    Summary

    “You wish for me to infiltrate their ranks, master?”

    Dark Link tries to keep the incredulous disbelief from his voice. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter how idiotic this plan or his master is being. If that was what Demise wanted, that would be what it got. Demise did not accept disobedience. Or failure.

    Which is how Dark finds himself staring down the blades of nine heroes, wondering why this is his life.

    “So,” he begins. “Sorry ‘bout the whole, uh, trying to kill you repeatedly for millennia thing.” For some reason, this makes the heroes tense further. “…No hard feelings?”

    -Or-

    Dark Link joins the Chain.

    Summary

    “Jay Morgan, thirty years old, registered foster parent, approved for emergency placements.”

    “…Foster parent?” Jason repeated, incredulous.

    “Mr Thomas has been placed under your care effective immediately,” Laura continued, flipping a page. “Temporary arrangement pending review. I’ll be conducting regular home visits, both scheduled and unscheduled, so I strongly advise you to ensure the premises remain suitable.”

    She stepped forward. Close enough that Jason had to shift back a half-step or get bowled over entirely by this woman who was at least two heads shorter than him, and in doing so, she brought the kid—Duke—with her.

    “Hey—no, hold on a second—”
     
    OR:

    With Batman gone, Gotham is falling apart. But Jason has bigger problems. Like this kid who just got dumped on his doorstep due to a case of mistaken identity. What was his name again? Oh yeah. Duke Thomas.

    (Shut up Tim! Jason did not have Bruce's adoption disease!)

    Summary

    Jason's phone vibrated and he promptly answered it saying, "What?"

    As he listened, Jason's brow increasingly furrowed.

    "Hold on, Duke. Slow the fuck down. Social services and the cops? Why... Shit... Did you find out where... The police station... Okay. We're on the way... No. Stay in class. The last thing we need is social services up our ass because you skipped school no matter how good the reason... Yes, we'll keep you updated... Okay."

    Jason hung up the phone.

    "What happened?"

    Jason gave them a severe look and said gravely, "Tim's parents are dead."

    A father and son went to Ethiopia.

    The father didn't come back.

    In the wake of Bruce Wayne's death, his family has to figure out how to live in a world without him... and somehow manages to grow bigger even without his chronic adoption habit.

    Summary

    It’s raining, pouring down hard enough that Duke's own vision blurs with the pitter patter of the drops. Even the small alleyway awning isn't doing shit really to keep him dry and Duke lets out a bitter laugh. God he must look insane. He knows his nose is definitely broken and there’s a bruise forming on his face from talking a little to reckless at his new placement. But it was all good, he’d given as much as he got. He just has to make it past this storm. He just has to survive..
    He hadn't even heard the footsteps approach, but the gritty voice snaps his attention and when he looks up the red fucking Hood is standing over him. He jumps back half startled and lets out an embarrassing yelp.
    “Hey kid”
    Or the story of how Duke Thomas sorta became Red Hood's Robin.

    Summary

    Jason has spent so long being angry. Now? Now he's just tired. Exhausted and alone he returns to the only place he's ever called home. But with bats looming around every corner and others trying to steal his territory, life isn't as simple as it used to be. So when he stumbles across a local baker looking to start a bookclub who is he to refuse? Who knows? Maybe it'll help introduce some much needed normalcy into his life.

    Eliana has lived in Crime Alley her entire life. From running her bakery to patching up unfortunate souls, she spends her time giving back to the community that almost killed her. The last thing she expected to interrupt her routine was finding the new crime lord in town reading her copy of Pride & Prejudice atop her roof. But Eliana is never one to turn down a new friendship.

    Follow along as these two souls embark on a journey of growth, healing, and finding family in the most unexpected of places.

    Basically my interpretation of what would happen if Jason Todd had one normal friend in his life :)
