Summary
The bathroom door catches, stopping abruptly. When another light push doesn’t budge it open much further, Jason flicks on the light before peeking his head in. Then he stills.
Catherine’s slack limbs sprawl across a dingy bathroom floor, long hair splayed on the yellowed and cracked tiles. Her face imitates a ghostly paleness, lax with dried vomit and stray strands of hair stuck to her lips.
He blinks.
It’s Dick.
───
It's raining. Dick hasn't washed his hair in days. Enter: Jason.

Summary
After a late night visit leaves Jason and Dick reeling from revelations and confrontations of the past, they find themselves establishing a closer brotherhood than they ever had before and overcoming traumas neither have tried to acknowledge for years. This is a series of brotherly bonding, building a safe haven with the people you love, and healing old wounds. Sometimes, that healing comes in the form of tear-filled breakfasts, secret codes, and enough unhinged energy to power a city. Oh, maybe a new, but not so new, little brother sticking around also helps.

Summary
“Stay on the line,” Bruce says, like it’s easy. “Tell me.”
Dick looks at the phone and he can’t get the word out. Words like, Hey. Um. I'm a little scared. I can't stop, and there’s this sick-feeling here, basking against all my organs that will never be small enough. It’s in every thought, every mouthful.
Or instead, he says, “I can't eat.”

Summary
“‘s the drugs. I did drugs,” Dick slurs, and then collapses to the ground.
Jason pulls up the collar of Dick’s uniform, exposing the familiar skin Jason can’t ever seem to run far enough from. Track marks, a blown vein, ecchymosis. Needles.
And just like that, everything comes back to a bathroom in Crime Alley. Jason has been here before, and he doesn’t ever want to do this again. He knows what this is. He fucking knows.
or Robin!Jason rescues Nightwing after Blockbuster’s murder, crashes the getaway car, and then has to keep them both alive as Dick overdoses on whatever-the-fuck those bad guys gave him. Given Jason’s history with drugs (and with Dick revealing things he wouldn’t willingly reveal about the Blockbuster incident), things go to shit pretty quickly.
