Summary
Dick read the autopsy report.
He read it again and again, he went over all the details, all the supposed proofs of Jason’s death. He looked over the pictures, knowing they’d haunt him forever, even if Jason did turn out to be alive.
He hadn’t eaten, couldn’t remember when he’d last slept. Reality was no different from a nightmare, and that’s all he saw, no matter what position his eyelids were in.
OR Jason is dead, Dick can't believe it

Summary
After Spyral, Dick felt alone.
His actions and the events of the past year had isolated him. He couldn't go to the Team, to the Titans or to his family.
It was fine. He was fine.
He could handle his head alone. At the end of the day he was always alone.

Summary
“Wha—Where am I? What do you want?” He asked, pretending to be groggy from waking up.
“Well, Officer Grayson, you are the Red Hood’s dirty pig informant, so I’m betting there’s a lot I can get out of you.”
Dick resisted the urge to laugh, or explain himself. There wasn’t much to explain anyway, not without revealing secrets that he would rather die protecting. Instead, he forced his expression into something more like shock, and resignation, deciding to play this role to the end. He could feel the instincts of manipulation and deception settling back over him like a very familiar blanket. Playing spy for a while had given him the opportunity to hone those skills. If there was any beneficial thing that could be taken away from that whole experience, it was what good he could now do with the abilities he’d enhanced during that time.
OR Dick is forced to pretend to betray Jason in order to protect the Red Hood’s identity

Summary
Dick's learned a lot about trust during his time as a spy. Mostly, that he really shouldn't trust half the people he does.
Oh, well. If he didn't, he wouldn't be himself.

Summary
"Damian gave me a hug," Talon says casually, with a malicious glint in his eye that is so familiar to Dick by this point. "Arms around my waist and everything. Of his own volition! Such a sweet kid, huh?"
Dick doesn't respond, doesn't let himself react, instead staring blankly at the wall. He knows Talon just wants to rile him up, and it'll only get worse if he shows that it's getting to him. But it...it is getting to him.
Or: Earth 3 Richard Grayson, the right hand of Owlman, captures Dick and takes over his life...and no one notices.

Summary
Faking your own death as a bat was expected but one rule was always held sacred, you let the family know you were alive. When Dick broke that rule the damage was difficult to repair. Dick just wanted his family to be okay again. His siblings just want to trust their brother again.
Seriously this is 'Dick having a slow mental breakdown' the fic ending in him getting the hug he deserves.

Summary
Dick and Tiger needed a place to hide out, and while Tiger might not trust Midnighter, Dick knows there's almost nowhere safer than with a pair of superpowered metas who don't mind getting their hands dirty.
And if those superpowered metas happen to be good in bed then, well, that's just a happy coincidence.

Summary
"Hey, Dick, if I get mauled by the Devil, please don't cry over my corpse."
"What?"
"I don't want you touching me with your dead rat hands," Jason clarified.
Dick risked a glance away from the bushes, just to throw an incredulous look at him. "I poked it with a stick!"
After sightings of the Jersey Devil spike, Dick and Jason find themselves taking an impromptu overnight hike in one of the biggest forests in the contiguous United States.
Naturally, it doesn't go that well.

Summary
Dick Grayson is warm.
That’s probably the first thing you notice about him when you first meet. Not just in the “sunny personality and warm eyes” aspect, though it is true. But also in the literal meaning of the words.

Summary
—Amor, ¿qué diablos estás haciendo aquí? —pregunta John Constantine desde el techo bajo él, con el cigarrillo encendido en su mano. Zatanna le saluda, lanzando una fugaz sonrisa que se siente como un puñetazo en las entrañas. Cierto. Por supuesto. Magia. Jodido Bruce.
Dick se lanza de su conveniente gárgola con una voltereta y aterriza en cuclillas, silenciosamente, como siempre. No hay ninguna señal de movimiento por parte de la, probablemente malvada, bruja, así que Dick cree poder aventurarse a tener una conversación con la pareja. Dúo. Pareja romántica. Joder, es patético.

Summary
Dear Dami,
I’m sorry for leaving so abruptly. I wish I could’ve explained everything to you in person. But I’m afraid I’ll never follow through with this decision if I wait even a little bit more. So I’ll try to do it in this letter.Every person had a limit, a breaking point, even Dick Grayson. Too bad they had been blind to that until it was too late.

Summary
It started with a letter. Well… it didn’t really start with the letter, but last say the letter was a great eye opener for the whole situation they found themselves into. A situation that was months – possibly years– in the making.
I sincerely apologize for the abrupt timing of this announcement, however due to unforeseen circumstances and personal reasons, I have decided to resign.
He had left the keys and the letter addressed to the family with Alfred, after tea and a promise to meet his father/grandfather weekly on Gotham proper or on Bludhaven. He was sure Damian would show up to see him too. He had hidden another letter to his little Robin, inside his sketchbook.

Summary
Peter’s face goes impossibly redder, his cheeks burning a vibrant shade of maroon at this point. “You...you remember all of that?”
“How could I forget? All of us Titans had a bet on who you’d end up with - Of course, Troia and I both bet on MJ. Arsenal thought for sure you’d end up with Gwen. Guess I better tell them all who won,” smirks Dick.
“You placed bets?!” squeaks Peter.
The best kinds of friendships have their roots in shared ground, and Peter and Dick have more in common than just the rooftops of NYC.
