Summary

“So, you're mine, then.” He's looking at it like he can see through it. “But I never told you what my rules are.”
“Please,” it says.
It doesn't say, no.Series

Summary
Dick Grayson in media is a shining star; polished bright under the careful carelessness of Brucie Wayne. Go back far enough, and Mary and John Grayson's showmanship is prevalent, but time has pulled their performers’ smiles under Nightwing's mask until all Tim sees watching the TV is nepo baby Richie Wayne.
Which, considering it's a live unedited showing of Nepo Baby: Living Normal , season one finale, is a testament to his acting. -

Summary
Bruce finally goes to bed at a reasonable hour. Unfortunately, he doesn't wake up at a reasonable hour.
There was no sound to start, and there's no sound now. The blackout curtains are drawn across the window.
It's a void, although Bruce has to acknowledge, however grimly, it might only be a void for him. -

Summary
Dick continues to struggle with the rules. His family learns them.
“I fear…any answer you can give me will be the product of your captors.” His mouth is downturned at the edges, despite the softness of his voice. “You, I think, trust my words no more than I can trust your understanding of them. But if you can trust anything, trust that I mean you no harm.”

Summary
Dick tries to be good. It's hard, when the rules keep shifting.
He sits on the edge of the bed. “I have spoken to Drake. And I have given him a proposal. He does not like it, but I— Richard.” He swings his legs up and inches closer until he touches its side. A small hand runs through its hair. “There can be kindness in cruelty. Even if it doesn’t feel like it.”

Summary
Dick has only been a mob enforcer for six months, but delivering a shipment of guns to an up-and-coming crime lord in Gotham should have been easy. All he needs to do is win the man's trust and secure him as a repeat customer.
Unfortunately, the Red Hood is not impressed with him.

Summary
“Stop.” The man in the purple suit says, and Jason freezes.
“Stay there.” He says. “Don’t move.”
Jason tries to lurch forward, has some half-prepared snark about being told what to do, and he finds that he can’t. He can’t even move his arms. His eyes dart around the empty warehouse. Fuck. “Who are you?” Jason demands. “What is this?”
The man doesn’t even look over at him. “Stop talking.”

Summary
The natural light in the room dimmed as the sun lowered and with it, the temperature. Slade could admit as much to himself that he could no longer watch impassively as the boy froze. Eyeing him, Slade tried to overlook the fact that he could practically see the water freezing into glistening crystals on his skin.

Summary
“Dick,” the therapist said seriously. “Why are you here?”
Dick floundered, searching for words that wouldn’t come. “I…” He thought of Catalina’s hands washing soap from his body, massaging his back, feeding him sweet strawberries one by one. “I… I had a girlfriend.”
It doesn’t matter if Dick always feels Catalina's hand on the back of his neck, or her breath ghosting against his lips. He needs Nightwing. He needs to do good. How else will he counterbalance the sin weighing on his soul? So he’ll lie to his brothers, to Bruce, to Alfred. He’ll even lie to his reflection in the mirror. Because he knows that he'll be alright eventually. He'll be fine.
He'll be totally okay.

No big.
