    Summary

    Batman came a lot closer than he ever realized to breaking his code that night, but with the help of a friend and maybe a semi-estranged brother, the Red Hood might pull through. In the meantime, Jason is unconscious, Roy is desperate, and Dick is just plain confused.

    Basically, my own slightly self-indulgent version of the time between RHATO #25 and Annual 2 to add to the pile because why not?

    Summary

    Jason is kinda into BDSM.

    Dick kinda isn't. But he is into Jason, and a little pain isn't something he hasn't experienced before. He can handle it.

    It's fine.

    Summary

    Hood builds an unusual family post-Pit. The Bats are just as confused by the Merrys as the Merrys are of the Bats. Are they all fighting over custody of a crime lord? No, of course not. That would be ridiculous.

    Summary

    Slade should’ve known the moment he was reassigned.

    He was supposed to run the op with Jason. It would’ve been ridiculous to have anyone else on headset for it. Besides being poorly reactive to unknown handlers, Slade was the one who knew the op inside and out. He should’ve been running it.

    But then he was reassigned, the paperwork taken from his hands and the access removed from his computer.

    He should’ve known then.

    Summary

    What exactly defines... "Monster"? And how does a human, blessed by Gotham and draped in her shadows, masquerading as a Beast borne of night, manage to tame not one, not two, but three?

    Summary

    "Just because you don't trust me—"

    "Why should I trust you, Hood?" Bruce said flatly. Like he was commenting on the weather. "You don't listen, you don't follow the plan, you're reckless and emotional and it—"

    "It what.”

    "It's going to get you killed. Again."

    "Is that what you think?" He whispered, so softly Dick almost didn't hear it. Bruce turned to face Jason. "World's greatest fuckin' detective, doesn't even know how his own kid died? I should've fucking realized."

    Summary

    This time, when he opened his eyes, he managed to keep them open long enough to register that he wasn’t in the Cave anymore, and that Bruce was sitting in the chair by the bed. Jason tried to move, and he could feel a hand in his.

    When he was thirteen, the sight of Bruce by his side, the feel of Bruce’s hand squeezing his own, when he woke up like this—it had made him feel warm and safe.

    Jason wasn’t thirteen anymore.

    Summary

    Some things couldn't be healed with time. Sometimes, someone had to make the first move.
    --
    "Look, the last thing Jason probably wants is for me to get involved between you two, but reasoning with you is like arguing with a brick wall, except the wall actually has its shit together."

    Bruce clenched his teeth together. "Do you have a point?"

    Summary

    Bruce is thrilled when his wayward son is willing to attend family events and start mending their relationship. He pulls out all the stops for a gala in Jason's honor... only for his Jaylad to arrive under the thumb of a threatening date - one who seems to know more than he should about the family.

    Meanwhile, Jason has returned to Crime Alley after shooting the Penguin, and the months of physical therapy to recover from Batman's 'discipline' afterwards. He is maintaining tentative alliances with the more tolerable bats, but when Dick begs him to attend a Wayne Gala, the Red Hood finds himself scrambling for a bodyguard. After all, who wants to spend an evening undercover making nice with the vigilante who put him in a hospital?

    Or: Jason is stuck with only a single henchman as backup for a 'family' event, but Bruce does not approve of his son's date.

    Summary

    Jason struts into the precinct with a carton cup of coffee in his hand.

    “‘Sup,” he says, failing to stop himself from smiling a little, and lifts his hands up by the sides of his head, right where everyone can see them, “I’m doing everyone a favor. Cuff me up.”

    Summary

    Jason wakes up in a coffin for the second time, the feeling of satin brushing against his fingers and the thick scent of dirt filling his nostrils. He should probably start digging.

    But he doesn't.

    Summary

    "I kill so others don't have to," Bruce states firmly and clearly. This entire situation didn't seem like it could get any more bizarre, what with Bruce sitting in the dark and polishing guns, but somehow it just has, "While you are here you will not kill."

    Jason's throat is scratchy and dry with terror, but the insatiable feeling of being talked over and disregarded is a fresh wound. He can't back down from this if he tried, "I've killed. I still kill. Who the fuck do you think you are to stop me?"

    Bruce gently sets down his gun, and picks up the blade beside him with practised ease. Jason's blood runs cold when the man wearing his father's face says, "You will die by my hand if you try."

    (Jason meets a version of Bruce who has manifested his fears very differently.)

    Summary

    Jason Todd was loved best dead.

    Dead he was a saint. A martyr. Nothing was more sacred in the Church of Batman than martyrdom.

    -

    No one ever said that coming back from the dead was easy, not for the one who died and not for the people they left behind.

    Summary

    Adrenaline is produced in the medulla in the adrenal glands as well as some of the central nervous system's neurons. Within a couple of minutes during a stressful situation, adrenaline is quickly released into the blood, sending impulses to organs to create a specific response.

    You can get an unplanned adrenaline rush from:

    A panic attack.
    Having a traffic accident.
    A frightening experience.
    A frightening experience. A frightening experience. A fright...

    Summary

    “A taxicab,” Alfred said, after Jason had tipped the driver. “How novel.”

    “What were you expecting, Alf?” Jason asked. Alfred’s fingers twitched, and Jason felt like he’d been lectured, for being so over-familiar.

    “In my experience, prodigal children usually prefer to come roaring back on a motorcycle,” Alfred said. He made no effort to assist Jason with his suitcase. “It’s nicely dramatic.”

    Summary

    "Everything is fine. It’s just—sometimes Jason has these…moments. Moments beyond the verdant effects of the pit and the trauma and insomnia and general panic. Moments, flashes really, when the world turns cold and his stomach flips, his eyes burn for no reason and all thoughts in his head just float away. Moments of a deep and unrelenting sense of unbelonging, when his own presence, his whole existence feels like a liminal space.

    Moments when Jason Todd knows he is not dead—not anymore. But he doesn’t feel alive, either. He’s stuck, in the space between spaces, the moment between moments, when he wants desperately to wake up, or to stop feeling anything at all.

    It is possible, Jason concedes, that he needs quite a lot of therapy."

    Summary

    Assumptions tend to be harmless. Little misunderstandings, with no consequences but some temporary confusion, usually, but there are some incorrect assumptions that his family has made that Jason would rather were never corrected. Not if he's the one that has to correct it, anyway. Of course, the universe pretty much seems to enjoy screwing him over every chance it gets. Why would this be any different?
