Summary
If Joey closes her eyes, this can feel like any normal day. If she opens them again, the gaping hole in the TV and the jagged edges of the remaining glass scream at her that something is very wrong.
🍃
Or: Twenty-nine hours ago, Dick said he had to go back to Gotham for a few days to tie up some loose ends, meet up with his foster siblings, stuff like that. Now, his face is on TV and he’s apparently Nightwing.

Summary
»What would be a good feminine for thief?« Dick asks Barb, staring at the silver clasp behind the security glass in hopes of making his question sound casual. It’s totally not as if he has spent frankly embarrassing amounts of time thinking about this.
◌
Dick and Barb steal a silver clasp from a museum, discuss language(s), and write a note about the lack of security.

Your daughter is born and you are overjoyed. You’re doomed, but you don’t know that yet.
◊
You’re Marcus, you’re Tullius, you’re Cicero – a man of words until the end. (It shouldn’t have come as a surprise that you had to write your own consolatio.)

Summary
Apparently, planetrees are good for Chicago. If Nightwing had been able to stay, he might have been good for Chicago, too. At least, that’s what his former roommates (like to) think.

Summary
Essentially, Jason Todd never says anything at all about the time Dick Grayson died and came back. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t know anything.
It also doesn’t mean that the truth won’t come out, one way or another.

Summary
Bruce had been in his office earlier this morning when it sounded like every fire truck in the city was wailing down the streets. He’d asked his PA to find out what was going on and she’d reported back that a semi had drifted across lanes on the Gotham Bridge, flipped, and careened into oncoming traffic, causing a massive pile-up in both directions. He’d turned on the television at one point to see the helicopter footage; it was a mess with possibly over 100 vehicles involved. There were already several known deaths and dozens of injured motorists.
An hour later, his phone rang and his heart staccatoed in his chest when he saw the caller ID. “This is Bruce Wayne,” he said, barely keeping his voice even.
A woman on the other end of the line said, “Mr. Wayne, this is Gotham General Hospital."

Summary
Damian is called to help save Richard, the youngest member of Damian's estranged Father's brood, from a magic curse that has left him in a coma-like trance after the events of a major Titans tragedy. Which would be all well and good if it weren't for the fact that Damian didn't know anyone except for Jason until three years ago.
Will Damian be able to complete his mission? Will he withstand the weight of his new "family's" expectations of him? Or will he crumble, as someone who has never known this kind of connection before?~

Summary
No one knows who the mysterious Nightwing is. All anyone can tell is that he showed up three years ago and has a penchant for saving the Bats' lives every now and then, seemingly out of the goodness of his own heart. But when has this ever been enough to satisfy the Batman's need to understand and plan for every single thing? Hint: Never. But what will the Bat do once he figures out Nightwing's true identity and how deeply their lives have been entwined this whole time?

Summary
“You hate us for making you better,” Dick continues against his will. He doesn’t want to be saying this, but really, how dare Bruce be so surprised to hear it? He should understand better than any of them how defective his relationship skills are. He has no right to pretend it isn’t true now that they can all hear it aloud. “But you hate yourself more for making us worse, which is—it’s fucked up, but we’re all fucked up, and it’s—it’s only partially your fault. You secretly wish you’d never met any of us, and you’d be right about it because now we hate ourselves, too.”
How can Bruce have the audacity to look heartbroken when he already knew all of this? Why is he pretending? Why does he keep lying?
(Dick is dosed with truth serum, and the effects will take at least a day to wear off. During that time, Dick is forced to reveal and confront truths about himself that he never wanted to acknowledge. )

Summary
That's the thing. Dick looked right at the kid, broken hand and all, and nearly let him in. He nearly let him train.
Because after all these years, he didn't process anything wrong with the image before him.
(Dick, Bruce, and the implications of raising a partner instead of a child.)
