Summary
Week One.
It’s freezing.
Cold presses up against his cheek and shoulder. The cotton tee, sweatpants and polyester socks aren’t nearly enough to keep out the chill. He doesn’t want to be dramatic, but if his bones turned to ice, he wouldn’t be surprised. His shoulder aches, bruised and stiff. He’d roll over to the other one if it didn’t feel the exact same. He’s choosing the lesser evil, it would seem. There’s been a lot of that this week.
The shackle around his ankle is tight and uncomfortable, the chain attached to it even more so. Every time he so much as twitches, it clinks against itself. Dick’s backed himself into quite the corner. Pinned by his own stupidity and ego. It’s clear the Titans aren’t on par. They were never on par. Slade had been six steps ahead the whole time, and now— well. Now he has what he wants.
Dick shudders.
An apprentice. How had he missed that?
An obligatory apprentice spin

Summary
As its head twists, white lines blinking out of it, Dick knows what type of dream it’s going to be. The shadow-clad man, still wrapped in darkness, speaks. “Robin,” he murmurs. Dick flinches, his brain shredding itself into powder. Dick curls up tighter against the wall, shoulder digging into the concrete. He knows that voice. Sometimes he thinks he knows it better than his own. But the body doesn’t match the tone. Nothing about this feels like it should. If only Dick could pinpoint how.
Batman leans forward, white lenses glowing. His silhouette devours the room behind. His ears stretch unnaturally long. His cape engulfs the room. He doesn’t look human and certainly not safe.
The good ending for Growing Pains

Summary
“DON’T—!” The word tears from Tim’s throat, too late.
Wild magic slams into Nightwing dead-on, erupting in green light that swallows him whole.
When the light sputters and dies, it reveals his crumpled form. For a breath, the warehouse goes dead quiet.
The casters stare, eyes wide, as if they can’t believe they’d actually landed a hit.
Tiny Dick Grayson because it’s a classic
