Fics like At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb

Dick has lost people before, of course he has. They all have. It’s always hard, always haunting. But he can’t remember one like this. He just—can’t stop thinking about—about being pushed to that point. Of being at that point when you can’t handle things anymore, when you just want it all to be over and— And he keeps seeing Bruce, after Jason’s death, and Tim, after Bruce’s, Cass in the wake of losing Stephanie, and Jason after coming back from his own death. The risks, and the mania, not being able to stop for even a moment because if you do then everything will come crashing down around you. Or Dick fails to prevent a suicide on patrol, spirals into panic, completely whiffs an attempt at casual conversation, gets undeservedly yelled at and decides to drink himself into oblivion - And then Jason shows up uninvited, angry, and unexpectedly kind.
