Summary
“Could you come with me to the zoo today?” Grayson asks, dropping the amused expression for a second to take a serious one, as if a request to visit the zoo is the most important thing in the world.
Damian debates in his head for a second, “What’s in it for me?”
Grayson narrows his eyes like he does when he’s looking at a case file, “Does there need to be something in it for you?”
“Ideally,” Damian says, shrugging his shoulders.
“Damian, not everything has to be a transaction,” Grayson says, his shoulders drooping for a millisecond and an uncharacteristic edge of frustration in his voice.
Or: Damian meets Zitka and maybe sees a new side to one Dick Grayson.- Language:

Summary
When Bruce had opened Dick’s door his son had also been asleep. Buried under several comforters and rolled up in a ball. His head the only thing poking out of the nest he had created for himself. His mouth was open and small wheezing breaths came from it. Bruce had quietly crossed the room and gently checked his forehead. Warm, but not hot. He had tucked the blankets tightly around his son and after running a hand through Dick’s hair, made a note to take his temperature the following day.
By the morning the fever had set in and Dick was halfway to delirium.
A constant stream of nearly incoherent mumbling was softly coming out of Dick’s mouth. Only interrupted when his throat was too dry to continue and Bruce would gently slip an ice chip between his chapped lips. The words were quiet and at times incomprehensible, but when a coherent sentence slipped through it never failed to pierce Bruce’s heart like a sharp blade of guilt crafted from his own making.

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.

Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

Summary
“I know what you’re going to say, Batman,” Damian said, shrugging the hand off his shoulder. “You’re going to tell me that Nightwing is dead, and that people don’t come back from the dead. Well, clearly you are wrong, seeing that you were dead and I was dead and Red Hood was dead and even Superman was once dead-”
“My parents are dead,” Father interrupted. “Nightwing’s parents are dead. There have been a few notable exceptions in extenuating circumstances, Robin, but the rule stands. Everyone can die.”
OR
Damian meets a 10-year-old Dick Grayson, and they become best friends.

Summary
A magical something-or-other pulls Mary and John Grayson from their final performance, mid-fall, and spits them out into a grungy alley with no idea how they got there, much less why they're there now.
And to make matters worse, Dick is nowhere to be found.
Written for the Batman Bingo 2020 prompt: "Time Travel." Heavily inspired by the song of the same title.

Cold hands, sharp smiles by Half_Dead_Ham
Fandom: Danny Phantom, DCU (Comics), Nightwing (Comics), Titans (Comics)
31 Mar 2023
Summary
After a rough run in with a blood cult, Dick has been living his life differently. His new diet, his new senses, his new... nightmares, all tossed together with the fact that Danny and Wally are just so cute and supportive in his time of need and adjustment. Well, at least he can say one thing; all those "who is most likely to be a cryptid among the Gotham vigilantes'" gossip articles were way off.

Summary
“This apartment isn’t as secure as you think,” Tiger said, slamming the door and clicking the deadbolt shut. That’s all there was: a deadbolt and a flimsy lock. Tiger had seen more security on the door of abandoned shacks.
“It’s my sanctuary,” Dick said. There was a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead, and his arm- shoulder dislocated- was hanging limp against his side. Even with all that, a wild grin was split open across his face. You’d never be able to tell from his expression that he was injured at all.
“It’s a shitty sanctuary,” Tiger replied, “Now sit down.”

Or: Six times Tiger found himself stuck in Bludhaven.

Summary
"Someone needs to go with him." Diana said. "She's a goddess of family. Her blessing will come from the strength of his familial ties."
All the more reason I should go. Damian thought.
Bruce and Dick shared a long look. Perhaps to the others in the room, it was a fast, indecipherable look, but Damian caught the pull of Dick's mouth and the tightness to his father's jaw. However, it was Bruce that said "Red Hood and Red Robin."
Damian's eyes widened.
Grayson was as good as dead.
Or the one where Dick's brothers manage to royally piss off an ancient deity that sends them careening through memories he'd rather they didn't see.

“Not trying to be a bother officer, I was just minding my own business and all of a sudden these fine policemen decided to swarm. Not sure what they’d want with little old me.” Nightwing keeps his voice even and friendly. People like friendly, even when they don’t trust it.
Jim Gordon, of course, has never just been people. “Man, I don’t have time for this shit. One Batman is enough, we don’t need copycats running around. You’re gonna get yourself killed.”
