Summary
Dick Grayson loves too freely and deeply for his own good. Wary of the heartbreak that inevitably follows, there's a guardian 'angel' that visits each new partner with a simple warning: Hurt Dick Grayson and they'll be back for you. With a shovel and a grave freshly marked.
OR
The five times that Jason Todd gives the shovel talk to Dick's romantic partners, and the one time he has to give it to himself.

“Right,” she replied, disbelieving. When he made no move towards or away from her, she risked a quick glance at the shovel, an eyebrow arching up. She understood the implication there and seemed more annoyed than scared. “Really? Are we doing this again?”
He’d expected that. Jason chuckled at her taunt, pushing off the wall. He pulled the cigarette from between his lips, breathing out a halo of smoke. “You got a free pass last time,” he said with a shrug. Truth, for it’d been Tarantula’s machinations that tipped Babara’s relationship with Dick over into heartbreak, saving her full blame and, as such, a grave. “You can thank Catalina Flores for that.”

Summary
“We’re not like Tim or Damian,” Jason said quietly. “Our parents didn’t have a last name that meant money or power. Neither of us had a silver spoon shoved in our mouth until we arrived at that mansion.”
Jason held Dick’s gaze. “Biologically,” he said. “We’re trash.”
--
Twenty years ago, Dick attended his first gala; a glorious, glittering affair that left his eight-year-old self wide-eyed and slack-jawed. Becoming a permanent fixture of Gotham Society was certainly an adjustment, especially for a circus kid whose performer’s smile was brittle with grief. But Dick was nothing if not a survivor. He soon learned that he could dazzle his audience with a smile and a quick quip just as well as he could with a trapeze.
And, sure, Bruce had always told him to be careful. To keep a watchful eye on his drink, and not to stray too far from Bruce’s side. But Bruce was overprotective, and Dick wasn’t a kid anymore. He didn’t need to fear Gotham’s elite because there was nothing to fear.
Besides, they were his friends…

Summary
"How old are you anyway?"
Bruce smirks a little, “Pretty old.”
“How old am I?” Dick rephrases the question. Realistically, given the lines on Bruce's face and the grey in his hair, he has to be more than a decade or two in the future. But, well, Dick's still reeling from being twelve. He can't begin to imagine a world where there's anything past tomorrow.
Bruce's smirk sinks a little, but not quite to a frown. It's a distant smile, fighting through the shadows of whatever it is Bruce sees when he looks down at him. In a quiet, mournful tone, he says, “Not that old. Not old at all.”
(A young Robin and Nightwing swap places; Batman is always the constant.)

Summary
When they say Batman has a hypersonic jet, some plane that can go 3,800 miles per hour, tens of thousands of feet in the air without so much as a creak or a groan in protest, most people would say: “Cool. That's so fast.” What they don't realize is how bad it sucks when that plane does eventually break. Dick likes heights, but even he can admit that 57,000 feet is simply too high of a fall.
