Fanfiction
- 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catch a thief Archived version by badraph - He's forced to realize that his mental picture of Jason has been seriously outdated for a while now.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.)

- lovely bitter Archived version by yuer (vintageblueskies) - It aches, that hungry feeling dug deep behind Jason’s ribs.
- 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.
- funambulism Archived version by Mici (noharlembeat) - Talia has one last teacher before she funds Jason to return to Gotham, and that teacher has only one thing to teach him. Or that's what Jason thinks.
- Alternative Medicine Archived version by pentapus - Art for the prompt "True Love's Kiss".

- 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.”
- Oldest Friend Archived version by Squishychickies - It's been almost two months since Dick has seen Jason and he thinks he might be having a crisis.
- Why Blow My Cover When You Could Blow Me Instead? by Chrystie and kate882 - “You know there’s a rumor going around that the Red Hood and Nightwing are dating,” he mentioned as he typed away at his laptop.
- Between The Bars by Mikimoo -
A number of suspicious deaths at South Haven Penitentiary are being ignored by the authorities, but have attracted the attention of various other parties. OR: That one time Dick and Jason accidentally ended up undercover on the same mission and started a riot.
