Summary
Richard Grayson, his mother’s Robin, wasn’t a boy who froze. How could he when he was constantly in motion? A pendulum swinging from nest to perch to the arms of his father. It was physics. Fate. An inevitability. Jump, swing, fly, soar, catch, land.
Familiar motions that Dick had ingrained into his very soul, the traits that were at the core of Robin, that created Officer Grayson. But in the end he was a bat as well, it was Bruce’s guided hand that created the mind of Detective Grayson, his mistakes that bore the creation of Nightwing - a name Jason wasn’t even supposed to know about.
It was still a whisper on the breeze, distant birdsong that Dick had only just begun to hear before the rug had been pulled out from under him. He wondered if the Titans, new and old, knew of this new identity, of this step to independence.

After revealing the truth about Jericho Dick leaves the Titans (He's sort of forced out, it's a grey area) and he returns alone to Bludhaven. Jason the lost duckling (robin) that he is, follows him.
Inspired by the amazing oo2yb's "When the Morning Breaks Us" An absolutely fabulous fic, with a gorgeous premise that I love and cannot recommend enough
