"Am I my brother's keeper?"persephone's in hell: He’d been mistaken – never in his life has he experienced pain like this.

summary:
Redrawing the Lines: Dick finds out that Damian cut Tim's line.Holding the Line: "Dick was used to anxiety dreams, even (or especially) ones about falling and failing to catch people. They weren’t pleasant, but he understood that they were his brain’s way of working through buried fears. The garbage disposal of his subconscious.But these dreams were more like the hyper-vivid nightmares and thrashing night terrors he’d had after his parents’ deaths. And they were constant. Every time he closed his eyes. He didn’t just feel rattled when he woke up; he felt flayed open."Season of Darkness, Season of Light: “Maybe it is time to ask for help.”“Tried that already.” Dick hung his head over the arm of the sofa. “Pulled every ally we had away from their work before I learned that surprise! Gotham still needs a Batman.”“And now she has one. But that doesn’t mean he can’t ask for help. And I wasn’t thinking of ‘allies,’ Master Dick. I was thinking of family.”Bruce isn't dead, just lost in time. And Tim and Damian are finally . . . tolerating each other. But before they can get Bruce back, they'll need some help. Especially since the new string of thefts in Gotham is disturbingly bat-themed.This story will also involve: Museums, MacGuffins, Feelings, Crying, Talking About Issues (just so much talking—this is like a case-fic if the case was the B-plot and talking about issues was the A-plot), Plot Twists, Unnecessary Clothes Shopping Scenes, Slow-burn Sibling Bonding, Characters Who Definitely Need Therapy But Aren't Getting It (Yet), and Pointless Literary References!Many Happy Returns: Tim, Damian, Jason, and Alfred all have summer birthdays.

summary: "Been meaning to ask," Jason said. "You and Kory… are you guys still… y’know. Going strong?”Dick almost choked on his mouthful right then and there. No, he wanted to tell him.
