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.

Summary
——Dick’s eyes met with the other that he realized how dense the atmosphere was. The void-like eyes that sucked him in had a look he could never decipher and won’t no matter how many times he has seen it directed towards him.
“Please correct me if I’m gathering all of this wrong, Dick.” Katavi’s voice filled that silence and replaced it with something more unknown. A chill crashed through his joints, his movements rendered useless as he felt a pull from the therapist that sat unmoving until he pushed his glasses up slightly.
“…it appears to me that you are lacking something within yourself. A sense of identity in a way that if I put a mirror up to your face and ask you who you see, you would say every name except your own. You don’t see yourself as a person, perhaps more like an acting number, a performance. These identities, costumes and everything has taken pieces of you until nothing resembles who you are or who you once were. You lost Dick Grayson and rather,”

Summary
"What do you mean Grayson is gone?" Damian pressed.
"He just, vanished. Okay?" Her voice broke. "The camera outside the warehouse he entered caught the flash of light that lit up Gotham's skies and caused the power outage." Bab's voice grew thicker, "His tracker went offline. Dick pressed his emergency beacon seven minutes and forty two seconds before then."
"And we just ignored it..." Tim finished off, his words like a punch to the gut.
Dick placed the shiny, pristine bird-like mask on his desk near a small stack of paperwork and took off the hood. Rubbing his eyes, he peered into the mirror: hair dull and crisp from dried sweat, a light pink dusted his cheeks - it had to have been more prominent thirty minutes before, and the pale hooded cape that had gotten dirtied while teaching trainees. Dick frowned, picking at the coven sigil broach sewn into the front of his uniform.
He will bide his time here, just until he can go home.
(This fic is roughly inspired by the song "Who Are You Really" by Mikky Ekko)

Summary
After Spyral, after the lies, after the blood he spilled for them—for Bruce—he came back to a world that spat him out. The heroes who used to smile at him now glared. The villains laughed, calling him "Bruce’s little spy toy." The Batfamily? Silent. Cold. Even Alfred turned away.
And then…
"I love you… you love me…"
"We're a happy family…" -

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.

Summary
Running away from your problems is never the solution, but maybe this wasn’t running away. Maybe it was removing himself from the family that he hurt with his “death”. Who he couldn’t continue to burden, especially with something like this. Maybe this type of cancer wasn’t a death sentence, but it definitely would make them feel obligated to care about him again. And as much as he wanted to go home, he didn’t want the reason to be out of obligation and not love.
He’d always wanted to visit Maine anyway.
Or
Dick Grayson was diagnosed shortly after he came back from Spyral. His family is still angry, and he's alone dealing with Leukemia. This was his punishment. Dying all alone, his body killing itself.
But maybe it's not. Because maybe the Coopers are exactly the people he needs to support him, and help him find his way back home. -

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.
