Do I Care if I Survive this? by Luluwoo

Summary
“Rumour down in Crime Alley is that you’re the dumb blonde of the Bat Clan. Got nothing but a nice face and a few cool flips to offer the crowd.” Jason reached a hand up and tapped at his temple. “Got nothing up there in that pretty, little head of yours.”
Nightwing actually laughed at that, sounding unbelievably tired, and more than ready to just pass out where he sat.
Which would be a very annoying thing for Jason to have to deal with this early in the morning.
It was supposed to be his one off day this month dammit.
“So they say, yeah,” Nightwing agreed, voice so soft that Jason only heard it because of his enhanced hearing.
There was a beat of silence, followed by a warning of incoming stupidity in the form of a teasing smile curving Nightwing’s lips.
“You think my head is pretty, Jay?”
Or,
Jason Todd has a rather...peculiar first encounter with Bludhaven's darling hero, Nightwing.

Summary
“Bruce, you would report parents like those to the police. And by the time I was with the Titans, I would too. And still, Bruce, still, I took it when you hurt me because—because I don’t know. Because maybe, somewhere along the way, I started pretending you weren’t my father.”
"Hurt you," Jason echoes, and now his voice isn't raspy because he's pretending to be Batman. Bruce hurt Dick. The first son, the favourite, the one most like him.
Bruce hurt him?
"Do you still not understand what you did? What you keep doing? ‘It is what it looks like.’ Funny how I only realised it after my death, after you beat me up and sent me away from my family.”
Dick stands up, all stiff movements. The light from outside hits him directly, and Jason realises he’s in a nightmare.
Jason was—he was dreaming. This—this man, hunched and shaking and bleeding—cannot be Dick. His brother’s face could never be dripping with blood from his father’s fists.
“Look. You’ve made me a victim,” Dick tells him.
OR
Dick finally realises Batman is an abusive piece of shit, and so do his brothers. What follows is never that simple.

Haven't I Given Enough? by Valpalmalec
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics)
22 Oct 2025
Tags
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
Tim is mad at Dick. No, scratch that. He's furious. The guy faked his own death, after all. And then he lied. For nearly a year, he didn’t say a damn thing. Not a peep, not a syllable, not the slightest utterance, his family as dead to him as he was to them.
Tim decided he wouldn't forgive Dick after that, but… well…
It's hard to be mad at the guy who's crying on the floor.

Summary
——Dick’s eyes met with the other that he realized how dense the atmosphere was. The void-like eyes that sucked him in had a look he could never decipher and won’t no matter how many times he has seen it directed towards him.
“Please correct me if I’m gathering all of this wrong, Dick.” Katavi’s voice filled that silence and replaced it with something more unknown. A chill crashed through his joints, his movements rendered useless as he felt a pull from the therapist that sat unmoving until he pushed his glasses up slightly.
“…it appears to me that you are lacking something within yourself. A sense of identity in a way that if I put a mirror up to your face and ask you who you see, you would say every name except your own. You don’t see yourself as a person, perhaps more like an acting number, a performance. These identities, costumes and everything has taken pieces of you until nothing resembles who you are or who you once were. You lost Dick Grayson and rather,”

Summary
“We sure could have used Goldie on this one, huh, Bats?” He murmured, looking over at Bruce.
The Bat glanced at him, his permanent frown in place as he looked back at Gotham’s skyline. “Stay focused, Hood. We can’t get sidetracked tonight.”

Summary
"You've been with Spyral. Nightwing has only appeared once. It's an ideal time for you to leave on this assignment."
"That's the exact reason I want to stay," Dick said. Wasn't Spyral supposed to be the last of it? Wasn't he supposed to be done with all of this undercover bullshit? Could he please try to take a few months to reacquaint himself with who he was past Nightwing and Ric and Agent 37. All he wanted was to try and figure out who Dick was at this point, who he was past the Flying Graysons and the gymnastics and all of it.

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.
