49Light in the Dark »
During Superman's mission report, a certain little bird decides to make an appearance after a nightmare. "Superman!" he crowed. "Oh my gosh, this is so cool!"

1 When you realize there's (some)one waiting
No longer Officer Grayson, no longer Barbara's boyfriend, no longer Batman… All roles he'd failed to some capacity, that he had been driven from either by his own terrible decisions or by someone who recognized the fact he just couldn't make the cut. He hated himself.

"You okay, Goldie?" "Mmmhmm." "You sure?" "Mmmhmmm." "...So if I turn around right now there won't be tears streaming from your dazzling blue eyes?" "Mmmhmmmm."

29 E for Effort »
For the record, it was all Dick's fault. If Dick hadn't convinced him to go to a stupid Christmas party, Jason would never have left his apartment. If Jason hadn't had to stop for gift wrap, he wouldn't have rode up as two bank robbers turned the corner. If Dick hadn't lived up to his name, Jason wouldn't be bleeding out from a bullet hole in an alley on the other side of nowhere.Batman, T, English, Angst & Family, chapters: 2, words: 5k+, favs: 157, follows: 49, updated: 5/22/2019 published: 12/28/2016, Jason T./Red Hood, Richard G./Nightwing

12 (Can't) Move Forward
Tim takes a really long shower. A certain someone notices. ("Tim…?" the voice called again. "You in here, little bro?" / Yes, Tim thought, a tinge hysterical (movemoveMOVE). Yes…no.

27 Focus on the Fallout »
Why was this so hard? Just walk into the room, talk to Tim, make sure everything's cool... Who was Dick kidding.

10 It's Always Darkest
Directly after the death of the Graysons, Bruce finds himself making the most important decision in his life. ("I'm so sorry, Richard," Bruce murmured. Sorry he couldn't save them.

5 Don't Wake Me
*Spoilers for Detective Comics #940* This. THIS was Tim. Solid, warm, breathing, alive. Not disintegrated on some clocktower's roof. Just a dream. It had only been a dream.

14 (Life) Has Its Moments
And then Jason did something Dick did not expect: Draped himself over Dick's back, wrapping his arms loosely around Dick's shoulders in a…what could only be described as a…a… "What are you doing?"

51 Weighing One's Worth »
There was a beat of tense silence, during which Tim could feel the youngest Wayne's gaze boring into him, taking in the scene before him. He lowered the gun, an admittedly useless gesture: Damian had already seen him. Then, "What are you doing?" (Unofficial sequel to 'Of Milkshakes and Marathons.' Easily stands alone.) **Sequel, "Focus on the Fallout," now UP** —art by silverpeel—Batman, T, English, Angst & Family, chapters: 2, words: 7k+, favs: 300, follows: 115, updated: 5/28/2016 published: 1/15/2016, Timothy D./Red Robin, Damian W./Robin
