Summary
“Don’t you dare tell me I don't know my own son’s face.” Familiar rage seethes at the base of his lungs. “Don’t you dare. Don’t you ever. I knew it against all reason. I knew it when it was impossible for it to be in front of me. I knew it faked and warped and desecrated and delusional and spitting mad. I knew it when it killed me to know it, to believe it to be true—”
“Describe it,” Dick challenges.
“I knew his face three years dead beneath a domino. I knew it as he carved a chunk of flesh from his own scalp and cursed my name…” His fingertips drift to a spot two inches behind his ear. Is that uneven texture the sign of a years-old scar, or just a tangle of hair?
(Or: Jason and Bruce get bodyswapped. It takes two full days for anyone to point it out to them.)

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
Jason and Bruce were having a pretty typical time busting Gotham's most recent kidnapping ring when they were suddenly caught up in time travelling magic. Bruce is overjoyed, knowing that he can use all of his current knowledge to be a better father than ever and finally emotionally provide for his children. Jason just wants to survive Bruce's obvious anger and resentment. If Bruce could reset the timeline, he'd definitely use it to brainwash and prevent Jason from becoming his violent, reckless self, right?
-When Bruce and Jason are sent back ten years into the past in the process of busting a magical regret-themed cult, Jason's dead set on finally escaping Bruce's disappointment. Bruce does not get the memo.

Summary
”Let me get this straight,” Jason says, rubbing his eyes, “You’re telling me that we’re stranded forty minutes from the manor, trapped in the densest part of the city during rush hour, and all we have is an unmovable, totaled-to-absolute-shit car?”
“Hey, it’s not like I’m happy about it either—“
“Dick. Do you know what that means?”
Dick looks at him, his shoulders slumping as the reality of their situation threatens to cripple him. Jason looks back at him, mouth a thin line, his countenance emanating a similar aura of grim exhaustion.
“We’re going to have to take the bus.”
