Summary:

He knows it won't last. He knows he shouldn't be here. It would be too good and good things aren't happening to Dick anymore; in this world, he lost his chance to make things right a long time ago. Still, he can't help but hope, just for a little while. The red Batman—and Dick knows there's another name he could call him, but it's too soon, too dangerous, too much—finally moves again. He looks around and stops to take in Gotham's vibrant skyline for a moment before returning his gaze back to Dick. "Is…" His voice is hoarse, whether from disuse or emotion, Dick is not sure. "Is this a dream?" --- Dickjay Week 2026 Day 6: Batman Dick/Knightfight

Summary:

Before Wayne Manor, Jason used to have nightmares. He’d dream about old clients, both regulars and one-offs; all the degradation and abuse he’d suffered at their hands. Ever since he started living in the manor—since becoming Robin—Jason has rarely had those dreams. Still—occasionally—when times are bad, when old habits get the better of him, when the expectations of the job become suffocating, or tensions arise, or even just when regular spells of self-doubt invade his mind, the nightmares come back with a vengeance. Like an old, forgotten client grinning, saying, Do you really think you can escape your past? You might look and act like Robin, but you’ll never be Robin. He’s never told anyone about those dreams, not even Dick. Some things even Batman can’t know. But when Jason nearly kills himself trying to save some kids from a collapsed building, he wonders if Dick has known all along. Dickjay Week 2026 Day 6: Batman Dick

DickJay Week 2026 (Day 6) Batman Dick/Knightfight | Fake/Accidental Marriage | Public Sex | "So I'm your dirty little secret?" He doesn't recognize the number, but the area code comes from the UK, so out of pure curiosity, he plugs the phone into a charger and goes to look for some cereal. It's not been 15 minutes when the burner rings again, he picks it up, and a calm male voice says, 'Hello, Mr. Knightley?' He does a quick run over the people who know that name and have that phone, but as far as he knows, there should be none. He says yes, either way, willing to see how far this goes. 'I'm Nurse Haynsworth, calling you from The Royal Victoria Infirmary, regarding your husband.' He moves back to his office and turns on his laptop, quickly searching the name and finding a hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. 'There was an explosion, and your husband was caught in it. As his next of kin, we require your presence, Sir.' He does not have a husband.
