Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

That Sweet, Kansas Air by CaptainDeadShips for WorkingChemistry

Summary
Kansas is crisp air, warm rays of sunshine, and comfort soothing his soul with each breath.
There’s not supposed to be any worry about it. No matter what’s happened in the world, where he's been, what he’s seen, what he was unable to prevent, the farm is still there. His mother is still waiting for him to come past that door and welcome him in as if he’s never left to begin with. His father is still out in the field on the old tractor, and when he sees Clark he’ll smile and say “Put your boots on son”.
What it’s not supposed to be, is a dreary quiet save for the soft sound of sniffles and the creaking of the branch that holds the old tire swing swaying in the breeze. The sun may be high in the sky today and the weather near stifling, but it feels like the darkest clouds have set up shop overhead.

Summary
No, Richard wasn’t some lowlife criminal.
He was hiding something; he always had been. But he had also been leaving clues all these years, beneath those kind eyes and that smile that men would go to war for. He left them intentionally, carefully, for someone smart enough and attentive enough to see them.
Mark had seen them. Richard Grayson was begging to be saved.
And somehow, this guy was the key.
Driven by obsession, a former acquaintance of Dick Grayson’s hatches a plan to kidnap a man who has been spending an awful lot of time in Grayson’s company lately. Things don’t go to plan, and soon he has both of them chained up in a warehouse by the Gotham Harbour.
No one is having a good time.
