A Fateful Meeting at Cirque de Halley. (I hope that's right for the French)

I wanted to imagine Haly's Circus as Cirque du Soleil-inspired, with the Flying Graysons as fantastically made-up sun conure-esque performers. Sun conures are not only Robin costume-colored - they also hail from Brazil, a country which apparently has the second biggest Romani community in the world!

This illustration also riffs off how Batman was a more serious, somber comic series before the character Robin appeared in Detective Comics #38, around March 1940. I imagine, in-universe, Dick would bring color and life to Bruce's brutal grey life.

...Ah, they are such a fun dynamic.

#yes yes yes #they are perfect #look at my boy #I always imagined him like that #bruce wayne #dick grayson

A story where a big fight happens between Dick and Bruce, that leaves Bruce to bare Dick from visiting the Manor and to work in Gotham.

In this setting, Dick and Damien are extremely close to the point that said separation is causing them to be depressed.

Damien can't possibly go against Bruce because he doesn't want to disappoint him in him. And there's no way Dick is going to ask Dami to do it.

Enter our hero, Jason sees how much this is hurting Dick so he contacts Damien. And simply suggests "kidnapping" him.

Jay would be like. "Listen Kiddo, your father already hates me for banging his son. It won't matter if that hates intensifies because I kidnapped you, lol."

Jaydick and they are already in a relationaship with each other

but 12yo Jason wrote love letters to Dick and hid them in the library, adult Jason remember the corny letters, panic, try to find them, just to find out Dick found the letters years ago?

Pfffft, just imagine Jason waking up in the middle of the night and scrambling out of bed because out of nowhere he remembers those damn letters. Those sorts of details from his life before were never a pressing thing in the grand scheme of everything going on, but once the memory filters back into his conscious so much later, he's mortified. So, in dramatic Jason fashion, 0 to 100, he has to find every damn letter and burn them asap.

And poor Dick would start awake at the same time Jason throws himself from their bed. He's immediately up, too. Alarmed because 'are you okay? what happened? what??'

Meanwhile Jason is struggling to throw clothes on - almost an afterthought as he trips on his way out the door. And Dick turns on the light because seriously, what the hell? And there's his darling boyfriend, haphazardly dressed and sat on the floor with the sweetest blush staining his cheeks and oh.

Jason knows the smile that would pull at Dick's lips. It promises nothing but wickedness and no, nope. Not a chance. Go away, go to bed.

They end up at the manor together. Jason offers absolutely zero details, just that there's something he needs to sneak out of the library. Dick's an indulgent boyfriend, so he goes along for the ride. Hell, he makes it a date. They've both got keys, but forget that. They'll see if they can sneak in undetected. Might be fun to have a go in the stacks, right? That seems like Jason's sort of thing (and Dick's, because it's exciting to be relatively in the open //3///). It is Jason's sort of thing, but Jason huffs that this isn't the time. This is a pressing matter for Jason, so focus.

Neither of them focus very much because their impromptu mission slash date is more fun than the situation calls for. Sneaking in isn't so much a problem as their laughter giving themselves away. It's when they get into the library that Jason gets serious though.

Dick tries to help, but Jason adamantly refuses. If Dick wants to help, be look out.

(The only thing Dick is looking at is Jason's ass as Jason starts tearing through books - stopping only to glower at Dick, lips pursed as Dick shamelessly drags his gaze up to meet Jason's and smiles).

And yes. Jason scavenging for those letters. Only they're not carefully tucked away between the pages of all his favorite books.

The dread that would settle in him would be crippling. Jason would freeze in his spot, thoughts racing through worst case scenarios. What if Bruce found them? That might actually be the best worst case scenario. Bruce was always in denial of Jason's feelings for Dick, so he'd probably burn them. Or return them to Jason. Alfred definitely would have returned them.

His heart stops. Tim. The rat bastard. Probably saving them for blackmail material. And what the fuck, what if Tim shared them with Steph? Jason will never recover.

The possibility that Damian might have found them crosses Jason's mind, but there's no way that brat would have kept his disappointments over a lovelorn child's love letters because Jason is still Jason no matter how old or tragically dead he was for a spell.

'Let me help,' Dick would tell him, a gentle reassurance as Jason spirals. And Jason would slowly look at him and that blush would be back - only this time it's because Jason is actually genuinely worked up with embarrassment and upset.

The letters are stupid, but they're his. They were his to keep, his to give away. They're the most gentle reminder of one of the softer things from his life before - physical proof that his life wasn't all miserable, that he was young and dumb and hopeful.

'There were letters.' Jason would admit, head tucked into his knees, hands clasped around the back of his burning neck, 'I wrote you letters and they're gone.'

And Dick would be surprised, then endeared. He found the letters years ago during that period where Jason was lost to them. Alfred found the first - Dick looked through every book after for the rest. They helped him through one of the worst periods of his life; he's held on to them even after all this time.

'You were going to give them to me?' He'd ask, crouched beside Jason, bumping against him to draw Jason's attention.

It would take Jason a moment to recover, but eventually he'd look up and glare at the bookcase in front of him while admitting, 'No, I was definitely going to burn them.' All sentiments be damned, they're embarrassing as fuck.

Not to Dick though, hahaha. He'd love those letters like Jason loves him. 'But they're so sweet!'

Of all the worst case scenarios, Jason wouldn't have even fathomed Dick finding them because fuck. Fuck. The horror of his present situation would metaphorically turn Jason to stone. Just - pure mortification and betrayal.

Ensuing would be an argument of Jason wanting them back and Dick refusing - they were for him, after all. To which Jason would argue they were never sent, so no. Only Jason wouldn't really care in the end, because of all the things that stayed the same when he came back - it was this damn crush of his. Dick isn't a stranger to how Jason feels. Even when Dick knew [about the letters] (a whole other thing to be mortified by), he never teased Jason for it, either.

Because Jason asks, Dick still shares those letters with him later. Jason sits reading them with Dick glimpsing them over Jason's shoulder and when Jason looks -- Dick's smile is brilliant. Hopelessly endeared, helplessly in love. So warm and affectionate that Jason can't help but fluster, shuddering at the gentle press of a kiss to his shoulder as they reminisce together and laugh over times long past and the future they're building together, one day at a time.

Fun fact: this ask actually inspired another thought, but it was a little off the mark (because I honed in only on Jason writing love letters as a boy), so if you're reading this please know that a future dickjay thoughts is thanks to you, hahaha. Thank you, thank you~ this was fun!

I just saw a silly picture on pinterest and could not stop myself to turn it into a DickJayRoy meme lol

Jason would definitely see Dick where some fancier earrings once and decide “well this is a thing I must provide now” and would buy (ahem yes definitely buy) Dick plenty of jewelry.

and it definitely isn’t because he’s a possessive bitch and seeing Dick in things he bought him makes him go feral.

not at all~
