    Summary

    "Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me"

    "I forgive you for not avenging me and killing the Joker"

    "But why-" Dick spat out, anger radiating off of him. The gun in his hand shook.

    "Why, on God's earth, is my brother living on the streets again?"

    or

    Dick dies instead of Jason, and when he comes back, he finds some disturbing news.

    Summary

    At the time of his brief death, Dick Grayson lacked the support of his family. After Bruce died, Dick had destroyed his relationship with Tim. His relationship with Jason was always rocky. And Damian... well, he had died at the hands of the Heretic. So, when he came back, Bruce barely had to strong-arm him into taking on the Justice League mission with the Caffrey cover.
    The thing about white collar crimes, though, is that it's impossible to avoid the Waynes entirely. Or their galas.
    Someone must have slipped something in his drink, though, because Dick really shouldn't be seeing his dead son baby brother there.

    Summary

    The Justice League is fairly new, and needs more members. Who better than The Batman, a mysterious hero from Gotham that is said to have been fighting crime for centuries. Rumors are rampant about who -or more likely, what- he could be. Barry's vote is for vampire. Clark’s vote is "lets please not find out". They don't know much about him but he can't be that bad can he?

    The batfamily is dead. Or undead? All of them had died at some point, some more than once. For some reason, they just won't stay dead. That doesn't mean they come back whole each time, though.

    Summary

    Bruce tensed. It was small, imperceptible enough that most wouldn’t pick it up. Dick saw it coming a mile away. “You’re supposed to be taking down a smuggling ring in Tricorner.”

    “Yeah, that’s exactly where you want me, isn’t it?” Jason's voice was calm, deceptively slow. Then it flipped on a dime, transforming into a cracking scream. “‘Cause if I was there, I wouldn’t have to see you put my brother in the fucking Pit!”

    Pit. The Pit. The Lazarus Pit, noxious and intoxicating and everything Dick had spent years trying to forget, even as Jason showed up on his doorstep, unprompted, near tears, needing someone, anyone, to listen to his butchered, incomplete descriptions on what it was like to live drowning.

    It melts you, he’d said once, wrapped in a blanket Dick didn’t remember owning. Brings you to your bare parts and builds you back up in a new form, again and again, until you forget that you ever used to be anything else. But it’s so cold, at the same time.

    Dick didn’t feel cold or hot or angry or insane. He – didn’t feel anything, despite the heaving cries that choked him even now.


    or, Dick dies. He gets better, but the Pit always has a cost.

    Summary

    “I should have been there. I should’ve.” He sobbed, but oddly enough he sounded furious. “I should’ve protected him.”

    And, what? Jason’s eyes snapped at his brother, lips parting slightly. He heard Tim mutter under his breath, no doubt wondering what Dick was talking about too.

    “It’s my fault.” Dick stammered, digging his fingertips into Wally’s shoulder blades. “I should’ve protected him, he’s my brother! Now he’s dead!”

    Or: after being dosed with a new toxin, things Dick wished to keep buried were dug up. Jason's having a wild ride, that's for sure.
