    Summary

    In 3 minutes, the Batclan lost their brother, pseudo-father, and hero.
    The hero community will never forget those 3 minutes. Partly because no one could prove what happened and what didn't. The only thing they can prove is that Deathstroke shot the one Robin he swore to never harm.

    5 years later:
    Talon is breaking, and he knows it. Some days he wakes up as dick, others as Richard, and some as Nightwing....or is it Robin?

    He can't sleep, can't eat, he doesn't know if he needs to find his Master or remember the last mission instructions from his Grand Master.

    The only thing he does know is that the infamous Batclan's presence gives him a migraine, especially the RedHood.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson, known as Robin, had been a part of the Young Justice League for about three years now. He had learned to grow up as a leader, guiding his team through countless successful missions. However, he was still a child, and the possibility of making irrational or impulsive decisions lingered. Now, it was up to him to fix the mess he had caused by deciding to go up against the mysterious uprising of owl-themed rogues. This could definitely not have gone worse.
    These strange villains seemed almost like a cult. They knew Robin would be there when the mission failed; they knew who he was and were expecting to capture him. Obviously, we are talking about Dick Grayson—he wasn't exactly going to go down without a fight.
    Well, once again, he underestimated his opponents. After getting captured, he wasn't expecting the creepy cult to be so obsessed with him in a way he couldn't quite put his finger on.

    Or: The court of owls decide to go capture young Dick from the Young justice universe and bring him back to an alternate universe. But stubborn Grayson manages to escape after almost getting lobotomised by them, surely, this will have no long lasting effects...right?

    I will continue to add tags as needed. So if you see a tag, you personally think needs to be there most likely I just haven’t got to it yet.

    Summary

    Dick took the relationship with Slade mediocre — it was cool with him, but no more. He knew perfectly well that they meant a lot more to Wilson, but I didn't share it — Grayson is a free bird.

    Summary

    Dick felt nothing towards the heroes. He had his business and they had theirs. Simple as that.

    That’s how it had always been between them, and how it should continue into whatever the future had in store for them.

    Ah, but he forgot to consider one fundamental principle of life.

    Elements of surprises were arranged to flood when least expected…

    Or:

    Dick Grayson ripped off the collar the Court of Owls placed upon him, had a bumpy yet exhilarating drive through the wonders of life, and...

    Hold on, can somebody please come and explain to him why a demon was suddenly in the mix?

    Summary

    Dick Grayson was the living embodiment of hope. Funny how it was his family that robbed him of it all.

    William Cobb knew his blood well. Watching Richard curl up and sob miserably night after night gave him the opening he needed. Wayne truly was a fool. He had just handed the Gray Son over on a silver platter...

    Summary

    Ten years old, and abandoned to the streets of Gotham, left behind by the only home he'd ever had, the circus. Dick Grayson had been patiently waiting for them to come back and get him for six months. But a raging storm and a chance encounter might have lead him to discovering the truth of Gotham's royal family.
    Maybe he can finally start healing from the tragic death of his parents.
    And maybe he can figure out why this gloomy man is dressed up as a bat and living in this spooky castle with objects that talked.

    Summaries are my enemy.
    I am not a fan fic writer. But I am becoming one.
    I love Beauty and the Beast, and I thought it worked really well with the dynamics between Dick and Bruce - Platonically.
    So that is what I am doing. Rewriting the story. Enjoy ;)

    Summary

    Talon.

    It was a new role for a new ballet. One William Cobb had been training Dick Grayson to perform ever since he obtained custody of him.

    Surrounded by manipulative, powerful people in his dance company, Dick seizes his only chance for autonomy by tasking himself with making the role of the Talon his own. However, his obsession with perfection leads him down a dark path that causes him to question reality and his own reflection.

    Summary

    Before Dick Grayson was Robin, he was almost a Talon. He still has nightmares about the months he spent as a captive, and the blood-soaked woman who carried him to freedom in one arm with the decapitated head of William Cobb in the other.

    Talon doesn’t remember what it was before decades of brainwashing, but when it sees the bruises on eight-year-old Dick Grayson, something snaps.

    A decade after the Court of Owls is dismantled, the lone Talon resurfaces.

    Bruce is determined to stamp out the threat to Dick once and for all, but there is a special bond that forms between a child and the monster who delivers him from a fate worse than death.

    The race is on to find the Talon first, but the questions remain: Why is she back? And how does the mysterious Red Hood fit into all of this?

    Summary

    It has eaten humans on many occasions. It is not his only food source, as he will eat anything with skin, but in general, whether by chance of fate or otherwise, he has never eaten a human or an animal or anything that has a nest with young.
    Thinks of what happens to baby birds whose parents leave the nest never to return, and a twinge of discomfort makes him uneasy. If the caretaker of the human hatchling does not return by nightfall, the child will be cold and hungry, and will chirp to call its parents, but after a while, when the parents do not return, it will die of cold and hunger and dry up until there is nothing left.
    Look at the skin it has put on. He knows it must look the same as the childs human's keeper. Surely he won't know the difference. After all, it's meant to be that way.
    How hard must it be to raise a human hatchling? At least until it is able to feed itself.
    -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
    Or the story of how a skin-thief becomes a father, one child at a time.

    Summary

    Talon felt surprisingly alert as he watched the Owls file in. They were each escorted to their table by a sharp-eyed Talon, one hand resting on their knife and the other keeping a firm hold on their charge. It reminded Talon of how Grandfather used to walk with him, when he wasn’t sure if he’d need to cut out Talon’s heart in order to keep him in check.

    He used to be so, so bad. He was very lucky that the Court taught him to be good. Talon tried to remember that, even as his head got fuzzier at the sight of his opponent.

    It was an owlet.

    He was small, almost as small as Talon. His clothes hung off of him like a scarecrow. Angry, narrowed eyes flitted across the room as he was dragged forward by a Talon on both sides. His mouth was pressed in a thin line, but still he tried to bite the hands hoisting him up. Talon nearly cooed. He had teeth!


    or, The Talon that used to be Dick Grayson is tasked with killing a street rat when a deal for the Court goes south. It doesn't go smoothly, but Jason's pretty grateful for that.

    Summary

    CANON SPOILER!!!!!:

    In the Night of the Owls event (Nightwing #8 and #9 in New 52) Nightwing took three throwing blades straight to the chest. Deep. Critical. Comic book math said that despite bleeding out full quarts, he was still able to win the fight and then walked away clean to keep fighting through the night. And the wounds were never mentioned again.

    This version is not comic book math.

    OR

    The fix-it fic in which trying to survive a fight with three daggers buried in vital organs and arteries does not go the same way it did in canon.

    Summary

    Ric Grayson left Gotham for Bludhaven. He wanted nothing more than to start a new life for himself, unencumbered by the weight of what he couldn't remember. No one seemed to leave him alone when he asked nicely, so he learned to be more harsh about it. It was his choice. He managed.
    Or, he tried to manage.
    The black outs weren't going away, they were getting worse. Ric felt like the city was trying to bury him alive.
    Maybe it was a good thing, in the end, that no one seemed capable of leaving him alone.

    My interpretation of the Dick Grayson Amnesia Arc. His friends and family get involved, because of course they would.
