Too Much by NiftywithaN (PG)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing/characters: Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson
Length: less than 1,000 words

Why this must be read: Another story by this author, Too Big, was recced a while ago, and this forms a beautiful companion piece to it. However, it stands on its own perfectly well! The former features a young Dick Grayson with Bruce Wayne, and "Too Much" shows the flip side--Dick Grayson as Batman and Damian Wayne as his Robin. Damian is that wonderful mix of prickly and vulnerable that makes the character such fun to write and read about, and the story captures his relationship with Dick with deft strokes.
Excerpt:
Damian clamped his eyes shut and forced those thoughts away. It was a dream, nothing more. Not a nightmare, of course, because only children had nightmares. No. It was just a vivid, terrible dream, and it was ridiculous. Damian should not be so upset. Honestly. He threatened to kill Grayson at least three times a day, so why should a dream in which he actually carried out that threat bother him so much?
