Summary
“How much should we ask for?”
“At least a million.”
“I’d maybe ask the Bruce Wayne for more,” Dick finally says, cracking the tense air around them with a joke. “I’m curious how much you can get for me.”
—
Dick's driving from Bludhaven to Gotham when he gets stuck in a dangerous blizzard. Thankfully, the bed and breakfast along the way seems nice and safe.(It's not.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Dick feels a sense of achievement, thinking about what’s currently stored in the trunk from his trip across the Pacific a few days ago. Packaged firmly in a wooden box are sixteen hand-crafted knives by Yuki Masamune, a world-renowned Japanese bladesmith and chef notoriously elusive and rumored only to take custom orders from those who are worthy — and also, more importantly, Alfred’s favorite bladesmith and chef. The butler can talk about his work for hours — how his work glints silver even in the dark, boasts a paper-thin edge, and has a fiercely gorgeous look from the delicately hammered sides — so naturally, a custom set made for the perfect gift idea.
And since Masamune-san agreed to make it, the trip was worth it in the end.
Even if, instead of dramatically recognizing worthiness in Dick, the elderly bladesmith took one look at him and said, “Huh. It seems you’re the type of person who, after losing the trust of others, desperately seeks to gain their approval again. That’s pretty embarrassing for you, son. I will craft the blades for your grandfather. Because I feel bad for you.”
(Kyoto was a humbling experience.)

@ohnoourtableitsbroken3 | omg why is this so embarrassing??? im embarrassed FOR her
@sugarsweetbabiex | god i want batdaddy to shout at me too
Babs sees a little face over her crossword puzzle and a pair of impossibly light blue eyes looking at her. She jolts, clutching her chest.
“Hi,” Tim says obliviously, casually balancing his weight on her drawn-up knees with his soft gummy palms. “You look sad.”
--
15-year-old Babs has never needed validation from anyone, but... Batman's latest words to her have left her spiraling. It would be a good time for a mental health break, if not for the men trying to kidnap 5-year-old Timothy Drake while she's babysitting him.- Language:

Summary
“Hi,” she says in a breathless rush, then takes a moment to swallow and wet her lips. “I, uh, need your help?”
“Are you dying?”
“N-not exactly.”
“Then you don’t need me,” comes Jason’s lazy, uninterested reply.
The call ends with a click.
--
Steph doesn't know what's more embarrassing: that she's been locked in a closet during a party, or the fact that her "friends" aren't really her friends.And to top it all off, Jason's the only one who can come rescue her.
