Fics like Ghost in the Mirror

“Robin–no!” Batman shouted, and Dick jerked. He couldn’t stop it. Batman was looking at him, not Robin, who lay a few feet away, stirring. He knew. He knew, and the horror was written all over his mask. Dick turned back to the rifle, finger on the trigger, and tuned them out. One deep breath, in and out, and then he inhaled. He breathed out, only a half-breath, just like Slade had taught him. And then he fired. “Robin,” Dick said quietly, “is dead.” Dick has always heard that caged birds don't sing, but he wasn't caged. Slade didn't even keep a leash on him. He was Slade's apprentice, as surely as he had ever been anything else, and it was Slade who gave his life meaning and direction. Nothing would change that. Bruce–Batman had failed before, and he would fail again. Robin, though. Dick hadn't seen that coming. Apprentice Dick Week Day One: "That's my boy"|Batfamily Finds Out|Stockholm Syndrome
