Summary
“I trained you to live.”
Those words echoed in his head like a ghost. Dick had to go to Spyral—forced—before he’d even begun to understand what had happened to him. Yet when he gets back he notices their hypnos commands never really left his head.
Now, with Bruce ignoring him entirely and the silent judgment—or outright hatred—of his entire family pressing down, Dick felt the last threads of restraint fray. He was teetering on the edge of losing it entirely. -

Summary
Dick turned around, staring at the man. He scoffed and shook his head. “I don’t know. I guess you're right.”
It was strange, being at this end of the conversation. Normally, it’s Nightwing talking down people from suicide, not the other way around.
“I suppose it would’ve been better if I’d never been born at all.” Dick coughed, still shivering from the cold.
- OR -
An "It's a Wonderful Life" inspired AU where things weren't all fine and dandy post-Spyral. Dick Grayson is spyralling (ha.) and he won't let anybody in to help him. On Christmas Eve, he's about to make an irreversible choice (nevermind, its DC, probably not irreversible) when he stops to save a man.
Who claims to be his guardian angel.

Summary
After Robin got kidnapped, ages ago, for the ploy of a love sick Talia, for proposing to Bruce in their twisted way, she'd come to Dick, desperate, alone, pretending to be broken.
Dick, just fired as Robin, with a replacement lined up, doesn't believe one word she says, until she starts being honest. Until he sees a way to handle his hurt feelings.
Three years later, she's back. Not broken, not quite as desperate, and yet honest, again. Honest how she's afraid of her position as heir to the League, with an actual male heir around. Honest about her wish to get rid of said heir.
Dick has no choice, not really. He has to take Damian in. It's his son, after all.Fic is fully written and will be uploaded chapter by chapter. Upload every Wednesday and Sunday. Which means this will be done... December 31st, if I do daily uploads in the Christmas weeks. It'll allow you to read the last chapter, which is set shortly after midnight, on New Year's Day, after midnight ;)

Summary
Exactly as the title says. Some things stay the same, alot changes. In the end it turns out okay, probably. Don't ask me.
While this does focus mostly on Tim, it does explore other characters too
(Yes they are all OOC, I like them like that)(The original charecter tag is mostly if not fully for the cats Selina and Tim own)

Summary
i was writing this huge story about a breakdown about dick grayson, and then absolutely lost my shit, huge mental breakdown and wrote his huge breakdown scene with no context so let me provide -- if you want lemme know i may post actual full story but for now this is all i can stomach LOLLOL -- a lot of what he talks about is stuff that directly comes from my personal experiences so i do apologise, in saying that I have little to no experience with being comforted in the moment, hence why bruce doesn't do a whole lot at the end lols
anyway og story is that this man watches a girl end her life without savign her and catches himself too late, meanign hes cooped up in the manor for a long time in recovery and he goes a little insane, this is meant to be the end of that breakdown.

Summary
It wasn’t so bad back then. It wasn’t an addiction, not yet. It was manageable. He had it under control. But the lines were still there. The uneven skin. When Jason arrived and started making it a habit to run away to Dick’s apartment, that’s when the lying started. Jason would ask about the scars, the bandages that Dick was too tired and out of it to remember to hide, and Dick would lie. He would tell his brother that it was nothing but remnants of fights. Jason was young but he wasn’t stupid. Dick knew he would figure it out if he saw what was under the bandages, if it became too frequent, if they were there all the time.
