    Summary

    ‘They stare at the screen in silence for a long moment, until the little black pixels spelling out Richard Grayson seem burnt into Dick’s retinas. He finds his mouth moving without his permission, the words crawling up his suddenly raw throat.

    Summary

    Dick’s spent the past few months recovering from an ordeal he’d rather not think about, so when Bruce asks him to spend quality time with Tim outside of their masks, he instantly agrees. Amid conversations, itineraries, nightmares, photos, revelations and a whole lot of chocolate, he and Tim navigate the Great Ocean Road—and learn more about themselves and each other along the way.

    Summary

    Dick doesn’t remember much of his life before.

    His first real memories, stable memories, begin only at age fourteen. They only begin the first day he ever stepped foot into the manor, as if Dick had been remade that very day. As if he knew, at that moment, that this was where his new life began.

    OR

    The year is 1931. The Flying Graysons have just fallen to their death. Their only surviving son, Dick, is taken in by Bruce Wayne, the heir to the Wayne Railway Fortune, to live with him in his manor. Whether or not this was for the best remains—unclear.

    Summary

    “You’ll give me magical training?” Merlin asks.

    Arthur smiles. “Yes, and training in courtly etiquette. I imagine Ealdor doesn’t have nobles?”

    “We don’t have nobles, but we do have pigs. And chickens,” Merlin says. When Arthur raises his eyebrows at him, Merlin flushes heavily with embarrassment. “Oh, shut up. My lord.”

    “Don’t talk to your king like that,” Arthur says, but he doesn’t actually seem very upset about it, even though Merlin sort of wants to hit himself in the face. “Welcome to Camelot, sorcerer-apprentice Merlin of Ealdor.”

    Or: Merlin is sixteen when he comes to Camelot, vying for the new position of court sorcerer that has opened under King Arthur—a noble king, golden and lionhearted, who is trying to legalise magic in all of Albion. Of course, Merlin doesn't expect to be chosen.

    But he is.
