Summary
Wally has grown up a lot in the past few years. Seeing him up close today took Dick off guard - his friend has aged a little, filling out and looking a bit more rugged. He looks really nice in his fitted jeans, and Dick has found himself eyeing him all night.
Dick has been making a very valiant attempt to not ogle his best friend. Old teen crushes die hard, though. He frowns, a little embarrassed. He’s thirty now, and he should be past this. Wally is his friend, and that’s all it’s going to be.
Or maybe not.
OR:
For Dick's 30th birthday, Wally gets him a gift. Things quickly escalate from there. -

Summary
"Master Dick, I do nothing but worry. None of you seem to know the very basics of keeping yourselves alive."
He curls his aching arms under his grandson and hoists him up, lifting with his knees. The boy is more a man now - nearing thirty - and is heavier than when he was as a young child. Still a boy to Alfred, who will be pushing ninety very soon. He frowns. The weight matters not. Not when it comes to family.

Summary
Blüdhaven welcomes Nightwing like an old friend. She can smell it in his blood - he knows poverty, of what hunger can bring out of people. He believes in rehabilitation, unafraid of ambiguity like the Bat is. Between old concrete and brick, Nightwing makes the city his home. Soon enough, Nightwing and Blüdhaven are one.
Eight months after the death of Blockbuster, Dick is still struggling to recover. As a natural disaster threatens to flood Blüdhaven's shores, he and Jason fight to rebuild.

Summary
It’s a slow process that tears Dick apart.
Time becomes irrelevant when days begin to blend into each other. The lapses in his memory don’t seem concerning until he finds himself completing tasks he doesn’t remember starting.
The family fails to notice his radio silence as anything unusual until it becomes, quite possibly, too late.

Summary
They don’t happen often—once a month or so, with varying degrees of spottiness. Sometimes Dick will walk into a room and forget what he’s there for. He’ll forget the locations of things, like where he left his keys or where the refrigerator is. Once he forgot his own name.
Even if the episodes don’t occur often, that doesn’t make them any less terrifying.
His name is Dick Grayson. He is at Wayne Manor. It’s five in the morning.
