I decided to write this for a fellow Twitter mutual who’s a Dickkory fan. I know this recent film did our beloved ship dirty, and this can also help the rest of you Dickkory fans feel better. There is some angst, but the ending will definitely be worth it :) Also this is my second time writing Dickkory, and I’m still becoming confident in writing them.

Destruction. Lots and lots of destruction.

The Titans Tower was completely destroyed. The team were outnumbered and half of them slaughtered to the point you couldn’t recognize their bodies. Dick has yet to see Kory, not since the fight first broke out. If he was being honest, he didn’t want to find the love of his life body dismembered, but he needed to know.

He runs around the tower searching for his girlfriend.

“Starfire!?” His heart was hammering against his chest when he doesn’t hear a response back. “KORY!”

He turns the corner and the sight in front of him makes his stomach turn violently. Kory’s body was ripped in half and, her internal organs leaking out of her body.

“KOOORRRY!” Dick screams in agony as he fall on his knees.

Dick shots up from his sleep, breathing heavenly. Sweat clinging to his body.

It was just a dream. A terrible one at that.

Kory. Oh, god Kory!

He reaches his hand out to feel for his princess, and he thanks his lucky stars, and it comes into contact with her back and the warmth it brings.

Dick sighs in relief. She was safe and alive, sleeping soundly next to him. Kory turns her body, facing in his direction. She opens her eyes, blinking the sleep out of them. Her green eyes, bright and beautiful even in the dark, meet his blue ones.

“Dick?” The tears she saw in his eyelids set off her protective girlfriend instincts.

She sits up, fully awake now.

“Dick, honey, what’s wrong?

He wipes away his tears away. “It was just a dream.” He looks at her with apolegetic eyes. “I’m sorry for waking you, baby.” He moves to get up, but she grabs his arm to keep him in place. She gently grabs his face and turn his head to face her.

“Dick, please, you’re obviously in distress. I want to help you. Please talk to me.”

Damn it. Sometimes he forgot how well she could read him, and the look in her eyes that held concern and protectiveness made him break.

He takes a shaky breath. “.....You were murdered. Horribly. I-I couldn’t do nothing about it.” He felt the tears building up in his eyes again. “I couldn’t do nothing about it Kory. I couldn’t save you!”

“Oh, honey,” she pulls him into her arms, and Dick gratefully accepts. She feels his body tremble as he cries and let out his emotions.

Dick clings to Kory like his life depended on it. She was his anchor to reality.

Kory pets his hair and rub soothing circles on his back.

“Whatever you saw wasn’t real.” She press a kiss on his head. “I’m right here with you and safe. You’re safe. I can’t stop the dreams that haunt you, but I can remind you that your dreams don’t define the life you have in front of you.”

She pulls away and cups his face, wiping away the remaining of his tears. She kiss his lips and lean her head against his.

“What matters is the life you have right now. No dream can nor will change that for you.”

Dick smiles at that, his heart feeling less heavy. He kisses her soft lips and look at her with so much love.

“Thank you, my love. Truly.”

Kory gives him a brilliant smile. “You know I’m always be here to reassure you when you feel uncertain.”

Dick was going to lean in for another kiss when he heard small pitter patter heading towards their bedroom The door opens and reveal a little girl with a mop of black curls on her head and bright green eyes that match the ones of the women he loves with all his heart.

“Mommy! Daddy!”

Dick pulls away and smile at his daughter. “Starshine, what are you doing up?”

“Yes, you should be sleeping young lady,” Kory scolds her gently.

Mar’i climbs on their bed and wobble towards them. She sits down between her parents.

“I couldn’t sleep.” Mar’i looks at her parent with big puppy dog eyes and a cute little pout. “Can I sleep with you, Mommy and Daddy?”

Kory pushes back her curls. “Of course, my princess.”

“You’re always welcome to sleep with us.” Dick picks up his little girl and throw her in the air and catch her. And repeat.

“EEEH! Daddy! Fly! Fly!” Mar’i scream in delight. Dick laughs and start to blow raspberries on her stomach. Their daughter’s laughter fill their room.

Kory smile as she watch both of her hearts play together.

“Ok, it’s time to settle down now.”

Mar’i’s laughs die down and her father kisses all over before laying her down between him and Kory. She gets comfortable while Dick pulls the comfortable over her. Kory push her bangs back and leans down to kiss her forehead. Her little girl gives her a kiss back.

“Goodnight, my little princess. Sleep tight.”

“Night mommy.”

Dick plants one more kiss against her head. “Goodnight, Starshine. I love you...so much.” He looks at Kory who smiles warmly at him. “We both love you so very much.”

Mar’i returns the same sentiment. “Night Daddy. I love you and mommy too.”

After one year I could finish it TvT yay (?
