When a mission far beyond Earth ends in tragedy, Richard "Nightwing" Grayson returns home with blood on his hands and silence in his chest. His younger brother - Jason Todd, the second Robin - was murdered at the hands of the Joker while the Titans were galaxies away. Gotham kept moving. Dick didn't.
Now every shadow laughs. Every reflection whispers. The man once defined by balance and hope drowns himself in smoke, liquor, and guilt. The lines between reality and hallucination blur as he begins seeing Jason everywhere - accusing, smiling, dying all over I'll again.
But something more sinister lurks beneath the visions. When fragments of Jason's presence start bleeding into their world - encrypted messages, impossible sightings, haunting echoes - Nightwing is forced to face the possibility that this isn't grief anymore. It's a message.
And if he can't separate the truth from the madness, Gotham won't just lose its guardian... it'll inherit his ghosts.

"I needed to protect you," he muttered, rocking slowly back and forth. 'A finger trailed down his cheek, nails scratching lightly across his skin.' "Don't let them touch you, Jason." He shivered, shying away from the whispers of skin still ruining him. "Don't let them-" Breathing hurt. His cuffed fingers clenched around the pipe, coldness seeping into his skin. His head was ringing. Something touched his leg again. He jerked so hard his whole body slammed into the wall. 'Don't touch me.' Or: An infiltration mission goes south and Dick is confronted with memories long-buried; of fleeting touches and warm skin, cold rain and broken friendships.Complete

Phantom Limb of the Heart (Jason Todd X reader)
You had mourned him. You had a whole life after him, after the gut-wrenching news that the boy you once loved-the reckless, vibrant Robin-was gone forever. Gotham was a city of ghosts, and his was the one you were determined to leave behind. But Gotham has a way of pulling back what it claims. Years later, a familiar voice in the quiet of the library stops you cold. Turning, you find a ghost made flesh. Jason Todd is alive. He's older, harder, marked by a white streak in his hair and a weight in his eyes that tells a story you weren't there to read. "Long time no see," he says, his gaze a tangible touch, stirring up memories you thought were buried. The past isn't dead. It's standing right in front of you, asking for a second chance you never thought you'd get.Complete
