    Summary

    “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

     

     

    Robin died a hero, and Dick Grayson lived to see himself become a villain.

    Eight years later, Renegade has died a villain. Maybe Nightwing can live to see himself become a hero.

    But just because his master is dead doesn’t mean Nightwing is free of the scars he left behind.

     

    Or: The Apprentice AU where Dick Grayson lost his sense of identity. But now that Deathstroke is dead, he’s starting to learn how to rebuild himself, one step at a time.

    Summary

    Ten years ago the Justice League's covert Operations team was lost. The Light refused to let six teenagers continue to beat them and thus destroyed any chance that the children would grow to become formidable adversaries.
    Half the team is dead, the other is past saving.
    Or at least, that's what the league thought.

    Summary

    Sequel to An Active Imagination

    It's been ten years since Martian Manhunter freed him from Slade's influence, and Dick's come a long way. (Or maybe he's simply far better at hiding the scars Deathstroke left behind.)

    Now working as Nightwing and with a large family at his back, Dick hasn't had to think about the mercenary in a long time. Unfortunately for Dick, the past is never content to stay buried, and it appears that Slade Wilson still has a few tricks up his sleeve...

    Summary

    Dick smiles up at the stars, hidden from view behind by the clouds, and hopes Damian knows it’s really for him. “I love you. And I know you’re going to just disappear on me now, that’s totally cool. I know this stuff is hard for you. But I needed you to know that, even if you didn’t want to hear it. You’re my brother, and I love you.”

    Summary

    "Damian has a lot of lights shining inside his soul. It surprises him every time — so many people, being forever linked to him, who for most of them love him.

    He loves watching them, when he closes his eyes before sleep comes to take him; he retreats in this dark place inside of him where all the lights live and illuminate his world."

     

    OR: Damian takes a look at the lights inside of him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Made me alternatively cry tears of joy and sadness multiple times. Absolutely recommend if you are a fan of Dick learning to parent Damian and Damian learning to love and trust Dick. Characterization is perfect, and the progression of their relationship is super natural. The writing is simple yet effective, and really charming, especially as you go along and really get to know the characters. I absolutely loved every second of reading it.

    Summary

    Grayson behaves like this sometimes: like Damian needs to be protected. It twists his stomach in sharp and unfamiliar ways.

    “You leave, then!" Damian spits. "I’ll—I’ll track Clayface on my own.”

    Another shudder takes him. The pain floods him all over again. It doesn’t matter: he won’t cry out. The rain pelts the dumpster behind him. It pools in cracks in the concrete.

    Summary

    Somewhere in the multiverse there is a world in which things went differently.
    A world in which Batman had chosen Justice over Humanity.
    A world in which Dick Grayson was never allowed to become Robin;
    Jason Todd was never really able to leave the street behind;
    Tim Drake never learned what love really meant;
    Damian Wayne struggled to keep his guard up;
    Cass and Steph fought for themselves and only for themselves;
    And Oracle was just a mystery.

    A world that was just so much darker than anything they knew.

    Summary

    Bruce's eyes laser-focus on Dick's plate with classic Batman scrutiny. "You didn't eat anything," he observes.

    Dick waves it off like it's not even an issue. Eating? What's that? Who's she?

    --

    Dick has an eating disorder and a boat load of trauma, but he also has his family, and they're going to help him through it.

    Summary

    Tim Drake has landed in an alternate universe and something is very wrong here. He needs to find a way home, but in the mean time everyone's hiding something from him, and he plans on getting to the bottom of it.

    ----

    That’s where he’s waiting when he hears footsteps behind him. He doesn’t try to hide.

    "If you do this, Master Tim, I fear you will be opening a can of worms that is much better left closed."

    Tim turns and regards Alfred for a moment before letting out a tired sigh. "I have to know, Alfred."

    "But why, sir? You will be going home, soon. Why does it matter?"

    Tim shrugged. "I can't help it. I have to know. I'm a detective. It's how he raised me."

    Alfred's smile is sad, his eyes suddenly damp. "No, my boy. I believe you came to us that way all on your own."

    Summary

    Tim and Jason and Babs were mad at him, and Dick couldn’t even explain himself. Only Damian – oh, and how his heart had soared, learning that his boy was ALIVE! – had welcomed Dick back, and… and in his desperation Dick had proposed spending the holidays together. No presents, of course. No pressure to be overtly nice to each other. Just… what was left of their family together in one place.

    Tim had been the one who remembered Bruce’s skiing cabin up in Blue Ridge Mountains, and suddenly they had a plan.

    Dick returned from Spyral in the hopes of reconnecting with his family - what he found instead was a Bruce who had forgotten them all and brothers who expressed their grief through anger. This holiday was supposed to let them heal. But can you heal something as broken as them?

    The child drops the glove and then makes grabby hands at Nightwing who has no idea what to do except to offer his bare hand again.

    “I’d really like to know your name,” Nightwing tries. “My friends are going to be here soon, and I’d like to introduce y-”

    Bare fingers touch his skin. Nightwing blacks out immediately.

    Summary

    Dick never told Bruce what happened with Slade while he was in Jump City, not wanting his dad to worry (and not wanting to look weak). But now, years later, they need Deathstroke's help on a mission, and the truth finally comes out to his entire family, and to the League.

    And, as per usual, Slade Wilson has a few dozen agendas up his sleeve.
