Summary
KORY: The team is… concerned… about you.
ROY: That’s crap. You’re new here, Kory; you’ll learn that this team isn’t the Titans. We’re not one big happy family. But if they’re worried about my head and heart not being in this… about me feeling slighted… Well, I’m a big boy. A big boy who shoots arrows and guns. I’m here for the team. I’m here to do the job.
KORY: What about Dick?
ROY: He will do the best job imaginable. He will always give one hundred ten percent. Particularly to prove you all wrong.
from Outsiders (2003) #17
Dick Grayson and his violent deconstruction. A character study.

Summary
“Would you change what you did if I yelled?” he asks.
Voice full of promise, Dick answers, “No.”
It’s not disappointment, as such, that courses through him, just something terrible that already existed, ossifying in his lungs hard enough to make breathing hurt.
“That’s what I thought,” Roy says blithely.
Relief is a pipe dream. A brief insight into Roy Harper's headspace after Infinite Crisis (2005).

Summary
Barely a year into his tenure in Blüdhaven, Dick is content with spending his Christmas alone--or so he tells himself. Batman has other plans.
_______
"I can't give you what you want, Bruce," Dick murmurs.
The cape rustles. Pulls tighter. Batman presses against his side, and for a moment, Robin allows himself to melt into the touch. Ghosts of Christmas past. It would be nice, and in a way it is, if not for the simple fact that he can't help but remember. That he can't allow himself to forget. Dick isn't the right ghost.
"No one can," Bruce says, his eyes fixed on the flickering streetlight.

Summary
She was finding it hard to look at anyone who wasn’t Gwen.
She was dancing again, her hands in her hair, keeping it up in a blond pile on top of her head and leaving the graceful curve of her neck bare. Ostensibly Flash was dancing with her, but he—understandably— seemed mostly content to sway at her side, drinking her in. Every line of her body seemed to catch the light, fractured as it was into different hues by the disco ball above them. Like some kind of silver fish, gone rainbow in sunlight through clear water. Her dress shifted over her fishnets at the thigh and MJ shifted in response, as if she could feel the contrasting textures against her own skin, cool silk against taught threads.
And Peter, Gwen’s beloved boyfriend, was talking about Ned Leeds.

Bookmarker's Notes
Gwen took a breath, staring up at her, her lipstick and MJ’s smeared across her chin and cheeks, her eyes huge and dark. For an instant MJ wondered if she looked at Peter like this, if he was struck as dumb by it, if it made his heart pound like hers. The thought spiked through her, arousal and envy and distant guilt propelling her forward, open-mouthed, kissing Gwen hard enough that she collapsed backward onto the bed with a little yelp.

Bookmarker's Notes
“You wanna do this again?” Roy says, so wearily. He’s unrecognisable, Dick thinks. Both of them are. “Is this all you ever want to do?”
this is like crack to me. it has everything i love: the reverberations of outsiders-typical dickroy rancidity, blüdhaven being nuked, dick's suicidality. devastating and perfect.
