    Summary

    He’s just begun to fruitlessly pick at his hair when there’s a bang, harsh and loud, and he ducks, dropping his comb. The second one makes him tuck and roll out of the room, reaching for a weapon. He’s got his hand on a loose wingding when there comes a harsh hiss. Water under a lot of pressure cracking off of tile. Dick creaks up into a crouch, poking his head around the doorframe, staying low. His shower is suddenly working again, water hammering into the stall and sluicing out onto the floor. His drain, never very functional, appears to have given up entirely.

    It takes him half the wall to find the damn pipes and turn the water off, the shower blasting like a machine gun the whole time. For a moment there’s quiet, just water dripping. His phone rings where he left it on the counter, jumping with the vibration. BRUCE, it reads. Dick answers.

    “You will not fucking believe the morning I am having,” Dick says. “Everything happens to me. I’ve told you about my landlord, right?”

    “Dick,” Bruce says. Something in his voice makes the hair on the back of Dick’s neck rise.

    Dick has a bad day.

    this fic is like cocaine to me. it has everything: time loops, destructive spirals and self-sabotage, the horrifying experience of looking into the face of someone else and seeing a mirror of yourself ten years ago (and that mirror self is trying to ruin your whole shit)… action! maladaptive problem solving! raw emotional talks! humor! incredible mastery of pacing!! what’s not to love!!!

    Summary

    Every night at sundown, Slade and Dick swap bodies.

    As soon as they figure out how the hell to fix it and who the hell is responsible, Slade’s going to kill the sorry bastard that did it.

    That is, if he and Grayson don't kill each other first.

    Summary

    “Abby and I are getting divorced.”

    She draws in a slow breath. Runs a dissociated stare over him.

    “And before all that,” she asks, eyes landing on his hands, reality blurring into something theoretical around her, something too formless to flinch, “how good were you at making her come?”
