    Summary

    “Your butchery of the English language astounds me.” Damian says, sliding into the seat.

    “Second language.” Dick replies. “Can’t be blamed for my mistakes.”

    Damian sniffs pretentiously as Dick starts up the car and gets them on the road, the reprimand already on his tongue. “Don’t be foolish, Richard, you have mastered a number of languages and are perfectly capable of speaking them as they were intended to be spoken, as I do. Making excuses as such is undignified.”

    Dick hums, amused. “I think there was actually a compliment in there. You’re getting soft, baby bat.”

    Damian’s scandalized face is exactly as Dick pictured it. “I am not!”
    …

    Bruce died. Bruce came back to life. The months between those moments don’t stop meaning something even if it would be easier if they did.

    It’s up to Dick to reassemble his life and find a way to be a brother to the boy he considers his kid. It shouldn’t be a problem (except that it is) and where the hell is his sweater??

    Summary

    "Jeez, you're morbid." When the kid just bared his teeth in what could be generously described as a grin, if one were to squint and generally have the vision quality of a mole, Jason turned back to the rapidly paling Tim. "You want to sweep the place for signs of Nightwing while I wrap things up with junior over here?"

    "Junior," the kid scoffed, which was real fucking rich for someone who was an inch or two from being strictly categorized as fun-sized. "Fuck off."

    "Hey, watch your mouth. Kids who don't know times tables aren't allowed to swear."

    "I can multiply just fine, jackass."

    "Hood," Tim cut in, voice squeaky like it'd been squeezed-compressed-squashed ten times over. "I don't need to keep looking for Dick. He's right there."

    or, who would've thought that a de-aged Dick would be really angry, really annoying, and really attached to Jason?

    (Bruce. Bruce would've thought. This might be his worst nightmare, actually.)

    Summary

    When an alien spaceship appears over the skies of Gotham and all screens in the area flash with an ominous message, it seems the only way to start a conversation with the invaders is to bring them Robin.

    The only problem is figuring out which one.

    Summary

    Jason stared down at his older brother, watching the blank, unnatural stillness of his face. It was strange to see him that way, when Dick was usually an unstoppable force of motion, of freedom, of light. “I’m sorry,” he breathed, leaning down to place his forehead against Dick’s. He moved his fingers to Dick’s throat, feeling the weak flutter of his pulse. “I’m so sorry, Dick.”

    After weeks of trying to hold the frayed edges of his brother together, Jason finally felt Dick slip through his fingers - and he knows that he'll never forgive himself for that. Now that Dick is taking the first tentative steps towards recovery, Jason is adamant that he won't make the same mistakes again. He's going to be a good brother, even if it kills him.

    Summary

    “Dick,” the therapist said seriously. “Why are you here?”

    Dick floundered, searching for words that wouldn’t come. “I…” He thought of Catalina’s hands washing soap from his body, massaging his back, feeding him sweet strawberries one by one. “I… I had a girlfriend.”

    It doesn’t matter if Dick always feels Catalina's hand on the back of his neck, or her breath ghosting against his lips. He needs Nightwing. He needs to do good. How else will he counterbalance the sin weighing on his soul? So he’ll lie to his brothers, to Bruce, to Alfred. He’ll even lie to his reflection in the mirror. Because he knows that he'll be alright eventually. He'll be fine.

    He'll be totally okay.
