Summary
Five times Dick Grayson stepped up in a situation that did not feel safe for his brothers, and the one time they noticed.
OR: All Dick's siblings know he is a mother-hen, but these protective tendencies tend to escalate at galas or balls. They assume it's because they cannot fight without their costumes, but they are wrong.

Summary
As he studied the bedroom, Jason began to piece together what he'd found. It wasn't exactly common knowledge as to where the Black Mask hung his hat. Setting up his living quarters right above his most secure base of operates was actually a really smart idea. Covering up its existence, however gruesomely, actually impressed Jason beyond what he thought the man was capable of —
Jason froze. He blinked hard, sure that he wasn't seeing what he thought he was seeing, because there really was no way. He must have slipped on Sionis's blood at some point, cracked his skull against a mahogany nightstand, that sort of thing. Crane had dosed him with one of his toxins, surely. Or maybe this was all some messed up nightmare that Jason needed to wake up from.
Because there was no way in hell that Dick was actually cuffed beneath the Black Mask's desk in nothing but a loose pair of sweatpants and a mask, stone-faced and corpselike.
or, Jason finds Dick tied up in the Black Mask's bedroom, dissociated and nonverbal. Jason's never been a great brother, but he can hold Dick together until he's ready to come back to reality.

Summary
“It’s always about El, isn’t it?” Will mumbled, sadly gazing at him.
“Well-- it’s just this time of year, I guess. It’s been a little over three years since I lost her.”
Will gritted his teeth. “Since you lost her? You aren’t the only one that misses her, you know.”
Mike stumbled a little, his eyes wide. “I-- I know we all miss her, Will. I just--”
“Just what, Mike?” Will couldn’t stop the rage bubbling at his surface, his arms tightly crossed over his chest. “You think because she was your girlfriend means more than the fact that she’s my sister? That she isn’t our parents’ daughter?”
“That’s not fair,” he said weakly.
OR: post S5 byler because I can.
OR: 3 years after Vecna is defeated, Will and Mike find each other again (They never really lost each other in the first place).Bookmarked by Ness_Smith

Summary
I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
.Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.
Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.
It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.
But now?
Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.
It was driving Will crazy.

Summary
Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
“Take me.”
Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
“Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
“Deal.”---
Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.- Language:
