Nightwing is great at looking strong. He's holding it together after the death of the second Robin, Jason, about to send one of his best friends undercover, and is leader of the Team. If that wasn't enough, something is stirring among the League of Shadows, something personal. Against Nightwing.
At the same time, Dick Grayson is a student at Gotham University, struggling to find a balance between hero life and a regular life, trying to discern if there could even be a balance, or if he wants one. Then he meets a girl. A beautiful, smart, girl, full of life and laughter that makes Dick second guess his choices and the direction his life is on.
It all comes to a head in this action packed story about heroes, legacy, and love.

Season 2 | Book 2 Young Justice Dick Grayson x OC Celina survived. Barely. Now trapped in her old universe, she's forced to confront everything she thought she left behind - and everything she's becoming. Back home, the team has changed. Dick is no longer Robin. He's Nightwing now, and the weight of loss hasn't made him any softer. Worlds apart, they're both fighting to hold onto who they were - and who they still might be.
Nightwing: Heartache
Sequel to Nightwing: Heartless Willa has built a life without Dick Grayson. She's run away from Gotham and anything to do with superheroes to process and move on from her trauma. That is, until she's forced to relive her past under the thumb of Gretchen Goode and Lex Luthor. To get what she wants, she has to work and play nice with supervillains. Dick Grayson has kept himself busy as Nightwing. He's made it his personal mission to end the rising epidemic of meta-teen trafficking, but his mission brings the wrong kind of attention to Nightwing. When Lex Luthor makes a veiled threat to a certain ex-girlfriend, Dick comes back into Willa's life, with the intention of stepping right back out once the danger has passed. Simple, right? Behind the scenes, Lex Luthor, Gretchen Goode, and the League of Shadows each have ulterior motives. Working together, and apart, they zero in on Nightwing and the Bat Family. The action packed sequel to Nightwing: Heartless deals with love, loss, trauma, and what it means to be a hero. Highest Rankings: #1 youngjusticeseason3 #1 red hoodComplete

My Light Within Her Dark [T. Drake]
I 've seen multiple stories about Tim Drake, so I thought I'd make one as well, huge fan of young justice. This book is dedicated to @ZeninaD Her stories gave me the inspiration for theming it after Tim Drake/Red Robin. Her powers are unique, so unique that she has been on Batman's radar for almost 2 years. The League have heard rumors about the mysterious wolf in Gotham city but since it was Batman's turf they didn't bother. Batman explained to Nightwing/Dick Grayson, Red Robin/Time Drake, Red Hood/Jason Todd, and Robin/Damien Wayne that we needed to find out what's the mystery behind the wolf protecting Gotham. But as Red Robin investigated the wolf he also had his eyes on the new girl at school, Selena Karsen. She was this vail of mystery as she was the most beautiful girl in school and the smartest, he was intrigued by how she was playing hard to get. Little did they know that both their alter ego's were falling in love. This story contains swearing and little mature actions, but not smut/lemons happening here, I'm not that kind of writer.

If she did, she definitely didn't care. "Can i -" "Yeah." He chuckled, his minty breath fanning across her face for a moment before he pressed his lips against hers. It was featherlight and a little unsure, but Lilla didn't recoil or pull away. Instead, he felt her hand on his chest, holding gently onto his leather jacket. ~ βYoung Justice : s1-2 βcompleted βSlow burn ~ Rated MATURE for subjects like violence, death, and gore ~ I do not own Dick Grayson or any other cannon YJ characters.
