Hope; To Weaponize Love In A Fight by GracefulLeopard, PolynomialPandemic

Summary
It’s been a long time since Dick has been sufficient backup in the field, but… maybe he’s wanted for more than that.
Maybe he always has been.
It feels stupid, now, that he’d doubted it. It feels almost like a betrayal of his brothers, even though he didn’t mean it that way. Of course they want him here. Of course it’s easier with him around, that’s the whole reason he does what he does.
----
OR: as Weapons truly become Brothers, Shrike's usefulness in the field continues to decrease. Struggling to stay afloat, what will Dick trade away to be able to stay?
He'd better be careful before he loses himself entirely. The Handler always keeps her winnings.

[Podfic] I Learned To Drown Young by GLeoPods (GracefulLeopard), PolynomialPandemic

Summary
“I’m kinda fucked either way, if the pit's wearing off.”
No. No, he’s not, because Dick refuses to let him go.
“I’ll kill Ra’s Al Ghul myself if I need to,” Dick says, and means it with every fiber of his being, “I’m not letting you die again.”
Jason watches him carefully, like Dick is a porcelain vase about to topple. “The Pit didn’t revive me,” he says slowly. “You know that. I won’t die if it wears off.”
“You’re just going to take this?” He demands, pushing himself fully upright and staring Jason down, disbelief warring with his fury. ”You, Jason fucking Todd, are going to lie down and let yourself fade away? Just like that?”
OR:
The effects of the Lazarus Pit are wearing off.
Jason didn't want any of the Bats to know he was deteriorating, especially not Dick. But now that he does, nothing can stop Dick from trying to heal his brother.Except, maybe Jason is saving Dick as much as Dick is saving Jason.

Mom sold me to One Direction??? by GracefulLeopard, PolynomialPandemic

Summary
Tim's just been sold to One Direction.
Wait. Pause. Back up. Tim has just been sold to the Waynes.
He feels like fanfiction should have prepared him more for this. However, standing on the driveway and staring up at Wayne Manor, Tim feels like a stereotypical school kid about to take a math test they didn’t study for.
OR:
Tim expects to console Bruce Wayne in his grief, and maybe even cheer him up after the loss of his son. He does NOT expect Jason Todd to open the door and offer him a tour. -

Summary
A shake of the head, clear even through the mess his mind is right now. “I'm not letting you bandage broken ribs yourself. Shirt off, arms up. Sooner this is over, sooner you're out of my hair.”
Tim can’t exactly say 'okay, just don’t look at my back or worry about blood mysteriously showing up on the bandages,' but for some reason his brain isn’t producing anything helpful.
“Back,” he says, after a pause that might’ve been too long, “not ribs. Abrasion. I can do it.”
Hood scrutinizes him. “...you haven't cleaned it, have you,” he says with disappointment strong enough to form a haze in the room. Or maybe that's what Tim's vision has become.
OR
"Who did this to you?" but with Jason and Tim. Y'all know the drill.

Fandom: Batman - All Media Types

Summary
Weapons–people trained from a young age to act as a tool wielded by an organization–are not uncommon in the criminal underworld. A good Weapon is strong, obedient, and efficient. A great Weapon is reliable, smart, and loyal.
The Demon, Ghost, Hooded Jay and Shrike are all good Weapons. But together, they're great ones.
(Together, they're also brothers.)

Summary
“You just gotta wait three days,” Dick shrugs, “You'll be claimed.”
Tim's hold on his spoon tightens, and he looks away so they don't have a chance to see his crushed expression, “How can you be so sure?”
A snort brings his attention back to the two camp councillors in front of him. When Tim looks up to glare at them for finding his concern an amusing affair, he realises they're not laughing at him. In fact, they're sharing a fond sort of look between each other, like there's something about this whole thing that's familiar.
Dick looks back at him, expression kind despite the heavy look behind his eyes, “There are no unclaimed children at this camp.”
(Tim Drake is a newly orphaned demigod, though not for long.)

Summary
“I'm not afraid of falling, Bruce,” Dick says casually when the man's silence is an answer enough, pulling himself up to sit on the pole again, eyes a bright and relentless blue. The boy frowns, “My parents weren't afraid of falling either.”
Bruce feels his heart lurch in his chest. The ground seems very, very far away, “Dick."
“Bruce,” Dick replies easily, smiling something sad and faint, “Don't be scared. Falling is half the fun.”
(Bruce teaches Robin how to use a grapple, and Dick teaches Batman how to fly.)

you build up hope, but failure's all you've known by cateyam

Summary
He should call someone.
Babs, maybe. Or Wally. Or even Alfred— God, Alfred would know what to say. Maybe even Bruce himself. Just— just someone.
But he doesn't. Something’s telling him that he shouldn't.
It’s late anyway. No one’s awake. At least, that’s what he tells himself. He just needs to sleep it off and he’ll go back to normal. Whatever normal is.
Except sleep doesn't come.
He lies down eventually, staring up at the ceiling. The mask still clings to his face. He tells himself he’ll take it off after five minutes. Then ten. Then an hour.
He lies awake long enough to watch dawn leak through the blinds, turning the apartment from grey to gold. When his alarm goes off two hours later, he’s still in costume. His muscles ache as if he’s run a marathon.
Dick isn’t okay, even if he tells himself that he is. Jason and Bruce are there to help.

Summary
“If I tell you to drop it, will you?”
Tim doesn't answer right away— but Dick already knew he wouldn't. He never did.
“...No,” Tim says finally, meeting Dick’s gaze without flinching. “You don’t get to disappear on us for a year, come back, pretend everything is fine and then expect me to just let it go. That’s not how it works.”
“He’s right you know,” the kid says unhelpfully. Why won’t he just shut up? Why is he always here?
Dick’s lip twitch.
“Tim…” Dick starts, but the warning in his voice doesn't carry much weight. He’s too tired. He’s been too tired for months. Maybe years. “Some things are better left alone.”
“Not when they’re eating you alive.” Tim’s voice drops, softer now, no less firm. “We’re not blind, you know. Jason won’t admit it but he worries. Damian keeps asking why you don't come by anymore. Even Babs—”
“Stop.” Dick’s voice comes out sharper than he means, and Tim flinches. Just barely, but enough for Dick to notice it and feel bad. He scrubs a hand over his face, exhaling hard. “The truth hurts worse than you think. And I’m not gonna put that on you.”
Or
Dick's not doing good after Spyral.

Summary
“You saw the body?” Jason asks. It’s a stupid question—of course Tim saw it. Tim was the one who found it, who rolled it into the carpet in the first place. But there’s a second question wrapped up in his strangled tone, which is: Are you okay after seeing the body?
Tim just purses his lips, almost indignant. “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a corpse before, Jason.”
Right, Jason thinks, but it’s the first time the corpse has been your own fucking dad.
-
Tim is desperate to keep his father’s death a secret from Bruce at all costs. Which is how he ends up hiding a body with Jason Todd, of all people.
