Summary
The masculine jaw, the defined lips and a nose that had clearly been broken and righted more than once. Broad shoulders, thick, muscular hands, and the quiet assuredness of a man sizing up opponents far weaker than himself.
“You, uh,” Sean tried to laugh, but it came out more like a ragged breath. “You work out a lot or something, Mr. Wayne?”
“Something like that.”

Summary
Dick is haunted by the ghost of Grant Wilson.
Yes, like his actual ghost. No, he’s not lying, why the hell would he lie about something like that, Slade? Slade, come back. Seriously? You’ve met aliens, you’ve literally entered the speed force, but you draw the line at believing in ghosts?

Summary
He had to give him credit. With the way he swayed on the spot, listless and blank, Jason was surprised he was upright at all. Blood dripped from his fingers, a shard of glass peeking through kevlar and steel-tipped knuckles.
Jason stared.
Batman swayed a little harder. Then, weakly, “bucket.”
Or:
It's Bruce's turn to get hurt this time.

Summary
People always think Dick fights the way he does because he misses the circus, the roar of the crowd, the spotlight. Roy had always ribbed him about living for attention; Donna had tried to get him in front of the camera; Kori had, with a little more gentleness, mused once that that’s why they worked so well together.
The spotlight's not what he misses, though.

Summary
The first time Clark meets Robin, he’s completely confused about why Batman (Mr. I am vengeance, I am the night, and I work alone) would choose to have a hyperactive neon-colored ten-year-old as his partner in vigilanteism.
Over the next twenty years, he comes to understand clearly what makes Nightwing so special—though the relationship between Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne never gets any less complicated over time.

Summary
The bullet had gone in between the ninth and tenth ribs, slipping through a gap in the armor plating he is going to have to rectify in the next version of the suit. Bruce thinks it’s the ninth and tenth ribs, anyway. He’ll admit he’s having a little bit of trouble counting at the moment.

Summary
“I’d rather go a few rounds in the ring with Clayface than endure Bruce's brooding expression across the table.” Dick dropped his pitch in his signature gritty Batman-impression. “Dick, you should know that I had every valid reason for keeping case information secret from you. Also, I’m still disappointed in you for dropping out of Harvard Law. And you’re still fired from being Robin. Please pass the salt.” He paused, then asked bitterly, “Sound about right? Granted, I’m a little rusty on my impressions, but I think I hit it on the jaw.”
“Master Richard,” Alfred disapproved.
“You’re right, it’s unrealistic; he wouldn’t say please. How about, pass the salt, or you’re fired?”
For a moment, Alfred was quiet.
“Master Jason would like very much to meet you,” he finally said, tone carefully even.

After it happens, Bruce doesn’t say a word for half a year.
He’s always been a quiet kid. Martha used to worry about it, Thomas never did.
The doctor that checks him over in Gotham General in the aftermath, under flickering lights and damp stains, says it’s to be expected.

Summary
Jason comes back. He comes back and this time there's no coffin, no soil pressing down on him, no multiple wounds making all his movements all the more useless. This time, most of his mind is there. Some things stay the same: when he hits the streets, he's as alone and lost as he once was, back then. There is no mercy for the dead.

In which two broken people find each other and help each other heal.
Or, it's never properly addressed in canon that Bruce was suicidal after losing Jason. Or that Tim, at 13, knew how to talk people back from the brink of suicide.
This is a story about them slowly climbing out of that pit. Moments I wish canon gave us.
