When Dick Grayson accidentally portals into the past, he finds himself on the Justice League’s Watchtower surrounded by younger versions of the original members of the Justice League...including Batman.

What a perfect opportunity to create a little chaos...while also trying not to break the timestream.

What Happened to You? by NocturnalAnomaly

Summary
”Evening, acrobat,” Barbara greeted, her voice dry but laced with warmth. The grainy connection did nothing to blunt the edge of her smile. “What happened to you, Romeo? Try flirting with someone who can actually throw a punch?”
Dick’s grin snapped on like a reflex. He tilted his head, let his hair fall just so, and winked into the webcam. The movement jarred his still-healing shoulder and ribs, bandaged and stiff, and made his head throb. He was probably concussed. Only lightly… maybe.
“You know me. Can’t resist a challenge.” The line landed too easily, too smooth. He leaned back a little, hoping Barbara didn’t notice the slight sway that followed. “Besides, you should see the other guy. Real charmer. I’d have asked for his number if he hadn’t been trying to cave my skull in.”
Barbara arched an eyebrow. Even distorted by pixels, her expression carried unimpressed precision. “Uh-huh.”
OR:
Five times Dick avoided answering the question "What happened to you?", and the one time he broke down.

Summary
Jason wasn’t all that happy about spending his night cleaning up someone else’s mess, and usually, he wouldn’t bother. Especially messes that forced him to work with the Bats. Especially messes that his predecessor got himself into. But as it was… well, Tim never called him. Never directly, anyway. And never unless it was important.
...
Or
Dick disappears in the middle of patrol one night, and all they manage to turn up is his dead body and no leads.
So when Dick Grayson, significantly more dead than before, shows up on Jason's doorstep, he's at a bit of a loss.
Talon!Dick Grayson meets the Outlaws fic.

How to Become a Dad: Danny's Guide to Adopting Kids (ABANDONED) by Tiid
Fandoms: Danny Phantom, Batman - All Media Types, Flashpoint (Comics)

Tags
Summary
!ABANDONED!
If you would’ve asked 20 year old Danny what he planned on doing in the next ten or so years, he’d probably say something like “finish college” or “get the Ghost King bullcrap over with as soon as possible”.
Guess thing's didn't go as planed.
Or
A slice-of-life, family fluff fic, where Danny takes care (and co-parents) some of the Bats, before they were Bats. And just maybe, falls in love.

Summary
Dick Grayson is like a porcelain vase, teetering at the edge of a table. He's just waiting for someone to give him one last push. Except they don't, they pull him back. And it isn't the bats.
Dickie makes some new friends, and THEN the waynes realize how awful he's had it.
AND
The bats find Dicks diary, and are mildly horrified to say the least. (He's been writing scary poems)
'Bruce would never forgive him. Not like he forgave Jason. And Tim? He could never be as smart as Tim, as reliable as Tim, he would never be adopted faster than the flip of a switch.
He could never talk to Bruce the way Steph did, never talk to Batman the way Steph did. Never be so unbothered and flippant, so secure in himself.
He could never be like Cass, someone the Bruce actually relied on, more than that, actually listened to, and trusted. It had been so long since Bruce had listened to him.
And, what had haunted him forever, plagued him like a poison he hated to admit. He could never be Bruce's son. '

Summary
Too far away to make out details, but unmistakably him, was Bruce. Dick threw himself forward, scream building up in his throat. Slade twisted Dick’s arm behind his back, pushing it higher until Dick was sure his shoulder would dislocate, pain stealing the breath from his lungs.
“Make a sound, and I will string you up from your neck for the rest of the night,” Slade threatened. “Keep watching.”Series

The BAU is No Place for a Bat by Rosie_the_Fanfic_Reader

Summary
She sighs again, “you and that damn hero complex.”
Dick shoots her a grin, “is it a complex if I actually am a hero?”
**
The BAU gets a new recruit. he's young, charming, and all of his answers lead to more questions.
It's one bat vs. six of the best profilers in the world and the second best tech goddess in history so it's really anyone's guess whether Dick Grayson will learn all their secrets before they learn his.
It's okay, though, he only has to last long enough to either keep Emily Prentiss alive or figure out if she's working with a mass terrorist.

Summary
Cat really had a hold on him--whether he was actually by her side or not. Dick's just traumatized as fuck here (excuse my inability to write summaries)
inspired by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles song "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" but tbh I was listening to the Beatles cover

Summary
It started with the letters.
Pink slips were starch against bills and junk mail, showing up one day and continuing with a new one every week. Sweet words of admiration spelt in neat cursive, their writings of reverence only just held back from being declarations of something stronger.
Kind, precious, he brightened every room graced with his presence. Voice a silk song, it held captive its audience of fortunate listeners helpless in the face of true purity.
No situation was out of his control, and there was no hurt that could not be cured by his delicate touch. Beauty, a sense of unparalleled attraction in opposition to bleeding rot, found purpose only when it discovered him.
Dick Grayson, they read, My Heart.
