Summary
“It's just a bad day,” Tim says.
“No,” Jason corrects sharply. “A ‘bad day’ is when someone's yellin' and general commotion spooks the herd of cattle packed in our hold. Look, as soon as those cows are off the ship, she can yell until our ears bleed,” Jason says; he turns to Cass before adding, “Although I would take it as a kindness if she didn't.”
Cassandra regards them both with a vacant gaze. “The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vacuuming systems,” she says, frowning even more deeply.
Tim grimaces at the words, running a hand down his face. Jason offers a forced smile. “See, her usual way of being morbid and creepifying is no problem at all, as long as she does it quietly.”

Stones In Glasshouses by writergeek
Fandom Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics)
10 Mar 2026
Summary
On a fateful night, one man stalked one hero and, with one act of cowardly violence, permanently injured another.
This is not the stalker's story. (It will never be his story.)
This is the story of his victims and the fallout from that one act.
Because sometimes, all it takes is one stupid act of violence to destroy a glasshouse, and all that is left is the pieces of glass that cut so finely when you pick them up… and can’t ever be reassembled into the original.
But that doesn’t mean that what emerges from the destruction can’t be beautiful in its own right.

Summary
The first night, he’d unpacked his belongings into a gorgeous, expensive-looking wood dresser in a huge mansion. Transferred what little money he’d saved from part-time jobs into a joint account so Talia’s personal money manager could take care of it.
Met Talia’s two-year-old son.
By the time Dick had looked up and realized he hadn’t been allowed out of the house in almost a year, Damian was three and running into Dick’s arms with the brightest smile Dick had ever seen.
+++
Or: Dick takes Damian and runs.
They end up in Gotham, because of course they do.

Summary
‘I don't... understand,’ Clark finally admitted. ‘Where is this coming from?’
‘Selina. She has the same problem.’
Clark blinked. ‘Her problem... is that she thinks that I have feelings for Bruce?’
‘No, her problem is that Bruce is in love with you.’

Summary
Jason is both annoyed and weirdly flattered when the replacement turns up to ask him for help. He mentally rearranges his calendar so he can be free Wednesday evening and says, “No, fuck off, I have very important business going on.”
Tim eyes his 72” TV playing Japanese wrestling more judgmentally than it really deserves.
“Important crime things,” Jason emphasizes. “Make Wingdick do it.”Jason doesn't think much of it when Tim needs his help, or Damian moves in, or even when Dick turns up looking beat all to hell. But at some point he realizes that he might be the best option his brothers have to recover from the cycle of violence that Batman has set up, and all he can think is that things were much easier when he was the villain.
