Summary
“Jason’s alive,” Bruce says, like Dick hasn’t just lost his own life.
Alive, he says, like somehow Dick’s loss has driven Bruce into mania instead.
Like the words Dick would have given anything to hear three years ago now prove comparable to the 100,000 lives blinked out and the thousands more choking down their last toxic breaths.
“Come home.”
—
Sometimes, grief is mourning someone who's come back to life, mourning the space they take up now, and the life reconstructed in their absence that you’re now forced to leave behind.
And sometimes, it is mourning half a city at the same time.

Summary
“We’re not going out at all,” Donna grumbles, but even she’s getting tired. Dick suspects the man drugged both her and Garth at one point, and now that the adrenaline has worn off, they can feel it.
“You can say that again,” Roy mutters. Roy’s sense of humor is dark at the best of times, but even Dick can hear the weary resignation now. He’ll be damned if anyone is wearily resigned to death but himself.
“Wait a second,” Dick stops them again. He takes a deep breath. He shoves the sound of his parents’ bodies breaking on the ground like twigs, Jason’s cries, his team’s anguished protests, to the back of his mind. He closes his eyes. He breathes in and out. He tries to find a central point to focus on.
Impossibly, he wants Bruce.
OR
Dick Grayson is pushed to the brink, but he finds that he can't fall off unless he has a safety net, even if he constantly fights with said safety net, who is a drama queen and dresses all in black and storms into the medbay like he's on a warpath. Hugs ensue.

The "Get Out Of Jail Free" Clause by inimitability

Summary
In Monopoly, a "get out of jail free" card is a card that, as the name implies, lets the player get out of jail without paying for it. When you have that card, you don't have to play it immediately. You just hold onto it in case it's ever needed.
The Montreal Metros had a rule in their contracts nobody really followed. It was stupid so everyone broke it, and it was just kind of an open secret. They'd never FIRE you for breaking it, so who cared?
Well, a Shane Hollander who knew he was already doing something a lot worse that he couldn't legally be fired for and didn't want to give them a different excuse. That's who cared.
Or: A post-game press conference gets very honest in a way that reflects a hell of a lot worse on his old team than it does on Shane.

Life Is A Nightmare by inimitability

Summary
The thing about being gay and closeted---gay and closeted and desperate to stay there and terrified that the people around you will figure it out---is that it leads to a lot of walking on eggshells. You wear a purple shirt one time and a teammate says that it's girly, what are you, gay?, and you laugh it off then throw the shirt away and never wear anything purple (or pink, or orange or yellow, just to be safe) again. You can sacrifice that to keep your secret, your friendships, your career safe.
One locker room joke about bands that wear eyeliner, and rookie Shane Hollander (whose buddy Joe lost a stick of liner in his car on their way to Warped Tour that summer to celebrate the start of his NHL career) panics and says he doesn't listen to music at all, ever. To keep the lie going, he stops listening to music in public for over a decade---until Harris is trying to talk to him about a social media trend and references a song Shane is too distracted to pretend he doesn't know.

Summary
Ilya shrugged, but he looked sheepish as he rubbed the back of his neck with his thick fingers. “I thought you have—the scars?”
“Well…” Shane smiled, “Hockey kept me in shape enough that I didn’t really have to work hard to get rid of my—uh…”
Ilya raised a cocky brow, the universe now perfectly balanced again as Shane faltered and Ilya caught his footing.
“What, you are afraid to say the word boobs, Hollander? No wonder you are gay man.”
Shane Hollander is a trans man, and these are snippets from his life.
From playing pretend in elementary school, to getting his first binder, to navigating his relationship with Ilya- it's all documented here.
