Summary:
“How’d you do it?” Dick whispers, mouth strange and muffled by tears and Bruce’s shirt. “All those times. How’d you stand it?” “I—I took it out on the people that hurt you. I—” Bruce starts, but he's interrupted. Dick’s voice is hushed. “You did it sometimes too.” Bruce shifts, startled. “What?” he breathes. “You hurt me too sometimes.” (Dick and Bruce talk about Bruce lashing out after Jason's death. For Bad Things Happen Bingo: Reopening an Emotional Wound.)

Submitter's comment:
Bruce and Dick talk about when Bruce hit Dick! Amazing characterization, beautifully spare writing style, and doesn’t soften its subject matter. Author writes amazing Dick-centric fics (and some of them are more happy than this one) - check those out too!
