Summary
“Try harder, next time.”
Sound leached away slowly like a volume knob turning, static buzzing faintly up in its place.
Tim stared at Bruce’s back, uncomprehending. “Me?” he wanted to say. “Me? Try harder?” But all that came out was a strangled puff of air, mouth framing the disbelief he couldn’t seem to voice.
(Bruce gives feedback poorly. Tim handles it equally so.)

Summary
Five times Robin slugs Kid Flash, and one time Wally slugs Dick (alt. A speedster cultures a Bat and inadvertently creates a monster)
("Cheater! You can only punch people on the arm."
Dick shrugged, indifferent. "You said 'punch the other person.' You never specified where.")

Summary
During Superman's mission report, a certain little bird decides to make an appearance after a nightmare.
"Superman!" he crowed. "Oh my gosh, this is so cool!"
Quivering, Robin looked up at his mentor, excitement and energy practically radiating from him in waves. "Batman, it's Superman! You're talking to Superman!"

Summary
The Batboys try to figure out current modern slang words. Damian is surprisingly fluent.
(“Dick,” Tim said slowly, fingers trembling as they held his phone aloft. “Make him say it again. Please. For science.”)

Summary
No longer Officer Grayson, no longer Barbara’s boyfriend, no longer Batman… All roles he’d failed to some capacity, that he had been driven from either by his own terrible decisions or by someone who recognized the fact he just couldn’t make the cut.
He hated himself.
(Wherein Dick tries to pick up the pieces post-Blockbuster and Barbara is there at the right time. A DickBabs fix-it, 'cause canon gave it to neither of them.)

Halt saves Gilan from from a fate worse than death. (Or wherein Gilan is dramatic and Halt is done.)

Summary
“You okay, Goldie?”
“Mmmhmm,” came the careful answering hum.
“You sure?”
“Mmmhmmm.”
Jason paused. “So if I turn around right now there won’t be tears streaming from your dazzling blue eyes?”
“Mmmhmmmm.”
Jason glanced over his shoulder, past the curtain of wavy dark hair to the face pressed against his trapezius. “Liar.”
(In which Jason is hiding but Dick seeks him out anyway.)

Summary
For the record, it was all Dick's fault. If Dick hadn't convinced him to go to a stupid Christmas party, Jason would never have left his apartment. If Jason hadn't had to stop for gift wrap, he wouldn’t have rode up as two bank robbers turned the corner. If Dick hadn't lived up to his name, Jason wouldn't be bleeding out from a bullet hole in an alley on the other side of nowhere.

Summary
It was stupid. It was irrational. Dick knew that. There was no good reason for him to be afraid; he had been doing this for most of his young life. And yet...
Five times Dick fell, and the one time Robin didn't.

Summary
Tim takes a really long shower. A certain someone notices.
("Tim…?" the voice called again. "You in here, little bro?"
Yes, Tim thought, a tinge hysterical (movemoveMOVE). Yes…no. I don't know, we talking physically or mentally?
"Tim?"
Tim couldn't move.)

Summary
Why was this so hard? Just walk into the room, talk to Tim, make sure everything's cool...
Who was Dick kidding.
How were you supposed to act around someone who'd secretly tried to kill himself not even 48 hours ago?!

Summary
Directly after the death of the Graysons, Bruce finds himself making the most important decision in his life.
("I'm so sorry, Richard," Bruce murmured. Sorry he couldn't save them. Sorry that, even as a superhero, he couldn't do more. Back then, Bruce had had Alfred and a family fortune to fall back on. Richard had nothing. No one. He would be surrendered to the system. ...Unless.)

Summary
*Spoilers for Detective Comics #940*
This. THIS was Tim. Solid, warm, breathing, alive. Not disintegrated on some clocktower's roof.
Just a dream. It had only been a dream. (A nightmare.)
(Pre-52 Steph and Tim's "death." Alternatively, Steph has a nightmare and Tim comforts her in his own awkward way.)

Summary
And then Jason did something Dick did not expect: Draped himself over Dick's back, wrapping his arms loosely around Dick's shoulders in a…what could only be described as a…a…
"What are you doing?" Dick blurted before he could stop himself.
(In which Dick is being angsty, and Jason makes it a bit better.)

Summary
There was a beat of tense silence, during which Tim could feel the youngest Wayne's gaze boring into him, taking in the scene before him. He lowered the gun, an admittedly useless gesture: Damian had already seen him.
Then, "What are you doing?"
(Unofficial sequel to 'Of Milkshakes and Marathons.' Very easily stands alone.)
**Sequel, "Focus on the Fallout," now UP**
