Summary
“You mustn’t think of it as being visually impaired,” Damian scoffed, turning to Duke with the stubbornness and sassiness that only a thirteen year old could manage. “That implies weakness. You are not weak, Thomas.”
“How do you know that!” Duke snapped, defensiveness rising in his tone. “I’m blind! Blind as a — “
“Bat?” The younger boy deadpanned. Duke fixed him with the best glare he could, trying his best to counter the expression Damian probably was wearing.
This was stupid. Damian’s only trying to help but shit! Why could no one else understand how fucking useless he felt!?
“Damian,” Duke took a breath. “How am I supposed to help? I’m not strong anymore, I can’t even aim! I am weak!”
“Tt, nonsense.”
A beat.
“You’re one of the strongest people I know, Thomas.”

Summary
Duke braced himself, bringing his fists up in front of him and preparing to dodge or lose an eye.
The guy swung. The hit never landed.
A gunshot cracked the night wide open, and the guy who’d been about to slice up Duke’s face screamed, clutching at his hand. The sound was pure agony.
Blood sprayed, hot and wet, across Duke’s cheek and hoodie. Too close. Too real. His breath hitched hard, stomach lurching. Some hit his lip. The metallic tang of blood slid into his mouth before he could stop it. He gagged.
Then something fell out of the dark above. Leather flared. Boots struck pavement with a thud that carried finality. A helmet gleamed red under the flickering streetlight.
Red Hood.
OR:
The story of Duke Thomas and Jason Todd throughout the years.

Summary
One of the first things Duke always noticed about people was their mouths. More specifically, their teeth. He wasn’t sure why he looked at their mouths instead of something normal like their eyes. He did it anyway.
AKA Duke's fear of laughter and his habit of looking at mouths instead of eyes.

Summary
The wind outside howls with a restless force once again; Autumn is definitely here, but it seems too soon.
Almost like Duke has skipped over the last three months because there are certain things that are supposed to happen every summer.
He's supposed to go to the beach with his parents. They're supposed to see fireworks and buy sparklers and find seashells. He's supposed to stay up late and sit on the front porch eating popsicles while his mother plays the guitar and his father draws. Then as Duke’s tucked into bed, he’s supposed to be asked, "How many stars?"
On a great day he’s supposed to say nine or ten. But if it was amazing, the best day he ever had, he's supposed to cheat and say something like ten thousand stars.
But they didn’t get to see fireworks or eat popsicles or do any summer things, and Duke has this ache inside, like he's slept through Christmas.
Or,
Jason Todd, Duke Thomas and the fundamental precepts of sub-atomic science.

Summary
Duke Thomas Week 2025 - Day 2: Family
The drainpipe outside the window was broken. Well, most drain pipes all over Gotham are broken seeing as it was Gotham, but tonight it was really pissing Duke off. He laid there in the trashbag damp summer heat in an apartment somewhere maybe half way across the city from his childhood home. If he closed his eyes he could picture it: his extensive collection of play spell books that it took him years to accumulate, his poster from his visit to the city planetarium’s special dinosaur exhibit. His parents had surprised him with tickets and his father had hefted Duke onto his shoulders so that he could see the real life Brachiosaurus skeleton up close. He wanted to stay there, to stay in the fantasy but the bed sheets he was on top of were too thin and the air was too stale. The water from the pipe was familiar but dripping but in the wrong rhythm.
