The Sons He Made | Dick Grayson / Jason Todd

They were brothers before they were anything else.

Not by blood. By a cave. By a man who built soldiers out of boys and called it love.

Dick Grayson was twenty-one when Jason Todd died at fifteen.

He told himself the distance had been necessary.

Then Jason came back.

Not the boy. Not anything soft.

Now someone is dismantling Gotham's underworld with surgical precision, and Dick volunteers to find out why - because Bruce won't think clearly.

And because he needs to see him.

What follows isn't reconciliation.

It's two men raised as brothers discovering that resentment isn't the only thing that survived.

Distance didn't kill the want.

And Gotham is the worst place in the world to realise you were never supposed to want him back.

Slow burn. Explicit. Not related by blood. Weekly updates.
