Bookmarker's Notes
Damian’s tongue is glued to the roof of his mouth, and he struggles to unstick it enough to get out, “Richard.”
There’s a sharp intake of air, and a moment of deadly silence. Then, voice thick as if with tears, Richard says, “Dami? Damian? Is that— fuck, is that really you?”
“It’s me,” Damian says hoarsely, taking a short step forward. “I—I’m back.”
“Oh, kiddo,” Richard breathes. “Oh, Damian, oh my god. You’re alive. I’ve missed you so much, baby bird.”
Tears sting Damian’s eyes, and he doesn’t let them fall, instead surrounding himself with the sound of Richard’s heartbeat, faster than usual, speeding up with—with joy.

Summary
Dick is haunted by the ghost of Grant Wilson.
Yes, like his actual ghost. No, he’s not lying, why the hell would he lie about something like that, Slade? Slade, come back. Seriously? You’ve met aliens, you’ve literally entered the speed force, but you draw the line at believing in ghosts?

Bookmarker's Notes
“Can he feel what you feel?”
Grayson looks up at him, eyes wide. “It’s — worth a shot?”
If there’s even a shot in hell, there’s no hesitation. Slade pulls him into a hug. Wrong kid. Wrong way Grayson fits in his arms, too narrow-shouldered. Wrong smell of his shampoo, too floral. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It’ll have to do.
“You weren’t a good kid,” he says into Grayson’s hair. “You were a brat. Used to drive me up the wall. And that — none of that mattered one damn bit to me. You were still my son, and —“ he draws in a breath, shakier than he will ever admit, after the fact. “And I failed you as a father. I’m sorry.”

Bookmarker's Notes
“I counted fifteen,” Slade said.
Dick paused his wriggling long enough to splutter, “What?”
“You said you’d descend for a summer. By my count, you ate fifteen pomegranate seeds. That’s fifteen months. We’ll spend winter in Pakistan, find a snow leopard.”
Dick laughed, the warmth of it traveling through Slade as he let the kid down so he was holding Dick up in his arms while Dick had his legs wrapped around Slade’s waist, his face still flushed from being upside down, grinning crookedly.
“A summer,” he insisted. “The last thing we need is Bruce negotiating my return.”
“And next year?” Slade asked. Dick chewed his lip, and it made Slade want to run a thumb across his lip. But he restrained himself and kept himself a pillar, one which would gladly hold Dick for as long as the brightly feathered bird would let him.

Slade peeled open his good eye and glanced down at Dick. “You’ve got a mood disorder, kid. Stop hanging around older men and go to a doctor.”
“That’s so unfair, Slade, and you know it,” Dick spat, bristling. “I don’t choose the attention I get.”
Slade placed a hand on Dick’s hip and left it, weighty and covetous. “I know, kid.”
Dick relaxed again, for a while. But then Dick shifted, and then he nuzzled Slade’s thigh. Slade’s hand remained where it was, an anchor in the tumultuous seas of Dick’s heady, inebriated perception.

Bookmarker's Notes
He will listen as long as George wants to talk, and will talk as long as George wants to listen. He will be there for Olivia and Dhani, will promise to look after them, and after Ringo as well.
Because if there's one thing Paul knows how to be, it's a survivor.
