Summary
Tensions in the Batfamily are razor-sharp as Damian’s sixteenth birthday looms. Tim Drake is unraveling—haunted by memories of the brutal “test” Bruce once put him through, convinced history is about to repeat itself. His paranoia coils around him like a vice, tightening with each passing day.
Damian feels the weight of Tim’s relentless scrutiny and bristles, his usual arrogance laced with something darker—uncertainty, maybe even fear. The unease spreads like wildfire. Dick grows wary. Jason watches from the sidelines, arms crossed, ready for a fight.
The family fractures under the pressure, each of them sensing danger but unable to name it. Then Steph—fed up, furious—drags them all into a room and forces the truth into the open. But no one is prepared for what spills out.

Summary
His brothers don’t want to see him. No one does. Not after Spyral. Not after the lies. And Dick wants to scream that it’s not his fault; it never was. But he can’t.
So he doesn’t. He’ll be fine alone anyway.
OR: Post-Spyral. Secrets are revealed. Traumas are addressed. No-one is happy.

look back in anger by vechter

Summary
Dick and Bruce are like this:
Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.Their story has always been radioactive.
A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

Summary
“If you didn’t die, then I didn’t die,” Stephanie says, suddenly and quietly.
Now, Dick turns his body fully to face her. His knee touches hers. He reaches a hand out toward her shoulder, but doesn’t move that final inch.
She shifts so his hand fits warmly in place. She doesn’t look at him.
“Leslie said your heart stopped,” he says.
She has a rueful smile on her face, sardonic and sour.
“And B said yours stopped,” she returns.
Stephanie and Dick died. They (start to) deal with that.

OKAY IT'S GOOD but also no satisfaction in the end? Like Dick and Bruce hugged it out but the bats (except best boi Dami) haven't forgiven him yet or even know the truth, and the league eavesdropped but no reaction
Like the potential is all here and it's so great but I'm left wanting.

Spare Key by AceOfDivineChlorophyll
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)

Tags
Summary
Really, it was supposed to be the perfect place to hide out for the night. With an Arkham breakout going on and him already nursing injuries it wasn't like he would be out and about anyway, and it wasn't like Dick ever used this particular safehouse so there was little chance Nightwing would run across the still unknown but dangerous Red Hood. Honestly, Jason was somewhat impressed he still had it, and that the spare key was right where Dick had promised a young robin he didn't even like.
He was less impressed to find out that he was wrong, and that Dick did still use this safehouse. He was even less impressed to find out that the safehouse was more to hide from his family and friends.

Too bad Slade finds (and takes) him first.

Summary
Jason wanted to know everything and nothing all at once. He wanted to hug his brother and shake him, to cry and fight, to scream and brood, to throw things and shoot something, take a nap and read a novel. He wanted…he wanted - he just wanted things to be better. Dick deserved better.
Six times the Bats learn something new about Dick's childhood while coping with post-Spyral revelations and one time they talk about it.

Summary
“Where’s your bike?” Jason interrupted. “We can head back to the cave together.”
Well, that was…confusing, among other things. Dick just managed to stop himself from blurting out any of his surprise - at the fact Jason was going back to the cave at all and at the fact he wanted to go together - and say instead, “Sorry, no can do. I’ve got a few other things lined up for tonight.”
Or: When an injured Dick refuses to go back to the cave, Jason takes matters into his own hands. They have more arguments than breakthroughs, but it's a start.

Summary
It started slow, usually.
The headaches. It was the tiredness that preceded everything else — his body preparing for the onslaught of pain that’d last him for a day. Usually, he texted Bruce when a headache would take him out for the count, but… Spryal still left some untended, gaping wounds in his fragile chest, the size of Bruce’s relentless fists. Bruce didn’t know his routine, Bruce didn’t deserve to know his routine — let alone when he was at his most vulnerable.
OR;
Dick Grayson experiences a medical emergency without anybody knowing until it's almost too late.

dick is a collector of batman’s worst moments and of bruce’s greatest and worst achievements; he remembers too much to be allowed leniency or love of any naked kind, and yet bruce asks him to keep hold of it, to bury it, and to continue without a sweat.

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.
