    Summary

    It was four hours until the break of dawn, and while full moon was high in the sky, it’s silver gleam barely penetrated the inside of the edifice. Most of its windows were purposefully designed to keep the light out, after all. Careful not to let his footsteps echo, Batman walked past the entrance hall and the visitor center, then turned left to go to the west wing. A long, dust-encrusted corridor with tiled floors that had never lined-up properly extended before him, its cracks resembling veins from which dried up sprouts grew, and then, deprived of any nourishment, withered. Though now hollow of its utilitarian grandeur, the walls were still too tall yet too claustrophobic, their deteriorating blankness forging grotesque monsters out of peeling paint and grime. They watched him. Judged him. And they found him wanting.

    When the Batcomputer picks up on strange readings coming from the abandoned Gotham City Youth Center, Batman must go investigate.

    Summary

    Suddenly, a beeping sound cut through Dick’s anecdote.

    “Master Richard,” he said. “You’ve been with us for twenty years. Certainly you know the rules about phones at the table.”

    “Sorry, Alfred,” Dick gave the man a boyish, sheepish grin. “In my defense, that particular rule was only implemented in my last year living here. And, really, we’re already—”

    Dick stopped as his gaze fell on his phone’s screen. His eyes widened, the smile falling from his face.

    “What?” It took all of Bruce’s will power not to take the phone from Dick’s hand and get the answer himself.

    “Oswald Loomis was discovered missing from his cell in Cook County Jail about two hours ago,” Dick said.

    OR

    When a villain from Dick's past escapes prison to come after him, bonds of trust within the Bat Family are tested.

    For the prompt: I want to see Bruce come to Dick's emotional defense.[...] It's Bruce, so I expect him to be honest and straightforward to the point of being an asshole about it. I don't mind a nuance approach to the situation overall, but I don't want Bruce to be nuanced about it. He's super biased - Team Dick all the way.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Very fascinating seeing dick being referred to as Batman right beside Bruce who as a character is being singularly being referred to by his own name in a world where both in text and out he has been synonymous with the title of Batman and seeing both Bruce not specifically grappling with that but acknowledging it and you as reader acknowledging it as it is is very cool (ignore how stupid this sounds i have not slept)

    It's what they do.

    They fight, they fuck, they're friends again.

    But God, it hurts. It burns. It aches.

    Summary

    “Why would you say that to me?”

    “I just… I wanted you to look at me. I shouldn’t have said that, I know you– I know you’ve worked too hard for something as little as breaking up with me to slingshot you back. I mean, not that we’re breaking up, because we weren’t together or anything, but… yeah.”

    Roy forces out a laugh that sounds more like a scoff, and leans back on his palms to stare at his shitty popcorn ceiling.

    “You're a fucking moron. And you’re lucky I didn't put my fist through your skull for saying that.”

    “You wouldn't do that .”

    “Not to you, no,” he concedes.

    ***
    Roy needs to break up with Dick. He's an inherently selfish man, but for once he knows that coveting the greatest man alive will only bring the both of them pain, and Dick doesn't deserve that.

    Dick makes it much harder than it needs to be.

    Unfortunately, Roy is nothing if not persistent. Even if, in the end, he wishes he'd just died instead.

    Summary

    That's the thing. Dick looked right at the kid, broken hand and all, and nearly let him in. He nearly let him train.

    Because after all these years, he didn't process anything wrong with the image before him.

    (Dick, Bruce, and the implications of raising a partner instead of a child.)
