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.

In Gotham, Bruce Wayne and you, another socialitie, have always been rivals - with sharp tongues and forced smiles. While Bruce plays the charming playboy, you keep your reputation clean and controlled, untouched by the tabloid scandals but never far from Gotham's elite. What neither of you know is that by night, you're both something else entirely. As vigilantes operating in the same shadows - Bruce as Batman and you as a sly, strategic force known only to the underworld - your paths begin to cross under different masks. Neither realize who the other really is, but the connection grows. A reluctant alliance forged through rooftop encounters, bruised ribs, and whispered questions in the dark. As tensions rise in both individuals, the lines between rival, ally, and something more begin to blur. But in a city built on crime and masks, how long can two men hide from each other? ༶•┈┈୨୧┈┈•༶ #1 redrobin, sept. and nov. 2025 #2 justiceleague, sept. 2025 #3 redhood, oct. 2025 #10 dickgrayson, oct. 2025 #28 batman, nov. 2025 #3 timdrake, nov. 2025 #4 brucewayne, nov. 2025 #4 justiceleague, dec. 2025 #10 gotham, jan. 2026 #2 superman, jan. 2026
