Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Summary
Blüdhaven is gone.
And so is the man Dick used to be. The Court of Owls found him in the wreckage and turned what was left into a weapon. Even after the Court fell, their claws stayed buried deep. Dick wears the right masks—Nightwing, dutiful son, loyal soldier—but underneath, he’s something else.
He swore he could keep the two lives separate. He almost believed it. Until he found Wally West—lost in Gotham, hurting, stubborn, good. Until Wally looked at him—not as Dick, not as Nightwing—but as something new. Something dangerous. And smiled anyway.
Wally doesn’t recognize him. He doesn’t know that the hands he trusts, the mouth he kisses, the shadows he falls into—all belong to someone who already betrayed him.
Dick tells himself he should let him go. That Wally deserves better. That loving him like this—lying to him like this—is a cruelty even the Court would envy.
But Dick is too far gone. Too broken to stop.
He can’t have Wally as the man he was.
But maybe, in the dark, behind a different mask, he can still hold onto him.
Even if it means becoming the thing he swore he’d never be.

Summary
The bedroom was startlingly aligned with his memories that just standing in its center weakened his knees & overstimulated his mind. ‘It’s all here.’ He thought, shaking his hands out to expel the chills whistling through his bones. Copying down his homework with only one eye open and falling asleep against Bernard’s desk (wooden and very uncomfortable) only to dream of Gotham City from the ‘Bat-Signal’s point of view. Memories he treasured & ones he subconsciously constructed flooded over him as he fidgeted with a Mothman figurine.

“Then why do you keep trying to change me?” Jason asks.
