    Summary

    (What the title says)

    Bruce Wayne knows how to be Brucie as easily as breathing, and flirting with the hot reporter goes right with that. Clark's much too cute when he blushes for his own good, and of course, he's so shy, he'd never flirt back...right?

    Summary

    Clark spread his arms and turned in a circle, so Bruce could see the entire ensemble. It was a disaster. The chestplate was flimsy, the ears towered high above Clark’s head, he’d kept his glasses on under the cowl, which pushed it out away from his face, and the cape (and Bruce could only call it that if he was being extremely generous) was designed to look like actual bat wings, with thin digits spreading out to connect the material to Clark’s arms. “You mean you don't like it?” He asked, as he completed his spin.

    [Or: Bruce and Clark go to a costume party. As each other. And then, well... it was about time to take their relationship public anyway.]

    Summary

    “Just go easy on him, please,” had been the heart of his request. “He's not used to this type of thing.”

    “What type of thing's that, son? Meeting the parents?” Jonathan had asked, with a wry chuckle. They'd met Bruce before, of course, although the wide majority of those occasions had actually been as Batman. This would be their first time seeing him, though, since he and Clark had started dating, and certainly his reputation in his personal life preceded him, even if they knew better than to believe all the things the tabloids wrote about him.

    But Clark's expression had turned soft, and a little pained. “Uh,” he'd said, rubbing his neck. “Parents in general, I think.”

    Or: Martha and Bruce talk on the porch. About Clark, and love, and what it means to take chances for the person you love.

    Summary

    Bruce had a plan for this. A good one, even. One he’d thought out, planning for every contingency - except this one. Except for Clark himself. It hit him all at once, a wave of certainty so strong it was irresistible.

    He wasn’t going to stick to the plan.

    Or: Clark orchestrates a surprise for Bruce at a gala, and then gets a surprise of his own later on in the form of a marriage proposal.

    Summary

    It looks like Bruce is sound asleep, but it seems like his fiancé is full of surprises tonight. Bruce's hand pulls away from where they were clasped, instead reaching for Clark's cheek, stroking his cheekbone.

    With a hazy drawl, Bruce whispers into the dead of the night. "It's not small. It's everything. You're everything."

    5 times Clark cries during their relationship & the 1 time that Bruce does.

    Summary

    “I wanted you to have a good Christmas,” Damian said quietly.

    “I am having a good Christmas,” Richard said, sounding a little confused.

    “No, I wanted you to have a perfect Christmas,” Damian said, clenching the wool of Richard’s Christmas sweater tightly in his hands. “Something good enough to erase the pain of the past year. Something to make you happy."

    It wasn't the old Dick Grayson that had shown up to Christmas Eve at the manor. This new man was a little too sad, a little too thin and a little too fearful. His family were trying their best to politely turn a blind eye to the frayed edges that had appeared, but it was difficult to ignore the fact that the brightest star on their tree had suddenly dimmed.

    --

    The tale of a Christmas Eve woven into five vignettes from those who love Dick Grayson dearly.

    Summary

    Yes, Damian's family were idiots. Anyone worth their salt knew that Richard was an excellent liar and an incorrigible conman. They would also know that you didn’t just ask Richard if he was okay. The emotionally stunted imbecile would never tell the truth.

    When a storm blows in on Christmas Eve, Damian is the only one to see the tightness in Dick's smile. As the family grows merrier on Christmas cheer (and Alfred's lethal eggnog), Dick only grows more distant. But Damian knows what to do...

    Summary

    Somehow, Tim accidentally finding out about Dick’s secret civilian boyfriend leads to Bruce inviting Dick to bring the boyfriend home for the holidays after he’s back from his off-world mission with the Titans.

    Dick agrees, which means, by Christmas Eve, everything has to be perfect: no trace of vigilante activity in the manor, no Rogues acting up in Gotham, and definitely no Deathstroke running around just waiting to make a mess of Dick’s life.

    (Taking care of that last one turns out to be a lot harder than Tim thought.)

    Summary

    This will be an ongoing series of stories I add while working on other fics AKA a place to dump all my hurtDick! protectiveSlade! scenarios that I don't want to have to create full context around. Will try to add tags as I go if they aren't covered, but it's hurt/comfort all the way with varying degrees of darkness. If one is part of a larger story world, I'll put that in the notes. And if one is a pre-Slade and Dick marriage scenario, I'll note that as well.

    Summary

    He hears footsteps. Heading towards his cell. Towards him. To hurt him again. When he's just been allowed rest. He's going to be hurt again, they're going to peel away what's left of his skin. And then pour acid over it. His right leg throbs with fiery agony from where the Joker splashed acid over it. To make him a piece of art, he's his master's canvas. But that doesn't make sense because he hasn't felt anything there for days because he's sure the acid burned his sensory receptors beyond use and- he's retching, throwing up bile over himself.
    There's a hand on his face. On his chin, lifting it, he feels the skin stick with congealed blood. And suddenly he loses all fight. He's too tired to do anything but flinch. Let it end. He thinks with a finality that he's been lacking for the last few days. Let it end, please. A quick snap. He probably won't even feel it. Please. They let go.

    He's never that lucky.

    Summary

    Don’t kill. Don’t hurt. Be good. Be better.

    Dick could practically hear Batman whispering in his ear. Urging him not to stoop this low. Telling him not to participate in the clown’s insane game. Yet Dick couldn’t bring himself to care. His brother was dead. Killed by this madman who just now threatened to hurt Tim.

    His last string of restraint snapped. The clown was going to pay. Dick would make him suffer for ever touching his Little Wing.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Dick remembers how it felt to kill the Joker and wishes that monster had stayed dead. After Blockbuster, he knows that his hands are already bloody. He should be brought to justice, and, well, he might as well go out with a bang.

    Or: Dick breaks into Arkham to kill the Joker. He won't let anyone stop him—not some measly defense systems, not his baby brother, and not this mercenary who seems to be trying to break the Joker out.

    Summary

    When Bruce Wayne dies, his eldest is left to pick up the pieces of an already disjointed family.
    He is thrust into a role he never wanted and has to put on a performance that might just break him.
    A performance that can only end if the original owner returned or when Dick ultimately gets forced into an early grave.

    Basically, this is a retelling of the whole era immediately after Bruce dies (rip), but if the focus was on the relationship's between the characters and with a few things adjusted to make the writing flow better. It's not a retelling. But it is a telling of Dick's headspace during that time, that I think is pretty accurate.
