    Summary

    Dick and Bruce are like this:
    Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity, but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.

    Their story has always been radioactive.

    A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked, and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

    Summary

    Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.

    It's just not the same anymore.

    So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.

    The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.

    Summary

    Dick laughed. “Chin up, Cass. It’s your night." He unfolded his arms, wistful, like all of it was fabulous. “Five more minutes. Nothing the perfect heir can't handle, right?”

    He’d smiled, but there was a sleight of hand that occurred in that space of a second, a magician’s old trick, but before she could fully read him Dick had turned and disappeared into a sea of blonde and blue-eyed, reshifting the center of the room’s gravity.

    Or: Dick & Cass vs the year the Gotham press pits Bruce Wayne's two eldest against each other. It's not a crisis—it's a metamorphosis. Probably.

    Summary

    “I—” Tim recalibrated. Desperately, he scanned Dick’s face—his features blurred over, a wall of nothing; Tim chipped away: “You were a kid, who’ll blame a kid? They won’t hurt anyone again. If you want to, to, to talk to anyone—but it was a long time ago, you’re Nightwing now—”

    Tuesday morning: a video was uploaded to one of the deep web black markets. The footage, shot on those grainy vintage camcorders. But Tim knew that boy in the thumbnail; his eyes had memorized him, the heft and shape and dazzle of him, imprinting like an afterimage.

    Or: a brother is a witness; there's your tragedy.

    Summary

    “You suspect you’re experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations?” The Doctor asks, clicking his pen against his notepad.

    “Uh,” Yuuji eyes the demonic carcass hanging off the doctor’s shoulder. “I’m a little bit more sure than that.” 

    ...

    Yuuji wakes up in the hospital with a voice in his head, a monster hanging off his doctor, and no memory of the past seven months. Certifiably insane, he moves in with his doctor who promises a cure and tries to figure out just what the hell he's been doing in Tokyo for the past year.
