Summary
The first time, Peter didn’t notice. It was only in hindsight that he recognised that this was in fact the first time Neal had hidden an injury on the job, not just another near miss.
"" "" "" "" "" ""
Peter didn’t usually notice. Or at least, if he did, he made a rare attempt to respect Dick’s boundaries and didn’t make a big deal out of it. Which didn’t sound like Peter, really.
So, yeah.
Peter didn’t usually notice.
This time, he very much did.
(a.k.a. 5 times Dick as Neal hid an injury from the white collar team + 1 time he couldn't)

Summary
"Whatever I want?"
James knew he was making a pact with the devil. The whole idea was insane, he was very much aware. But he was drunk, and he was getting desperate. With this, he could do something. He could help people, be useful for the first time since he had gotten into the war.
He needed this.
So he squared his shoulders, looked straight into the steely grey eyes of Regulus Black, and said:
"Whatever you want."
Or,
James Potter has imagined countless times what his role in the war would be, but he never once thought it would consist on faking an engagement with Regulus Black nor the massive butterfly effect that would come out of it.

Summary
Something was wrong with Neal. Peter could tell from across the dusty parking lot, squinting past the sun’s glare.
He was moving listlessly. Not in a way that suggested injury, though god only knows how he’d avoided that. No, it was more like a despondency. A regret. Like Neal had been forced to do something he wished he wouldn’t have to.
Like he’d broken a rule, but moreover, like he’d broken someone’s trust by doing so.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
For a long moment, Alfred is silent, and Dick chews on his lip, trying to fight back the tears he can feel rising. “Do you know I have quite forgotten how Mr. Wayne took his eggs?” he says abruptly.
Dick looks up in surprise, frowning, and Alfred nods before continuing. “He could be quite particular about them, I recall that much. I remember he didn’t like pepper in them, because Mrs. Wayne used to tease him about his… reluctance to enjoy spices. But I cannot for the life of me seem to recall whether he preferred them poached, or in the form of an omelette.”
“That’s not a big deal,” Dick offers uncertainly. “I mean, I bet you remember lots of more important stuff,” he adds hastily, trying not to sound dismissive.
Thankfully, Alfred tips his head in acknowledgement. “I do,” he agrees. “I remember a great many things. But I have forgotten things too, and I expect as time goes on, more of them will slip away from me, and it’s entirely possible that I won’t even notice they’re gone. My memories of them will simply be… less.”
Dick looks at him, studying the lines of his weathered face. “Does that ever make you feel like... like if you loved them more, you’d remember them?”

Summary
Damian tries to pull his wrist out of his grasp.
Any other time, Dick would let him go without hesitation, always careful to make sure his personal space is respected.
This time, he catches his other wrist as well, gentle but firm as he crouches down to make eye contact. “Hey,” he says, smiling gently. “Do you trust me?”
Damian tilts his head, his forehead creased. “I do not understand why you are asking me this,” he says. He doesn’t pull his hands away, and that’s answer enough.

Summary
“How’d you do it?” Dick whispers, mouth strange and muffled by tears and Bruce’s shirt. “All those times. How’d you stand it?”
“I—I took it out on the people that hurt you. I—” Bruce starts, but he's interrupted.
Dick’s voice is hushed. “You did it sometimes too.”
Bruce shifts, startled.
“What?” he breathes.
“You hurt me too sometimes.”

Summary
Dick's injured one night on patrol, which is no big deal. Sure, his face is a little burnt, but it's not like anything serious happened— so why is everyone acting like it has? Faced with a concussion and mandatory rest, he has a lot of time to think, and that's never good for someone in their line of business.
OR: An injury threatens to scar Dick's face, and it brings up a lot of things in him, things he hadn't realized were even there. The family acts and reacts.
