How did I get here…

[frogs-are-cool0]

Imagine gymnastics teacher dick Grayson. He’s teaching a class and one of the kids he’s teaching, a little girl, gets scared of how high up she is.

Dick: it’s okay, just jump down you’ll be alright. I’ll catch you

Girl: What if I fall? Do you promise you’ll catch me?

Dick: I promise.

And he does.

Now imagine a building that’s about to collapse, there isn’t enough time to get everyone out, they’re going to have to jump. There’s a little girl in one of the windows, it’s the same girl. she’s scared and alone and she’s about to die if she doesn’t get out right now.

Dick: it’s okay, just jump down you’ll be alright. I’ll catch you

Girl: do you promise?

Dick: I promise.

What if even though Damian is the only biological child of Bruce, due to him taking more after his mother he ends up looking the least like his father out of all his siblings?

Do you have any fics of Jason starting to spend more time with the family/coming back and realizing Dick acts completely different nowadays than how he acted back when Jason was Robin?

Could be angst or comedy.

Thanks in advance

“Oh, this is actually a challenge,” Tim muttered after a moment, waking up at the prospect of yet more work and snorted. “And you wanted to let Dick do it? Dick? Dick Grayson?”

“Yeah?” Jason didn’t know what the problem was. Dick was a great hacker. He breached world class security firewalls for fun every other day when he was with Titans.

Tim just shook hie head and started typing.

Half an hour later Jason got the pendrive with the files he wanted, so he didn’t think much of the issue beyond making mental note that maybe Dick didn’t have the time to follow the technological news anymore with all the other work he was doing.

Arkham Knight Dick AU

[Dick is standing over a bloodied, broken Bruce Wayne. A gun is in his hand, shoved against the man's now-bare forehead, cowl long since broken, laying in pieces elsewhere.]

DICK: You're making this *so much harder* than it needs to be, Bruce. Just don't- stop *looking* at me like that! Like- like you *love* me! Just *stop it!*

[Bruce looks up at him, utter sadness in his eyes. He looks regretful, but like he's looking at the world- like one he helped break.]

BRUCE: ...But I *do* love you, Dick. You're my son.

[Dick snarls, shaking with rage and hurt.]

DICK: If you *loved me,* you wouldn't have sent me to Spyral! You wouldn't have left me alone with no memory! You wouldn't have left me to ROT in that abandoned wing of Arkham for TWO FUCKING YEARS! So stop it! Stop *pretending like you love me* while I- while I destroy your city, threaten your family, and point a goddamn gun in your face!

[Bruce's face only twitches, but to Dick, it's like the whole thing falls.]

BRUCE: I'm sorry.

[It's genuine.]

DICK: ...You're insufferable. You're fucking insufferable, you know that? I wish- I wish I never met you, Bruce. You- you *turned me into this.* You turned me into a soldier and sent me off into YOUR war! I was a CHILD! If- If it weren't for you, I- Joker wouldn't have...

BRUCE: ...I know. For what it's worth- I'm... sorry. I want to help you. If.. if you would let me.

[Silence. Dick sobs, stumbling back, lowering the gun.]

DICK: God- *fuck* you, Bruce. Just... fuck you.

[Dick turns and runs off, leaving behind a broken Bruce. The Arkham Knight helmet lays nearby, broken in pieces. Bruce is full of regret.]

Hello! I've lost a fic starring Dick in the aftermath of being beaten by a Batman & Jason who were hopped up on fear gas/toxin

There was concern by Alfred I'm pretty sure and Jason, regarding Dick's choice to take hits he could've countered, that he didn't because it would've hurt Bruce and Jason...

Barbara telling Dick that he shouldn't be okay with the situation, Dick telling her not to tell him how to feel, she saying it's just the facts but respectfully backing off

Jason demanding to know if/why isn't Dick mad. Dick saying it's no one's (not them at least) fault and so no point in laying blame on them for toxin brain...

I never got to finish reading the lost fic. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Pre Jason death:

Jason is actually happy for the first time in his life, he has an actual father figure to look up to, he’s able to help people and he’s thriving. He is a happy go lucky kid with stars in his eyes who goes around telling people that “Robin gives him magic”. He is energetic, loving and happy.

Dicks the complete opposite, who he saw as his father has (in his eyes) just done the closest thing he could to disowning him by giving away his family’s colours and his mothers name for him to some random kid Bruce found on the street. He’s smoking, changed his name and has gone off on his own to prove a point to Bruce, he yells, he gets angry and he runs away from his issues.

Post Jason’s death though?

The jason people knew before is dead and in his place is the red hood, a man who takes no shit from anybody. This is a man who beheaded anyone who he didn’t like and left the heads in a duffle bag for some random person to find.

Meanwhile dick appears to be thriving, he’s made up with Bruce, he’s trying his best to be there for Tim and most importantly he looks happy.

What I’m trying to say is that after Jason’s death both dick and Jason wanted to reinvent themselves and leave who they used to be behind. Jason knew he had to be big and intimidating, someone who people would fear yet respect, and so (probobly without even realising it) took inspiration from his big brother. Dick understood that while everyone was grieving there had to be someone there to fill the void that Jason left and so he took inspiration from his little brother.

They became each other because the other person was who they looked up to the most and wanted to be like wether that was intimidating or happy.

Sorry if it’s not worded very well, I just needed to rant about that lmao

[incorrectbatfamandfriends]

The absolute angst of Jason coming back and seeing Tim interacting with Dick and realizing just how close they are. They do stuff together, all the time, stuff Dick never did for Jason no matter how much he begged. He’s put off with it- doesn’t want anything to do with Dick. He died and Dick got a new perfect little brother he actually liked. Hell, he even comes to Sunday Dinner- something not even Alfred could convince him to do when Jason was still alive the first time.

It gets worse as the others show up- Dick showers them with affection. If they question whether they belong or not, it’ll never be because of Dick. No, Tim, Damian, Cass, and Duke will never know the Dick he knew.

But he doesn’t know that the reason Dick tries so hard is because of him. He felt he’d failed Jason- and when he died he left this gaping hole in Dick’s life. So yeah, he shows up to Damian’s Art Shows, and takes Tim skateboarding, never misses Cass’s ballet performances, and drives Duke four hours to see his favorite band. And yeah he’s at every single Sunday dinner, even if him and Bruce are at each others throats- he shows up and he sits down, and he listens to his siblings as they tell him what’s going on in their lives. Because of Jason.

When Jason finally confronts dick about being a bad brother to him, none of the others can even fathom the thought of dick being anything but the perfect older brother

[ckalaveram]

Someone said the original image was Tim and Damian and it had to be done

They end up fighting and Bruce buys the ice cream anyway, the only difference being that he eats the ice cream and they get none

[profoundathletecowboybanana]

We don’t see Insane Nightwing enough for my tastes like:

This mf listens to NO ONE if he doesn’t want to and everyone just goes “omg what a great leader always with a better plan.”

Argues with fucking BATMAN of all people and is not a stranger to winning said arguments.

Has been kicking villain ass since 8 years old and can figure out what your great-great-great aunt twice removed was doing on April 16, 1721 and will use it as blackmail for your entire bloodline.

Probably still uses Facebook.

Would 100% wear Velcro Lightning McQueen light-up sketchers and outrun you in them only to do a quadruple backflip at the finish line as his victory dance.

He knows the exact behavior patterns and personalities of his entire team/family/coworkers and can plan their movements/reactions to near perfection in almost any circumstance. Has used this to prank them.

Learned how to cook out of spite to prove to Bruce he could live on his own (after one of the aforementioned fights. Also, after proving he could live on his own, was not immediately alerted to his little brother’s passing because Bruce has a Complex).

“Tim! Tie your shoes when you walk down the stairs you could trip and get hurt!” “You literally just got shot please worry about yourself for once??”

Has trained under Batman’s pacifistic “no killing” policy and then also fucking Deathstroke the Assassin and Mercenary. Neither one was particularly kind to his psyche

Killed the joker but imo was very justified and not insane at all. But also just sort of just… let blockbuster get killed that one time. Has also killed others

The whole vampire series??? I still haven’t read that one yet but everything I’ve heard about it has been against my will

Has had beef with multiple children (special shoutout to Jason Todd)

Somehow made peace with his family after Bruce allowed all of his other children to don the name Robin, which was given to Dick by his Very Dead mother (and of which the meaning how now been diluted and the connection to his parents severed)

Please add on to this if yall think of anymore bc I just know that man has his Moments

[frogs-are-cool0]

@bynaru my man’s been through some shit 😭, that’s not even mentioning spyral too and what happened there, everyone always forgets about what happened to him in the desert

[phantobats]

I think we all agree that Bruce bringing back the Joker after Dick killed him was something the writers did to ensure that his biggest villain would remain in the continuity and they could continue to milk him off.

There is NO way Dick Grayson of all people would regret killing the Joker and actually have it impact him in any remarkable way.

[bynaru]

@frogs-are-cool0 what do you think?

[frogs-are-cool0]

@bynaru I absolutely agree, that man killed his brother, he would not regret killing him at all

[frogs-are-cool0]

One day, years after Jason’s death, dick wanders around the manner sedately after a long session of binge drinking, the alcohol is the only thing that could quiet the thoughts sometimes, but in the late hours of the night he starts to hear things, he can hear his dead brothers voice and his cries of pain, he blames the alcohol for the hallucinations and decides to drink some more to avoid them.

Meanwhile Jason broke into the manner to retrieve a book he left there before his death and stubbed his toe resulting in unholy howls of pain

[frogs-are-cool0]

Imagine if the batboys got sent to different universes and got seperated, after accepting that they can’t find a way home they all individually change their identities and start to create new lives for themselves, none of them need to become vigilantes because there’s no supervillains that need fighting:

Dick Grayson becomes Jake Peralta, an energetic detective who works at the b99

Tim drake becomes Spencer Reid, a profiler who works at the bau

Jason Todd becomes Neil Caffrey, an art thief who now works as a CI for the white collar office

And finally Damian Wayne, the only one of the batboys left in their original universe who’s been working tirelessly for years to bring his brothers home.

I can not write fanfics so pleaseee if anybody wants to write a fanfic even slightly based on this prompt feel free to write it and let me know! I’ve been dying to read a fanfic along these lines
