Summary
Are you still scared? Osamu asked.
The answer was yes. The answer was no. The answer was to keep kissing. The answer was: I wish I could’ve married you. The answer was: I wish we had never met. The answer was: I need you by my side until I take my very last breath.
Rintarou couldn’t say any of those things out loud, so he said nothing at all.
Prince Rintarou is desperate to save his kingdom. The Hero of Hyrule, Miya Osamu, may be his only chance.

Summary
“No comment.”
“You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”
Bruce gave him a flat look.
“Or maybe I think I can help.”
“With a case of vandalism?”
Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”
“And what makes you say that?”
“If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”
“Is that so?”
“That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”
Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

Summary
“Dick,” the therapist said seriously. “Why are you here?”
Dick floundered, searching for words that wouldn’t come. “I…” He thought of Catalina’s hands washing soap from his body, massaging his back, feeding him sweet strawberries one by one. “I… I had a girlfriend.”
It doesn’t matter if Dick always feels Catalina's hand on the back of his neck, or her breath ghosting against his lips. He needs Nightwing. He needs to do good. How else will he counterbalance the sin weighing on his soul? So he’ll lie to his brothers, to Bruce, to Alfred. He’ll even lie to his reflection in the mirror. Because he knows that he'll be alright eventually. He'll be fine.
He'll be totally okay.

Summary
Five times Dick Grayson stepped up in a situation that did not feel safe for his brothers, and the one time they noticed.
OR: All Dick's siblings know he is a mother-hen, but these protective tendencies tend to escalate at galas or balls. They assume it's because they cannot fight without their costumes, but they are wrong.
