    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

    “You saw the body?” Jason asks. It’s a stupid question—of course Tim saw it. Tim was the one who found it, who rolled it into the carpet in the first place. But there’s a second question wrapped up in his strangled tone, which is: Are you okay after seeing the body?

    Tim just purses his lips, almost indignant. “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a corpse before, Jason.”

    Right, Jason thinks, but it’s the first time the corpse has been your own fucking dad.

     

    -

     

    Tim is desperate to keep his father’s death a secret from Bruce at all costs. Which is how he ends up hiding a body with Jason Todd, of all people.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)
