Summary
Dick runs his tongue over one fang. "Bruce," he's saying. "I can't lose you. You of all people should understand. You'll forgive me. You're going," he says, with increasing conviction, and something thrums underneath the words like a string yanked taut behind Bruce's navel, "to forgive me."

Summary
Dick set himself to cataloging differences: a new scar worming across Bruce's thigh, red and keloid; a smattering of gray in the coils of hair across Bruce's chest and legs. Dick's fingers were larger. But other than that it was all the same. Bruce's bedroom certainly never changed, its heavy, claustrophobic drapery cocooning them away from both the chaos of the world and its strictures.

Summary
"Let me tell you about it, since you want to know," Dick says, in the light lilting Nightwing voice he uses for quips, before he brings his body down to do violence. He slides a little closer to Roy, his mouth hovering near Roy's ear.
Roy shivers.

Dick gives Roy a handjob and adds a little narration. -

Summary
"Bruce?" There's no reason, except for all of the obvious ones, that Dick's warm and familiar voice should feel like a weight on his shoulders. "Jesus, it's dark in here," he continues, coming around the desk to flick on a light. "You know, you aren't actually a nocturnal creature, you can turn on a table lamp once in a while. Unless you've got a migraine or something?"
"My head is fine," Bruce says, stiffly. "We've had a visitor."

Selina brings Dick and Bruce a gift. Bruce, as is his wont, broods about it. -

Summary
He's perched on the edge of the Breyfogle building, kicking his legs and enjoying the warm breeze that blows up from the new HVAC system on the roof, when he feels an odd sort of weight on him. But when he turns around there's no one there but Bruce, and the flat white gaze of the cowl's lenses.
Dick tugs at the hem of his leotard, suddenly a little self-conscious. He must have looked childish.

Summary
“We can live without Bruce,” he tells himself, unfortunately not for the first time in his life.
“Sure, but why would we?” Robin asks so earnestly, like the thought had never even occurred to him.
Dick hates him.
On Dick's 30th Birthday, he gets a conveniently timed blast from the past. It goes badly, but he gets to say some things he's never been able to before.

Summary
Bruce thinks that with all the things he knew going in, there were many others he hadn't quite anticipated. For example, the thrill of letting someone else into his life, allowing shadow after shadow into his life, only to see them become something more, something brighter and better than he.

Summary
Dick presses the bottom half of his face against the soft brown leather couch while he watches Slade strip the bed. He feels a tightness in his throat, watching him do a simple and selfless thing for him.
He hates being taken care of. It makes him think too much.
