Summary
So then it’s quietly arranging some time with his doctor, getting tests done, going over his PT regime, looking at his pain management in the meantime. The new meds help, for a while, but they only take the edge off. Before, they made it so he wasn’t in pain. Now, they only lessen it.
He rests more. Goes back to the doctors, back to the hospital, back for more tests. Makes up reasons to be busy and then stays home when his siblings and friends ask him on days out, and does his best to ignore the confused and then concerned looks his partner keeps shooting him when he thinks Dick isn’t paying attention.
But, as much as he wishes he wouldn’t, Wally is paying attention, too. And Dick really should’ve known better than to try to hide something like this from him.
Dick’s right knee has always given him a little trouble. Now, it’s giving him a little more.
He’s not really sure how to feel about it when his doctor suggests he should consider getting a cane.

Summary
AO3 is rife with Talon!Dick content. Do we still need more?
I am of the opinion that we always need more.
“the warmth’s returning” is a series of short fics set in my own version of a Talon AU, which all should be enjoyable on their own as oneshots but are part of a larger whole. They’re collected here in chronological order, not in order of posting.

Summary
“No comment.”
“You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”
Bruce gave him a flat look.
“Or maybe I think I can help.”
“With a case of vandalism?”
Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”
“And what makes you say that?”
“If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”
“Is that so?”
“That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”
Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

Summary
Being Robin feels like flying: steady, wind-whistle certainty that what he and Batman are doing is right. Even with his hands bloody, Dick doesn’t waver. He knows they’re doing good: permanently removing the murderers and criminals from Gotham.
Of course, nobody can fly forever.

Summary
The night the Flying Graysons fell, Dick Grayson fell with them. Though he survived, the accident left him paralyzed. This story reimagines how that single moment reshaped his journey, altering the continuity in unexpected ways. Amidst the challenges, there’s warmth, tenderness, and a scattering of lighthearted moments.
But at its core, this is a story about what it means to live—and to love.

Ch67
Angst, humour, socialism and sibling bonding (read: chaos) what more could I ask for
(Ch37 is the hospital scene. Bc I keep going back to reread it. And I never remember which chapter it is.)
