Summary
now, though? he knows now what it is to put on a show. how it feels to bury your heart under somebody else’s laughter and pray you’re good enough to earn it again. he thinks maybe he ought to go and apologise to the tree, rotting somewhere in a forest untouched by human hand, for ever undermining its silent suffering. but he can’t do that, because he’s a person and it’s hypothetical foliage, so he’ll just have to settle for contemplating the alternative question: if james is suffering and no one is around to notice, does it matter how he feels?
--
or, james is alone on the astronomy tower. it's halloween.

Summary
“Master Dick,” he said quietly. His usual warmth was muted. “I wish the circumstances of your return were different…” He trailed off, resting a hand on my shoulder.
He tried to smile.
“Welcome home.”
He failed.
“Alfred,” I said. “What’s going on?”
His grip on my shoulder tightened. “Master Bruce will brief you inside.”

Summary
"Jeez, you're morbid." When the kid just bared his teeth in what could be generously described as a grin, if one were to squint and generally have the vision quality of a mole, Jason turned back to the rapidly paling Tim. "You want to sweep the place for signs of Nightwing while I wrap things up with junior over here?"
"Junior," the kid scoffed, which was real fucking rich for someone who was an inch or two from being strictly categorized as fun-sized. "Fuck off."
"Hey, watch your mouth. Kids who don't know times tables aren't allowed to swear."
"I can multiply just fine, jackass."
"Hood," Tim cut in, voice squeaky like it'd been squeezed-compressed-squashed ten times over. "I don't need to keep looking for Dick. He's right there."
or, who would've thought that a de-aged Dick would be really angry, really annoying, and really attached to Jason?
(Bruce. Bruce would've thought. This might be his worst nightmare, actually.)

Summary
Dick Grayson, the emotional glue of the batfamily, sacrifices himself to save his brothers from a vengeful sorcerer...except he doesn’t die. Instead, the sorcerer wipes all traces and memories of Dick Grayson/Nightwing’s existence from the universe.
What's a touch-starved older brother to do but exhaust all options to return home and get kidnapped by an owl-themed cult?
Also, how will the batfamily react to the spell being broken and realizing that their golden boy is missing?
