Summary
They're 12 and 13, glaring at each other from behind their mentors (who are also glaring at each other). Roy is loud and brash. His words needle under Dick's skin with the same inhuman precision as his arrows. Petty and childish complaints fly from Dick’s mouth without a second thought, ruining his unflappable persona. They both huff in relief when the team mission is finally over. Begrudgingly, Dick admits to Bruce over dinner that Speedy's skill with a bow is rivaled only by Green Arrow’s.

Summary
Dick let go. He'd fallen farther before, he was sure, but in the moment, as his grapple gun snagged on one of his gloves and sent him tipping sideways, he couldn't remember when.
OR: Five times in Dick Grayson's life that there was no safety net, and one time that there was.

Summary
Hopelessness does not even begin to describe how Dick is feeling. It’s as if he suddenly found himself in a pitch-black maze and could only guide himself by running his hands along the cold, gritty stone walls. He could not tell up from down, left from right. Was he going left? Down? Was he going at all, or did he remain where he started? How much time has passed? Did time even exist? Did the maze exist?
Did he exist?

Summary
It was what he believed to be his final moments, his heart was racing with adrenaline and more, and there was not much to do in this situation other than to get M'gann and J'onn out of the ship. "Six seconds remaining," Robin said shakily, his anxieties about death finally getting to him, "Let's make `em count."
That's when everything's changed, that's when Dick Grayson knew, he wanted to die next to Wally West. Though, he knew that Wally probably didn't want to die next to him.

Summary
In some worlds Dick Grayson gets together with a Barabra Gordon, or Koriand'r. In very few he will get with Roy Harper, Wally West, Donna Troy, Garth, or Connor Kent. But in this one, the one I will tell you about today. Koriand’r and Wally West are who he falls for.
He falls for the red hair and green eyes. He falls for the electric fierceness of their tempers and the protectiveness for their families. He falls for the duty of peace and the duty of survival. He falls for the hard and the short. He falls for the ones he can’t have forever. He falls for the ones that have loyalty to their people before anyone else. He falls for the knight and the queen.
(In another life he will fall for the easy. He’ll fall for the first love. He will fall with the normal. But not this one. Not this one. They won’t be the ones that ran away.)

Summary
Slade shushed Grayson. He pulled him up off of his lap and settled the hero’s weight on his chest. He cradled the young man’s head where it rested in the crook of his neck and whispered reassurances into his ear.
“Hush. Hush. I know birdie, I know.”
The mercenary let his lover cry into his shoulder as the man frantically held on.

Summary
Newton’s First Law of physics states that objects in motion will stay in motion, until, or unless compelled to change their state by the action of an external force. Dick had been living his life in motion, dealing with an invasion until Wally’s death crashed into him, sending him scattering. Now, he’s refusing to slow down, figuring that if he can just keep moving, he will never be in one place long enough to screw something up. Far away from people he could hurt, Dick is trying his hardest to let go, but the past is always there. Back home, Artemis Crock and Barbara Gordon have both been running too. Not sleeping, surviving on caffeine, the pair of them are trying everything they can to avoid a breakdown. (Pre-Metus, can be read as a stand alone.)

Summary
Jason hadn’t been at the battle, had been on the other side of the world, and the thought that maybe he’s arrived too late curdles in his stomach. Jason decides to contact B. He’s not radioing B for help, he’s not, he just needs Bruce to know.
Maybe he needs Bruce to feel just as desperate as Jason does right now.
“Nightwing isn’t here. Got any other bright ideas?”
“Hold on.”
Bruce is silent and Jason guesses that he’s pulling up casualty lists and battle reports. Jason tries to stand still and wait, but his skin is buzzing under his armor, little shocks of static, involuntary muscle twitches, and he just has to move. Is this how Dick feels all of the time?
