    Summary

    Cass's best friend is gone. There's no one to help her figure out what real girls are supposed to act like, no more laughter to drown out the whispers in her head that tell her she'll never be anything more than a weapon.

    Dick has lost everything that mattered to him, and worse—he's crossed the one line Bruce drilled into him from childhood. He's not even sure who he's supposed to be anymore. He's not Batman's partner—hasn't been for years. He's not a Titan either. He's just... Dick Grayson, and he's starting to think that might not be enough.

     

    OR

     

    Cass moves to Blüdhaven to escape Steph's ghost and somehow adopts a depressed acrobat. Dick's life just fell apart but he's still out here teaching basic life skills and that your entire personality can't just be "fights crime." Unsurprisingly, this doesn't stop either of them from being absolute disasters.

    Summary

    „You cut yourself while shaving.“

    „What?“

    „On your face. A cut.“

    „Ah.“

    „You never do that. You ´re always extra careful.“

    „Yeah, it was an accident.“

    „… And your shoulder is still bleeding. It´s a deep wound. One you presumably didn ´t stitch or stripe. Which means it happened on a solo mission or patrol.“

    „…“

    „But… That´s not true either, right?“

    or

    Dick Grayson suffers from depression, that is no secret to the people around him, but when a particularly bad episode gets triggered, he thinks that this may just be his end. Two visitors, one more common than the other, try to convince him otherwise.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson never expected it to get this bad- and then it did. But he's fine, right up until he isn't. Sitting on the edge of a bridge, he starts to wonder what it would be like if he just let go- there wouldn't be any more sleepless nights, he wouldn't have to feel phantom hands running across his body, wouldn't have to live with the knowledge that he was broken.

    He was starting to scare himself- he wasn't sure if he wanted to die. He pulled out his phone, hand hovering over his contacts before clicking on one labelled as Little Wing. He called, and then he called again, and again. Feeling tears run down his face, he left a voicemail, taking a deep breath. This was it.

    Summary

    Dick thinks maybe his life is over. Hey, he caught the bad guy and saved the day, didn’t he? Well, no, he didn’t. The vigilante he’d been mentoring killed the bad guy. And the day blew up. But it probably could’ve been worse. Point is, all his cases are closed, and he doesn’t have a job because it blew up and he doesn’t have a home because it blew up and he doesn’t have a brother because he blew up. No, that happened before. Jason’s back now. Right.

    Bruce told him to take a break. So maybe that’s what he’s doing. He’s taking a break. He’s blinking, long and slow.

    Summary

    Dick felt he was reasonably annoyed with Babs and openly dissatisfied with the new Batgirl.

    Steph, of course, wrote everything and wanted to see if he'd decide on her face again... he did, and at the same time, he didn't.

    The writer saw a panel from Batgirl Vol. 3 #5 and came up with the story.

    Summary

    Insomnia goes after Dick again. This time, he decides to attack with even more of his worst fears. How is Dick supposed to deal with this alone? (spoiler alert: does he?)

    or

    "Maybe Dick deserved it. Maybe that was his punishment for not saving him. His punishment for not saving everyone that died because he was too late.

    Even if he did deserve it, that didn't mean he enjoyed it."

    Summary

    Dick didn’t have a problem; he was fine.
    He wasn’t hiding an injury, he wasn’t faking his death again, he was completely and utterly fine... not that they would have cared if he wasn’t.

    Summary

    It’s not easy to watch as Dick attempts to recollect himself to something presentable, like it could at all wash away what Jason has accidentally run in on. He rubs at his sweaty forehead, pinches at his watery eyes, runs a hand through his hair. A shiver runs down the entirety of his frame. A shaky inhale, then Dick blinks up at him with ruddy cheeks. “Oh,” he croaks. “Jason.”

    Summary

    “This definitely isn’t my universe,” Jason said blankly.

    “What the fuck?” Alternate-Jason asked, his crassness clashing with his neat business attire.

    “Language, Jason,” Martha Wayne chided with a fond smile.

    “Sorry, ma’am.”

     

    Or… Jason Todd discovers that he can travel through the multiverse (on top of his usual weirdness, ie, immortality) and chaos ensues.

    Summary

    Dick’s stomach dropped. His fingers went cold.

    The fifth message was broken. Static, then something sharp.

     

    “Dick. There’s something—someone—Joker. I think it’s Joker. I— I can’t—legs—fuck—”

     

    Click.

     

    His lungs froze. His mouth parted but no breath came.

    He didn’t want to hit play on the sixth.

    But his hand moved anyway.

    A cough. Wet. A harsh, rattling breath.

    Then the sickening clang of metal on something soft. Flesh? Bone?

    Jason gasping.

     

    “Tell B—I didn’t— Dick I—”

     

    Click.

    Or, What's going on with Dick during the events of "Where the Birds Used to Sing" starting from the end of chapter two.

    Summary

    Leidenfreude
    Lahyd-n-froi-duh . Noun . German
    -
    A sense of paradoxical relief when something bad happens to you, which temporarily lowers your own expectations for yourself, transforming a faceless protagonist into something of an underdog, who’s that much easier to root for.
    /
    A feeling of relief when something bad happens to you. Believing it is due karma for you being a bad person. Confirming the thoughts that you are not good or deserving of good.

    Aka

    Blockbuster is lowkey ruining his life, and Dick chooses to be an idiot when going about it. Nothing out of the norm, really

    Now add in the batfamily because goddamn do I refuse to believe they didn't find out about the whole Blockbuster situation until- never.
    Anyway, since I literally refuse to make a fanfic without Duke most times… pretend… pretend this takes place way later on, pretty please…? Thank you. I'm also adding Carrie and Mia, because FUCK canon. Carrie Kelley and Mia Mizoguchi my SHAYLAS.

    Or

    I want Catalina Flores dead in a ditch and I'm using fanfiction to express that.

    Summary

    His hands shook - when had they begun shaking? - as he peeled the fabric off his hands. They were stained red. In some places it had begun to dry; crusting his joints. Most of it was still coagulating, thick, dark red drops dripping on the white porcelain of the sink and the square tiles below. The still-running water swirled the drops into streaks, before carrying them to the sewer.

     

    Or: Nightwing kills the Joker.

    Summary

    CW for mentions of past canonical rape + sexual assault (Catalina Flores a.k.a Tarantula)

    ...

    Dick slips into a dissociative state after it rains, and Bruce and the batfamily try to give him a bit of support.

    ...

    'And he didn’t want to think about it today. It was inevitable, something he knew he was going to mull over the moment the first drop hit his head. That sticky sort of rain was worse than the cold, penetrating downpour that had him pinned to that roof all that time ago.'

    Summary

    Dick Grayson wasn’t meant to be the last one left. He wasn’t meant to stand in the ashes of a world that had been picked clean, with nothing but ghosts and regrets to keep him company. But he fought until there was nothing left to fight for—until even Gotham’s ruins turned silent.

    Then, when all hope was gone, a desperate sorcerer offered him the impossible: a second chance. A way back. A chance to rewrite the past before The Light won, before his family fell, before his world crumbled to dust.

    Now, he wakes up in his thirteen-year-old body, the weight of an entire lost future pressing down on his shoulders. The halls of Mount Justice are untouched, filled with laughter and life—but all he can see are the names that will one day be carved into headstones. Every choice is a loaded gun. Every secret is a ticking clock. And the people he loves most? They have no idea what’s coming for them.

    He won’t let it happen again.

    No matter what it takes.

    Summary

    Something was wrong with Dick, something so troubling that it affected him as Nightwing. And Victor was determined to find out what it was.

    Dick was the bravest person he knew. He stared danger in the face every night and laughed, so why had he hesitated? Why had he flinched at her touch?

    aka

    Victor notices Dick’s downward spiral after his breakup with Barbara. Worried about his well-being, he encourages Dick to join him for a boys' night out.

    As the night unfolds, they unintentionally delve into the past and uncover a long-buried secret—one that Dick had kept hidden for years.
