Summary
Jason is worried about Dick. There's too much on his brother's shoulders (for all Dick would never admit it), and no one else seems to care. After a helmet modification turned practical joke, Jason decides to make that making it Dick's problem might be the only way to look out for his brother. What he doesn't realize is that Dick is looking back.
Dick finally lowered his hands, brushing a clump of hair off his face, which slumped into a serious expression. For a moment, the man he’d become in the wake of Bruce’s death took his place, hair brutally murdered in pursuit of matching the look of a dead man, Atlas defeated by the weight of the world. Then he turned and took in Jason completely, from the top of his white-stained head all the way to his boots.
“Is that… Are those cat ears?”
Or: 5 times Jason tried to be there for Dick, and 1 time Dick returned the favour.

Summary
Jason of House Todd is a lord's bastard, shamed for the circumstances of his birth and what lies between his legs. The Gray Son of Gotham is a warlord, unceasing as a river's course, cutting a path across the continent with fury, flame, and the army at his back.
The Gray Son's ire is fixed upon Jason's home, ready to burn all he holds dear. Lord Willis's knows that if he offers Jason as a lamb in silks - whore or wife - the favour of the Gray Son may be won. The cost to Jason's life and soul is of little consequence.
The Gray Son’s eyebrow quirked, and his lips set with amusement. In the silence between them, Jason could not help but notice how handsome he was, like one of the southern wines which aged to perfection. Everything about him was intentional, the short, uneven crop of his hair, the carefully maintained beard. Gods above, he even smelled pleasant, leather and beeswax mingling with a rich musk.
The Lord stepped back, Jason nearly collapsing from relief. Whatever the Gray Son was testing him for, he had passed.
“I accept this gift,” the Gray Son said, unexpectedly. “Bathe him, and find some better clothes. Then bring him to my quarters.”

Summary
I felt for Ric, and the new Robin, but I would not stay here. I would not be pinned up like a bug, worshipped like a fetish, all to soothe the guilty mind of the man I could only assume had gotten me killed.
Bruce, no last name, escapes from the hospital after surviving a car crash. All he has is his name, his body, and the vague feeling that something isn't right. All he knows is that Gotham will eat him alive if he doesn't take the first bite. Landing a job with Two-Face is his first step, quickly spiralling out of control as the Something in his mind gives him skills far beyond his age. Skills that kill Gotham's worst of the worst, skills that attract a Bat and its brood.
He wanted a quiet life, but it's Gotham. Bruce is plunged head-first into the search for a dead-boy and into fights to separate himself from an identity others want to drown him in.

Summary
After the confrontation, Jason decides that enough is enough. He pulls himself together, holds his neck closed, and intends to carry on with his life, sans-Bruce and everything he stands for.
Then, the Joker escapes from Arkham. Again. No matter what Jason does, he can't force Bruce to change. But he's done playing by Batman's rules, and done letting Gotham suffer for one man's ego. His plan is perfect, flawless, except for one little blue and black irritation who happens to tag along.
But that's fine, Jason had dealt with better than the likes of Grayson before, and it's not like he's blameless. Both of them left Jason to die in the tower, so both of them must suffer. Right?
Or: Maybe the real saw trap was the family we found along the way.

Summary
“And the woman? Any lead on her?” Jason asked, as the pale figure reached for Bruce. His chest burst open moments later, blood trailing the blade of her knife.
“Of what woman do you speak?” Damian was quick to answer.
“I’m talking about the one who stabbed him. Obviously.”
The call went silent.
“Jason, what woman?” Babs asked, sounding a little afraid.
Or: Jason can see the dead. Rather, he can see one dead woman in particular, who is hell-bent on murdering the man he might just call his Father and the other scumbags who hurt the children of Gotham.
After a normal case turns into a supernatural nightmare, Jason is torn between what is right and what his heart desires. Forced to re-tread old paths and people he once held close, Jason races against the phantom clockhand and his own ghosts to save the life of the man who might just deserve to die

Summary
Later, when his mind was his own and the adrenaline of a resurrection bled into quaking fear, Jason would recount the events of the night in crystal detail. The impossible angle of Bruce’s batarang, the collapse as the floor fell out beneath him, the sudden pain of his crushed torso chased by a loss of all feeling.
He would understand that he had survived the unsurvivable, for the second time in his life, and would know the great beyond he’d tasted for but a moment.
Or: Jason can't die. Not by a bullet, a knife, or the drum-beat song in his mind calling him back to the grave. When a shoot-out gone wrong lands him back in the grave, courtesy of Bruce, Jason decides give revenge a second chance.
