    Summary

    Freedom was a foreign concept to Dick Grayson; after 9 years of pure hell as Slade Wilson’s apprentice, he could barely remember what it felt like. He wasn’t sure if there was much left of him to remember anyway, but then like that, he was free. Slade was killed, and Dick was freed. Now Dick Grayson must learn how to live again and heal from the hell he had lived through. Becoming the hero, Nightwing to protect Bludhaven while slowly reuniting with his family. Will Dick heal from all the trauma he had lived through, or will the nightmares of his mind take him first?

    Summary

    Remember that episode in Teen Titans where Slade forces Robin to become his apprentice? Well, what if that happened, but with the Batfamily instead? (Can be read without seeing the episode.)
    ----
    “This isn’t about your family, Nightwing. It’s about you. It’s always been about you. For some time now I have been searching for an apprentice–someone to follow in my footsteps. And Nightwing, I’ve chosen you.”
    ---
    Dick Grayson will sacrifice everything to keep his family safe, even if it means becoming the apprentice of the man he hates the most in the world. But is his family willing to let him go without a fight?

    Summary

    It would be so easy, a treacherous part of him whispers, to kill him right now. The man's unmoving, unable to defend himself. It would be an easy death. And it would all be over - for good.

    It would be so easy. The swords tighten in the apprentice's grip. But he's a coward. So he does what cowards do best.

    He runs.

    Summary

    “I know what you’re thinking,” Robin starts again, hoping to at least break the silence a little. “That I’m unprepared in the crime fighting world, and this just proves why you fired me from being your partner. Yell at me, call me impulsive, do whatever you gotta do as my dad. But whatever you say, I’m not coming back to Gotham.”

    “No, it’s not that…” Bruce’s voice finally crackles through the speaker. “I just wanted to make sure that you’re okay right now.”

    Robin returns from Slade's apprenticeship. What he doesn't expect, of all things, is a call for him right after from the Batman himself.

    Summary

    “I’m here now, like you wanted. So talk.”

    That gave Slade a pause.

    It wasn’t stunned speechless, nor was it his brain catching up to what it heard. It felt more like a snapshot, a moment of stillness to make the rush after all the more disorienting.

    Slade gestured with cuffed hands, palms facing upward. “It’s not about what I want,” he started, “it’s what you need. I know you have questions, and that I have the answers.” He laced his fingers together and placed his chin atop them. “But that’s… formulaic, too conventional. Why not make it interesting?”

    ---

    There's unrest in the underground and Slade seems to be a part of the cause. He agrees to cooperate with the League on a condition: Only Nightwing can interrogate him.

    For every question Nightwing asks, he has to answer a question from Slade as well. Confidential information was off the table, that was made clear. So what seems to be Slade's end goal here, if the deal just sounded too good to be true?

    Summary

    Dick tried to forget. He didn’t want to confront the nightmare that was his time as Slade’s “apprentice”. Life, and a case in Gotham, had different plans.

    Summary

    Starfire wiped her eyes. Her hands were glowing a faint acidic green, though the deeper the breaths she took, the more they faded away to her default orange. “Are there any other battle wounds from your time with Slade?”

    “You don’t want to know that, Star.”

    “Can’t be much worse than, what?” Cyborg ticked off his fingers as he listed, “Mutant reptile attacks, impromptu surgery, impromptu surgery but way more symmetrical this time, murderous eco-warriors, and the Batman?”

    “You’d be shocked.”

    “Then tell us,” Raven said, pulling the thread just a little tighter than seemed strictly necessary, Dick winced. “You keep things from us all the time, and that can’t continue from now on. So start with something small now, that way the big things come easier.”


    or, after the end of the apprentice arc, the Titans take the time to patch up Robin. While doing so, they notice the concerning amount of scars he has, and he gets the chance to trust his ragtag team. Some of them have better stories than others, and some stories have nothing to do with his injuries at all.

    Summary

    Dick never told Bruce what happened with Slade while he was in Jump City, not wanting his dad to worry (and not wanting to look weak). But now, years later, they need Deathstroke's help on a mission, and the truth finally comes out to his entire family, and to the League.

    And, as per usual, Slade Wilson has a few dozen agendas up his sleeve.

    Summary

    “Once upon a time, Dick Grayson had made his own light. He was a light, a beacon of hope beside the bat, cutting through every shadow. A guiding star in the darkest of nights.

    Nightwing is just a hollow shadow of the great man he might have become.”

    Robin didn’t escape Deathstroke and Renegade was born. Eight years later, Deathstroke is dead and Nightwing has made his debut. But just because his master is gone doesn’t mean he’s free.

    Summary

    Despite the threats to his friends' lives, Robin remains willful and disobedient at a level that Slade finds irritating rather than charming. So, he decides to spirit Robin away to a more secure base, where he can focus on slowly, carefully, breaking down 'Robin' and recreating him as 'Apprentice'. However long that takes.

    Summary

    Dick was abducted by the Court of Owls after his parents' death. Years later, Batman destroys the Gotham Court which allows Dick to flee. He meets and saves Jason on the streets. They become best brothers and live in (for them) relative peace until they stumble upon that pesky Batman who makes things complicated. But don't worry, they make it far more complicated for him...

    If you're a fan of long stories that deal with redemption, trauma and found family, this might be for you. :)

    Summary

    It’d be easier, Dick thinks, if there was something obvious he could point to. A clear-cut example, where any outside observer would have to agree. Something that couldn’t be argued to just be a power play, or training, or part-and-parcel of being a hostage.

    There isn’t. Maybe that’s the point.

    Dick paid attention in Batman’s training, he knows what grooming is. He knows what sexual abuse is. But this? This is something he has no frame of reference for.

     

    Or: an apprentice fic where Slade’s kinks are a little unusual, and Dick has trouble finding where the line is.
