Summary
Dick kept his eyes on Bruce. “And what does this have to do with me?”
“You’ll be going undercover. Back in.”
Dick blinked. “Back where?”
“The Olympics.”
***
or, three years after winning gold, Dick thought he’d left the mat for good... until the Justice League sends him back to the Olympics as himself for a mission.

Summary
“We’re not like Tim or Damian,” Jason said quietly. “Our parents didn’t have a last name that meant money or power. Neither of us had a silver spoon shoved in our mouth until we arrived at that mansion.”
Jason held Dick’s gaze. “Biologically,” he said. “We’re trash.”
--
Twenty years ago, Dick attended his first gala; a glorious, glittering affair that left his eight-year-old self wide-eyed and slack-jawed. Becoming a permanent fixture of Gotham Society was certainly an adjustment, especially for a circus kid whose performer’s smile was brittle with grief. But Dick was nothing if not a survivor. He soon learned that he could dazzle his audience with a smile and a quick quip just as well as he could with a trapeze.
And, sure, Bruce had always told him to be careful. To keep a watchful eye on his drink, and not to stray too far from Bruce’s side. But Bruce was overprotective, and Dick wasn’t a kid anymore. He didn’t need to fear Gotham’s elite because there was nothing to fear.
Besides, they were his friends…

Summary
Dick didn't particularly care about his presence at first, until it became evident the Batman was becoming a nuisance. It's not like the guy was evil, no, Dick's problem with him is the fact that more and more people are getting hurt as casualties of whatever war the Batman's waged with Gotham's rogues.
Or: Dick Grayson is an EMT. He hates the Batman.

Summary
"You’ve never taken pity on any other orphaned mortal before.” Clark questioned. “What makes this one special?”
“He needed me.” Bruce replied, softly.
“Is this because Diana suggested you were incapable of caring for a pet?” Clark teased, lowering his voice as he leaned toward Bruce's ear.
Bruce’s face flushed, and a crease of annoyance formed on his brow. “I took offense to her claim.”

Summary
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.
But none of them have any idea who Nightwing (or even Robin) is.
What a perfect opportunity to create a little chaos...while also trying not to break the timestream.

Summary
Richard (Dick) John Grayson had always known he was a half-blood.
Well, more like one-third-blood since John Grayson had also been involved in his conception, but semantics.
Or… Dick Grayson is a Son of Zephyros and this is his story.
Rated T for language.

Summary
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)

Summary
Damian Al-Ghul Wayne had everything at one point. He was a prince. Ibn al Xu'ffasch. Son of the bat. Heir to the demon.
He had never asked to be ripped away from everything that he knew, from the warmth of his home, his culture, his palace in Nanda Parbat. He had never asked to be shipped to a gloomy, grey city.
Even when his father kept taking in orphans and ruining his plans for inheritance, Damian stood steadfast.
But then his father died, leaving behind his newest orphan.
A tiny acrobat with watery blue eyes and black curls, who spoke no English. Damian knew the boy never asked to be ripped away from everything that he knew, from the warmth of his home, his culture, his circus troupe.
Damian knew he needed to be there for him.

Summary
“Sorry" Jason whispers.
Talon cocks its head to the side as Jason makes a weak pleading little cheep, immediately turning its attention to the owlet, burying the hatchling in its chest with a low coo, preening the black curls gently as Jason sniffs and clings on.
"Owlet not sorry" Talon snaps, a little forcefully as its hatchling’s snotty nose presses against its neck. It doesn't think the words come out quite right but Jason trills weakly and it seems like he understands.
"Why owlet hurt" it says slower, making sure to get the sentence right as Jason presses closer. "I dunno Dickie, always hurts" the owlet murmurs "I- usually I can ignore it but s-sometimes it gets bad. Hurts a lot."
OR
After rescuing Jason off the streets Dick tries to understand why his owlet is in so much pain and does his best to take care of the hatchling with limited resources.

Summary
Bruce tensed. It was small, imperceptible enough that most wouldn’t pick it up. Dick saw it coming a mile away. “You’re supposed to be taking down a smuggling ring in Tricorner.”
“Yeah, that’s exactly where you want me, isn’t it?” Jason's voice was calm, deceptively slow. Then it flipped on a dime, transforming into a cracking scream. “‘Cause if I was there, I wouldn’t have to see you put my brother in the fucking Pit!”
Pit. The Pit. The Lazarus Pit, noxious and intoxicating and everything Dick had spent years trying to forget, even as Jason showed up on his doorstep, unprompted, near tears, needing someone, anyone, to listen to his butchered, incomplete descriptions on what it was like to live drowning.
It melts you, he’d said once, wrapped in a blanket Dick didn’t remember owning. Brings you to your bare parts and builds you back up in a new form, again and again, until you forget that you ever used to be anything else. But it’s so cold, at the same time.
Dick didn’t feel cold or hot or angry or insane. He – didn’t feel anything, despite the heaving cries that choked him even now.
or, Dick dies. He gets better, but the Pit always has a cost.

TW: Abuse
“I’m not asking you to make Damian give up Robin, I’m only telling you that you need to stop raising child soldiers! Is that all we are to you?! Pawns in your screwed up fucking mission? You don’t deserve to call yourself a father, in fact, you don’t even deserve to call yourself human you-!”
Bruce’s fist makes a resounding crack! as it hits Dick’s face. He topples to the ground, and is left to stare up at Bruce while the man towers over him.
“You have no right to have any say in how I parent my sons. Or have you forgotten that you’re not even one of them?”

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream Radio Play by WisdomofToads

Summary
I transcribed the entire BBC radio play of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream since I couldn't find a script anywhere. I added some stage directions/audio queues but probably not as many as there should be. The format might be a little sloppy, but y'all can fix that in your own typeset. The play's free on Youtube for anyone that wants to listen to it.

Summary
Jason came back from the dead, and now he’s a walking paranormal event. Cold aura, glitchy tech, spooky room, occasional object levitation—it’s a whole thing. The family’s mildly alarmed but mostly just roasting him for being the undead roommate from hell.
Everyone except Dick.
Dick’s just thrilled Jason’s alive again. Glowing eyes? Relatable. Breathing optional? Same. Haunted bedroom? Bit dramatic, but okay. Dick doesn’t see the problem, which is confusing, because everyone else is one ghost-hiccup away from calling Constantine.
To be fair, Dick is a god in a human body—he just doesn’t talk about it. Mostly because he forgot, kind of on purpose. Besides, he’s busy showing Jason TikToks and ignoring the nausea-inducing ghost energy leaking from the walls.
Everything’s fine.
Probably.

Summary
(Still, Percy swallows, following her eyes out to the horizon. "I don't understand. I don't understand why I'm here," he tells her.
Through a slow sigh, Athena counters, "Some things don't need to be understood. They just need to happen.”)
Rescued from death by the hands of Athena, Percy finds himself wandering through ancient Greece without a true destination. Within time, he learns that the borders of Ithaca hold more than he could have ever imagined.
When he and a war-torn Odysseus are pulled far away from the kingdom, thrown back into a test by the Gods, only two questions remain: will they be able to work together to get home, and what will they give to get there?
