Summary
Being Robin feels like flying: steady, wind-whistle certainty that what he and Batman are doing is right. Even with his hands bloody, Dick doesn’t waver. He knows they’re doing good: permanently removing the murderers and criminals from Gotham.
Of course, nobody can fly forever.

Summary
“You saw the body?” Jason asks. It’s a stupid question—of course Tim saw it. Tim was the one who found it, who rolled it into the carpet in the first place. But there’s a second question wrapped up in his strangled tone, which is: Are you okay after seeing the body?
Tim just purses his lips, almost indignant. “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a corpse before, Jason.”
Right, Jason thinks, but it’s the first time the corpse has been your own fucking dad.
-
Tim is desperate to keep his father’s death a secret from Bruce at all costs. Which is how he ends up hiding a body with Jason Todd, of all people.

Summary
By the tender and vicious age of four years old, Jeannemary Chatur had internalized three fundamental facts about her life:
She was destined to ship out with the Cohort and bring glory to the Emperor and her House;
She represented a long line of Cavaliers and was fiercely proud of her name and her role; and
Her necromancer sucked.Technically, he wasn't her necromancer yet. Technically there was a ceremony and an oath and Jeannemary would have to prove herself in order to be sworn in partnership to the then-three-and-a-half year old scion of the Fourth House, but: come on, everyone knew where this was going.
or, How Jeannemary Chatur Learned to Like Her Necromancer.
