    Summary

    One last time he let his voice ring loud: “I am Dick Grayson, Son of King Bruce! I am the oldest of seven, and I will bring you back! I will save you! And we will all return home together.”

    His siblings vanished from his view bathed in golden light, their delighted swan song still echoing in Dick’s ears. He picked up the first thistle, a thorn piercing his skin. He watched as a sole drop of blood ran down his finger… it had started.

     


    Or: Dick is eleven when he and his siblings get send to a castle in the woods - He is seventeen, when his brothers and sisters get turned into swans - And he is eighteen when he sets out to save them.

    Summary

    Dick and Bruce are like this:
    Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.

    Their story has always been radioactive.

    A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

    She's overheard five of these particular kinds of phone calls over the years, but they've never gotten any easier. Not for Artemis, not for Wally, and certainly not for Dick.

    Summary

    The post-patrol lull was always the worst part.

    Well, not quite. Murder always sucked. But the sudden silence and adrenaline crash after hours of nonstop movement was pretty jarring, in Dick’s opinion.

    You can only run on steam for so long. Sometimes, you need your family.
