Summary
Hal and Barry are worried about Batman's new partner. Being around the Batman all the time can't be good for a kid, right?
Robin insists otherwise, and for $15.36 of betting money, is happy to demonstrate.

Summary
Dick and Bruce are like this:
Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity, but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.Their story has always been radioactive.
A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked, and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

Summary
His brothers don’t want to see him. No one does. Not after Spyral. Not after the lies. And Dick wants to scream that it’s not his fault; it never was. But he can’t.
So he doesn’t. He’ll be fine alone anyway.
OR: Post-Spyral. Secrets are revealed. Traumas are addressed. No-one is happy.

Summary
Dick jokes, a lot, about being the only reason Bruce still remembers how to talk to people. About breaking him in for everyone else. He was Robin first, and he was Robin longest, and he’s why Bruce took in the others, he’s why Bruce isn’t dead in a ditch somewhere.
And the jokes are funny! He’s never trying to be passive aggressive, or guilt trip, or whatever else. He and Bruce have spent enough time, now, pointedly not actually looking at each other, pulling words out in painful fits and starts. Dick knows where they stand. They’re good.
But.

Summary
“It’s fine, Jason,” Dick says. “Chill out. I’m a grown adult, it’s not like Slade’s bothering a teenager anymore. It’s enrichment for me. I get a little shot of adrenaline and a bug treasure hunt. Sometimes he even makes me coffee.”
“And you drink it?”
“Well, yeah. It’s my fucking coffee, I’m not going to waste it.”
“I’m going to kill him,” Jason decides aloud. “Next time I see that man, I’m gonna kill him.”
“No, Jason, do not,” Dick says in the same tone Jason uses to tell his dog not to chew on his boots.
