Summary
The story behind these lines from There’s a Bird in the Alleyway
“[T]he working girls who saved your life said you’ve done some stuff to help them out. Your gentlemanly ways are impressing them.”
“I don’t know if punching a creep in the face counts as being gentlemanly.”
Or, Nightwing accidentally earns the trust of Bludhaven's working girls by being "polite and smiley."

Summary
He knows what Daniel is about to say before he begins.
“Yeah, hey listen. I got some fact checking to do—”
“I’ve told you, Daniel. I’ve given my story. He can give his. I declined to participate in this documentary—”
“I watched you feed on Armand in Dubai, right? I’m not making that up?”
Louis’s hands pause. That wasn’t what he was expecting at all.
Or
For 114 years, Louis had an aversion to drinking Lestat's blood, but not for the reason Lestat thinks. Daniel reaches out to Louis for a fact check.

Summary
Whatever carefully blank expression Lestat is trying on disappears like a slap. “Armand made a fledgling. Why would he do that?” Lestat asks.
“Oh, you know,” Louis says, watching the three dots of a new text pop up. “He knew Daniel was… important to me.”
He means to say it with rueful annoyance, as if to say, “so he ruined him.” But as Daniel’s text comes in—the most important question I should have asked you in that fucking interview: where do you buy coke in Dubai?—Louis’s voice trails off, his words maybe lacking some of the bite.
or
Lestat misunderstands what Daniel is to Louis and tries to be a champ about it. Meanwhile Louis rediscovers his drug of choice—Lestat.

Summary
Gallery owner Louis DuLac is many things. Closed-off, abrasive, and incredibly protective of his younger sister, Claudia. Which is why he's more than apprehensive when his assistant, Madeleine, begins spending time with Claudia, hoping he does not notice. Though he is determined to keep them apart, Louis finds himself distracted from the task at hand due to the reappearance of a work rival, who inexplicably seems desperate to date him.

Summary
Damian’s eyes are still slightly glazed, his body swaying slightly. He’s still not fully awake, still trapped in whatever nightmare he’d been having before Dick showed up, some nightmare where Dick himself had died.
And Dick is trying to comfort him while covered in his own blood. Shit.Bookmarked by Rodsko

Summary
“I—” Tim recalibrated. Desperately, he scanned Dick’s face—his features blurred over, a wall of nothing; Tim chipped away: “You were a kid, who’ll blame a kid? They won’t hurt anyone again. If you want to, to, to talk to anyone—but it was a long time ago, you’re Nightwing now—”
Tuesday morning: a video was uploaded to one of the deep web black markets. The footage, shot on those grainy vintage camcorders. But Tim knew that boy in the thumbnail; his eyes had memorized him, the heft and shape and dazzle of him, imprinting like an afterimage.
Or: a brother is a witness; there's your tragedy.

Summary
“How’d you do it?” Dick whispers, mouth strange and muffled by tears and Bruce’s shirt. “All those times. How’d you stand it?”
“I—I took it out on the people that hurt you. I—” Bruce starts, but he's interrupted.
Dick’s voice is hushed. “You did it sometimes too.”
Bruce shifts, startled.
“What?” he breathes.
“You hurt me too sometimes.”
(Dick and Bruce talk about Bruce lashing out after Jason's death. For Bad Things Happen Bingo: Reopening an Emotional Wound.)

Summary
Green paints his vision as red paints his hands and the wall and the floor. The man gurgles out his final breath, and Jason worries that it was too quick, too merciful, and too kind for someone who took his brother from him. But he has more people to find, more people to eliminate. They may be in the business of pest control, as their now-dead leader said, but Jason is too.
He has some bugs to squash.
OR,
When Jason thinks Dick is killed on a mission, things get a little... green. Another fic where the pit madness turns into overprotective instincts.Bookmarked by Rodsko

Summary
“Pray as much as you want, you poor, poor fucking thing,” Nightwing says, fingers trembling and how easy, how easy it’d be — he knows how easily people die. A pull of a trigger. A snap of a rope. “Your soul is beyond saving.”
[Three hours until sunrise and Nightwing walks himself through a panic attack. Makes a call.]

“Has anyone checked in?” Bruce asked.
“Miss Gordon sent in her daily report and Master Tim called to inform you that he will be in San Francisco for a few days. Also, Master Dick is upstairs.”
Bruce froze. “Dick is here?”
“Yes, sir.”
“I thought he was in Central City visiting Wally West.”
Alfred raised an eyebrow, pale eyes piercing. “It seems that he is back, then. I believe he is waiting for you.”

Summary
"You know the inter-dimensional readings they’ve been monitoring here? They flared into a warp-hole thirty minutes ago and tossed out a kid.”
Now that was an interesting development. “Alien?”
“Human. A boy who claims he's the son of Dick Grayson.”
Dick blinked, waiting for Donna to crack and smile before telling him what really happened. But his friend looked far from amused.

Summary
“Time to choose, Robin! Will you save Red Hood? Or Nightwing?”
Dick is here? Movement caught Jason’s eye. Beyond a fake plastic reef and glass wall, Dick was also kneeling and shaking his head furiously. That changed everything.
“Get Nightwing!” Jason yelled, his voice cracking. Tim’s head whipped towards him. “Do it!”
“No shit!” Tim snapped back.---
There's a new trend amongst Gotham's criminals: making the Bats pick who to save. Good thing Jason and Tim both agree on who the right choice is.

Summary
Taking a bracing breath, Jason raised his hand to knock on the front door. And hesitated. Why was he here? Well, he knew why, it’d been churning for weeks in his brain like it was a damn ice cream machine. But why—ah, to hell with it. He knocked loudly.
Shuffling bled through the door, a muffled “one moment!”, followed by more noise before Dick opened the door with a very polite, “Can I help you?” The chain was still latched and the acrobat was clutching a floor-length bathrobe around himself like he was a scandalized housewife.
Jason threw up lackluster jazz hands. “Surprise!"
---
Dick always said his siblings were welcome anytime. Jason decides to see if that's true.
