Haven't I Given Enough? by Valpalmalec

Summary
There was only one thing Scarecrow wanted to inflict. Fear.
In his head, Dick was grateful he was the one in the hot seat. He always had a harder time watching his loved ones be in pain than taking the pain himself. That face was one of the leading reasons behind almost everything he does. Furthermore, he and Bruce have been testing his level of resistance to Scarecrow's fear gas, and compared to the others- even Bruce- he was the best option for this. Right?
. .
OR: Scarecrow makes a fear toxin specifically for Nightwing, who seems to be immune to his normal batch. And maybe Dick could handle a newer version of the gas... if there wasn't also a device attached to his head that analyzed his thoughts to make him face his greatest fears...
What's worse is that his family, who have basically shut him out since his return from Spyral- from the dead- is there to witness his fall.
*Title from the song 'Gilded Lily' by Cults

Summary
"You're here," Dick pointed out, tiredly smiling at his Robin.
Damian clicked his tongue, some of his usual liveliness returning as he rolled his eyes. "We are partners, of course I am."
Dick grinned wider. "Of course you are," He echoed.
A shadow of a smile tugged at Damian's lips.
"When you have recovered we should-"
And then Dick's back split open.
In which Dick grows some wings, Clark delivers some well-earned pie, and the Dynamic Duo 2.0 talk about everything and nothing.

Summary
Teaming up with the Terminator had not been on Jason’s to-do list as he worked his way from the League of Assassins toward Gotham and built his network as a rising crime lord—but he wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
At least until he stumbles upon something too concerning to ignore: Why does the Terminator have so many pictures of his kids and Dick

Summary
The bathroom door catches, stopping abruptly. When another light push doesn’t budge it open much further, Jason flicks on the light before peeking his head in. Then he stills.
Catherine’s slack limbs sprawl across a dingy bathroom floor, long hair splayed on the yellowed and cracked tiles. Her face imitates a ghostly paleness, lax with dried vomit and stray strands of hair stuck to her lips.
He blinks.
It’s Dick.
───
It's raining. Dick hasn't washed his hair in days. Enter: Jason.

Summary
Connor didn’t sign up for any of this, let alone becoming an accidental symbol of the Android Revolution for his actions in Hart Plaza. With android freedom acquired, he just wants to be left alone and do what he was made for.
He just has to find a police department incompetent enough to not realize his references, half his service record, and all of his identifying documentation are fake (it's hard to get a driver's license when you weren’t even considered sentient six months ago).
Enter the hiring committee of the Bludhaven Police Department, who didn't even read half his resume, and his new partner Detective Dick Grayson, too observant for his own good.

Summary
Jason hasn’t forgiven Dick for Spyral, none of them have. So he’s more than reluctant to accompany Dick on a mission for the first time since his brother has been back. But Dick isn’t the one asking, Bruce is. So Jason says yes, because he and Bruce are on good terms at the moment. But what he learns might change all that.

Summary
“Hi,” she says in a breathless rush, then takes a moment to swallow and wet her lips. “I, uh, need your help?”
“Are you dying?”
“N-not exactly.”
“Then you don’t need me,” comes Jason’s lazy, uninterested reply.
The call ends with a click.
--
Steph doesn't know what's more embarrassing: that she's been locked in a closet during a party, or the fact that her "friends" aren't really her friends.And to top it all off, Jason's the only one who can come rescue her.

Summary
For Tim Drake – seventeen, grieving and unprepared to return to Gotham after personal tragedy – sinking into isolation is as natural as breathing.

Summary
Crossing his ankles propped on the table, jostling his helmet next to him, his mouth quirked up. “At least I’m not you, who sees the idiot as some sort of pseudo father figure.”
Dick choked on his coffee, and Damian sputtered and took a step back. “What?!”
“You heard me.” He thumbed in the direction of Dick, who clumsily tried to mop up the hot liquid staining his shirt and scalding his skin with a crusty dishrag that smelled like mildew. “You see him in a way you don’t your own dear old dad.”
Damian’s cheeks darkened in a deep flush that even reddened the tips of his ears. “You don’t know what you’re talking about!”
--------------------------------------------
After Bruce's return to the Bat, Dick and Damian have to deal with just being brothers, but things are just a bit too messy to be that easy

Summary
“Is the Red Hood’s helmet watertight?” someone asked, and Jason was cold and dripping and on the ground next to Dick and he wasn’t breathing.
“No,” Tim’s voice was tight.
“We need to take it off,” Lagoon Boy's words were met by a handful of yells, both in person and through the comms.
“This is the Red Hood,” Shazam said. “They say he has explosives in his helmet. It might explode if you try to take it,”
“Seriously?”
Dick reached towards the helmet to unlock it with trembling hands, to everyone’s alarm.
“The explosives.” Superboy interjected.
“Connor,” Tim cut in sharply. “We know what we’re doing,”I had thoughts about Jason being super cagey about his identity as the Red Hood to the point that he has explosives in his helmet to prevent people from taking it off, and the vulnerability of the Batfam members knowing the ins and outs of his helmet and how to take it off despite it all.
