area cryptid upset no one bothered to inform him of his tragic backstory by crimsonseekers

Summary
“My life is a nightmare,” Dabi muttered blankly.
“Nah, this is hilarious,” Hawks said, and while he wasn’t explicitly laughing, Dabi knew that those weird little chirps he was letting out were pointed at him. “Imagine if we go through all this effort and you don’t even have some sort of dramatic background or tragic backstory to justify you being this emo, you’re just a hot topic junkie or something.”
“That’s fucking worse.”
Or,
Dabi has amnesia and keeps reading conspiracy theories about himself in an attempt to figure out who he is, gets the League in on it, and they dismantle organized crime, revolutionize society, and ravage the hero system in the process. Hawks suffers.

Summary
“Dabi. Untie him.”
Katsuki’s heart leaps. Holy shit, can it be that easy…?
“He’ll go wild, for sure,” says flame quirk - Dabi? - entirely unimpressed. Katsuki’s eye twitches.
“It’s okay,” Shigaraki says, all smug-sounding again. “We gotta treat him as an equal. We’re scouting him, after all. And before he throws a tantrum, our little U.A. student should be smart enough to know he can’t win. Not alone.”
The absolute asshole.
“Yeah? Bring a few more guys and it might actually be a fair fucking fight.”

Summary
People looked at Dick.
When Dick was wound up with being an object of lust, he wanted to be tied up and tied down and put on display where it was on his terms, and no one was able to touch.
Luckily, Wally knew how to take care of Dick. He could take Dick to a club everyone knew the rules, and then he got to show off his beautiful boy just the way Dick wanted to be seen.
Dick was a performer, and he did love to be watched.

Summary
He knew that telling someone was part of healing. Even a stranger. Even another victim. Saying it out loud had helped more than he’d expected.
He didn’t realise he’d been recorded until afterward.
Turns out the creep teacher was also an amateur streamer, and the feed caught everything.
Rookie mistake.
When he woke the morning after and found far too many text messages. Checking his notifications had his stomach drop, ‘Nightwing’ was trending and this was where he learned of his mistake.
Nightwing was synonymous with sexual assault survivors—in all the ways he’d never intended to be.

He doesn't want to deal with though. And it's not until he reaches a breaking point in a case that he has to address what's been living inside of him.

Summary
He's suffered before, and he'll suffer again, and right now he needs to suffer through this too. He'll survive it. It's just his brain telling him he can't.
Or, fuck-or-die, but without any secret pining or remotely romantic feelings. Sometimes it's just guilt and horror.

Summary
During a fight, Slade suggests that Dick could use a little stress relief and offers himself up for the task. He’s not expecting Dick to accept.
He’s certainly not expecting to wake up chained naked to a wall, powers suppressed, entirely at Dick’s mercy. Oh well, when in Rome

Summary
“You’re pale,” Jason continues, then jams his fingers into the side of Dick’s neck again. There’s a fifteen second pause. “Heart rate is through the roof. Are you sure you’re not bleeding anywhere?”
“Nope. My blood’s all on the inside for once,” Dick says.
And then they must come to the inevitable conclusion around the same time, because Jason says, “oh shit,” and Dick says, “get me to Leslie.”
They both went to the Bat School of Field Triage. It’s the loving term they use for Bruce’s four hundred and eighty-seven slide PowerPoint presentation on common field injuries and their treatments. Dick knows, even half out of his mind with chest pain and feeling like he can’t breathe, that just because there’s no blood on the outside of his body doesn’t mean there’s no bleeding.

Summary
And now here Dick is, bringing another child to Wayne Manor as if that place is anything but a glamorized bear trap. If Tim knew the full story, he’d realize why he shouldn’t give a damn about saving Batman because Batman can’t be saved. He doesn’t deserve to be saved. Every instinct in Dick’s body screams at him to turn back and dump Tim on the side of the road. Mostly due to the fact that Tim just keeps yapping.
“There’s a McDonald’s on the highway,” Tim suggests. “I think the McRib is back. Have you tried the McRib?”
Dick pries his gaze off of the road ahead to shoot Tim a glare. “This isn’t a road trip. We’re not stopping for lunch.”
