Summary
Roy let out a bitter laugh and then stopped suddenly, eyes locked on Clark. His expression tightened, “You agree with them. Don’t you?”
Clark raised both hands. “Now, now. I’m not agreeing with anything. I’m just… I’m suggesting you be more understanding. He’s got a history, Roy. I’m sorry it’s difficult for him…”
“He’s here on the League's request to help. And it's not the first time. I thought you would at least back him up here.”
Clark’s chest tightened. “Of course, I do. I’m not taking sides. If Jason needs me, I’m there.”
“No, you aren’t,” Roy sighed. “You’re just like the rest of them. All you see is the angry Robin who got himself killed. You know he looks up to you? I was glad to hear you were going to Star with him because Ollie can be a real asshole to Jason. Now he’s just stuck with two.” He shoved past. “Excuse me.”
>><<
During a League Mission with The Red Hood, Clark is left wrestling with how his nephew's history impacts people's perception of him. And how much it has impacted Clark's own understanding of the Second Robin.

Summary
"I promise you I'll be better/ I promise you I'll try/ But like rubbing wine stains into rugs, it's my curse/ To try and make it right, but by trying make it worse." - Farewell Wanderlust, The Amazing Devil
---
“My son died.” Jade says. “I couldn’t protect him.”
A minute later, while Roy is still too stunned to respond, she sends a follow up. “Drop it, Roy.”
Except Roy can’t drop it. Not only is he, historically, very bad at doing what he’s told- but Catman had said the kid, the boy, had been adopted. So why did Jade think he was dead? -

Summary
After a week of being kidnapped by the League of Assassins, it came as no surprise to Jason that his chronic pain was choosing now to rear its ugly head. However, as he woke up sluggishly from his nap on the stone floor, he was surprised to find HOW bad it was. Now the Bat-Bros have to somehow escape this godforsaken mountain. Safe to say, Jason does not enjoy the hike.

Summary
Jason’s dead. Jason has been dead for almost a decade and the hallucinations only fully went away a couple years ago, so why does it look like Dick’s not-so-little brother is standing there looking very much alive?
In which Jason Todd went on a monster hunting trip with Roy and co. instead of a revenge tour, learned some magic, wound up mystically connected to a wandering library filled with enchanted books (thanks, Constantine), and got married to a cunning woman and started a family.
Now that Dick knows that Jason’s not nearly as dead as once thought, Jason agrees with his wife Imogen that it seems as good a time as any to move the library to Gotham for a while. Jason wasn’t planning on actually reconnecting yet, but he knows the bats won’t leave him alone now that they suspect the truth. He’s worked with them enough times in secret as magic-sword-and-gun wielding Red Hood to know how stubborn they all are.
Bruce faces a whirlwind of emotions: his son is alive, he’s a librarian/mage/assassin, he has a wife and an almost two-year-old daughter, and Constantine and Zatanna are basically now his in-laws.

Summary
“Gotham's got a firm grip, don’t she? Seems like everyone who ever gets out always makes their way back eventually."
“I never wanted to leave,” Jason said. "Traveled the whole world the past few years, all I ever wanted was to be right back here.”
Jason Todd has spent the bulk of the last seven years imprisoned, insane, dead, or wishing he was. For the first time since he chased Joker into Arkham, his life is standing still. Things are (weirdly) good with Bruce. Roy is amazing. Joker is dead. So, there's no time like the present to upend it all and return to the city that broke him in the first place. Sure, Gotham's an unmapped minefield of his worst triggers, a vicious hellhole with a quick temper and a wicked mean streak, but she's Jason's hellhole. And if he's obscenely, unreasonably lucky, he might come out of it with a home, a family, and a chance to be a hero again.
That's worth the risk. Right?
(This works as a direct sequel to You Wouldn't Even Recognize Me Anymore and Can I Help You Not To Hurt Anymore? You'll probably have a better time if you read those first, especially the former, but I won't tell you how to live your life.)

Can't Stop the Feeling (or the Gay Panic) by fluffpuff

21 Sep 2025

Summary
It starts with a karaoke night. Or maybe it doesn’t.
Over the course of one week, a series of completely unrelated (read: wildly dramatic, suspiciously timed) events unfold across the lives of several very queer, very emotionally unstable heroes. There’s tension. There’s pining. There’s pop music. And absolutely no one is communicating.
Each chapter features:
✨ One ship
🎶 One pop song
💥 One emotional crisis
💋 One bad decision (minimum!)By the time the week is over, someone’s cried to Taylor Swift, someone’s made out to Kylie Minogue, someone’s broken a window, and at least three people have had a gay awakening. Maybe the universe is trying to tell them something. Or maybe the super group chat is cursed.

Summary
Nightwing died. No one wanted to believe it. But Jason had been put in the ground only a year before, and no one could deny it. The family was broken; Bruce threw himself into work, Tim left the manor, Damien went rogue, and Alfred– he just tried to keep everything from falling apart more than it already had.
Months later, Dick Grayson woke up in a small hospital in Central City, alone, with nothing to his name, and no memory of ever being Robin or Nightwing.
With no family and no calling, Dick followed the only lead to his past– Gotham City. And… the Red Hood?
Or
My need to tell an atrociously-hurt/wonderfully-comfort fic about Jason being a traumatized and dangerous mafia boss, and Dick being a confused, traumatized, and yet wonderfully-powerful crime-boss-in-training. And then make them kiss. :)

Summary
"Ready, Jay?" The older man asked, rubbing his thumb over the other's knuckles.
Taking a shaky breath, Jason's eyes flickered up to Roy's. He nodded, giving a light squeeze to their joined hands. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready."
They let go of each other and unbuckled their seatbelts, getting out of the car. Roy grabbed their bags from the trunk and swung them over his shoulders, reaching out his hand. Jason eagerly took it, and they started walking. As they approached the door, Jason grabbed his arm, shaking his head.
"Nope. Never mind, let's go back." He gripped Roy's arm tighter, trying to back away. "I change my mind."
