Summary
"5 times Ballister wanted to/tried to tell Ambrosius he was innocent, +1 time Ambrosius believed him"
Ballister is in hiding after being framed for killing the Queen. Surely the man he loves would believe his innocence, if Bal hadn't run away, if he just went to him and explained. Except Ambrosius also cut off Ballister's arm, and that trauma doesn't just go away.
Featuring metaphors about sharks, having a panic attack upon seeing Ambrosius from afar, a Meredith Blitzmeyer cameo, touch-starvation, and lots of angst. (There will be comfort at the end!)

Summary
“I’d love to join you for the Bat-patented rooftop brooding session, but you kind of have to work with me here, on account of my legs.”
The anger rises again, filling Steph’s throat until she's choking on it. “How can you be so casual about it? How are you not furious about what was taken from you?” (Tim loved flying across the rooftops as Robin. He loved exploring every corner of this rotten, vibrant, stubborn city.)
(For all the villains who have taunted about breaking a little bird's wings, only two have succeeded. One died slowly by Spoiler’s hand a few months ago. The other still sits in Arkham laughing.)
Reverse Robins. Both Tim Drake, Robin, and Stephanie Brown, Batgirl, were tortured to death. Both came back to life. They're coping with it in different ways.

Summary
A year ago, Hood had stood over him with a weapon and carved into his skin and broken his bones. Now Jason was doing the same, without the excuse of the Pit poisoning his mind. Just Tim’s brother, shattering the trust they’d begun to build.
“I don’t want to do this,” Jason whispered. “Please, believe me, I don’t want to.”
“I know.”
Jason drew the knife downward.

Red Hood's second-in-command gives him an ultimatum: torture and kill a captured Robin, or an innocent civilian. Robin is disturbingly self-sacrificial.

Summary
Trapped in Harrow's mind, Gideon can still feel everything that happens to her. A short meditation on how much necromancy hurts.

I never realized before this— that pinched face you make all the time? I thought it was just annoyance, you looking at me like I was something disgusting you stepped in. It was pain. You make that face because you’re in pain all the time.

Summary
The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.

Summary
Tim was completely still, staring up at Dick with a kind of steely determination that was completely out of place on his young face. “You’re his brother. I thought that if there was anyone who loved him like that, it would be you.”
Dick tried to swallow, but his mouth and throat were completely dry. “It doesn’t matter,” he said hoarsely. “You can love someone to the stars and back, and it doesn’t mean you get to keep them.”
Love alone wasn’t enough, had never been enough, would never be enough. If it were, then Dick wouldn’t have had to be dragged away, kicking and screaming, from every great loss of his life. If it were, then all of Dick’s howling grief would have meant something.
—
There’s an entrance to the underworld beneath Gotham City. Tim is certain that the only way to stop Batman’s rampage is to give Bruce his son back. Dick just wants a second chance with his brother. It's an old song.

Summary
A collection of au Griddlehark ficlets of varying lengths, each based around the most wretched pun I could think of for the name Harrowhark. Will update daily until day 999 of the Alectopause, or until I run out of puns, or until trained snipers take me out. More specific warnings on each chapter, since these vary wildly in tone.
Current featuring: Hair-grow-hark, the one with two girls, a tower, and an excessive length of hair.
