Summary
Jason Todd forgot a lot of things after the lazarus pit's putrid green waters helped restore him back to life. Most of it was unimportant information, things that he didn't need to worry about, after all, he could always relearn names, smells, and re-read books. Lost memories weren't as easy to deal with the loss of, but he could always make new ones. The memories that remained were largely traumatic, and the others were slowly being uncovered as time passed.
He wished that Dick hadn't said that name, your name. Reigniting feelings and memories. Guilt was already a large part of his existence, and this new guilt about forgetting you entirely was just making everything worse. He shouldn't track you down in case it accidentally put you in danger. But he wanted to make sure that you were okay. It was a battle he lost against himself.
As memories he thought were long lost start to return, can he continue to be in your life without dragging you down with him? Can he be in your life without you knowing who he is? He doesn't know, but he wants to try.

Summary
Out-takes from The Star that Wouldn't Die that did not quite fit, but I liked too much to get rid of completely. Expect varying perspectives of certain events, miscellaneous scenes, and the like!
