Summary
Touch of Ollie’s fingers, sliding down his ribs. Further, further, dipping into the hem of his slacks where they rest, unbearably still. Dick’s heartbeat doubles, triples, seizes altogether before Ollie’s hands finally, finally slip in.
‘’Oh—‘’ Voice dipping low, low, low as his fingers brush up against black lace. ‘’Oh, sweetheart. I thought you said you weren’t going to wear them.’’
---
AU in which Roy is dead and Dick and Ollie work through their grief in unconventional ways.

Summary
''Take it off,'' he says, one hand clumsily grabbing at your suit while the other holds your jaw.
Before you can answer, he's slid his thumbs underneath the cowl, right above your cheekbone. Then he's pulling it off. Gently; a bizarre contrast to the frenzied desperation of his mouth.
Not cracking a shell for you to spill out of, but peeling you; carefully removing dead skin to reveal the glossy wound beneath, not yet healed. Never healed but for now, at least, not bleeding.
''There he is.''
Then you're ripping off his domino, and then he's looking into your eyes. Blue meets green and the rest unfolds like a chemical reaction.

Summary
The thing that tips him off balance is not what Dick expected. He can’t even say for sure what it is that Roy says, except it’s probably something idiotic like: daddy should bend you over and fuck your brains out— and rather than roll his eyes, or shutting him up with another sloppy kiss, Dick shudders.
‘’That’s what you want, baby?’’ Roy says then, eyes snapping open, like a dog that’s caught a scent. ‘’You’d like daddy to fuck you?’’
And before Dick knows what he’s doing, his body’s moving on without him, mouth opening stupidly, despicably to say:
‘’Yes, daddy—‘’
*
OR: Roy discovers something new about Dick and has a little too much fun with his newfound power.
(Set post canon. Title from The Long and the Short of It by Richard Siken.)

Summary
''I’m not him,'' you say, without understanding why. ''I don’t want to be. I’m not going to be. I’m not.''
His face does that thing again where it twitches incomprehensibly. Then it settles into something familiar, something that makes your heart fill to the brim; a smile, lopsided and warm and gentle as sunlight.
''Good,'' he says, raising his glass. ''I’ll hold you to that.''
*
Dick's minor identity crisis turns major and he and Roy fuck about it.
(Title paraphrased from Landmark by Richard Siken)

Summary
Shaggy-dog, noun:
An extremely long winded story, anecdote or joke, that – despite its excessive narration – terminates in an anticlimax. That is to say, that preconceived notions of typical story structure is, in itself, an undoing. That is to say, that the human desire for closure is nothing but a comedic device meant to humiliate and infuriate.

In which Roy considers the past 15 years and the concept of inevitability.

Summary
Ric’s never seen the guy flirting with Bea before, yet there was something about him that was catching his eye. It wasn’t the too tight pair of jeans and the red muscle shirt combo, hugging both his ass and his muscles–well, not entirely. But, there was something about him, something that made Ric want to keep looking at him.
Or, Ric Grayson meets Roy Harper.

Summary
Dick and Bruce are like this:
Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.Their story has always been radioactive.
A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

Summary
In a universe that falls somewhere in between Teen Titans and Young Justice, Robin was fourteen years old on the day he was killed in action, caught in a clever trap laid by the world’s most dangerous mercenary assassin.
Deathstroke’s Apprentice was fifteen on the day he finally surrendered to the Justice League, with blood on his hands and scars that will never heal.
Dick Grayson is seventeen on the day he chooses to face Slade Wilson again.
Some things you lose and can’t ever find again. Some things you drop and leave behind. Some things you just have to learn how to carry with you.
(They’ll call that the Nightwing Protocol, if he survives.)

Summary
"So are you going to say something, or should I?" Dick says, after a few moments of silence.
There's a short, sharp exhale as all the air leaves Bruce's lungs at once. Bruce would never let himself feel something as dangerous as relief.
