Summary
Gotham City has always been a place where monsters wear human faces. For over two centuries, one secret has stayed buried deeper than all the rest.
The Szarr family arrived in Gotham in the early 1800s. Aristocratic, pale, and impossibly wealthy. They built a manor on the outer edge of the old quarter, kept to themselves, and outlived everyone who thought to ask questions. To the city's elite, Cazador Szarr is merely a reclusive eccentric billionaire.
The young man always at his side is introduced as his ward. Astarion Ancúnin is beautiful and charming and has not made a single choice of his own free will in two hundred years.
Nightwing has brought down crime lords, assassins, and monsters wearing human faces. He is very good at his job. When a string of missing persons leads him to the Szarr family's doorstep, he's confident he knows what he's walking into.
He has never been more wrong about anything in his life.

Summary
Dick has always been the responsible one—the one who holds the line, keeps his cool, and plays by the rules. But after a long night of venting to Jason Todd about how he envies Red Hood's freedom to unleash hell, Dick comes home to find a custom-made Red Hood suit waiting for him. The note? Classic Jason: "Go nuts, Dickhead."
He knows it’s a bad idea. He knows he shouldn’t.
But Jason’s out of town. The city’s still a mess. And maybe—just this once—it’s time he stopped playing nice.

Summary
After years of training and hard work, Alessio de Riva is finally a full-fledged Crow.
He's not so good at listening to authority, though. When he takes initiative against the Antaam force occupying Antiva, it sets in motion events that will change Thedas forever.
He just has to survive them. With Lucanis Dellamorte in the mix, that should be easy. Right?
NOTE: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE GAME.

Summary
Talons are made to last. They aren’t alive, after all, which significantly reduces the chance of death by illness or injury and completely nullifies any age-related death. Even cold, a Talon’s greatest weakness, only causes them to hibernate. They may look and feel dead, but they’re plenty capable of reanimating once they thaw out. Truthfully, a Talon goes out one of two ways:
1. Complete and total destruction of the Talon’s body in the heat of battle
Or
2. Being neutralized by the Court when they determine the Talon is no longer worthy of the title
That’s how a Talon is supposed to die.
But that's not how this Talon dies. This Talon dies to become something else. Something more.
And for conspiring against nature, this Talon pays the price.

Summary
“If I tell you to drop it, will you?”
Tim doesn't answer right away— but Dick already knew he wouldn't. He never did.
“...No,” Tim says finally, meeting Dick’s gaze without flinching. “You don’t get to disappear on us for a year, come back, pretend everything is fine and then expect me to just let it go. That’s not how it works.”
“He’s right you know,” the kid says unhelpfully. Why won’t he just shut up? Why is he always here?
Dick’s lip twitch.
“Tim…” Dick starts, but the warning in his voice doesn't carry much weight. He’s too tired. He’s been too tired for months. Maybe years. “Some things are better left alone.”
“Not when they’re eating you alive.” Tim’s voice drops, softer now, no less firm. “We’re not blind, you know. Jason won’t admit it but he worries. Damian keeps asking why you don't come by anymore. Even Babs—”
“Stop.” Dick’s voice comes out sharper than he means, and Tim flinches. Just barely, but enough for Dick to notice it and feel bad. He scrubs a hand over his face, exhaling hard. “The truth hurts worse than you think. And I’m not gonna put that on you.”
Or
Dick's not doing good after Spyral.

Tim dropped from the ceiling into the penthouse below. He tried to land as delicately as possible, but with his bruised ribs he couldn’t help but lean forward too much on his toes. It was a minor wobble most people wouldn’t notice.
“You’re shifting your weight too much over your ankles.”
Dick Grayson was not most people.
------
or, after an injury forces Dick into early retirement, Tim takes up the mantle of Nightwing and all the weight that comes with it.

Summary
A faint hum, a fuzz of white noise, started in Jason’s brain sometime during the ruckus. Its volume grows now as the lobby clears out and the chatter quiets down.
For a few moments as the spy staggered towards the window, maybe twenty feet away from Jason, the distant side profile of his face looked– familiar.
───
It's been four years since the family lowered Dick's coffin into the ground, and Jason finally feels like he’s settling into his new job with the BAU. That is, until two people part of an illusive group called ‘Spyral’ arrive in custody.
aka. Jason works for the BAU and Dick hasn't come back from Spyral.

Summary
Dick rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m mostly used to sparring with my little brothers, it’s kind of just habit, and I was having fun. I didn’t want the match to be over too quick.”
“Too quick?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised. “I’m twice your size, kid.”
Dick shrugged. “So’s Bruce and we’re pretty much tied at this point, or at least according to the score board the kids started to keep for Saturday spars.”
“Saturday spars?” Derek repeated, following him towards the locker room.
Dick flashed him a smile. “What? Don’t have any weird family traditions?”
“Not ones that include hitting each other,” Derek said
OR The BAU gets a probationary profiler who is a little more than he appears at first glance. Or second. Or third. Just how many secrets can Dick Grayson be hiding from a team full of profilers?

Summary
So, it didn’t start out like this.
Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-
So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.
It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:
“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”
--
A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Summary
“No comment.”
“You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”
Bruce gave him a flat look.
“Or maybe I think I can help.”
“With a case of vandalism?”
Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”
“And what makes you say that?”
“If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”
“Is that so?”
“That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”
Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

“Oh, I know you don’t,” the man said calmly, his tone sending shivers down Nightwing’s spine. And then his gaze slid to where Tim was tied against the beam, defenseless, and Dick’s heart dropped. “But he does.”
“Don’t touch him,” Dick snarled, the words leaving his mouth before the other was even done speaking. “Don’t fucking touch him. I’ll kill you, do you hear me? He’s just a kid.”
