Summary
One moment, Richard was standing in his home; the next, the floorboards under his feet melted and he was plunged into murky darkness, his limbs trapped in liquid cement, slow and weak as he struggled to reorient himself.
Then, an invisible string wound itself around the bones of his ribcage, threading through the gaps, securing its grip on his chest, and pulled. He could almost see the thread, thin and glinting silver, as he was dragged into oblivion, the muffled roaring of wind ringing in his ears.
Richard’s eyes cracked open to the familiar sight of a giant owl sculpture. It loomed over him, water trickling from its downturned beak and down into the basin by its feet.

So, you see, Dick Grayson doesn’t die. He can’t even keep his trap shut, let alone lie still in a place that has far from enough room for the sheer energy he’s always brimming with.

Summary
There’s something wrong with Dick.
Tim thought everything was getting back to normal. Bruce was alive and back in their timeline, the Birds of Prey were once again operating out of Gotham, Dick had the city well under control as Batman and even Damian had been less obnoxious than usual.
And then during a firefight at a warehouse by the docks, Tim was almost hit by a flying boomerang. And Dick never noticed.

Summary
“I—” Tim recalibrated. Desperately, he scanned Dick’s face—his features blurred over, a wall of nothing; Tim chipped away: “You were a kid, who’ll blame a kid? They won’t hurt anyone again. If you want to, to, to talk to anyone—but it was a long time ago, you’re Nightwing now—”
Tuesday morning: a video was uploaded to one of the deep web black markets. The footage, shot on those grainy vintage camcorders. But Tim knew that boy in the thumbnail; his eyes had memorized him, the heft and shape and dazzle of him, imprinting like an afterimage.
Or: a brother is a witness; there's your tragedy.

Summary
Dick rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m mostly used to sparring with my little brothers, it’s kind of just habit, and I was having fun. I didn’t want the match to be over too quick.”
“Too quick?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised. “I’m twice your size, kid.”
Dick shrugged. “So’s Bruce and we’re pretty much tied at this point, or at least according to the score board the kids started to keep for Saturday spars.”
“Saturday spars?” Derek repeated, following him towards the locker room.
Dick flashed him a smile. “What? Don’t have any weird family traditions?”
“Not ones that include hitting each other,” Derek said
