    Summary

    ‘’You know the Mad Hatter?’’

    An involuntary shiver runs up Roy’s spine.

    ‘’Jarvis Tetch? Short little freak with a hard-on for Alice in Wonderland? Yeah, Wings' mentioned him, once or twice. Dabbles in mind control. Gives me the creeps.’’

    ‘’Well, back in the day he built this thing called the Dream Machine, trapped its victim in a kind of dream world. It seems someone found the blueprint. Spruced it up a bit.’’

    A cold feeling settles in Roy’s stomach.

    ‘’You’re saying…’’

    ‘’You’re looking at the Dream Machine 2.0.’’

     

    ---

     

    Or: Dick is dreaming and Roy needs to get him out. He learns a lot of things along the way, things Dick would've preferred to keep buried.

    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 And maybe Dick could handle a newer version of the gas...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 released all of the air in his chest with a sigh of relief and slumped against the couch. His neck rested on the couch’s back as his head hung loosely over it. He studied the ceiling and went over Bruce’s contingency.

    1. Make sure you are in the past and check all your bases. Determine whether science or magic brought you there.

    Definitely in the past, but also in an alternate universe. Definitely a magic trick.

    2. Stay out of anyone’s way and don’t move until I find you and bring you home.

    Rescue’s not coming, and I need to move.

    3. Whatever you do, never ever mess with time.

    Well, …rules are for losers anyway.

    or-

    After being hit by a magician's spell, Dick is stranded in a universe where he doesn't exist. Determined to bring his family back together, Nightwing sets out on a mission to bring his siblings home.

    Summary

    Four years ago, Jason Todd died. Three years ago, Dick Grayson started having nightmares about it. Two years ago, the nightmares bled into the day time. One year ago, Dick finally got help.

    For forty-nine weeks, everything was okay. The therapy was helping. The pain, the fear, the visions had all but faded, and what remained was more than manageable.

    Three weeks ago, Dick saw Jason again. And his life has been a nightmare ever since.
