    Summary

    Red Hood rules Crime Alley, shoots the bastards who need shooting, and mostly stays out of the Bats' way. It's not pretty - Bruce is still prone to several disapproving looks and a lecture whenever Jason and him cross paths - but it beats getting the shit beaten out of him by the Joker, or being sent to Arkham or Blackgate, so their uneasy truce is more good enough for Jason.

    The Bats don't know any details of what happened to Jason - they still think he faked his death, for God's sake - and Jason plans to keep it that way.

    And then fucking Scarecrow wreaks havoc on Gotham with his hideous Fear Toxin, and a rebreather can only do so much when you're drowning in Fear.

    Some secrets have a way of getting out, even if Jason wants nothing more than for them to stay hidden.

    Summary

    Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
    The house he grew up in.
    Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
    He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
    What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
    He wonders if they can see it.

    or

    Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?

    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

    Jason is on a forced vacation from The Outlaws because he is a cool, super not jealous guy whose friends just happen to have other friends they like to hang out with and visit. For weeks at a time.

    Which is fine. He wanted some peace and quiet anyway.

    And that's what he insists when Tim Drake starts getting involved in his life one obnoxious case file at a time.

    Summary

    Between a rift with her family, her burgeoning culinary career, and the counseling sessions that she swears do nothing for her anxiety, Taggie O'Hara's life is kind of a mess- dating history included.

    So, she does what every other twenty-year-old on the London dating scene does, and swipes.

    But of all the people Taggie O'Hara expects to meet on the apps, her father's long-time rival and ex-MP Rupert Campbell Black is not one of them.

    And sure, maybe her love life was about as successful as England had been in every World Cup since 1966- but a thirty-eight-year-old playboy who's Wikipedia included more extramarital affairs than political victories was not the solution.

    Right?
