    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.

    You should've let me die, he wants to yell.

    Summary

    He’d taken Jason and run.

    He’d barely even planned it. He knew that made him sloppy, but he didn’t care. He had a one-up over the Bat anyways.

    He had friends. Were they a liability? Bruce would say so. Bruce would say his friends could be interrogated, might break, the only person he could trust was himself.

    Things like that were why Dick had taken Jason and run.

    .
    Or, Dick saves Jason from the vigilante life. In turn, Jason saves him back.

    Here is something:

    It was an accident.

    Here is another:

    He dies anyway.

    Summary

    “I can’t pick between you two, Jay.” He said, “Even if you wouldn’t ask me to, I know you’re not his biggest fan and I can’t… I can’t make you hang around him, but I can’t pick him over you, or you over him.” Another sigh, “And my bullshit is a pretty tall order to be throwing at him, anyway. He’s busy enough without dealing with me.”

    Jason, for a moment, seemed to deeply consider that, face going through several expressions rather swiftly. Finally, it settled on resignation. “Roy,” He said, “If you try to patch things up with Dick…” A deep breath, an uncomfortable twist of his lips, “So will I. I know I need to, especially if I’m getting on your case about it. So how about that?”

    OR

    In which Roy grieves for the friendship he had with Dick when they were younger and doesn't want to do anything about it because he doesn't want to burden Dick, but Jason isn't having any of that "I'm a burden" shit.

    Reconciliation efforts, enter stage right.

    “We are such awkward pieces of shit.” Roy uttered.

    “Sure are.” Jason agreed in a grumble,
