    Summary

    When a shipment of military explosives disguised as medical equipment turns up on the Blüdhaven docks, Dick Grayson follows the trail to Gotham—and to a temporary delivery authorisation for Wayne Memorial Hospital.

    He has every intention of handing over the evidence without making the trip personal.

    Then the hospital explodes.

    What follows leads through stolen patient records, abandoned clinics, old surgical programmes and a conspiracy increasingly interested in the choices people make when there is no way to save everyone. Someone has been studying Gotham's medical system closely. Someone knows how Dr Bruce Wayne thinks in an operating theatre. And someone has started asking what happens when the patient in front of him is family.

    Meanwhile, Dick is discovering that surviving an injury is considerably easier than recovering from one, Bruce is discovering that care and control are not synonyms, and the rest of the family are becoming increasingly difficult to leave behind.

    The closer they get to the truth, the less this looks like a series of crimes.

    It looks like an experiment.

     

    Or alternatively, I make Dick suffer for my own personal enjoyment :)

    Summary

    A failed mission opens wounds old and new. A missing woman. An unexpected November snowfall. A young boy torn between homes, with a mother-shaped hole inside of him, desperately scrambling to save the life of the man who is teaching him that love need not always be bitter, and it need not be earned every day kneeling, on frozen stones, with a blade on one's back.

    Or: Dick is injured, and Damian finds that he really does care. He really cares an awful lot.

    Summary

    Damian Al-Ghul Wayne had everything at one point. He was a prince. Ibn al Xu'ffasch. Son of the bat. Heir to the demon.

    He had never asked to be ripped away from everything that he knew, from the warmth of his home, his culture, his palace in Nanda Parbat. He had never asked to be shipped to a gloomy, grey city.

    Even when his father kept taking in orphans and ruining his plans for inheritance, Damian stood steadfast.

    But then his father died, leaving behind his newest orphan.

    A tiny acrobat with watery blue eyes and black curls, who spoke no English. Damian knew the boy never asked to be ripped away from everything that he knew, from the warmth of his home, his culture, his circus troupe.

    Damian knew he needed to be there for him.
