    Summary

    FauxPause's Over Involved Meta Based Comments are being rehoused and revamped here. Each Chapter will be a Comment or Topic. I am open to requests both out in the wild (a comments section near you) and on any chapter here.

    Each of these will be based on canon citations (to be provided as images when available) and will contain personal interpretations and meta (meaning I'll step outside of the box of each comic to talk about what was happening in the year it was written, who did said writing, and how that's aged as time has gone on). I do consider these to be fan works so please do not report otherwise.

    Summary

    Scarecrow escaped Arkham and released a stronger strain of his fear toxin. In the ensuing scramble of fear affected Gotham citizens and the batfamily trying to ease the insanity, Nightwing's mask is knocked off... and every fear, regret and shred of guilt is unlocked from his buried memories.

    Based on numerous Epic the Musical Songs that I feel fits the trauma that Dick Grayson has faced, what he's buried, what he wanted people like his brother Jason to never learn about, what he wanted family and friends who have seen him struggle and shut down to never see that it still affects him and eats away at him, and the day that a woman took advantage of him in the worst way possible. When he was poisoned and unable to move and he's left wondering, is he the poison and the reason his life is in such disarray. He's not, but it's going to take the family he's kept in the dark to bring him back to the light.

    Trigger warning: This will have references to the canon rape that Dick Grayson went through, self harm and might be emotional to you.

    Summary

    It was so soothing, he almost could fall asleep…if not for the rain. He thought, somewhere in the back of his mind, that he might be dissociating right now. Dick’s eyes were locked on the TV, watching the same fireplace video, entranced by the flame’s dance.

    “I was almost married once,” he mumbled, relaxing at Donna’s gentle pets. Her hand stilled.

    ———

    In which Dick Grayson is having a great day and Donna Troy sees right through him.

    Summary

    Everything looked so overpoweringly green for a second then that he had to step away, face the wall, and put both his fists through it. Once. Twice. And only after the third time, when the pain began to focus him, could he return his attention to the man on the bed.
    He knew him. Hadn’t seen him out of the suit in years, and he looked different, but he knew him all the same — would always know him. And up until a minute ago he’d thought he hated him.
    He had wished him pain, and anguish, and death. But had never wished him this.

    Summary

    Summary

    “Well, well, well. Looks like I've finally found you again, mi amor.”

    The mocking voice made Dick freeze in terror, expected though it was. It was a voice that haunted his every nightmare, and when Dick looked up, he found its owner grinning down at him.

    Catalina Flores, captain of the fearsome pirate ship Telaraña and leader of the infamous Arachnid Pirates, among whom she was ‘lovingly’ known as Tarantula.

    Summary

    Dick and his journey with sex and sexuality. He's trying to win at "bad sexual experiences" bingo, but he doesn't know that yet.

    This is a companion piece/character study/prologue to the series so I chose to break the naming convention. It can be read as a stand alone, but the next fic picks up right where this one leaves off. Surprisingly not explicit!

    The Hold is a secret bank that serves Blüdhaven's top tier criminals.

    It's only been six months since Nightwing returned from Spyral and he's barely hanging on. With a family that hates him and allies that are just as likely to kill him as they are to help him, Dick Grayson has to hold it together long enough to protect Blüdhaven from a group of Blockbuster Gang survivors who are planning to rob the Hold.

    Summary

    “Batman,” Dick stresses quietly, trying to telepathically convey his desperation. “Please.”

    Either it sails right over Bruce’s head, or he’s too determined to stop the violence to pass up on the help. “I understand that the two of you have a past, but personal hang-ups have no place on the field. Tarantula has intel that would take us days to acquire on our own. Unless you have a real, justifiable reason for shutting her out, we’re keeping her on the case. At least until we have the situation under control. Am I understood?”

    Biting his tongue until he tastes blood, Dick nods. 

     

    (AKA the fic where Dick is forced to deal with Tarantula again and finally confront the trauma that's been eating him alive since the assault)

    Summary

    “I think you should be more worried about me,” Roland responded in a low, threatening rumble as he stepped forward again, a manic grin on his face. That wasn't his either. It kind of looked like the Joker’s. “We're–I'm right here,” his voice distorted for a half moment in a second low timbre, an echo of something familiar. Maybe he was stealing people's voices along with their mouths.

    Fear toxin is routine. They have antidotes, tolerance, and protocols, so while it's unpleasant, it’s bearable.

    It's when they retire into their beds at the end of the night that the fear really begins. After all, it was Seneca that said the mind can be crueler than reality.

    Summary

    For Whumptober 2025 prompts Ceremony and "Please don't cry."

    Dick and Catalina are getting married. Or are they? Not if Dick's family has any say in the matter!

    Snippet:
    "Dick," Cat hisses, elbow jabbing into his ribs.

    Her bony elbow hurts, but not as much as focusing does. He's been floating for a while—he's not sure exactly how long, but long enough for him to be in Vegas—and so to be forcibly made to focus is so overwhelming.

    "Huh?" he croaks, voice hoarse from disuse. He can't remember the last time he spoke. Surely he spoke at the airport? He must have done, for someone to let him on a plane. Right? The man across from him—Elvis—is looking at him quizzically. What was the question?

    "Do you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife?" The man asks again, looking between him and Cat.

    Wife?

    Summary

    Dick was stupid. He knew that, Jason had reminded him on many occasions of this particular fact but he never really thought he'd be this stupid. Bruce was gonna kill him. He got a tattoo....

    Summary

    Ever since he was a child, Dick Grayson has wanted to help others. That's why he created the Haven Community Center—a safety net for the people of Blüdhaven. But when children start disappearing one by one, what was meant to be a place of safety turns into a place of deceit and danger. As Dick dives deeper into the investigation, he’ll be tested like never before, forcing him to answer the question: What good is a safety net if it’s riddled with holes?
