I wish I could draw them in...

[envysparkler]

so this.  this would be one of the nightwing longfics.  the long, character-driven fic that I wish I had time to write but alas.

the crux of this fic is when Tim goes to ask Dick to return to save Batman from his grief, Dick agrees.

Nightwing coming back to Gotham.  fighting, every day, to keep Bruce from self-destructing in a manor so full of grief that sometimes he sits in empty rooms and cries.  Dick that can’t visit Jason’s grave, it’s too painful, but sometimes he sleeps on the couch in the library and pretends like his little brother is sitting on the other couch and reading.  and Nightwing also needs to deal with this precocious twelve-year-old who might not be Robin but thinks that it is perfectly reasonable to stalk them around Gotham.

it’s hard.  it’s so, so hard.  Dick losing pieces of himself, bit by bit.  he sees hallucinations of Jason and eventually, the hallucinations are the only things he talks to truthfully.  he has to keep Bruce sane while Bruce keeps lashing out at him.  Alfred’s not getting younger.  Barbara’s furious and upset and grieving what happened to her.  Tim has no parental supervision, what the fuck is going on with this kid, Dick needs to watch out for him too.

it’s slow, but the pressure just keeps piling on.

meanwhile, the people he’s helping start to get better.  Bruce notices their baby stalker, figures out Tim’s situation, and puts in immediate paperwork to get temporary guardianship.  (Dick still hasn’t been adopted.  it’s fine.  he doesn’t care.  he doesn’t.)  Barbara recovers and becomes Oracle, a saving grace to the wider caped community.  (she’s so busy.  Dick just wants a friend to talk to.  please.)  Tim is introduced to the Titans and makes fast friends with them.  (the Titans were Dick’s first but they’re gone, all gone, why does everyone keep leaving him.)

and then there’s a mention of a new crime lord on the scene, Red Hood, who’s looking to shake things up.

things build and build and build, Hood taunting them and Bruce’s suspicions and Tim’s stalking, until it reaches a breaking point.

a warehouse.  Batman and Red Hood and Tim and Dick.  everyone is shouting at each other, yelling at each other, accusations flying, emotional barbs thrown.  Dick trying to keep the peace and failing.

maybe someone snaps something that wounds.  maybe Dick just collapses under his own exhaustion.  either way, he gives up.  he walks away.  he can’t do this anymore.

no one notices him leave.

Dick leaves his suit in the Cave and writes a short note explaining that he’s quitting.

he’s done.

this world--Gotham and Batman and all the heroes and villains--has taken too much from him. he’s barely twenty-one and yet he’s lived lifetimes.  he’s shouldered the weight of the entire world on his shoulders for so long he cannot remember what it feels like to fly without a net.

he returns to the first place he called home.  there’s a Flying Grayson at Haley’s Circus again.

Paper Memories: Chp 2 Snippet

Hua Cheng was quietly contemplating all the ways he could make today a nightmare for their uninvited guests. It was kind of miraculous in a way—the four of them together again after so many centuries. They were the last remaining blood of Xianle, other than a certain green ghost, and yet there was not a hint of brotherly love to be found. Most of them wanted to beat one another to death.  “So, Your Highness, how did you meet Nan Feng and Fu Yao?” Hua Cheng asked, his tone measured, feigning politeness. The two of them flinched at the sudden sound of his voice. “They were the ones I met in the Gambler’s Den the day of my ascension,” His Highness replied. One more reason to just fucking kill them.

Dick, watching over Tim after he got his wisdom teeth pulled: "How ya feeling, Timmy? Need some water or anything?"

Tim, high out of his mind: "Things aren't very Fergalicious right now."

Dick: ....

To The Limit ~ A "Following Team Orders" Sequel

Characters: Johnny Storm x OFC Maya Levinson

Synopsis:

Twenty Four Races 

One Season 

His last chance. 

Johnny Storm has had a good career in Formula One.  The only thing he doesn’t have is a championship.  And it looks like he may never have one. Especially when the perfect storm of events changes his life and Formula One is pushed aside for two years.  

Until a miracle offer comes through.  

Now he has one season to prove himself to be a champion. His focus should be driving the best he can, even with his personal life in the shadows. And especially not on the hottie on  his crew.  She is beautiful, smart, and completely taken.  

He should also remember, she’s the team principal’s sister. But he didn’t earn his nickname, Torch, without burning rubber and pushing to the limit.  

One season,  

Twenty Four Races 

Can he win it all?

"Yes, I am aware he has committed created him and wrote about him committing atrocities, but have you considered that he's my special guy."

[mattiebluebird]

Case fic AU of Duke's training year centered around his identity as Signal (big hero, works for/with Batman, above everyone else) vs. Lark (friendly neighborhood hero, fights for the little guy, does things his own way) told as he & the WAR crew investigate a strange new drug that gives people meta abilities, with several B-plots of the other Robins becoming heroes in their own right. Is that anything.

That last prompt possessed me:

"Playing?" Susurrus hissed, his voice filled with venom and grief. "Relieved? How dare you. How—" he reached out, grabbed the Tanta by her bejeweled throat, and with all his might slammed her into the wall. Decorated nails scrabbled against his arm, desperate and clawing in the face of his rage "—dare you! I did love her! Of course I loved her! I would raze this whole world to bedrock on the barest chance it could bring her back! How dare you insinuate otherwise!" Susurrus threw the Tanta to the ground, heard the sickening crunch as the bones in her arm snapped from the impact. The Tanta cried out as much in pain as in fear, scrambled across the floor away from him as fast as she could. Susurrus did not follow. "You weren't made to love," the Tanta spat. "You're not capable of it." "I was not made for mercy, either. It's only to honor her that I grant it to you now."
