Summary
This series focuses on the lasting effects of violence in the Batfamily among the Robins.
Chekhov’s Gun: After the Titans Tower attack, Tim suffers from PTSD, and Jason's frequent presence is not helping. He spirals and starts carrying a gun "just in case".
The Gun on the Mantel: A year later, Tim's abusive relationship with his father comes to a head. Jason offers to do something about it. Tim's parents die.
Jump the Gun: Damian arrives and the already violent batfamily dynamics are pushed to the extreme. Bruce doesn't handle it well.
A Smoking Gun: Jason finds out why Tim and Dick are weird with each other — the whole undiscussed Robin handover — and he takes that personally.
Gunpoint: Tim plays on Jason's insecurities for the sake of keeping them both alive because Jason is not down to hurt Tim again but the mission demands it.

Summary
Updated 10/2025
Jason Todd wakes up six feet under ground. Then he starts to remember how he got there. Jason escapes his coffin and remembers the words said in his fight with Bruce.
"I'm not your father Jason, I don't need a teenage rebellion from you."
Instead of searching out Bruce on his way out of the cemetery Jason wanders around Gotham in a catatonic-like state.
Years later, and with help from Talia, he manages to get into med school and start his residency. Unfortunately for him the only place that he never wanted to return to is the one place that still has available spaces to take on the beginners... and Bruce Wayne was going to give a speech to the new residents in the hospital that very day.

Once upon a Gotham Halloween by sticky_candlewax (nonsense_pancakes)

Summary
It's 2011, four years after Jason Todd's death, and Halloween is fast approaching. People say it's bound to be the most haunted night in Gotham in 80 years, with rumours wanting "Sergeant Larry", Gotham's legendary rendition of the Headless Horseman, to make a return. Meanwhile, Tim is the first to realise Wayne Manor is being haunted. The ghost seems to have a bone to pick with him, in particular... What does the dead Robin have in store for Halloween night?
Or: A cult comprised of amateur horror enthusiasts accidentally summons the spirit of Jason Todd in place of their revered cavalryman of vengeance. Halloween shenanigans ensue, family drama follows, and feelings about death are complicated, as you'd expect.
The thing about magic is that it never truly fades away, you just forget how to notice it.

Summary
The bodyguard is incredibly well-respected in the superhero single parent community. He is also, Tony’s realizing, something of an asshole.

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.)
