month after Heathcliff graduated from the military academy, an Amestrian soldier shot an Ishvalen child in Bayren, a town not even an hour away from where Heathcliff had grown up.

Summary
Ed fought and cursed and strived for an unreachable goal, their sins suffocating him since he was the brother who needed to breathe.

There was only one path forward, and Al could see how it slowly broke them.

Summary
But, yeah, all in all Ed wasn’t as badly hurt as the people currently occupying the sacred few hospital beds in Central.
His body begged him to rest, to slow down, and allow others to take care of his mess for once, but Ed had never been the best at looking after himself. It took a little bit more than a day for him to finally listen – he visited Al with the explicit goal of falling asleep next to his brother, his bed big enough for the two of them just this once.
Unaware of how dangerous his injuries from the Promised Day are, Ed waits too long to go see a doctor. In the end a few hours can make the difference between life and death.

You Wing Some, You Lose Some by AuroraKant
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics), DCU (Comics)
10 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
Tonight wasn’t about the Penguin, at least not really – it was about his buyers and the fact that they needed some airtight evidence on his involvement. A confession, maybe even a secondary location for some of his merchandise. Pretty standard information Jason planned on getting by pretending to be caught.
The moment Jason said the code phrase, Barbara would get them an extraction team. Not a moment later – but also not a moment earlier. That were the rules of the game. Missions like these meant pain, maybe even torture, just to get a few recordings of evidence and future leads. It was an ungrateful job – which was why Dick took them.
When Dick agreed to do this mission with Jason, he knew it would most likely include some physical pain - but waterboarding? Really? Dick hated getting waterboarded.

Absolution & Retribution by AuroraKant for Fleur_de_Violette

09 Oct 2022

Summary
Everyone knew Cassandra Cain was fearless – but only Cass knew the truth: fear lived inside her heart ever since she learned how to recognize in herself what she constantly saw in others. Loud noises startled her, and large men with gentle smiles made her uneasy. She didn’t like the taste of tomatoes, and strangers brushing against her in public made her want to crawl out of her own skin and burn what was left of her soul.
But none of that was fear, at least not really.
It was discomfort and trauma and leftover scars from a life spent in David Cain’s shadow.
Cass truly knew fear whenever a storm colored the sky dark, electricity making the hair on her arms stand up.

Summary
Jenny Hofborn and Hannah Riehm.

Before seeing them at the market just now, Winry had almost forgotten about that part of her childhood.

Resilience and the Power of Hope by AuroraKant

Tags
Summary
These asshole goons must have broken his leg while they captured them - not that Damian remembered just what exactly had happened. He knew Richard and he had planned on a joint patrol after months of the older hero staying in Blüdhaven, but following that… only static and a splitting headache.
“Nightwing! Hey! Nightwing!”
But it was useless - Richard was just as still and silent as he’d been the other five times Damian had tried to rouse him from afar.
Getting kidnapped is almost routine by now, but this time Damian is on his own - Dick just won't wake up.

Summary
Ed laid on the floor like a fallen angel, his blond hair a halo bathed in blood. One of the few rays of light breaking through the icy fog and debris illuminated his prone form, highlighting the paleness of his face and the deep crimson color of his coat.
A piece of rebar had impaled him, the metal as big as Alphonse’s fist. He could see it stick out of his brother’s stomach, red coating the dark grey floor. So much blood. There was just so much of it.
Al didn’t know what to do.
While escaping from Baschool, Alphonse and Winry turn back.

Summary
“It’s a tragedy, isn’t it?” Jason said.
“What?” Robin was still angry, but now Jason could see him for what he was: a child, just as he had been a child, just as Dick had been a child.
Tim Drake was shaking, and Jason had to push down the urge to laugh.“It’s a tragedy, isn’t it?” he repeated. “To always be the second best. I spent my days as Robin failing to live up to the golden standard, and now here you are… and you’re losing against a homicidal maniac caught up in a Greek drama.”
With his life in danger, Jason's only chance of survival is Tim Drake - the Robin he tried to kill.

Summary
Dick had grown up fighting, had learned how to snap to awareness faster than the Joker could say “joke’s on you”, had experienced more disorienting wake up calls than he was willing to admit, and yet he could already tell that this was different from the dozens of times he had been kidnapped before.
For one, he was naked. It was never a good sign when he woke up naked.
OR: Dick gets captured by Roman Sionis - the businessman has very specific ideas about Dick's future.
