Summary
Dick Grayson lived in a circus. Until he didn't.
Losing his parents was hard. Leaving the circus to join "real life" was hard. Not being allowed to tell anyone that he was Robin, Batman's sidekick, was also hard. On one particular day, he began missing his family more than ever, and he decided to break all the rules and tell Kid Flash everything about himself and his past.
Or:
How Kid Flash learned Robin's secret identity. And why.

Summary
I feel the pressure building until I can't breathe,
And it takes everything.
Till it all spills out,
Reckless but honest words leave out my mouth
Like kerosene on a flame of doubt,
I just couldn't make it right…
Duke notices something while on a mission, and that one observation turns into a confrontation with parts of Dick's past that he's kept hidden from his brothers for years.Series

The story behind these lines from There’s a Bird in the Alleyway
“[T]he working girls who saved your life said you’ve done some stuff to help them out. Your gentlemanly ways are impressing them.”
“I don’t know if punching a creep in the face counts as being gentlemanly.”
Or, Nightwing accidentally earns the trust of Bludhaven's working girls by being "polite and smiley."

Summary
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)

Now free, he has vowed to use those skills to help instead of hurt.Only Nightwing really shouldn't have picked Blüdhaven for his debut. The neighbors in Gotham are kinda... a lot.

Summary
They ran.
They hit the water hard, the cold stealing their breath, the current dragging them under. By the time they crawled onto the riverbank, Gotham was just a distant glow, and the night stretched ahead—long, dark, and unforgiving.
Jason thought the worst was over.
Then Dick flinched at his touch like it burned.
Jason has seen him bruised, bleeding, broken. But this?
This is something new. And Jason isn’t sure what scares him more—the fact that Dick won’t talk about it, or the way the night seems to be closing in around them.

Now, Dick was many things, but unable to do math was not one of those things.
He could believe walking into a wall once, maybe twice, but seriously? Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne, Dick knows you are not that clumsy.

Summary
“You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”
“It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.
(Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)
“Then what is it?”
“It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”
-_-
Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.
Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.

Summary
“I know what you’re going to say, Batman,” Damian said, shrugging the hand off his shoulder. “You’re going to tell me that Nightwing is dead, and that people don’t come back from the dead. Well, clearly you are wrong, seeing that you were dead and I was dead and Red Hood was dead and even Superman was once dead-”
“My parents are dead,” Father interrupted. “Nightwing’s parents are dead. There have been a few notable exceptions in extenuating circumstances, Robin, but the rule stands. Everyone can die.”
OR
Damian meets a 10-year-old Dick Grayson, and they become best friends.

Summary
Wally gets a babysitting gig from an old friend.
-
Dick crouches to be at Damian’s eye level, and his voice suddenly takes on a brisk tone, one Wally associates so strongly with being assigned patrol routes that he twitches. “Wally, this is Damian, Damian, this is Wally. Wally is one of my very best friends. He is very important to me. You aren't going to stab him. This isn’t a debate,” Dick says, when Damian raises an eyebrow, “Or a rule. You can’t physically do it. He is much faster than you.”
“I know what his powers are,” Damian says, sounding annoyed, and also like he considers them to be a fun challenge.
“I would like it to be a rule,” Wally volunteers.
-
"Who’s the last person who saw him?" Jason asks Tim. "Did you talk to D- the kid? Nightwing never does anything without talking to him, what’d he say?”
There’s a sudden, nervous silence.
“Hey,” Jason says, dangerously, “Where is the kid?”
“Hm,” Tim says. “He’s- in school -,”
“On a Saturday? In July?” Tim makes a sound like a chipmunk in a trash compactor. “Tim, did you fuckin’ forget about the baby? Do not hang up on me-”
“Don’t real name me at work!” Tim squawks, panicked, and hangs up.Series

Summary
When Dick Grayson accidentally portals into the past, he finds himself on the Justice League’s Watchtower surrounded by younger versions of the original members of the Justice League...including Batman.
But none of them have any idea who Nightwing (or even Robin) is.
What a perfect opportunity to create a little chaos...while also trying not to break the timestream.

Summary
It should be hilarious when Dick gets de-aged: another brown-haired baby to throw into the playpen, this one no doubt climbing everything in sight and cheerfully babbling nonstop. Only Jason isn’t staring at a cheerful toddler. He’s looking down at a tiny, badly bruised child, shaking in his little Nightwing suit, staring up at Jason with poorly concealed terror.
(The de-aging, and the aftermath, and Dick and Jason Going Through It.)
