Summary
Spyral had broken something in Dick.
When he returned to Gotham, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep going. He was the fun one. The easy smile, the glue that held everyone together. But what happens when the rock reaches his breaking point?
After two years of pretending, Dick starts to crack.
Now to keep his family from finding out.
OR
Dick self-destructs.
Featuring both the angstiest of angst and the author's attempts at humor to stop their tears from drowning the keyboard. Read at your own peril.- Language:

Summary
This place always felt too big. If he was being honest with himself, he didn’t really understand it. The cave was, in some ways, unfamiliar territory. Foreign country. He hesitantly gave his feet the gentlest of swings again. The Bunker was home -- this place… he had barely spent any time here before his father had died.
He stilled his feet.
His father had died.
--Some shameless posturing of Damian's feelings about Dick as a father figure.

Summary
It's funny what you can find while snooping.
Damian had heard that his father was ruthless in his pursuit of justice. No down time, no nonsense. But Richard is more than happy to take the night off to indulge him with the results of his invasive investigation.

Sad Day Lullaby by AuroraKant for writergeek

Summary
He had left his bed every day for the past five months, ever since Bruce had to go and die. Dick had been strong, even as everyone around him fell apart, he’d been the rock for so many people… it had to be okay if he just stayed here, unable to move because his body hurt too much, because his brain was tired beyond what a person was supposed to endure.
The world wouldn’t burn just because Batman stayed in bed, right?
OR: Batman!Dick has a bad mental health day - luckily he has a Robin to count on.

and how the spirits sing by orphan_account

Summary
When he comes to, he’s kneeling atop the Calamity’s head, with the Master Sword still embedded into its skull as it twitches and smokes on the ground. The golden rays are gone, replaced only by dark, stinking mist and dust drifting through the air.
The Calamity is still alive.
It must remain sealed.
He cannot let go of the Master Sword.
-
Deep within the belly of Hyrule Castle’s ruin, as the Princess dredges up the last wisps of her fraying power and siphons it into her Knight’s body, she prays to Hylia to send someone to save them all.
Deep within the wet, tangling forests of Faron, a group of eight–soon to be nine–heeds her call.
Link is trapped within Hyrule Castle, keeping the Calamity sealed by the skin of his teeth as he casts his soul across the province in search of someone, anyone who can help.
The Chain lands in a new Hyrule and finds themselves chasing behind the ghosts of a missing hero's footsteps--all the while there’s a strange, blond-haired boy following them, who never speaks, and who always seems to turn his face in the direction of the empty ruins of Hyrule Castle.

Summary
Dick Grayson is a performer. Jason Todd-Wayne was clever, quick, and strikingly small (though, if you listen to those who whisper in the shadows, the third has not been true for some time now). For Cassandra Wayne, people are as easy to read as an opened book. Barbara Gordon is one of the most talented hackers in the world. Timothy Drake has sticky fingers and something to prove.
In another world, perhaps this would lift them to the greatest of heights. Perhaps they would be monuments, role models, heroes from on high.
This is not that world.
In this world, rather than smash their foes into smithereens, they choose a more careful approach. Easing burdens. Taking weight.
One could say that they provide... leverage.
-
Or: Sometimes, all you need is a little help from the birds.
Sometimes, that help is a little less legal than every other cape would like for it to be.

Grave Promises by Blueseabird2
Fandoms: Danny Phantom, Nightwing (Comics), Batman - All Media Types
17 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Danny Fenton had nowhere to go and no one he could turn to without putting them in danger. Except, perhaps, the hero who'd cared for, respected, and trained Danny for all too short a time.
Dick Grayson had never told anyone he'd once been trapped in the Ghost Zone. He'd also never forgotten the promise he'd made sure to get from Danny Phantom.
Jason didn’t know what was going on but he was really very pissed that there was another kid with a y-shaped scar on their chest and eyes that feel like frozen reflections of home. Thankfully, there were suddenly several new targets for his rage and Dick seemed rather more inclined to join Jason than stop him.

Time (to Protect You) by Blueseabird2
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics)
06 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
Losing Damian not only hurt beyond measure but also made Dick the last Bat standing. He had nothing keeping him in a broken world so goes back in time with only one ally (Damian begs to differ) and no plan except to protect everyone he can, at any cost.
Dick starts with making sure Jason never dies at the hands of the Joker and proceeds to track down and love his siblings (while maybe also plotting the destruction of the League of Assassins). He just doesn't realize that a clan of highly trained vigilantes are more than capable of realizing that Dick is not okay, and of returning his devotion with their own.

Summary
“We’d like to ask you to join us,” she says, calm and confident and without a smidge of the fear that Clark is feeling. Maybe that’s because she hasn’t had the joy of interacting with them, but Clark also knows Diana is just Like That.
“No,” Batman says, “I work alone.” Another giggle from his cape and this time there's a flash of white, teeth or eyes Clark doesn’t know because the Batman shifts his weight and suddenly the creature he’s hiding in there is gone.
“Don’t bother us again,” something says from the table all of them were standing around. The strongest superheroes in, in ever, and there was a child dressed like a traffic light and holding a gleaming katana and not a single one of them noticed. Clark really wants to go home and cry into his hay bales.

The irony of Batman having that coffee mug was amusing. The thought of Brucie Himbo Trainwreck Wayne owning it was hysterical. Ollie took a quick swallow of coffee to push back a laugh. “I like the coffee mug. A friend of mine has the same one.”

The calm before the (Wild) storm by LunaLucrea
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
26 Jun 2023
Summary
A collection of short, mostly soft fics told from each member of the Chain's POV as they get to know their newest member a bit better throughout their travels.
All leading up to the start of a planned longfic that will not be... as soft, switching gears more toward hurt/comfort, angst, adventure, and found family feels.
(Note: One question I've been asked more than once is if the series/long fic will include TOTK. Having finally finished TOTK, I can confidently say that with a bit of re-working and some small but generous headcanons, I will be including post TOTK content in the MAIN longfic. The short fics have mostly been written pre-release of TOTK, and the plot of TOTK works well enough with the plans I have for the long fic that I can make it work.)
