Dick gets shot, and somehow love comes tumbling. A JayDick romantic comedy ficlet. ______________________________________________ •Written November 2020• [Complete, 14k words] The idea for this fic was inspired by some lovely fan art by @pentapoda on Tumblr, which is linked under 'External Link' at the bottom of the first chapter (desktop only). Please consider clicking it to give the art a like and a reblog if you can! Also, Dick is back in Gotham instead of Blüdhaven in this fic for plot convenience purposes. This is absolutely a lighthearted rom-com, so it's not that serious! ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ (Photo featured on cover by Priscilla Du Preez [@priscilladupreez] via Unsplash; 'white pillows and bed comforter photo'.

Dick Grayson's life has never been easy, but he'd like to think it's been going better lately. He's been operating mainly out of Gotham again for almost a year, and has been in a steady relationship for just over. He knows where he stands with crime-fighting, and the family is all on pretty good terms, considering. Things are really going pretty well. Unfortunately, the balance doesn't last long, and old horrors from Dick's past end up dredged up alongside new ones. This is a story about love and family, but equally so about trauma and healing from it. Please heed the warnings in the preface. ______________________________________________ •Written May 2019 ̶ October 2020• [Complete, 97k words] Thank you to @violenttulips for the endless support and feedback! ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ (Art featured on cover by FightClubFIEND via DeviantArt; 'Night Wing Emblem'.
