Most of you know that I've recently become enamored with the DC Comics fandom. It was sort of inevitable-- I loved Batman and Robin when I was little, and my Smallville ties already made me pretty darn vulnerable. Also, the DC 'verse is a big, churning black hole of a fandom, and once it sucks you in there is no return!(!!!)

Since rediscovering my love of the darling and heroic Dick Grayson, I've discovered he's even cooler than the Robin I loved so dearly as a kid. I just want to take him home and feed him cookies! *squee*

... Okay. So, warning #1: Meredith likes Nightwing-- this entry will be heavily slanted towards this view. Warning #2: Meredith is a slasher-- specifically, a Dick/Bruce slasher. Warning #3: see above re the blackhole of DC fandom.

Also, spoilers for... everything.

That said....

ETA: I just wanted to emphasize that this is all in good fun and freely mixes different universes. It's in no way 'official' or all encompassing. If you want that, please direct your attention to Dick Grayson's Bio @ Titan's Tower.
