Summary
"There’s an ache in his chest, deep and all-consuming.
Dick knows pain. It’s evidenced by the marks on his skin, the scars that litter his body. He’s been trained to withstand pain. To bear it. To hold out until rescue or until the inevitable opening for escape makes itself known. He’s held out under torture for longer than what should be humanly possible. He’s been broken, bruised, torn open, and mended time and time again. Gotten up even when he shouldn’t be able to, unwavering and unyielding. His years spent moonlighting as a vigilante has built up his pain tolerance to an unscalable level. He’s triumphed over so much. So much hurt, anguish, and grief. So, so much grief.
And it’s the grief that’s most prominent. That gnawing emptiness that expands and expands, never being filled. Grief weights on him, an ever-constant companion in his life.
Dick is used to pain.
So why does it hurt this much?"

Summary
“Gotham is filthy,” Damian says flatly, honestly. “I understand now why Mother sent me here instead of coming herself.”
Nightwing’s face is turned to the left, but the smile on his lips is audible. “It’s not all bad,” he says.
Damian thinks of Grayson, and the too-sweet donut he had given him, and the Chinese restaurant with the nice Asian lady and the park and the stray cat that had crossed through the grass in the darkness.
“No,” he admits grudgingly, “I suppose not.”
(Or, in a world where he was never sent to live with his father, Damian al Ghul is contracted to assassinate one Dick Grayson.)

Summary
Dean has made it into Heaven. So have his brother, his parents, and just about everyone else that he's called a friend or family over the years. It's great. It's awesome, even. Except... there's one particular angel that is conspicuously absent from Dean's almost perfect afterlife; though Dean knows he's flitting around Heaven somewhere.
Dean sets out to find him.

Summary
Dean is a sheriff in a tiny town in Colorado, restless and unsatisfied with his life. It's not like what he's read about in the dime novels since he was little, capturing dangerous outlaws and being the last word of the law. More like tossing the town drunk in a cell to sober up when they get a little too rowdy.
But Dean's chance comes when a thief rolls through their town. He pursues the thief, which puts him right into the path of Emmanuel, a notorious outlaw. When he is captured by the outlaw and his gang to be held for ransom, Dean starts off on a journey he could have never envisioned, and learns that perhaps there's more to Emmanuel than meets the eye.
