Summary
Dick Grayson loves his siblings more than life itself. He had always wanted to be a big brother, the first couple months notwithstanding. And then he... wasn't anymore. And that hurt more than words could describe.
But it's years later and his first little brother is back, even if he barely wants anything to do with them. And he should've tried harder, he should've pushed him to accept his family's love.
Because now his first little brother is dead, again, and it's all his fault.

Summary
When someone is in love, don't you think they should know it?
When you already kill people, and have already died, loving someone so much that you would kill or die for them doesn't mean as much. But when you are living with, sleeping with, and working with the person you love most in the world, it should probably occur to you that you might be in love with them much sooner than it occured to Jason.
OR
Jason is friends with benefits and platonic life partners with Roy. It's only just occurred to him that nothing would change if he were to be in love with Roy, the next question is: is he in love with Roy?

Also, they both write music about it.

Summary
He’d bled out. He knew he had. If the batarang didn’t rip him away from this world on its own, then the bomb should have finished the job, and it did. Jason felt himself slip away. Once you’ve experienced death, there is no mistaking the sensation for anything else. Everything had been carried out the way it was supposed to, so how?
Jason didn’t leave the apartment for nine days. He ate canned ravioli and watched reruns of news footage covering the showdown with Joker, who had landed back in Arkham without a scratch on him. Batman saved the day again, folks. Red Hood was off the streets. Ding dong, the witch was dead.
Most hoped that the Hood was gone for good, either slain by the clown or scared away by the Batman. Either way, good riddance. Black Mask was still alive and kicking, regrettably, the fuckin’ cockroach.
And, more regrettably, so was Jason.

Summary
Daniel "Danny" James Fenton was a junior engineering student at Gotham University. He lived off-campus, in Park Row; or, as the natives called it, Crime Alley. The crime didn't really bother him much, though. Or the distance from campus. Or even the shoebox size of his apartment. It wasn't like he spent much time there, after all.
Daniel "Phantom" Nightingale was the Ghost-King-in-waiting. One day, he would be responsible for all of the unquiet dead and not-quite-dead, everywhere, forever. He was not technically required to pick up any of the duties until then, but when did problems ever get better for ignoring them? So he was handling things, as they cropped up.
Something just cropped up.
