Summary
"It’d been a long time since the catacombs. Cass had been there, she’d saved him, he knew that.
But in the rush of everything that came after that night, he hadn’t exactly had an opportunity to think about it. Hadn’t wanted to process any of it.
The whole thing had been shoved into the back of his brain and locked up tight.
Now, it was like everything was throwing itself against the chains in protest, begging him to think and feel and remember, and he couldn’t do it. He couldn’t."
Or

Summary
When Dick is captured and forced to turn into his wolf form, he doesn't think there could be anything worse than having such an intimate thing used against him—the humiliation doesn't help, either. But the little boy being brought into the room could be his chance at escape—if the boy weren't so terrified of Dick, that is.

Summary
Reverse Robins: Damian finds Dick after Tarantula takes him to a motel for a few weeks post-Blockbuster. They get through the aftermath together.
_____________________________
Dick isn't sure how long he's been staring at this grey wall.
He isn't even sure how long it has been since he'd been brought here, or since She had taken his clothes…somewhere.
Or where exactly “here” even is.
Or where She had gone and for how long.
All he knows is that the wall is his friend.
It's safe.

Summary
The girl and magic staff were nowhere to be seen, instead a fine layer of blue, shimmering dust covered the ground. In the center, where Red Hood and Nightwing should have been, was what looked like a pile of yellow and black fabric until it started shifting and moving, revealing itself to be two human forms.
Tim stopped dead in his tracks, nearly slipping in the dust, causing Robin — who was apparently right behind him — to crash into his back.
Robin mumbled a few curse words directed at him, but stopped short when he saw what was in front of them.
It was two young boys, both with messy black hair, both covered in a fine layer of glittering blue dust, and both wearing the old Robin costume. It was Dick's design, the brighter one, closer in color to what the Flying Graysons had worn, and with a startling lack of pants. But it was the one that Jason had worn too.
...
Or, Dick and Jason get de-aged by some magic, assumptions are made, and those assumptions are very, very wrong.

Summary
There’s a small half-moon of blood under the white of Tim’s nail where he bent it. He studies the red of it, feeling foggy and dreamlike. “Can I ask you a question?”
His brother’s eyes flick to him and away again, surprised and wary. “What?”
His nail doesn’t hurt much, just the dullest of aches when he presses down against it. “When you were homeless, you slept with people for money, didn’t you?”
Jason jerks like he’s been slapped. His knuckles are so pale where they grip the steering wheel they suddenly look more bone than flesh. “Did I -”
“Was it worth it?” Tim asks, drifting like a cloud over whatever furious reaction Jason was about to give him. “The money, I mean.”
His sternum slams into the seatbelt with bruising force. Unbraced for it, his head whips forward and back against his seat as they swerve off the road again and skid to a halt with a screech of rubber.

Summary
“Here,” Jason says, passing the tray over to Damian. “Go bring Dick this.”
Damian redirects his scowl, but the furrow in his brow looks more curious than angry now. “What is it?”
“Papanasi,” he answers. “It’s, uh. It’s something his family used to make.”
Damian accepts the tray, holding it as carefully as he would delicate electronics. “And this will…make him happy?”
He doesn’t laugh at him. “Nah, kid,” he says wearily. “He’s not going to be happy until he knows his family is safe. But it’ll help.”
The smaller boy clambers down from the stool, taking care not to drop the dessert as he does. He hesitates on his way out of the kitchen. “I…am looking forward to Drake’s safe return,” he says.
Jason snorts. “For Grayson’s sake, yeah, yeah.”
“Yes,” he says, shifting on his feet. “For Grayson’s sake.” Another beat, and finally he pads out of the room, very seriously balancing the tray that looks ridiculously large in his small arms.
***
The ransom call comes the following morning.

Summary
“Tony,” Tony says, “Stark.” He watches the kid’s face for any hint of recognition but there’s none.
“Hence why those guys want you to build a Stark missile.”
“Right.”
The kid snorts, “what, do you work in R&D at your own company?” When Tony just gives him a blank look he clears his throat, “nevermind. So if you can build a missile I bet you can figure out a way to get us out of here.”
Tony sighs, turning his face away. He’s so tired. “I can’t build them that weapon, kid.”
Now it’s the kid’s turn to look confused. “Then build something else,” he says simply.
**
Or, AU where Dick Grayson has an unfortunate run in with a wizard in Gotham City and finds himself tossed across the multiverse to a cave in Afghanistan with a billionaire who hasn't gone through his self-improvement journey yet.

Summary
“Batman,” Dick stresses quietly, trying to telepathically convey his desperation. “Please.”
Either it sails right over Bruce’s head, or he’s too determined to stop the violence to pass up on the help. “I understand that the two of you have a past, but personal hang-ups have no place on the field. Tarantula has intel that would take us days to acquire on our own. Unless you have a real, justifiable reason for shutting her out, we’re keeping her on the case. At least until we have the situation under control. Am I understood?”
Biting his tongue until he tastes blood, Dick nods.
(AKA the fic where Dick is forced to deal with Tarantula again and finally confront the trauma that's been eating him alive since the assault)

Summary
Barbara had always known Dick’s reaction time was quicker than most. Whenever she brought it up he shrugged it off, claiming it came from a combination of being an acrobat from a young age and Batman’s training. But it was more than that.
Cass would keep watching until she found out what it was that her brother was hiding.
Steph knew there was something up with Dick. Well, not up in the sense that anything was different, but he was always different than the rest of them.
or
Everybody has noticed that Dick Grayson is different, yet they have no clue how he is different.

Summary
Damian isn't sure if he'll ever fill his father's shoes. Not as Batman, a mantle which he once coveted and now wants nothing to do with, or as Richard Grayson's legal guardian. But with his father dead, he has no choice but to step up. It's not like Tim - busy searching for a way to bring Bruce back - or Jason - Crime Alley's infamous Red Hood - are going to look after the boy. He wishes he could ask his father for advice. It's not like he's got a wealth of responsible parental figures in his life to turn to when he needs a helping hand, and Richard is definitely a handful.
Like right now, for instance: he just will not stop poking that magical artefact they're supposed to be watching for Zatanna!
It'll be fine, right?
OR: a Reverse Robins AU in which older sibling Damian and younger sibling Dick accidentally travel to a universe where their ages are reversed, Bruce and Alfred are still alive, and a shocking amount of things are still the same.

Summary
And judging by what’s going on in front of him, it’s a real fucking emergency.
Damian is on his hands and knees on the dock, retching up what appears to be half of Gotham Harbour. Tim is beside him, clapping him hard on the back, keeping him steady when his elbows threaten to give out. They both seem to notice his and Wally’s presence at the same time.
“O, patch the Flash into our comms,” Tim says, and then, “Dick, we can’t find Bruce.”

Summary
A magical something-or-other pulls Mary and John Grayson from their final performance, mid-fall, and spits them out into a grungy alley with no idea how they got there, much less why they're there now.
And to make matters worse, Dick is nowhere to be found.
Written for the Batman Bingo 2020 prompt: "Time Travel." Heavily inspired by the song of the same title.
