    Summary

    Back when he still lived at home, Sirius had been certain that he wouldn’t make it to eighteen. Those thoughts had stopped when he came to live with the Potters. He’d found hope again. Happiness. But that was over. So he would be proving young Sirius right. The only difference was that he wouldn’t be dying by Walburga's hands, like he’d thought then. The hands tying the rope would be his own.

    He stared down at the abyss in front of him, eyes stuck and unfocused as they reached for the ground. His mind had already jumped weeks ago. He just needed a last bit of courage to make his body take the final step as well.

    -

    Post-Prank Sirius is alone and in a worse headspace than ever. Remus hadn't talked to him for weeks and the rest of his friends had followed James' lead in ignoring and excluding him. He'd lost everything. The only thing he had left was his life and he was starting to think that it was worth nothing now that he'd lost his friends... now that he'd lost Remus. With a guilty conscience, Sirius' mind reaches for his last hope of making everything right again.

    Summary

    For all of the chaos that had been around him moments ago, the sudden stillness left Dick reeling.

    He swallowed roughly, feet planted firmly shoulder width apart with his arms loose by his sides. Those very same arms somehow still felt like he was holding a small body, his ears still listening out for the shallow breaths of the boy that had been whisked away into surgery.

    Dick was alone now in that small bay, his brother’s blood slowly drying on his hands. He knew that he should move, he should clean himself up before the others arrived, but it was as though Dick was as still as the rest of the room had become. In all honesty, he wasn’t even sure if he was breathing himself, his focus locked on the mess of blood and gauze on the ground.

    Damian’s blood.

    That was Damian’s blood.

    Summary

    Death had tainted him. Dick knew that for sure. He wasn’t pulling his punches, not that much, not anymore—he ignored the news headlines of ‘NIGHTWING BRUTALISES COMMON STREET THIEF’ because he hadn’t been some common street thief. He had cornered a woman, not a poor woman, just a woman, who had nothing besides the clothes on her back, and threatened to keep her mouth quiet for her.

    The man had deserved the death that came later. And Dick didn’t feel guilty about it. Sure, maybe a flicker of something, but—people like that? There’s no rehabilitation for them. There’s no hope. There’s some— some sick desire somewhere inside them, to maim and cause agony, cause harm to innocents.

    But… Dick was not innocent, unlike what his logic suggested. He was something else. A toxin, he was poisonous.
