    Summary

    Dick fell into greedy, desperate sleep huddled in the dubious shelter of a damaged warehouse, in a horrific apocalyptic future. He wakes 20 years in the past, where his loved ones are alive and well.

    Slade may have failed in protecting his husband, but he’d sure as hell avenged him. And then he’d reset the universe. As far as Slade was concerned, there was no point to any future without Dick in it.

    Together, they might be able build a better life - for everyone.

    Summary

    “Move, or I’ll make you.”

    There is a deadly seriousness in Jason’s voice, and Dick’s heart is aching. He can’t help but see the dichotomy between the man he loves and the man that his lover can be.

    “Don’t do this, Hood,” Dick pleads.

    Summary

    “Oh,” the kid says, head turning to look back at the bathroom. “It’s fine. I’ve got it figured out.”

    Dick’s face pulls to a pinched expression, shaking his head slowly. “As much as I’d love to believe you, I can’t. That stuff can’t just be emptied down the drain.”

    The kid’s own face scrunches this time. “Why not?”

    Jason has a feeling this kid doesn’t remember quite as much of his experience in the pit as Jason did himself. With a sudden jolt, Jason realizes this kid might not know he’s dead.

    Great.

    Summary

    Nightwing is no stranger to danger, but when a routine patrol goes sideways, he finds himself dosed with something far more dangerous than a simple toxin. Poison Ivy’s latest trick doesn’t just weaken him—it burns through his system, clouding his thoughts, slowing his reflexes, and leaving him on the edge of collapse.

    Determined to handle it alone, he pushes forward, refusing to call for help. But when he barely makes it back to the manor in one piece, Jason takes one look at him and knows something is very, very wrong. The worst part? The only person Dick keeps mumbling for in his fevered state isn’t even in Gotham.

    Enter Wally West.

    With time running out and Ivy’s influence sinking deeper into Dick’s body, Wally has two options: help his best friend and crush ride out the effects or risk losing him altogether.

    And considering what kind of pollen Ivy used… things could be about to get really awkward.

    Summary

    Blüdhaven is gone.

    And so is the man Dick used to be. The Court of Owls found him in the wreckage and turned what was left into a weapon. Even after the Court fell, their claws stayed buried deep. Dick wears the right masks—Nightwing, dutiful son, loyal soldier—but underneath, he’s something else.

    He swore he could keep the two lives separate. He almost believed it. Until he found Wally West—lost in Gotham, hurting, stubborn, good. Until Wally looked at him—not as Dick, not as Nightwing—but as something new. Something dangerous. And smiled anyway.

    Wally doesn’t recognize him. He doesn’t know that the hands he trusts, the mouth he kisses, the shadows he falls into—all belong to someone who already betrayed him.

    Dick tells himself he should let him go. That Wally deserves better. That loving him like this—lying to him like this—is a cruelty even the Court would envy.

    But Dick is too far gone. Too broken to stop.

    He can’t have Wally as the man he was.

    But maybe, in the dark, behind a different mask, he can still hold onto him.

    Even if it means becoming the thing he swore he’d never be.
