Summary
Jason shoved his jacket and helmet into his backpack with a sigh. He hadn't come up with a single way to properly reveal himself—for the second time. The first time, he'd been focused on making something poetic, dramatic, satisfying of it all. But with just a few words, it'd all been meaningless.
World's Greatest Detective, my ass.
OR
Due to a series of mishaps, Bruce doesn't know that Jason is Red Hood, and subsequently, neither does anybody else in Gotham.

Summary
“Damian,” Bruce says, very slowly, “do you know someone named Jason Todd?”
Damian frowns at him. “No?”
“Real tall guy,” the Joker suddenly pipes up from the holding cell, “white streak in his hair. Kinda looks like Bruce Wayne, if you ask me!”
Damian blinks. “Oh. Well, I do know a Jason that fits that description, but his last name is not Todd.”
“What the hell is it then?”
Damian frowns harder. “Al Ghul.”
And just like that, Bruce’s worldview goes to complete and utter shit.
—
Or: Jason decides that if someone has to be a monster in this world’s shadows, it might as well be him. This decision might’ve been influenced by the fact that Talia al Ghul decided to spring her son on him and also gaslight everyone into believing that Jason is her eldest child. Also, he kills his pseudo-grandfather and kind of accidentally becomes the new R’as al Ghul, because by now, he’s way too deep in Talia’s con-shit to back out.
…It all goes over surprisingly well.

All my wisdom teeth grew back, and all I got was this family by Desconhecida

Summary
Jason's wisdom teeth grew back after the Lazarus Pit. Annoying, but fixable with a quick trip to the oral surgeon.
Running into Bruce and Tim at said oral surgeon's office? Less fixable.
Jason is not mentally prepared for this confrontation. Not now. Not when he tortured the replacement only two months ago. Not when Batman chose Joker instead of him.
Not when they see him in the waiting room and look at him like he's a bomb waiting to explode.But Jason's a lot more honest when he's high.
And Bruce decides he's taking the very-hostile-but-also-very-high Jason back home with him and a very sad-because-he's-confused-by-the-drugs Tim.
What follows is post-anesthesia chaos, involuntary truth-tellingSeries

Summary
The Red Hood was supposed to be a tool, not a person - and Jason himself had long given up on treating himself as one. In most timelines, it stayed this way, as he went on with his life after death without really living a single day. This isn't one of them. Here, a complete accident leads to Jason finding somebody to share his love of literature with. And then he meets Steph, with whom he eats pizza, and watches famous tv shows and movies he missed out on. And Ridhi, who's trying to set him up with her grandson. And Maurie, whose essays he proofreads. And another person, and another, and another. All of the sudden, he realizes he's not just surviving anymore - he's alive. He's really alive.
Months later, a Batarang still cuts Jason’s throat. Joker still breaths. Bruce makes the same choice he always does. Technically, nothing changes; but Jason didn't expect it to change. He just needed it to mean something - and mean something it did.

Summary
That was it.
The absolute, final, last damn time.
Dick was going to kill Jason Todd. Slowly. Painfully. With his bare hands if necessary.
As soon as he could catch him.
What starts as a furious rooftop chase through Blüdhaven turns catastrophic when three Justice League members decide to "help" Nightwing apprehend the "dangerous criminal" Red Hood.
One blast of golden energy.
One sickening crunch.
Jason hits the wall and doesn't get up.
And Dick Grayson—the smiling, charming, well-adjusted one—stops smiling.
(Featuring: pudding-related property damage, Jason's concussed Disney princess revelations, three Justice League members who made a terrible mistake, and the rage Dick Grayson has spent years learning to hide.)Series

And there went Tim’s plans of staring at a screen for 12 solid hours, and he was so looking forward to rewatching days' worth of footage of a group of idiots ‘stealthily’ smuggling weapons through Gotham’s port... But Jason asked him for help.
Didn’t matter that he was downright exhausted, and the caress of sleep had been nothing but a short tease these last few months... It was nothing Tim wasn’t used to.

Summary
*This story is a stand-alone story, all stories in this series are stand-alones*
He was three steps away when he heard it.
"—and how is that even POSSIBLE?" He recognized the voice immediately. Tim. And he sounded... not good.
Jason should have left. Should have just aborted the mission and come back another time when Tim wasn't around. That was the smart play. The tactical play. But curiosity was a bitch, and Jason found himself moving toward the sound instead of away from it. He peered around the doorframe and saw Tim in his office, pacing like a caged animal with at least five empty coffee cups scattered across his desk. The kid looked like he hadn't slept in a week. Maybe longer.
Oh, for fuck's sake.

Summary
Jason Todd hid his bachelor's degree for four years. His family found out anyway (and they brought an air horn to graduation).
Now he's getting his master's, teaching high school English, and trying very hard not to murder any crime lords.
He's mostly successful.
After an incident with Black Mask, Bruce gently suggests therapy. Jason goes (reluctantly). Dr. Fate asks uncomfortable questions about feelings, Jason's students trust him with their stories, his thesis on the school-to-prison pipeline writes itself because he's living it.
Somewhere between answering emails at 2 AM and showing up to family dinners with mediocre baked goods, Jason realizes he's building a life.
Healing isn't linear. Progress isn't perfect. But Jason Todd is learning that sometimes coming back from the dead is the easy part: it's learning how to live that's hard.Series

Summary
He opens his door to find Damian Wayne standing there with two swords in both his hands, visibly fuming. This would probably be more intimidating if the squirt weren’t at eye level with the middle of his autopsy scar and dressed like a walking traffic light.
“Hello, Red Hood,” Damian grits out between his teeth.
“Sup, Robin,” Jason says. “I just got done making mujaddara. You want some?”
Damian stands still as a statue for exactly ten seconds, his grip on his swords knuckle-white. Then he very firmly nods.
—
Or: Jason really wants to get revenge, on like, everyone, but he keeps postponing his plans because Damian Wayne insists on stalking him. Somehow, the angry chihuahua child worms his way into Jason’s undead heart. This is not a drill.

Summary
The Bruce-mood. By far, the worst case of Bruce to deal with.
The previous victims suffering from Bruce-mood would all agree that they prefer lecturing over this chaotic version of the silent
treatment.While in Bruce’s presence, the other bats would also ostracize the outcast in fear of also becoming part of the target of the mood until
Bruce’s approval to reintegrate them back in the fold.There is no cure... unless you ask Jason.
Or, five times that Jason asked Bruce for a hug to help his family, and one time he asked for himself

Summary
Jason Todd has fought assassins, survived a Lazarus Pit, and run a crime bar in Gotham's underworld. Standing in Room 237 of Bowery Public High School with a poster of Jane Austen in one hand, he's absolutely terrified.
His first year teaching English is nothing like vigilante work. His seventh period, twenty-two remedial seniors who've been written off by everyone else, will make sure of that.Series

Summary
Jason Todd secretly got his GED. Then he enrolled in college for English lit, and kept that a secret too. Four years of classes, papers, and sleepless nights, and he never told the family. Because why would he? It wasn’t like they’d care.
Graduation day just so happens to fall on the anniversary of his death, and Jason’s already frayed at the edges when he walks the stage. He thinks he’s pulled it off; he thinks no one knows. Until the cheering starts, until he sees them all in the stands, until he gets home, overwhelmed, and finds a letter waiting for him, proof that someone cared all along.

Summary
"I’m not scared of you,” Jason snarled, scrubbing his nonstick pan ferociously, "I've already been working cases with you fuckers for months.”
Dick scoffed, "You talk a big game, but I'd bet money that you couldn't last a week in civvies with us.”
"Yeah? How much?"
“Five hundred thousand buckaroos.”
With those words, an idea sparked to life. Jason had a lot of problems, but a load of bat-money could solve the most pressing of them. “Are you fucking with me?” Jason turned to glance at Dick over his shoulder.
“I’m being so serious right now.”
Against his better judgement, Jason shook Dick’s proffered hand firmly. "You’re on, Dickface.”
OR: Jason, desperately in need of some cash, has no choice but accept Dick's foolhardy bet. If he can spend a week in the manor, attending every family dinner, without getting kicked out, he wins. Secretly, Dick is hoping that Jason can learn to fit back into their little family in the process.

Summary
"Red Robin. This better be an emergency," Jason gritted out.
The signal was crackly and unstable. Wherever he was, it was somewhere remote, "I mean, I guess it could wait. I probably have like an hour or two worth of oxygen if I don't panic."
"You---what? Where the hell are you?" Jason was already climbing back out of his window.
"Uh, I kinda got trapped by a cave-in. I tried to clear a tunnel, but it was still unstable. It’s not too bad, though.”
"Not too bad?!" Jason was shouting now, "You're trapped in a---wait, fuck, stop talking. You'll use up all your air! Just stay calm, I'm on my way.

A Warm Nest, Hugs, and Food. That's all we really need. by that1emowitch
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Summary
Dick always told Jason he was like one big huggable teddy bear.
Jason didn’t know much about the teddy bear part, considering he shot out kneecaps on the daily, but he knew he was big. 6’3”, built like a goddamn fridge, all muscle and skill—he could probably crush skulls if he tried. He couldn’t figure out why Dick would see all this and think cuddly.
But Jason didn’t entirely mind. He only pretended to, because how could a Bat ever just say what they feel?
But he liked it. Liked how he could somehow make his siblings feel safe. Even if each and every one of them knew the sheer violence he was capable of, they always came right to his doorstep when they needed comfort. Even Cass—deadliest of them all, silent as the grave—had a way of curling into him like he was made of something soft.
So today, when his little birds started dropping into his kitchen one by one, all in need of warm food and hugs, he didn't turn them away. He could never.
