    Summary

    Bruce died and Cass couldn’t breathe for a week. She didn’t want to believe it at first, didn’t want to even think of it. She knew Bruce and she knew death and they didn’t fit together, not at all.

    He was gone, gone like Brenda and Bludhaven, gone like Steph had been. Like Faizul. She felt it inside of her, so keenly it was as if she had killed him by her own hand. She could search the whole earth and not find a trace of him. It was too much. The pressure was squeezing her insides, left her constantly choking for air. She couldn’t stop dry heaving.

    Or: Bruce is dead. Instead of leaving, Cass stays in Gotham. She learns a thing or two about being Batman.

    Summary

    BATMAN WANTED FOR MURDER! the headlines screamed.

    Dick buried his head in his hands and groaned. This being Batman thing had just been one disaster after another. “Bruce is going to kill me. He's going to come back to life and he's going to kill me.”

    Earthquakes, plagues, and murder charges, oh my! Dick is having a great time as Batman.

    Summary

    It did not help his own appearance frightened the other performers and for the most part the few months he had been there, he was locked in a cage with everyone staying away from him.

    Except this boy.

    This one boy was sitting outside the bars of his cage and staring.

    (When Dick's parents die, Waylon takes him and runs away from the state system and the strange billionaire that's taking too much interest in the one person he still cares about. Yet, they still end up coming back to Gotham because where else is a crocodile man and his not-quite-adopted kid supposed to go?)

    Summary

    "Dick was used to anxiety dreams, even (or especially) ones about falling and failing to catch people. They weren’t pleasant, but he understood that they were his brain’s way of working through buried fears. The garbage disposal of his subconscious.

    But these dreams were more like the hyper-vivid nightmares and thrashing night terrors he’d had after his parents’ deaths. And they were constant. Every time he closed his eyes. He didn’t just feel rattled when he woke up; he felt flayed open."

     
    (This will make more sense if you've read "Redrawing the Lines," but it takes place before "Season of Darkness, Season of Light," so you don't need to have read that.)

    Summary

    Maybe I am sad, he thinks, if only because it’s smart to go down that avenue before discounting it entirely. Scientists are open to all possible conclusions. Perhaps Dick is, in fact, sad.

    Dick is depressed. He has Bruce's support.

    Summary

    Ask the GCPD about the Joker’s death, and they’ll tell you he died of natural causes. Ask the Justice League, and they’ll tell you that it’s a matter that’s been resolved internally. Ask Batman and he won’t give you an answer, because he’s Batman. The truth of the matter, however, is this: Dick Grayson beat the Joker to death.

    [Or: A few months after the death of the Joker, Tim Drake comes to Haly’s Circus, looking for Dick Grayson.]

    Summary

    With teams run by a small handful of big names, recruitment based almost entirely on who you know, and unchecked interteam dating, the superhero community is practically designed to encourage interpersonal abuse. When a former sidekick comes forward to say that she was abused by her mentor, the entire community has to reckon with the part they may have played—and with the abuses that may still be going unnoticed.

    (A story of systems, told through chats, texts, and transcripts.)

    Summary

    Roy couldn’t help but feel out of place like his presence was keeping Bruce from acting like himself. Whatever “himself” looked like. Bruce had always been a bit of a cold asshole anytime Roy had been around him. Even when Bruce talked to Dick, there was a barrier there that made their conversations seem strictly business. Some part of Roy had always wondered if Bruce was the same way with Dick at home. For Dick's sake, he sure hoped not.

    OR the one where Roy gets to see Bruce act like a dad. Also, there are cars. Lots of cars.
