Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”

Summary
The clues had been there all along. Jason pushed a shaky hand through his hair as all the puzzle pieces came together at once.
The black-suited underbosses who showed up like clockwork. The fancy cars, the omnipresent bodyguards. The manor built like a fortress. The clandestine surgeries in the conservatory. The guns and knives squirrelled away in every room. The shooting range in the basement.
Bruce wasn’t just a wealthy scion and society fixture, he was also a fucking mob boss.
~~
OR: the Mafia AU where Bruce has Gotham under his iron fist and Jason just wants to be a priest.

Summary
“I always figured a witch’s hut would look more…” Tim wiggles his fingers over the windowsill, adorned with various kitchen herbs and Rae Dunn pottery. “You know. Hovel-y.”
“That’s because it’s an apartment,” Bruce responds. “Don’t touch that.”
Tim doesn’t know how he knows, considering he’s still inspecting the bookshelves and facing the opposite direction. He makes a face, setting the purple mug that proudly proclaims sweater weather in spindly font back down where he found it.

Summary
She sighs again, “you and that damn hero complex.”
Dick shoots her a grin, “is it a complex if I actually am a hero?”
**
The BAU gets a new recruit. he's young, charming, and all of his answers lead to more questions.
It's one bat vs. six of the best profilers in the world and the second best tech goddess in history so it's really anyone's guess whether Dick Grayson will learn all their secrets before they learn his.
It's okay, though, he only has to last long enough to either keep Emily Prentiss alive or figure out if she's working with a mass terrorist.

Summary
Eight years ago, Jason Todd came back from the dead much the same as he'd been before it – except for the soulmark around his wrist, where someone had pulled him free from dead. His only lead on his soulmate's identity is the anonymous call that told Bruce he was alive. Well, that and this odd thing Spoiler has said, just now.
--Blue: You gave me your number earlier???
+1 (668) 228-626: i did?
+1 (668) 228-626: oh yea. I did.
Blue: This is not very convincing.

Summary
“Bruce, this is not what you think it is,” Jason says into the cellphone a minute later. “You need to turn around, we’ve got a problem.”
A fourth person, one immediately recognizable, is pictured on the final page. The last person is not facing the camera, instead they are intently staring at the blue of a computer screen.
It is Jason's own head of black hair framed by the narrow lines of bookshelves, turned away and unaware.
"A big one, can't emphasize that enough. You need to pick me up, now."
Little handwriting, the kind that is halfway to cursive, lines the bottom of the photograph, and it's written in blue ink- maybe from a ballpoint pen.
Please, be more careful.- Language:

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

Summary
Something is wrong with Jason.
This is as much as Bruce can gather, and it’s what he’s known since the beginning. It’s frustrating enough to make him want to tear his hair out. Because there's nothing. No toxin or external factor controlling Jason. Nothing that could lend itself to explaining why Jason has practically changed overnight.

There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

Summary
“Don’t move,” Jason whispers. “If we don’t move he won’t see us.”
“That’s for a T-rex and it’s a lie. They could very well kill you even then.”
“You are shitting on my hopes and dreams, Replacement.”
“I’m not. I’m just saying —”
“Todd,” Damian calls and when he gets no answer from Jason, he whimpers, “Drake.”
“I can't believe I'm saying this but he’s breaking my heart, dude."
“Shut up, don’t give in. It’s a trap.” Jason says. “It’s a trap —”
They lose both the battle and the war when Damian stops waiting for them and instead stumbles forward, almost drunkenly, and unceremoniously flops himself on Jason’s front, full-on crying against his chest.
“Jesus fuck, Baby-bat. Who do I have to kill?”
(Or the one where Jason and Tim come to the Manor on the early hours of the day after a long night of patrol and they find weird new kind of life form out of this world that cries with snot and all inside the Manor. It takes them some time, because they are both dumbasses, to convince themselves that's actually their little brother crying his eyes out.)

How to Stop Surviving and Start Living by Bionerd2Point0

Summary
Jason sat back in his chair, arms crossed against his chest, eyes closed.
He was waiting.
It seemed like so much of his life had been spent waiting. Waiting for Willis to get drunk enough that yelling wasn't adequate. Waiting for him to get out of prison so that they could afford heat. Waiting for his mom to feel better. Waiting for the right opportunity to steal his next meal. Waiting for the traffickers to sell him to his next dom.
There was a big chunk in the middle there where he was waiting to die.
The real question was: what was he supposed to do now that he could live?

Summary
Every piece of the signal Tim unlocked revealed more locks, and by the time he broke through the last one, he was already mentally rehearsing his many upcoming talk show appearances. 'Yes,' he told the interviewer, 'it was difficult for me, a ten-year-old genius, to break open the worldwide alien conspiracy. That's why it took a whole hour.'
When the crackling audio started, he expected some weird alien language. Maybe squawks and high-pitched squeals mixed with musical woofs. Maybe they wouldn't talk at all, and images would beam directly into his mind. Maybe they'd talk in practiced English with a Midwestern drawl like their other resident alien.
Instead he heard a low, guttural voice growling out of his computer speakers. "Robin," it said. "Are you in position?"

Bookmarker's Notes
Even though it’s marked as unfinished, there’s no cliffhanger and where the author left off at chapter 47 is the end of an arc and a pretty satisfying conclusion in itself. I highly encourage people to give this a try.

"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Summary
Jason ducks just in time to avoid being electrocuted with enough volt to down a whale, tutting disappointedly, “Now, now, that wasn’t nice. What if you hit my brand-new jacket?”
“What is your price…” Batman grits out, looking pained, “In return for the pelt?”
Jason’s eyes narrow, fury coiled low in his gut like a pit of vipers waiting to strike. “What piece you talkin’ about, old man? My pretty jacket, or the fur rug?”
“All of it,” Batman snaps, true fury making his voice pitch more towards Bruce than Batman.
“Greedy,” Jason remarks idly, “Don’t anybody teach you that sharing is caring?”

Jason is a selkie, and his pelt is... a point of contention.

Summary
Jason doesn't move from Bruce's side until the man opens his eyes seven hours later. He did it once before, but was fast asleep before anyone could say anything. This time, Jason watches his fingers twitch, then as a grimace stretches across his face.
Finally, dazed and scared, Bruce blinks up at him, “Jay?”
Jason holds onto his hand, and squeezes, “Yeah. I'm here.”
(Bruce returns from the kind-of dead and Jason takes it upon himself to pick up the pieces.)
