Summary
“What? No, not Tim. It’s Jaylad.”
Dick froze for a second time. “What?” He choked out, turning to look at the phone slowly, as if the screen would have all the answers. Or disappear right in front of his eyes. Or maybe some dimensional nymph would pop out and start laughing at him- it wouldn’t be the first time.
“He’s here! He says you still owe him a backflip lesson.” There was so much happiness and relief in Bruce’s voice that Dick nearly choked on it.
Because Jason Todd was dead.

Summary
This is a rewrite of my fic under the same name! I knew I could do a lot better with the story than I did, but I don't want to take the other one down, at least until I finish this one.

Dick doesn't know how people typically grieve their best friends, but seeing them in your living room is probably not normal.Series

Haven't I Given Enough? by Valpalmalec

Summary
There was only one thing Scarecrow wanted to inflict. Fear.
In his head, Dick was grateful he was the one in the hot seat. He always had a harder time watching his loved ones be in pain than taking the pain himself. That face was one of the leading reasons behind almost everything he does. Furthermore, he and Bruce have been testing his level of resistance to Scarecrow's fear gas, and compared to the others- even Bruce- he was the best option for this. Right?
. .
OR: Scarecrow makes a fear toxin specifically for Nightwing, who seems to be immune to his normal batch. And maybe Dick could handle a newer version of the gas... if there wasn't also a device attached to his head that analyzed his thoughts to make him face his greatest fears...
What's worse is that his family, who have basically shut him out since his return from Spyral- from the dead- is there to witness his fall.

Summary
Dick Grayson is sure he is going crazy. Sure, everyone grieves in their own way, but he is pretty sure randomly seeing your dead best friend is not proof of his sanity. That and not to mention the awful ringing in his ears that usually accompanied these sightings.
Dick has decided that he doesn't need to bother any of his grieving friends about this unless it becomes a bigger problem, especially Artemis. So, Dick does what he always does: he puts on a smile and tries to seem as okay as possible.
The problem is that the episodes are only getting worse, and it has started affecting his ability to handle everyday life.

Summary
Dick is overwhelmed for a moment, filled with clarity and inexplicable confusion as he blinks around him bleary-eyed. There's the familiar itching covering his skin, tiny grains of dark sand invading the cuts that have torn through his suit from the crash.
He coughs, throat dry and closing with every gasp of harsh air. The desert is as unforgivable as the last time he was here, an empty expanse of dunes that might just be a trick of the heavy sun against the back of his neck. Dick pushes the panic away behind his eyelids, savoring the darkness before opening his eyes again.
Immediately, he sees Tim.
Unconscious, hunched over, covered in blood and sand Tim.
(Dick and Tim get stranded in the desert, Dick is always moving forward.)

Summary
“Ah shit,” Stephanie's unmistakable voice, the same stunted line, the same disappointed tone, “He's breathing again.”
The Joker coughs. It rattles at his broken ribs, making him choke on the blood and sick in his mouth, but it's proof of his victory — so the cough morphs into a sickening laugh. He says something that's more of a grumble than words, but Helena clicks her teeth loudly.
“We should have let him die,” She says stiffly.
Bruce closes his eyes for a moment, disappointment found in the creased stress of his face, then, relief.
Despite Dick's best efforts, Joker is alive. Again.
(Dick kills the Joker. Then again. And again. And—)

Summary
In a universe that falls somewhere in between Teen Titans and Young Justice, Robin was fourteen years old on the day he was killed in action, caught in a clever trap laid by the world’s most dangerous mercenary assassin.
Deathstroke’s Apprentice was fifteen on the day he finally surrendered to the Justice League, with blood on his hands and scars that will never heal.
Dick Grayson is seventeen on the day he chooses to face Slade Wilson again.
Some things you lose and can’t ever find again. Some things you drop and leave behind. Some things you just have to learn how to carry with you.
(They’ll call that the Nightwing Protocol, if he survives.)
