Summary
A dizzying tension seemed to fill Dick’s head the longer he stared, obscuring any semblance of a reasonable thought. None of it made sense: the bright red outfit where every other Shadow wore black, the way his sword looked both natural and out of place in his skilled hands, the fact that he seemed oddly…familiar.
Was he even real?
“Is that a sword in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” The words slipped out before Dick could bite his tongue, and he found himself wishing the assassin would rethink his position on not killing him, if only to spare Dick any further humiliation. “That came out wrong…”
During a self-imposed sabbatical from the team, Dick encounters the strangest of mysteries in Gotham City involving the League of Shadows, a ninja dressed in Red, and a long-lost Robin he thought to be dead.

Summary
Dick knew it was dangerous. The list of every reason why it was a terrible idea flashed through his mind like a shrieking siren, but he still found himself taking Chance’s hand. Maybe just one more dance was all he needed to scratch that itch and be done with this. With him. For good, this time.

Summary
Like fathers, like sons, Tim sighed.
Wait. Fathers. Sons.“...Or maybe you two shouldn’t kiss. It’d be quite inappropriate, wouldn’t it?”
Payback never felt so sweet.
Dick tilted his head in confusion while Chance scowled at the interruption. “What do you mean, Robin?”
He painted on a face of innocence, waving to Bruce and Two-Face’s limping crawl in the distance. “I mean, they look pretty chummy over there. I know it’s been awhile, but didn’t they use to have a thing? I’m no expert, but it certainly looks like our dads could be reconnecting, if you know what I mean.”
Tim winked just to see the murderous glint in Chance’s eyes darken. Success.

Summary
Ten years ago, Dick Grayson left Gotham for his dream job in Washington DC and broke two hearts in the process. When he is called back to Gotham because Bruce is updating his estate documents, Dick finds that things have changed as much as they have stayed exactly the same.
Feat. hover cars, bourbon on the rocks, a secret too big to hide (that gets hidden anyway), an obligatory hostage situation, threats of dismemberment, a concerning amount of legal jargon for a fic, and maybe even a kiss or two.

Summary
Dick had prepared himself for putting away the Batman suits, and having to finally clear the memorial Bruce created to Jason’s death even though it filled him with dread to open the case and touch the Robin suit again. He’d joked to Alfred though his voice was wet and broke on the words that he didn’t know who else would want a giant penny. But Dick felt he’d mentally prepared himself.
