Summary
Bashasa stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to stare at Kai, aghast.
“Kaiisteron,” he said.
The sound of his full name in Bashasa’s mouth sent a funny little jolt through Kai’s chest, different from the kind that came from his stab wound every time he tried to breathe too deeply. “Bashasa?”
“Are you under the impression that I am upset because my soldiers did a poor job of murdering you?”In the confusion of battle, Kai is mistaken for an enemy demon and attacked by one of his own soldiers. Kai thinks this is an understandable accident. Bashasa disagrees.

Summary
“Don’t. Don’t do this. You don’t want to do this, Hood,” Dick rambles, the dreaded truth like lead on his tongue, a swallowed weight sinking in his stomach; it’s not Jason’s fault.
He’s not in his right mind, but he’ll hate himself for it all the same. The same self-hate curdling in Dick’s gut now for getting them stuck in this situation in the first place.
Jason wrenches Dick’s head forward again with both hands. “I’ve got you,” he whispers, voice sweet and soft, and it makes Dick’s throat constrict tight, as if the hands holding his jaw in a bruising cradle have moved down to really choke him.
—
Jason encounters Ivy’s pollen. Dick is bound, and about to discover that if three’s a pattern, four makes a habit.

Summary
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)

Summary
“Bruce, you would report parents like those to the police. And by the time I was with the Titans, I would too. And still, Bruce, still, I took it when you hurt me because—because I don’t know. Because maybe, somewhere along the way, I started pretending you weren’t my father.”
"Hurt you," Jason echoes, and now his voice isn't raspy because he's pretending to be Batman. Bruce hurt Dick. The first son, the favourite, the one most like him.
Bruce hurt him?
"Do you still not understand what you did? What you keep doing? ‘It is what it looks like.’ Funny how I only realised it after my death, after you beat me up and sent me away from my family.”
Dick stands up, all stiff movements. The light from outside hits him directly, and Jason realises he’s in a nightmare.
Jason was—he was dreaming. This—this man, hunched and shaking and bleeding—cannot be Dick. His brother’s face could never be dripping with blood from his father’s fists.
“Look. You’ve made me a victim,” Dick tells him.
OR
Dick finally realises Batman is an abusive piece of shit, and so do his brothers. What follows is never that simple.
