“It’s my honor to try and my duty to love”

This piece/book cover is inspired by an fanfic which I really enjoy. I’ve read it like 50 times since first discovering, I love this author’s interpretation of these characters and their relationship to one another. Both are portrayed as complex and tragic individuals that build up a relationship based on a shared understanding and mutual respect.

Nothing is sexier than mutual respect!!

Of course, this isn’t to say there isn’t some misunderstandings…

Mary Jagori Grayson once told her son that we all carry love like a candle in our hearts.

Any such light in Slade Wilson’s heart had long since been doused, embers buried under earth and pointedly ignored. Estranged from his children, hated by his ex-wife, and with Wintergreen as his only companion, Slade is steadily sliding farther and farther from humanity.

Dick Grayson's light is weak and flickering, brought low by one loss piled atop another: Haly's Circus is in ashes, his son is dead, relationship with Bruce under terminal stress, and friends scattered to the winds. Slowly but surely, Dick is breaking under the strain of attempting to keep the family together in the wake of Damian's death.

Gently, inadvertently the two quietly begin to discover that their commonalities are stronger than their differences. When the Crime Syndicate invades, Slade and Dick are forced to make choices that will forever change not only themselves, but everyone who surrounds them.

We are our choices, and we are all unavoidably bound together in a tapestry of life. Fire leaps from one person to the next in a cascade of light, governed by the most beautiful and unpredictable force: the human element.
