Summary
Jason Todd dies, cradled in the arms of a man who had already seen too much death, and something in Batman breaks. His youngest of five children, in a coffin that should have held himself instead.
Therefore, when freshly orphaned Dick Grayson arrives at the gates of Wayne Manor, it is to a bleak and still in mourning family. He is not even given enough time to unpack his meagre set of belongings before he’s packing them again and is shipped off to a boarding school halfway across the globe.
And another one.
And then another.
And so on and so forth.
By the time he’s sixteen, he runs away from the worst of the lot, sick of being shafted off from place-to-place like an unwanted stray. Somehow, in his lowest moment, he catches the eye of a strange one-eyed mercenary, who presents him with an offer too good to refuse.

Summary
Without waiting for a reaction or reply, the man bore down on the gas and peeled down the highway, leaving Buck stranded in the middle of nowhere somewhere along Interstate 10.
And as Buck watched the red brake lights of his Jeep disappear into the distance, clutching his prescription of blood thinners tightly to his chest... there was really only one thing left to do. Tilting his head back until he was staring at the stars, he took a deep breath and screamed into the night:
“Fuck!”
And much like every other one of his recent cries for help, it had gone unanswered.
---
Buck gets carjacked, held at gunpoint, and stranded in Arizona the day before his first shift post-lawsuit. And that's only the beginning of his troubles.

Summary
It started again, when Billy Hargrove nearly killed him during the fight at the Byers house. The ringing in his ears, his teeth, the phones - all the phones, all the time. It’s been so long since he’d heard them again.
“Hey Finn, or should I say Stephen now,” the voice on the other end spoke. “Now just what sort of shit have you gotten yourself into this time amigo?”
Steve Harrington has always lived with ghosts. He just had to remember how to listen again first.
- Chapter Sneak Peek -
“…I don’t hate you Hargrove,” he said. “I sure as hell don’t like you, but I do not hate you.”
(Did not like Chapter 7. Will re-post later)
