Summary
"Everyone tells themselves little stories about who they are," she told him. "Stories about why they do what they do, why they want what they want. And that's fine—telling a story isn't the same as telling a lie, you know?"
"Sure," Dick agreed.
"It only gets fucked up when you start thinking your story is the only story worth believing," Jay said. "That you've got some kind of monopoly on truth, that you're the only person who gets to tell other people what's really real. So… you let me have my little stories, and I'll let you have yours. If you need to believe in Batman, if you need Bruce to be a good father, if you need to roll around in your shame about not being honest with Daddy about all the awesome sex you're having with the most problematic of Daddy's problem children—I mean, sure, whatever gets you off, right?"
Dick Grayson navigates the line between fantasy and reality, tries to be a better man, has increasingly kinky sex with his pseudo-sister, and refuses to have a crisis about any of it. Jay's taking everything in stride, so why shouldn't Dick learn to accept a little volatility in his civilian life? It's only as Nightwing that he has to care about control.

Summary
She gave Dick the look he often received from women who were smarter and prettier than him—the one that said she was unconcerned by his existence, despite the fact that she wasn't exactly sure what was wrong with him.
"Okay, great," Dick's dream girl said. She waved her hand toward his apartment, which Dick was still stupidly blocking with his stupid body. "Are you gonna let me come in?"
"I'll let you cum wherever you want," said Dick's stupid mouth.
Or: a pair of lovable idiots problematically drag each other into their problematic kinks.

Summary
Jarro joins the Bat Family - that is, the Bat Family from the Wayne Family Adventures universe.
"You said 'he is'," Dick said. "You've been calling Jarro 'he', not 'it'. That isn't the League's protocol for alien specimens, is it?"
"No," Bruce said. "Though I did call Jarro 'it' at first. Until he told me he wanted to be… addressed correctly."
"So… your psychic alien starfish science experiment told you that you were misgendering him," Duke said. "And that made you realize he was a real person."
Bruce winced. "That is… not entirely inaccurate."

Summary
Bruce told himself he was only here for the case.
In the years before he'd taken on the mantle of Batman, Bruce'd had a different kind of secret identity: a gay man seeking anonymous companionship in Gotham's bar scene. Now, fifteen years later, Batman's work leads Bruce to revisit his old haunts. Bruce is forced to reckon with who he was then versus who he is now—and with the tantalizing but terrifying possibilities buried within his own mind.
