Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

Summary
Blüdhaven is gone.
And so is the man Dick used to be. The Court of Owls found him in the wreckage and turned what was left into a weapon. Even after the Court fell, their claws stayed buried deep. Dick wears the right masks—Nightwing, dutiful son, loyal soldier—but underneath, he’s something else.
He swore he could keep the two lives separate. He almost believed it. Until he found Wally West—lost in Gotham, hurting, stubborn, good. Until Wally looked at him—not as Dick, not as Nightwing—but as something new. Something dangerous. And smiled anyway.
Wally doesn’t recognize him. He doesn’t know that the hands he trusts, the mouth he kisses, the shadows he falls into—all belong to someone who already betrayed him.
Dick tells himself he should let him go. That Wally deserves better. That loving him like this—lying to him like this—is a cruelty even the Court would envy.
But Dick is too far gone. Too broken to stop.
He can’t have Wally as the man he was.
But maybe, in the dark, behind a different mask, he can still hold onto him.
Even if it means becoming the thing he swore he’d never be.

Summary
Wally's skin is hot when he touches him, his fingers mapping out the naked skin, breath hitching as he watches Wally squirm beneath him. Dick looks at Wally with an ache in his heart and fire in his veins, the longing consuming him whole as he wants. Wally's eyes are dark, his lips red from the bruising kisses, his skin flushed red down to his chest. Dick wants. And he takes.
!!!The third part of the series, but can definitely be read without context!!!
