#firefighter dick grayson

[kriffin-ink]

You’re telling me Dick “I’m two seconds away from fighting the government” Grayson would be a cop?

+ I made Haley an ESA for the firefighters (she loses her leg during the Chemo explosions)

FIC UPDATE-

SO, Originally I had set up a poll for this decision but after getting a decent majority right away and making a pro con list overall I decided to go ahead and make the change.

Dick Grayson is now a Firefighter-EMT in "The Drakes Spoiled Brat"(im sorry dad.)

Since its still early there were literally just two one liners I went ahead and tweaked and it slots it perfectly, for the actual "updated lore" im going to be posting a temporary note that will be deleted once chapter 8 is finished

That is all <33

uhhhghfgghg i come bearing gifts 🤲

[foxxywolf]

Dick being a cop is like that one girl that would date a dude that got out of prison for mass genocide and go "I can fix him.".

Like the police brutality and corruption in Gotham is probably the worst in America. It's something he witnessed as a child with Bruce while he was fighting the 'bad guys' that were most likely just doing what they had to, to survive in a corrupt society.

How the hell is he gonna look at how the police would kill someone because they were jaywalking and go, "I can fix this corruption in my work force because I understand what it takes to be a good detective because I was trained by Batman and Jim Gordan is a one in a million cop."

Like babygirl no.

You can't fix him.

He'll make you worse so that you can kill yourself.

It would make more sense if he were a fire fighter because they actually get shit done and save lives.

[crumpetsunderscore]

clark kent should have been a firefighter. no i will not elaborate.

[feralnightwing]

for my own sanity i try to pretend that dick grayson was never a cop. like huh? what do you mean? i've never heard of detective grayson. who's that? you're talking crazy.

[cloudyysworld]

We need more characters who just get out of college and decided to be a firefighter instead of policeman ,being a firefighter is hot as hell why is everybody sleeping on them????

[mysterycitrus]

there’s a pattern of behaviour in emergency services wrt police — meaning if emts or firefighters report police misdemeanours or unlawful actions against civilians then police might retaliate by not answering emergency calls from said teams that reported them. this is an established thing, at least among people i know.

reworking nightwing 96’s cop plotline (beloathed) to be dick grayson taking on the role as an emt to investigate a number of suspiciously timed murders and the police who are trying to cover up is a lot more interesting to me than just…. him being a cop. he’s still doing tangible good in bludhaven. he’s able to directly witness how the system has failed the people it’s supposed to protect. it adds an actual, proper investigative element as dick is forced to tactically gather evidence and build alliances. his ability to lead and think rationally during a crisis is a lot more valuable when performing life saving medical care vs kicking down a door with an assault rifle. let him drive an ambulance!!!!

☕️ on good and bad jobs for Dick Grayson

ooooh fun. i'll say something controversial on bats and jobs in general & that's that i think that the focus on what jobs would be good for them have a tendency to focus on like. full-time Good Respectable careers as potential jobs for them (& i think it stems mainly from bruce being a CEO & people thinking that the batkids should follow suit to maintain a civilian persona or w/e). and the truth is that they're all rich af and nobody is checking for whether the 'wayne kids' are gainfully employed, so there's no need for them to ever pursue. careers. on account of it would probably get in the way of their more important job. (also, there's something about the careers usually chosen for them that implies. well, nobody is ever choosing retail worker for them for some reason despite the fact they have the means to pursue literally anything & not struggle for it).

i'll start with good:

so all & all i think a good job for dick is one where he can connect with the public & forge community bonds. that being said, i am drawn to part-time work such as bartending or being a gymmastics coach (which i believe he's canonically done both of those) as the ultimate best jobs for him as they're generally low commitment, low stakes ways for him to get that involvement with his local community.

we could also lean into his love for math & make him an accountant, but like one who does a ton of pro-bono work and focuses in on helping his local community with retirement planning & taxes (little bit too high stress & busy, especially around tax season, for my taste but dick does like to make his life hard so.). or like. economist or health economist? maybe someone who is contracted to help cities with budget stuff.

if he does work a municipal job of some sort--any sort of seasonal recreational job would be best for him over anything else imo. let him be a lifeguard or something. again, none of them can commit to the hours needed to work full time for the city, but taking a job that would promote good in the city (being able to keep pools open for kids) would be a good, relaxing thing for him. i'm sure he'd appreciate being able to save kids from drowning, too. or a city planner. that sounds fun for him for some reason.

bad jobs:

listen, as much as i actually do like the cop job for dick, not in a he's there to reform the police department like dixon tried way, but in a 'i like when dick makes decisions that are fundamentally a bad idea for him that will eventually blow up in his face' way. cop is a terrible choice for dick lbr.

any flavor of paramedic/emt/firefighter. god, i think i've told you this before, but i genuinely think this is the worst possible job for any of them. ever. especially dick. don't be fooled by media that shows only the heroics. this is a job where, while you do save people & that's very important, it's more about having to be okay with all of the people you can't save. of which there are a lot. this is a job that requires so much ability to dissociate from being called too late/failing/etc in order to go about your daily life, that none of them would be able to do it without constantly ruminating on the person who they tried & it was impossible to save them from the start. these are fantastic jobs to make dick hate himself, i'll give it that.

on a related note, physical therapist/any healthcare job in particular. trust me on the physical therapist. (seriously, though, it's another job where it's like. u have to be okay wuth the fact that you'll never be able to help everyone.) but really any healthcare job in general....like dick would do much better in a job where he can make tangible change in healthcare and how it works to make people's lives overall better over healthcare itself. u think dick is going to do well in a job where he has to cut off someone's rotator cuff repair treatment because insurance decided the person was done 3 months in. no. any healthcare job would demoralize him too much.

any sort of influencer/model/social media personality. it doesn't make sense.

aerialist trainer. listen this seems like it'd be good for him, but bad things tend to happen when he goes back to circus stuff. let him not be traumatized for once. (slightly joking)

spy. sorry. but spy.

[allovesthings]

So thoughs in Dick Grayson meeting Evan Buckley.

Okay, two things:

First: I haven't watched 911 since season 5, I kinda dropped it because the hiatus was happening and never picked it up so this might not be accurate for Buck anymore,

Second thing: this was sent before Buck was confirmed Bi in 7x04 and i was going to answer by making a joke about Dick being Buck's type but now I'm actually thinking Dick might be Buck's type 👀. I mean.. honestly everyone in the comics has a crush on Dick so.., but also Buck has a thing for hyper-competent, kind men who save people so you know...

Honestly, it really depends how they meet, If this is an AU in which Dick Grayson is a firefighter, Buck might feel insecure at first and then actually become friend with Dick because again, this is Nightwing we are talking about, one of the most trusted heroes in his universe and that would translate to this too.

Thanks for the ask, this was fun (I'm sorry it wasn't longer)

[audhd-nightwing]

worst character defamation DC ever committed was making dick grayson a cop and i stand by that

"but he wants to help people as a civilian too!" theres about a billion other things he could do that are more helpful than being a cop. personally im a fan of EMT dick but thats just me

he'd definitely still want to be a civil servant, and help the community as a whole, so like a firefighter or a teacher could work too

you could argue he wants to root out corruption in the police department, which is true, but he's smart enough to know that's not possible just by being a non-corrupt cop among hundreds of corrupt ones. he can do much more to help people in a different job

[commiecricket]

dick grayson is not and will not ever be a police officer. he is a firefighter or social worker at best. he teaches kids gymnastics and carries his tiny dog. he probably graffitis walls with jason to keep the rent down. do not TELL me he is a cop

Care and Keeping and Kryptonite

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/4stxYgi by Mild and Hammered (pillage_and_lute) Mild-mannered junior reporter (and relatively recent superhero) Clark Kent gets his first big job all to himself. When the trail leads him to Gotham and the turf of his ally, and idol, Batman, Clark gets injured in the crossfire, unable to reveal his true identity. He's forced to recuperate at the mansion of Batman's apparent ally, infamous playboy Brucie Wayne. Bruce's kids seem determined to keep Clark in close proximity, thwarting his attempts to either return to his super persona or avoid Wayne's ridiculous flirting. But there's more to the case, and Wayne, than meets the eye. Batman doesn't rescue pretty reporters, that's Superman's schtick, but when a firefight forces Clark Kent of the Daily Planet to recuperate at Wayne Manor, Bruce will just have to manage. Juggling fatherhood and an overbearing public persona is bad enough, but fighting the investigative power of a journalist in his own home could bring down not only his secret identity, but his sons'. He's determined not to give in to the draw of big blue eyes, or, more embarrassingly, to his boys' meddling. And worst of all, no one can find Superman.

[glorified-red]

Hi! I read that your requests were open, I hope that's still the case! Would you mind writing some headcanons about the batboys with a firefighter reader? I was hoping that you could write about Damian or Jason but I know that you only write fics about Tim at the moment, so do as you feel more comfortable 🤗 Thanks!

Thank you so much for the request, my love! Sorry it took so long to complete it, hope you enjoy <3

Batboys with a Firefighter S/O

word count: 1,660~

warnings: reference of bombs & fire

I've been watching Station 19 and it is very good, made me very happy to do this request and gave me a lot of inspiration for it.

Dick Grayson

Given Dicks job at the police department, it is incredibly likely that you two met on duty

He works close with the fire department, so when he meets you, he doesn't hesitate to reach out

Expect police versus fire department banter, comparing jobs and trading jokes on the other departments expense

"The yellow on your new suit washes your skin tone out"

"At least I don't stand around giving parking tickets."

Learning from each other constantly

Dick teaching you how to regulate your breathing while running and you teaching him how to combat blue fire

Your favorite days are the days when the police and fire department team up for a medical field day, training each other on things like CPR and learning from the other departments to improve teamwork

Basically its more of an opportunity for teasing

"Oh come on, Dickface, your CPR is pathetic"

"You're supposed to kick down the door, not tickle it."

Sometimes though, Dick gets assigned to do calls with the fire department so you get to spend a full day with him on duty

These are the days that are either incredibly fun or terrifying

Every firefighter has a pager on them that triggers an alarm if the firefighter hasn't moved in awhile so that others can find them

The second Dick hears the alarm his heart drops

Because he's a police officer he doesn't have the ability to investigate alarms, he just has to wait outside the building an prey you make it out alive

But being a firefighter means you can't be involved in his cases either

Lengthy shoot outs and hostage situations are tense calls you just have to sit by and listen to the radio

Every time Dick's voice comes through the radio system a spark of relief and anxiety washes through you

Insane hours

Like, insane hours

It get really difficult to balance everything since the calls for work are so random and last minute

It becomes normal to visit each other at work whenever you can

Random surprise visits with food to keep each other going or leaving notes on each others desks

You have given him donuts before...he still ate them

Coffee dates on call, cursing out pagers and late nights together

Dick understands the dangers of this job more than anyone else, he's still guilty of safety lectures but he trusts you as much as he can

Just being each others biggest support and motivators through tough calls and long days

Nothing beats finally coming home to Dick's arms safe and sound

Jason Todd

Firefighters tend to be an annoyance to Jason

The second he hears sirens he just sighs and leaves the scene so he doesn't get caught with legal bullshit or police reports

Unfortunately for him, vigilantes aren't fireproof, even more unfortunate, this specific vigilante isn't the biggest fan of bombs and fires

Gotham PD and it's fire department always work closely with the Bats, its a right of passage to be saved by a Bat or to save one

So when the infamous Red Hood gets trapped in a burning building, blind sighted by his own fears, it was fate that you were able to get close to him

Fighting side by side to find an exit

Offering him your spare rebreather because he's burning through his oxygen trying to contain his resolve

Protecting him with your fire resistant jacket as a fire bursts, him protecting you when he has better visibility through his helmet

When you two make it out you insist he gets checked for smoke inhalation and how could he say no to you?

Finding a secluded spot so you can check him for burns

Its the one time he doesn't mind getting caught in legal shit

Whenever anymore fires break out he gets a little curious, Jason keeps his distance but will tune into the radio and watch from afar

For some reason you keep running into the Red Hood after calls, he's always hidden and no one else seems to spot him

The more fond of you Jason gets, the more you two meet up after calls

He does get incredibly nervous whenever you're on duty, he'll be damned if someone else dies like he did

Curiosity turns into worry, he'll always be nearby when you're on duty to give him some semblance of control over the situation

Tough calls happen, all it takes is one call for Jason to meet you at a mom & pop shop to decompress

He likes to see you in his jacket and will always drape it over your shoulders and use you as an arm rest

The amount of Fahrenheit 451 jokes

omfg he will consistently bring up Fahrenheit 451

When he first invites you over to the Manor he pretends to avoid the library

"Wouldn't want this 'firefighter' to burn my babies."

"Oh please, I'm surprised you haven't shot a bullet through one of them yet."

Working out together!

Jason would love to get you into weight lifting

Always being each others spotting partner and encouragement to get through the set, sweaty kisses as a reward

Tim Drake

Red Robin works a lot with the GPD for detective work and cases, its not often at all that he interacts with the Fire Department

But when you enter the scene, he suddenly has an interest in learning all about fires and how to combat them

"It'll help for when I have bomb cases!"

He does hang around for a little bit after cases get resolved to make sure the police get all the correct details and the information they need to close the case so he starts doing the same with the Fire Department

Sometimes he'll help clean up after the scene while he chats with you, which means he's around for some pretty whacky last minute calls

He claims its the best way to be close to the crimes instead of hijacking police coms

It is entertaining to watch people ax open a concrete roof to vent a condo, he's probably standing next to you taking notes on why since you're the captain on call

It becomes routine for any late night calls to be accompanied by a bored Bat who just wants to learn more to protect his city

Slow nights and Tim swings by the station to check in on you since he was in the area, you eventually invite him to have breakfast since he must be hungry after such a long night

Your weird hours paired with his make for some creative compromises

Finding him knocked out in the station living room in his Red Robin uniform is always worthy of a photo

Showing him how to use the fire pole and his cape getting caught

He bought the station a coffee machine because he ends up near the station late at night anyway

Around the station you guys are heroes, but at home you two get to be yourselves

No capes, no fire jackets, or masks, just comfy sweaters and soft caresses

Your time off together is nothing but safe moments and security within each other

Wayne Enterprises does end up becoming a proud sponsor for your fire department, so all your equipment is as safe as possible

Damian Wayne

Damian never gives the GPD or Fire Department the time of day when he works cases, he's pretty short with the officers because he just wants to move on to the next call

He ends up meeting you through Dick's workplace

Department bonding days near the pier playing corn hole and barbecuing

Dick invited him to practice his social skills and hopefully make friends

Damian meets you and you tell him about all the pets you've had to rescue from trees, he sympathizes when you joke about the cat scratches on your uniform

Suddenly Damian starts asking Dick when the next bonding day is so he can see you again

It happens monthly so Damian gets roped into cooking for these things, and as captain, you get in on it too

Cooking together feels natural, Damian helping you put on pesky rubber gloves that don't want to cooperate, accidentally swiping sauce on his nose to watch him go cross eyed, and learning how to make vegan barbecue as Damian starts making the departments invest in Tofu

Just wait till you introduce Damian to the station dog

Walking Ace and the station dog together in the mornings

Eventually being his morning jog partner because he thinks getting a little fresh air every morning is important, plus running with the dogs is always a serotonin booster

He always runs on the part of the sidewalk that's closest to the road, frequently pausing for water breaks

Since the departments bonded with Dick Grayson's infamous little brother, Damian gets dragged into doing any fundraiser

He hates it, but he finds joy in doing it by your side

You eventually get to do a pet shelter fundraiser and Damian has never been so touched

You will never show him, but you have a photo of him petting a newly adopted dog with the softest smile you've ever seen

After a particularly tough call, he'll help you wash the soot and ash off your face with the same gentle hands that you use when you wash the blood out of his hair after a long patrol

I love the idea that Damian will always gift you a watch as the relationship gets more serious

On the outside its a chic, slim watch with beautiful engravings on it

But it functions as a pulse monitor and tracks your vitals so Damian doesn't have to worry so heavily, it would interfere with his line of work too much

He does toy with the idea of being able to sync up your watch to his so he can send you little vibrations whenever he touches his

31 Days Of Dick Grayson

🦋☀️🦋

27. What if Dick never lost his parents, what would his life look like?

Life in the Circus

DC Bombshells

I imagine that Dick Grayson would never truly leave the circus, although like a lot of carnies I think he would take periodic breaks to try his hand at all sorts of stuff. I see Dick Grayson as the type of person who changes his job every two years because he has too many dreams and so little time. That being said, I don’t think he’d ever go to college, and as to whether or not he makes good money it all depends on what he’s picked up. He’ll still leave it though to work another job like half the pay, of take a few more seasons at the circus.

He’ll build a family because that’s his dream, but he’ll need someone who’s flexible enough to travel with him everywhere and endure all his job changes. Maybe a fundie baby with an entire fortune underneath them, or someone who’s another carnie, or jobless. Not a lot of availability for in between.

However, if he were to meet Bridget Clancy and date her in this universe, it’s possible her pursuing a career as a doctor could be funded by some of Dick’s more lucrative jobs, modeling, fronting a band for like two albums, and that one time he was Steve Daytons coffee run guy. After that, she could be a travel nurse (which are in high demand) and take odd jobs wherever the family goes.

Some other jobs I think Dick Grayson could take on: modeling modeling lots of modeling, flight attendant, private detective, diver, mechanic, bartender, aerospace, camp counselor, firefighter, rescue team, and so on.

I like to think he lives his best live by holding everyone he loves close while traveling and reaching as far as hd can in the world.
