Fics like Family You Made (Go Back, Do it Again)

He’s nine again– nine and new and knows so many things now so rather than try to go back– He thinks he has the chance to make things right. The bright blue trainers he puts on are a pair he hasn’t worn in forever, something he never thought about after he grew out of them (will grow out of?) a year from now, and sets off into the night and into the rain. The plan he has in his brain is not really a plan, moreso just a couple of half thrown ideas and maybe five steps into building back the life he had in the most painless way he could. Maybe, he thinks, maybe this plan can start off with the family he misses– because he’s sixty and most of them too injured or too old or too dead– Call him selfish but he misses them. He would rather find them than get himself back into that lonely existence he called a life before he woke up at nine. Dick makes do because that’s all he can do really. -🦇- Dick gets sent back in time, but don't worry, he's got this. (Probably)
