Summary
Bernard Dowd was, frankly, lucky to have survived the Dionysus pain cult quest. Lucky him, he got to be the event depicted on the camp bead. Unlucky him, that means when Percy takes up a quest that puts him in Gotham City, Bernard ends up on his list of 'people to ask to take up the quest'.
Well. Bernard is done with quests. No more. Not ever again. Just chilling with his boyfriend, getting through college, and living in a Godless city as a demigod on his agenda. He will absolutely not, under any circumstances, go questing.

Summary
Bernard sighed, setting the phone down and folding his arms. “Okay. Just spit it out.”
Tim sat first, placing the plate on the table with care. “Please don’t freak out—” he began.
“TimisRedRobinandI’mSuperboyandwedidn’tknowhowtotellyouandwe’rereallysorryforlyingforsolongpleasedon’tbreakupwithus—” Kon blurted, voice cracking somewhere in the middle of the confession.
Tim slapped a hand over Kon’s mouth, glaring at him.
Kon blinked, muffled.
They both turned to look at Bernard.
Bernard raised an eyebrow. Slowly. Unimpressed.
The silence stretched.
Kon fidgeted. Tim shifted. Neither of them spoke.
Bernard exhaled like the weight of the world had just settled on his shoulders. “So you’re telling me... that both of you are vigilantes-slash-heroes... and you’ve only just now decided to tell me?”
Tim opened his mouth.
Bernard held up a finger. “Nope. No. No speaking. I’m not done.”
Tim’s mouth closed.

Summary
It really sucked when your crush was built like a brick shithouse with looks to kill. Like seriously, the things Bernard would do to Tim Drake in that Red Robin suit. Or in a business suit. Or just wearing anything in general. Those grey sweatpants he was currently sporting? Outta be sin and promptly removed. Preferably with Bernard doing the removing.

Summary
Have you ever seen someone outside the place you normally know them and just… not recognised them? Like spotting a teacher in the supermarket, or your doctor out walking their dog, and your brain takes a second to catch up? Psychologists even have a name for it; the “butcher-on-the-bus” effect. Out of context, even the people closest to us can look like strangers. And sometimes, it’s not their face that brings them back to you at all, but their voice, their laugh, or the way they still crack a joke when they really shouldn’t.
When you hear a deep rumbling voice emanating from something that seems more shadow than man you don’t question who is speaking. That’s obviously Batman.
The thing is, this time, Bernard couldn’t actually see Batman. -

Summary
Bernard had never been a fan of altars.
Even before he found himself flat on his back, wrists tied uncomfortably above his head with ropes that scratched like twine made from cat tongues, he had a thing about them. Too dramatic. Too blood-sacrifice-y. Too “You’re not getting out of this one, Dowd.”
This one especially sucked.
The chaos monsters—twenty of them, if he’d counted right before the chanting started—looked like something spat out by a D-list demon god with bad taste and a love for ooze. Horns, claws, teeth in weird places. Too many eyeballs, and not enough common sense.
Bernard strained against the ropes as the lead freak—bigger, slimier, and apparently in charge—raised a jagged ceremonial knife above its head. The others screamed in some language Bernard had been tuning out for the past hour.
Then the knife came down.
Straight into his sternum.
He braced for pain. He’d tried not to scream when it happened, maybe leave this world with some shred of dignity. But instead—
Nothing.
Or, what could've happened if Tim hadn't made it in time to save Bernard.

Summary
There's definitely no table for what to say when you find out your boyfriend is a vigilante, but maybe Bernard should have been a little more subtle in the situation.
"Your family is the only one rich enough to do something like this, so either you were vigilantes or you were in a cult." Bernard laugh. "But I'm glad you're not part of a cult, I have a very specific list of which cults I would date someone from."

Summary
Jason looks upon Junior the same way he looks upon himself every morning. He sees Junior and feels so many conflicting emotions. Not because the kid reminds him of the joker but because he's a kid that's so hurt that he'll never be the same.
Jason knows that JJ won't ever be Tim again in the same way that Jason won't ever be Robin again. Jason understands that once the joker gets his claws into you, you're lucky to claw your way out with any sense of self whatsoever. Even if that sense of self is warped into something completely different.
Jason could never tell JJ to just leave the pain behind when Jason knows that his own pain is what has made and unmade Jason himself.
Or; 2k+ words of Joker Junior Tim and Pain Cult Bernard waging psychological warfare against Red Hood Jason

Summary
“I’ll be in the living room,” Bernard grumbles, stepping out of the room with ill-grace. It won’t be the first time he’s spent a night on the living room coach because of Dick Grayson but this time feels especially insulting.
Tim makes a questioning sound, eyes already slipping shut.
“Good night,” Bernard whispers, closing the door behind him.
He sighs, deep and weary. Fucking Dick Grayson.
Bernard hadn’t realized dating Tim meant dealing with his older brother. He’s… adjusting.

Summary
Bernard’s new life has been frankly great these past years. He’d gone through them easily with just a few minor hiccups- only if you considered almost being used as a human sacrifice to be a minor hiccup that is. He finally left his old life and is now an aspiring EMT, only to be thrown back into the world of vigilantes after finding out his boyfriend is Red Robin.
So he contacts his sister who is still actively a vigilante, and finds out she has successfully infiltrated the court of owls. He offers to help her, ater all, how else can he keep a closer eye on Red Robin and ensure his sister has someone to fall back on.

Summary
"The night’s not over yet, and there’s still plenty we could take advantage of."
Bernard paused for a second, a sly smile tugging at his lips. There was something about that tone that lit up every nerve. Tim’s hands were already helping him out of his jacket, letting it fall to the floor without a second thought.
He leaned in, his lips brushing against Tim’s ear.
"And what does my charming boyfriend want to do?" he whispered, his voice softer than he thought it could go."Let me show you…" Tim purred, taking his hand and leading him toward the bedroom.
