Summary
Funny enough, a handful of years later, standing in the hallway before interrogation room #3 in the Watchtower, Roy will look at Wally and say, “we need to do something about Deathstroke.”
They won’t suggest speaking to an adult about it - they will be the adults by then.
But they’ll look at each other, with all the authority on the world that mid-twenty-somethings can muster, and agree that the way Deathstroke was with Dick back then wasn’t right.

Summary
"Hey," Robin said softly. "It's okay."
It wasn't. It wasn't okay. Tim ruined everything. Now Robin was going to think that he was weird. His (hopeful) future interactions would be tainted. Tim could never see Robin in the eye again.
Tears welled up in his eyes and his throat closed in on itself. He stumbled backwards, his heart beating quick and hard against his ribs.
"Hey. Kid, you okay?” Robin looked at him worriedly. “Please don’t cry. I promise it’s okay.”
Tim mutely shook his head. He curled into himself, gripping the side of his arms tightly, trying to remember what it was like to breathe, cheeks burning hot with shame.
He was an embarrassment.

No Ordinary Omega by Khrimson

Summary
The plot centers around Bruce and the reader as they meet on Arkham Island, and everything after. You're a Psychiatrist who has long had a thing for bad boys (but atleast your taste is better then Harley's). Are you the omega who can tame Batman and bring some light into the darkness?
**Not canon compliant**
This is mostly a love story between Bruce and a fem reader insert. There will be eventual Dick & Jason relationship content too. It's a bit plot heavy in the beginning but once they discover domestic bliss (or as close as one gets in Gotham) it's very smutty and fluffy.

Summary
4 of them , him and a cliff . A way like many others to one of his safe houses . He mentally checks himself, making sure his mask is in his possession as he takes a step back and looks down in time to see a few pecks of dirt dislodge from the edge of the cliff and fall , down, down, down into cold icey winter water.
They take a step forward, Red Hood twitches and his hands raise subconsciously. Almost as to put them out in peace offering or an attempt to stop Damian from jumping , which Hood can’t do.
“Kid.” Nightwing. Tries to coax him into smoothness, into relax . Damian knows better than to sway to soft spoken words , especially his name . His mother would do the same but the outcome would be treacherous several almost fatal wounds and days without getting fed. So no he does nothing but glare at Nightwing. -

Summary
Dick Grayson has reached one of the lowest points in his life. He doesn't know what to do or where to go, and the only thing that he can think of is that he needs to get out of Gotham and as far as he can from the Wayne Manor.
That's when, unconsciously, his feet lead him to Metropolis to seek comfort in the arms of someone who had been there for him for his entire life.Or: Dick gets fired but I decided to add some drama so that it's more traumatic.
This is my take on the argument that Bruce and Dick had (so it's different from the comics) and the aftermath of the fight, where the boy has to learn how to start a new life without his father, but with the help of some people who only wish to see him happy. -
