Summary
Dick’s head was tearing, splitting, breaking apart into two, no three. Who he was before, who he was then, who he was after, who he was when he had to be, who he is now.
OR
Dick Grayson is back from Spyral.
...is he though?
The Hypnos device is malfunctioning, and Dick's grasp on reality, and more importantly his self, is at risk.
(If only Jason Todd wasn't caught in the crossfire, if only love was enough-)

Summary
When Dick looked up to find the source, his heart dropped to his stomach. Pale, golden eyes stared back at him from the rafters. What the hell, Jason? This was not a fun challenge. Dick did what he always did. He rambled.
"Hey, dude, if you get down from there we can figure this out. We just want to know what’s going on."
Jesus, Dick, what the hell was that? He could practically hear Damian’s reprimand for that sorry attempt. Honestly, Grayson. It’s not an alley cat. You cannot baby talk at it until it concedes. You have to build rapport before interrogations.
The not-alley-cat gracefully jumped to the next ceiling beam and kicked the warehouse’s only lightbulb on its way. The bulb burst, tiny glass shards exploded out and littered the floor, and the room plunged into darkness.
Well shit.

Summary

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.
