Summary
“Batman,” Dick stresses quietly, trying to telepathically convey his desperation. “Please.”
Either it sails right over Bruce’s head, or he’s too determined to stop the violence to pass up on the help. “I understand that the two of you have a past, but personal hang-ups have no place on the field. Tarantula has intel that would take us days to acquire on our own. Unless you have a real, justifiable reason for shutting her out, we’re keeping her on the case. At least until we have the situation under control. Am I understood?”
Biting his tongue until he tastes blood, Dick nods.
(AKA the fic where Dick is forced to deal with Tarantula again and finally confront the trauma that's been eating him alive since the assault)

Unfortunately, secrets had a way of coming to light.

Summary
The Bats are making it impossible for Red Hood to accomplish anything. In an attempt to get them off his back and restore his productivity, Red Hood agrees to a meeting with Batman to talk terms.
Bruce is just happy that his son is willing to talk to him after the mistimed Batarang throw. Sure, he's more than a bit confused why Jason is treating a coffee meetup like a business negotiation, but he'll take any conversation he can get.
Meanwhile, Jason is wrangling intrusive thoughts and terrified out of his mind.

Summary
Whatever had happened in that alley a mere few hours prior, it hadn’t been the work of an animal. Just a person with the claws and the instincts of one.
Having been both the man and the animal at some point or another, Jason knew which was more dangerous.
***
Or, when someone from Jason's past turns up as the prime suspect in a brutal murder, he must fight to prove her innocence while keeping control of himself, the wolf inside him, and the dangerously powerful feelings he has for his partner. What will break first? His resolve or his relationships?
