Summary
Steph can't stop disappointing people, so she figures in for a penny, in for a pound, and she shoots her dad in the goddamn head with his own gun.
She'll never be a Bat again.

Summary
The fifth morning in the Whirling, and the second morning of the man in the wig pretending not to stare at you as you walk down the stairs, you decide you need to know who he is.
(For the good of the case, of course.)

Summary
It’s the bottom of the ninth. It’s the first day of the season and it’s also the second game of the series, and it’s the bottom of the ninth but it’s also the first inning, and Nico stopped trying to make sense of how those numbers add up a long time ago.
It’s been the first day of the season at least a hundred times, by his estimate.

Summary
The Scorekeeper draws their coat tighter around their shoulders as they pick their way across the tall grass. The ground is still halfway muddied from the late-offseason snow; their boots sink in uncomfortably and their footsteps make no sound. The ground feels like it will swallow them whole.
(The Scorekeeper, and Dunn Keyes, and being a person in a world that does not want you to be a person.)

Summary
the trench is cold, and it is dark, and it is almost-but-not-quite empty. the vault is cold, and it is eye-searingly bright, and it is claustrophobic the moment she's locked inside.

Summary
Jason Todd goes to Titan's Tower to send a message. He won’t kill Robin there, no—that wouldn’t be poetic enough. Instead, he’ll torture the cuckoo to death and dump his body in the Nevada desert, never to be found—ensuring he has enough fingers and toes to mail Bruce for the next twenty years.
Only when the time comes, Jason…can’t do it.
Now he’s stranded 3,000 miles from Gotham with nothing but a smart-mouthed Robin, a beat-up pickup truck, and a dream.
You know what they say: take me home, country roads.
Or,
Jason goes to Titans Tower to attack Tim. Instead, the two road-trip across the country from San Francisco back to Gotham. Featuring greasy diner food, shitty motels, talks about trauma in the bed of a pickup truck, and as many metaphors about roads as I can possibly cram in here. And stars, for some reason.
OR OR,
Jason drives forever and ends up exactly where he started.

Summary
“This isn’t the Court,” Bruce tells him, for what has to be the millionth time. “It isn’t.”
Dick is still wrapped in the blanket, clutching it close to his skin, and he looks away, pinning the ground with his gaze, until he finally meets Bruce’s eyes like he’s facing his biggest fear. He speaks hoarsely. “Where are my parents?”
“They’re —” Bruce falters. “They’re dead.”
He doesn’t react. “Was it the Court?” His voice shakes.
While fighting the Court of Owls, Bruce encounters a newly indoctrinated Talon and acquires his first child.

Summary
Red Hood is a criminal, so it doesn't make sense why he would bother dragging Nightwing back to Dick Grayson's apartment and bandaging his potentially deadly gunshot wounds. What makes even less sense is why Hood keeps coming back.
(a.k.a. another "Dick redeems Red Hood with the power of affection" fic but with even less mental stability.)
