Summary
“How do you do that?” she asks, trying not to sound accusatory. “You just — know, if I’m calling about something stupid, or if I want to talk. Even before I’ve said anything.”
“I’m not sure.” And then, after a beat, clearly the result of the particular hesitation that colors everyone’s voice, when they bring up a past they’re not certain Donna remembers. “It’s been that way for a while.”

Summary
Aside from that, he thinks mother and Grayson are quite alike. Though, he’s increasingly unsure if that observation is grounded in reality, or if he just misses mother more than he ever thought possible. More than he ever thought he would have to.

Summary
It’s been one of those days — the headlines are sounding particularly apocalyptic, the only appearance of the sun was brief, still half-shrouded in vapors, and nobody she loves is telling her the whole truth of what’s weighing on them. If she stays home tonight, she’s just going to stare at her phone, in the dark, on the floor, with the slowly dwindling hope that it might buzz.

Summary
Donna pauses, and, apparently unable to help herself, angles him a look that lasts a little longer than he’d like it to. “Dick,” she says, lips pressed in a frown. “You haven’t even called him?”
“I’m going over there in a few hours.”
“He’d like it if you called.”
“I texted.” He pauses, giving her an additional moment to absolve him. Unsettling that she doesn't. “It’s fine, he knows I’m busy.”

Summary
The scene goes sideways, slides into something else. Something real, Roy’s memory. Dick and Donna, tucked together in the corner of a crowded room, their heads bowed together, their knees touching. Dick brushes Donna’s hair off her shoulder. Donna laughs at something he says. In Roy’s mind, there’s – a brighter, glowing color that seems to coalesce around them. Maybe it’s a bubble. Maybe it’s a halo.
Roy’s skin is cold, several feet away, but his lips still shape a smile as he watches them. A private, unseen thing.

Or, Pacific Rim AU where Donna was Dick's copilot until she died on a shared mission. Dick goes into retirement, Roy drags him out of it.

Summary
There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and that Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.
Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.

Summary
Dinah doesn't even know what the woman looks like. The only piece of Oracle she has is that voice, and meanwhile Oracle has probably dug up secrets Dinah didn’t even know she was keeping. It's something she tries not to think about, and ends up thinking about too much, rolling it over and over in her mind like a loose molar, a little painful, a little dizzying.
