    Summary

    There are three things the Justice League is absolutely certain about Batman:
    1. He’s got trust issues the size of Gotham.
    2. He probably has, like, two kids. Max three.
    3. He definitely doesn’t do softness.

    Until Nightwing gets dosed mid-battle with a new truth serum, and starts calling Batman Dad in front of everyone like it’s common knowledge.

    (Or: Lex Luthor rallies a villain team-up, the League calls in the Titans, and a delirious Dick Grayson shatters the illusion Bruce has spent years crafting)

    Summary

    “What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”

    And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.

    “I want to go to college.”

    And Talia had made that happen for him.

    (AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

    Summary

    Slade Wilson was a lot of things: Deathstroke, a renowned mercenary, assassin, master tactician, a perpetual thorn in the Bat’s ass; but if there were some things he was not, it was tolerant of tardiness,

    and a fucking nursemaid

    “Get the hell up,” Slade ground out, slapping his employer’s face, being mindful of the vomit smeared on half of it, dripping from his chin. The motion revealed the heat radiating off the boy. The Arkham Knight remained motionless from where he was lying in a pool of his own piss and vomit. Dead to the world. His slow pulse indicated he was sick and wouldn’t be cognizant for an indeterminate amount of time. Slade followed the breathing exercises drilled into his head from his military days, trying to quell the anger. He had dealt with worse than parasuicidal contractors. But the act just made the reek of acid and rot pervade his sinuses - doing nothing to help his temper.

    Summary

    “Speaking of B being mad,” Jason interjects for the first time, “I’m going to meet with Black Mask tonight. We’re gonna have a chat all friendly like. So if you hear anything down by the docks just leave off, thanks,”

    “Red Hood,” Batman growls over the comms, surely biting back the use of Jason’s full name, “How long have you known about this? Have you even considered-”

    “Oh no,” Jason says, “Oh God you’re cutting out. I can’t hear you over the sound of your own hypocrisy,”

    --

    Jason fights Black Mask and makes friends, not necessarily in that order. A rewrite of the first arc of RHatO (2016), though that is not required reading to understand the fic.
