Summary
Traught, whelmed, and feeling the aster, he’d said. Well she wasn’t feeling any of those things right now. In fact, she was rather distraught, overwhelmed, and definitely feeling the disaster. Heavy on the dis, as she felt a rib crack under her hands.
She’d seen him still and silent before, he was a Bat, contrary to popular opinion, Nightwing excelled at still and silent- when he wanted to. But this- this was wrong. The wrong kind of still, the wrong kind of silent. His face was twisted in a grimace even in his unconscious state. She refused to think of him as clinically dead at the moment.
The X-Pit had consequences if you weren’t a meta. Most of them had gotten to avoid them, thanks to Halo, but Nightwing had still been recovering. And now… they weren’t sure he would. -

Summary
A novelization of the game, featuring my inquisitor, Kitori Fox. (I'm working on a better summary bare with me T-T)
Kitori Fox is a human mage with an interesting magic, and an interesting distaste for other humans. Somehow the fate of Thedas falls to him. Perhaps his companions will figure out how that happened along the way.
It is a dangerous journey, but he has the might of the land backing him up. What could go wrong? -

Summary
The Nein are investigating a rumor of slave trade happening in Xourhas. What they don’t expect to see is a white fox limping out of the underbrush along the road, only to collapse halfway across. They’re even more surprised when the form changes into a humanoid shape, with an iron bolt piercing one leg.
Or: the Mighty Nien find an Arctic Fox in Xourhas. Oh wait that’s a human person; what’s he doing here?
Set sometime after Fjord becoming a paladin but before Caduceus gets to The Menagerie and the Clay Fam Reunion
(EDIT; I figured out the timeline. Begins after the downtime in Xourhas, before they head for Kamorrdah. I’m definitely futzing with the timeline to make this work.)

Summary
There's no heroic flyover when Robin closes the Breach, no open comm line with the Shatterdome. Just a crippled Jaeger and a bitter refusal to die.

Summary
“If I tell you to drop it, will you?”
Tim doesn't answer right away— but Dick already knew he wouldn't. He never did.
“...No,” Tim says finally, meeting Dick’s gaze without flinching. “You don’t get to disappear on us for a year, come back, pretend everything is fine and then expect me to just let it go. That’s not how it works.”
“He’s right you know,” the kid says unhelpfully. Why won’t he just shut up? Why is he always here?
Dick’s lip twitch.
“Tim…” Dick starts, but the warning in his voice doesn't carry much weight. He’s too tired. He’s been too tired for months. Maybe years. “Some things are better left alone.”
“Not when they’re eating you alive.” Tim’s voice drops, softer now, no less firm. “We’re not blind, you know. Jason won’t admit it but he worries. Damian keeps asking why you don't come by anymore. Even Babs—”
“Stop.” Dick’s voice comes out sharper than he means, and Tim flinches. Just barely, but enough for Dick to notice it and feel bad. He scrubs a hand over his face, exhaling hard. “The truth hurts worse than you think. And I’m not gonna put that on you.”
Or
Dick's not doing good after Spyral.

Summary
Tim dropped from the ceiling into the penthouse below. He tried to land as delicately as possible, but with his bruised ribs he couldn’t help but lean forward too much on his toes. It was a minor wobble most people wouldn’t notice.
“You’re shifting your weight too much over your ankles.”
Dick Grayson was not most people.
------
or, after an injury forces Dick into early retirement, Tim takes up the mantle of Nightwing and all the weight that comes with it.

Summary
A faint hum, a fuzz of white noise, started in Jason’s brain sometime during the ruckus. Its volume grows now as the lobby clears out and the chatter quiets down.
For a few moments as the spy staggered towards the window, maybe twenty feet away from Jason, the distant side profile of his face looked– familiar.
───
It's been four years since the family lowered Dick's coffin into the ground, and Jason finally feels like he’s settling into his new job with the BAU. That is, until two people part of an illusive group called ‘Spyral’ arrive in custody.
aka. Jason works for the BAU and Dick hasn't come back from Spyral.
