Summary
“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”

Summary
Unknown number has sent 1 image, the banner reads. That’s right. The Replacement had said he was into photography or something. Another buzz comes in as Jason is double checking the daggers shoved into his boots. And then another. And another. It’s incessant. With a huff, Jason opens the phone back up to idly stroll through the stream of Dick’s inconsistently punctuated texts.
Tim what is this
Where are you
You said you had homework??????
Hello????
Well, he seems a little distressed.
Jason scrolls back up to the top of the chat, ignoring Dick’s incoming messages to take a closer look at the inciting image. It’s blurry and dark. Jason has to hold the phone ridiculously close to his face just to make it out. A green-gloved hand gives a thumbs-up over a piece of wet pavement. Jason squints closer. It’s not just wet. It’s a deep, slick red.
Cool. Whose blood is that? Jason asks. Dick’s response is immediate: NOT HELPING JAY.
***
Jason, Dick, and Tim learn about communication.

Summary
It was easily the most predictable hit he’d ever delivered. If the knee hadn’t telegraphed it, the wind up would have. He’d leaned back, leaned forward, and sent the sloppiest punch of his vigilante career at the face of a man who should’ve seen it coming from a mile away.
Bruce’s head snapped back with a soft, surprised oomph. He took one step backward, regaining his balance on one overly-smooth loafer as blood began to gush down his face.
Dick stared at him, unable to speak. Unable to look away as Bruce put a hand to his cheek, probing at the bloody gash like he’d never been hit in the face before. The hit he hadn’t seen coming.

Summary
When Batman is out of town and Gotham City is left to the small flock of other Bats, what else is a group of highly trained vigilante protectors to do but make ill-advised bets about which Robin can complete a city-wide obstacle course in one night?
Everyone getting dressed up in their old costumes to prove which Robin will reign victorious is either the best idea any of them have ever had, or the worst. Dick Grayson would like it on record that though this whole thing is technically his fault, he is not to be held responsible for anything his competitors and siblings may be getting up to. He would also like it on record that he absolutely plans to totally crush them all in this race.

Summary
Bruce is bound and determined to stay a part-time member in this whole Justice League experiment. With a rambunctious group of protégés to train and a secret identity to protect, he has neither the time nor patience for co-workers who like to casually flirt on the job.
But he can't control his kids' knack for finding trouble, or their deftness at making new friends.
OR
Seven times a Justice League member helped out a BatFam kid, making a reluctant friend for life in Bruce Wayne. And one time he thanked them for it.

Belated bookmark. I think about the bombshell bit of dialogue that is “Hand me a lollipop like you promised, and I won’t let him cry” so often that clearly this fic has embedded itself deeply in my psyche and deserves to be preserved.

Summary
"What, aren't you going to invite me in for coffee? I'm early."
A little, quiet laugh. "The suit is asking why I didn't invite him inside? You should know your criminals better than that, Agent." The door shuts behind him. Caffrey begins to walk down the hallway, but Peter stays where he is.
"Should I be concerned, then?" He's expectant, unimpressed. Like a teacher asking a student to hand over their phone for having it out in class, he thinks wryly. After all, he did get up earlier this morning with the expectation of being invited inside. He'd like a quality shot of caffeine, true, but more than that, he needs to make sure his consultant isn't plotting anything where he thinks Peter can't see. It is in the criminal mindset to use every weak point and loophole in a given situation to their benefit.
(For the most part, Peter Burke represents the best of all FBI agents: he follows the rules, he catches bad guys, and he keeps his CI on a tight leash. Dick Grayson and Neal Caffrey are having a hard time coexisting, but the mission always comes first.
Well, you know what they say about Rome: it wasn't built in a day, but it burned in one.)

Summary
Dick doesn't know who's captured him, but he does know they don't care about his identity and they haven't killed him. So either they need him alive for something… or they just want to hurt him.
Jason, on the other hand, knows exactly who has Dick, and why.

Summary
Picture this: You're Clark Kent, finishing a story while in Gotham. You hear Batman's young sidekick patrolling alone and decide to go introduce yourself to him, forgetting you're in civilian clothes. Batman's young sidekick bolts, and you chase after him to explain that everything is fine & you're just concerned for his safety.
OR: the one where, due to some misunderstandings, Dick runs for his life, Alfred is a BAMF operator, Robin publicly punches Superman, and Bruce rains the fury of a righteous & protective Batdad down onto Clark Kent's head.

Never even CONSIDERED that Clark's introduction to Dick might be a negative one. This was fascinating, and Bruce being protective and wholly unforgiving of harm to his child is top tier.

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
They’ve been working it out slowly in the two months since that awful night—it being something romantic, something that’s quite frankly more than dating, yet not all that different in shape from what existed before.
Point is, as much as Charles loves Crystal, a little time just for him and Edwin had sounded…nice. And probably needed. Except now she won’t be back until Thursday.
Which is fine. Totally fine. No outside rescue just means that they have to save themselves, that they have to figure this out solo—the two of them against the world, just like old times.
Nothing ever went wrong back then.
***
In which a case goes wrong, the boys have an awful time, and - for Christ's sake - there aren't enough blades around for us both to fall on our sword, Charles.

“It’s fine, Jason,” Dick says. “Chill out. I’m a grown adult, it’s not like Slade’s bothering a teenager anymore. It’s enrichment for me. I get a little shot of adrenaline and a bug treasure hunt. Sometimes he even makes me coffee.”
“And you drink it?”
“Well, yeah. It’s my fucking coffee, I’m not going to waste it.”
“I’m going to kill him,” Jason decides aloud. “Next time I see that man, I’m gonna kill him.”
“No, Jason, do not,” Dick says in the same tone Jason uses to tell his dog not to chew on his boots.

Summary
“Alright, listen,” Charles said, after trying not to think at all for at least five minutes. “Hear me out.”
“Any ideas?” Edwin asked, not looking up from his page.
“It’s just. What would actually happen if you cut my hand off?”
Edwin jerked his head up so fast, Charles wondered that he didn’t brain himself against the stone wall. He looked more offended than he had when he found out about the live snake in Charles’ bag.
“What the hell kind of a question is that?” He hissed.
“I’m not saying we should do it!” Charles backpedaled. “I’m just curious! These cuffs make us proper solid, don’t they? We could probably lop it off and get me out.”
“No,” said Edwin emphatically. “We are not discussing this. I don’t want you getting any ideas and chewing your own arm off like a trapped weasel.”
“Not my whole arm, just my hand.”
