Summary
Cass's best friend is gone. There's no one to help her figure out what real girls are supposed to act like, no more laughter to drown out the whispers in her head that tell her she'll never be anything more than a weapon.
Dick has lost everything that mattered to him, and worse—he's crossed the one line Bruce drilled into him from childhood. He's not even sure who he's supposed to be anymore. He's not Batman's partner—hasn't been for years. He's not a Titan either. He's just... Dick Grayson, and he's starting to think that might not be enough.
OR
Cass moves to Blüdhaven to escape Steph's ghost and somehow adopts a depressed acrobat. Dick's life just fell apart but he's still out here teaching basic life skills and that your entire personality can't just be "fights crime." Unsurprisingly, this doesn't stop either of them from being absolute disasters.

Summary
Dick Grayson never expected it to get this bad- and then it did. But he's fine, right up until he isn't. Sitting on the edge of a bridge, he starts to wonder what it would be like if he just let go- there wouldn't be any more sleepless nights, he wouldn't have to feel phantom hands running across his body, wouldn't have to live with the knowledge that he was broken.
He was starting to scare himself- he wasn't sure if he wanted to die. He pulled out his phone, hand hovering over his contacts before clicking on one labelled as Little Wing. He called, and then he called again, and again. Feeling tears run down his face, he left a voicemail, taking a deep breath. This was it.

Summary
Ever since he was a child, Dick Grayson has wanted to help others. That's why he created the Haven Community Center—a safety net for the people of Blüdhaven. But when children start disappearing one by one, what was meant to be a place of safety turns into a place of deceit and danger. As Dick dives deeper into the investigation, he’ll be tested like never before, forcing him to answer the question: What good is a safety net if it’s riddled with holes?

Summary
Dick thinks maybe his life is over. Hey, he caught the bad guy and saved the day, didn’t he? Well, no, he didn’t. The vigilante he’d been mentoring killed the bad guy. And the day blew up. But it probably could’ve been worse. Point is, all his cases are closed, and he doesn’t have a job because it blew up and he doesn’t have a home because it blew up and he doesn’t have a brother because he blew up. No, that happened before. Jason’s back now. Right.
Bruce told him to take a break. So maybe that’s what he’s doing. He’s taking a break. He’s blinking, long and slow.

The writer saw a panel from Batgirl Vol. 3 #5 and came up with the story.

Summary
It’s not easy to watch as Dick attempts to recollect himself to something presentable, like it could at all wash away what Jason has accidentally run in on. He rubs at his sweaty forehead, pinches at his watery eyes, runs a hand through his hair. A shiver runs down the entirety of his frame. A shaky inhale, then Dick blinks up at him with ruddy cheeks. “Oh,” he croaks. “Jason.”

Summary
Dick’s stomach dropped. His fingers went cold.
The fifth message was broken. Static, then something sharp.
“Dick. There’s something—someone—Joker. I think it’s Joker. I— I can’t—legs—fuck—”
Click.
His lungs froze. His mouth parted but no breath came.
He didn’t want to hit play on the sixth.
But his hand moved anyway.
A cough. Wet. A harsh, rattling breath.
Then the sickening clang of metal on something soft. Flesh? Bone?
Jason gasping.
“Tell B—I didn’t— Dick I—”
Click.
Or, What's going on with Dick during the events of "Where the Birds Used to Sing" starting from the end of chapter two.

Summary
Leidenfreude
Lahyd-n-froi-duh . Noun . German
-
A sense of paradoxical relief when something bad happens to you, which temporarily lowers your own expectations for yourself, transforming a faceless protagonist into something of an underdog, who’s that much easier to root for.
/
A feeling of relief when something bad happens to you. Believing it is due karma for you being a bad person. Confirming the thoughts that you are not good or deserving of good.Aka
Blockbuster is lowkey ruining his life, and Dick chooses to be an idiot when going about it. Nothing out of the norm, really
Now add in the batfamily because goddamn do I refuse to believe they didn't find out about the whole Blockbuster situation until- never.
Anyway, since I literally refuse to make a fanfic without Duke most times… pretend… pretend this takes place way later on, pretty please…? Thank you. I'm also adding Carrie and Mia, because FUCK canon. Carrie Kelley and Mia Mizoguchi my SHAYLAS.Or
I want Catalina Flores dead in a ditch and I'm using fanfiction to express that.

Summary
His hands shook - when had they begun shaking? - as he peeled the fabric off his hands. They were stained red. In some places it had begun to dry; crusting his joints. Most of it was still coagulating, thick, dark red drops dripping on the white porcelain of the sink and the square tiles below. The still-running water swirled the drops into streaks, before carrying them to the sewer.
Or: Nightwing kills the Joker.

Summary
CW for mentions of past canonical rape + sexual assault (Catalina Flores a.k.a Tarantula)
...
Dick slips into a dissociative state after it rains, and Bruce and the batfamily try to give him a bit of support.
...
'And he didn’t want to think about it today. It was inevitable, something he knew he was going to mull over the moment the first drop hit his head. That sticky sort of rain was worse than the cold, penetrating downpour that had him pinned to that roof all that time ago.'

Summary
Dick Grayson wasn’t meant to be the last one left. He wasn’t meant to stand in the ashes of a world that had been picked clean, with nothing but ghosts and regrets to keep him company. But he fought until there was nothing left to fight for—until even Gotham’s ruins turned silent.
Then, when all hope was gone, a desperate sorcerer offered him the impossible: a second chance. A way back. A chance to rewrite the past before The Light won, before his family fell, before his world crumbled to dust.
Now, he wakes up in his thirteen-year-old body, the weight of an entire lost future pressing down on his shoulders. The halls of Mount Justice are untouched, filled with laughter and life—but all he can see are the names that will one day be carved into headstones. Every choice is a loaded gun. Every secret is a ticking clock. And the people he loves most? They have no idea what’s coming for them.
He won’t let it happen again.
No matter what it takes.
