Why this must be read:
This is one of the most accurate and true portrayals of Dick Grayson that I have ever read - canon and fanon both included. It takes place just after Wee!Dick's world falls apart with the death of his parents and he is taken in by Bruce. It not only nails the characterization perfectly, but it makes the reader feel what Dick is feeling, and see his world anew through his eyes. It's gorgeous characterization and a lovely insertion of a scene that belongs in Dick's history and is officially part of my head canon for him. Moreover, this sets the scene for a vulnerable and loving adult Dick, but also an adult Dick who is going to go on to be strong and a good leader, and one who will not "fall during a performance."
It sets the stage, in other words, for the Dick that should always be.
It also makes you want to hug this insanely brave little boy close to your chest even while you know, reading the story, that he'll be okay. Because the story makes clear to you every reason that this kid was the one who would go on to carve the legacy of Robin that no one else would fill quite as well.
In short, you should read because it's Dick Grayson, perfectly rendered.
