Summary
The League of Assassins descends on Gotham to claim its newest anomaly: the masked man called Batman. But the city doesn’t play fair. Informants go silent, agents are repelled, and every answer is twisted into a joke. Behind it all stands a boy with a smirk and a plan. This isn’t Batman’s fight. It’s Robin’s playground, and the Rogues are loyal.
Or Robin trolls the League of Assassins.

Summary
It was all Dick's fault. His fault. Not Jason's. Not Bruce's. His. He was too weak and too distracted and too stupid. Careless. All he wanted was to meet Jason's mother alone, to judge her character. He didn't expect this to happen.
Lying against the cold floor of the warehouse he thought he didn't deserve to be Nightwing. This was not what uncle Clark’s hero was. He certainly was no failure.
(Or: In Ethiopia, Dick gets Jason’s permission to meet Sheila alone. It obviously goes terribly wrong.)

Summary
Jason came back from the dead, and now he’s a walking paranormal event. Cold aura, glitchy tech, spooky room, occasional object levitation—it’s a whole thing. The family’s mildly alarmed but mostly just roasting him for being the undead roommate from hell.
Everyone except Dick.
Dick’s just thrilled Jason’s alive again. Glowing eyes? Relatable. Breathing optional? Same. Haunted bedroom? Bit dramatic, but okay. Dick doesn’t see the problem, which is confusing, because everyone else is one ghost-hiccup away from calling Constantine.
To be fair, Dick is a god in a human body—he just doesn’t talk about it. Mostly because he forgot, kind of on purpose. Besides, he’s busy showing Jason TikToks and ignoring the nausea-inducing ghost energy leaking from the walls.
Everything’s fine.
Probably.

Summary
“I could have taken care of them alone,” says the guy he just saved, finally coming out in the light to watch the last of the gang scramble away as fast as he could. “But thanks.”
Jason turns, a quip ready on his lips, but his breath gets taken away by the unexpected sigh.
Because, right here in front of him and none the wiser, is Dick Grayson himself — Nightwing, leader of the Titans, former Robin, favored son of Batman.
His big brother.
OR: Red Hood saves Dick Grayson from a mugging. Everything spirals out of his control, then. -

Summary
Jason knows the messages won't go through when he snatches a burner phone off an assassin. That's part of the appeal. And even if they had gone through, Dick didn't really care...
or did he?
OR
Jason tells Dick how angry he is when he comes back from the dead in a series of text messages that were never meant to be seen. Only they were and Dick decides he needs to find his baby brother.

Summary
Dick is a good guy. He is. He knows that. Just like he knows that bribing your wayward, animal-loving, emotionally-traumatized brother to come see you with a puppy is exactly what all good guys do. That was a fact.

Summary
Dick Grayson sees a random kid perform the Flying Grayson's quadruple somersault at a third rate circus. So obviously, he does the sensible thing: joins a suspicious circus under his legal name while his family watches in morbid curiosity and horror.
Because subtlety is for people who didn’t grow up performing death-defying acts thirty feet in the air.
Years of crime-fighting prepared him for anything—except maybe sudden, accidental fatherhood. That’s a whole new kind of high-wire act.
