    Summary

    As an eight year old Robin, Dick had traversed the tightrope of good and evil effortlessly, understanding how to navigate the world's morality in the way that only a child could. He knew right, he knew wrong and he knew how to differentiate between the two. As an adult, Dick didn’t have that certainty, and he no longer ran, skipped and cartwheeled over that tightrope. Instead, he crawled in a way that felt humiliating, even when no one else knew how much he was struggling to stand.

    It's been six months since Nightwing dragged himself from the burning warehouse he'd been held captive in; bloodied, broken and with the fury of an avenging phoenix. And Dick Grayson has spent that time painstakingly putting his persona back together in a way that belies the total destruction wreaked over his mind and body.

    Sure, the lie isn't as perfect as he wishes it was. But none of that matters. Not really, anyway. Because as the curtains open on the performance of Dick Grayson's lifetime, he knows one bitter truth; this is his path, and he has to walk it alone.

    -

    A study in pain, grief and the relentless sting of finding a way to heal.

    Summary

    Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.

     

    Even the Dragon-King's temple floods.

    Summary

    It’d be easier, Dick thinks, if there was something obvious he could point to. A clear-cut example, where any outside observer would have to agree. Something that couldn’t be argued to just be a power play, or training, or part-and-parcel of being a hostage.

    There isn’t. Maybe that’s the point.

    Dick paid attention in Batman’s training, he knows what grooming is. He knows what sexual abuse is. But this? This is something he has no frame of reference for.

     

    Or: an apprentice fic where Slade’s kinks are a little unusual, and Dick has trouble finding where the line is.

    Summary

    “We’re going to be together a long time,” Karl said, “and I’d hoped we could be friends.”

    “We can be friends,” Ian rasped. A metal arm unfolded from the wall, holding a hypodermic needle. “No,” he said. “I’ll cooperate with you. You don’t have to—Karl, what is that? Wait—“

    “I know you’ll cooperate with me,” Karl said. “I’m very confident of that, Ian.”

    --

    Dr. Ian Schevchenko is supposed to be in cryosleep for another 45 years.

    But he's awake now. Because Karl, the ship's AI, was bored and lonely...and he needed a playmate.
