  • To catch a thief Archived version by badraph - He's forced to realize that his mental picture of Jason has been seriously outdated for a while now.
  • Shadow of a Giant Archived version by brodmann - Dick and Jason try to work together in the wake of Bruce’s passing. It goes as well as Dick expects it to.
  • Take the Heat Out of Me by quipquipquip - Lost Days!Jason trolls Officer Grayson!Dick in Blüdhaven. Dick counter-trolls with the power of love. (It's super effective.)

  • holding on tight Archived version by Aoida_blue - Otherwise known as five times Jason and Dick held hands (and only one thing exploded)
  • another part of honesty Archived version by shipyrds - “Dick,” Jason says, but there’s none of his usual sarcasm in the name. His voice sounds flat, and a little dead, and then Dick realizes that Jason has his hands clenched around the arms of the console chair so hard his knuckles are white. He’s been watching some footage, something pulled up on the smaller monitor. Looks like the inside of the cave. Training footage? And then Dick gets closer, and realizes exactly what Jason’s been watching, and skids to a halt.

  • To be Tarnished Archived version by 002yb - “Bury me in a shallow grave this time,” Jason sneers, “I’ll be back for you.”“Not gonna bury you, little wing.” Dick tells him, “You’re going to live forever.”
