    It wasn’t his intention for it to become a thing. It just did. Not that he’s complaining, his babies only deserve to hear nice things.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson is back from Spyral, but it's been two months, and his brother won't even look at him.

    Dick wonders how his life got to this point and if it's still possible to save.

    Will it be too late, or will these estranged brothers manage to figure out Dick Grayson's deepest secrets?

     

    Or: no one knows why Dick actually faked his "death", will they figure it out before it's too late?

    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 And maybe Dick could handle a newer version of the gas...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.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson likes to laugh.

    His father says he sounds like birdsong.
    His enemies think he sounds like a warning bell.
    His siblings pretend they don't think it sounds like rest.
    His mentors only hear calculated clips of sound.
    His girlfriend believes he sounds like he's just heard the best joke of his life.

    Dick Grayson likes to laugh, but nobody's heard the same laugh twice.
