Summary
Prime chuckled, leaning over to press a small bandaid over the fresh stitches. Jason dropped the mirror into his lap, eyes falling naturally. He watched Prime’s concentrated face, his tongue sticking out in the corner of his mouth.
“Y’know, you’ve got pretty gentle hands for such a big klutz, C,” Jason said. He meant it as a joke, but his voice came out quiet in the space between them.
Jason needed a hand getting patched up, but in the end, he wasn’t the one that needed helping.

Summary
Jason cocked his gun, aiming it between the intruder’s full, dark eyebrows. They were furrowed in a mild show of trepidation. “Start talking, but you better start making sense, or I’ll rewire your brain stem to make you.”
“I was talking before you cut me off!” The other man countered with a shout, obviously annoyed. “I was trying to tell you—my name is Superboy Prime! I’m an anti-hero like you,” he explained. “Just from another world.”
“‘Anti-hero,’ huh? Well, I’m no anti-hero,” Jason scoffed indignantly.
Superboy Prime accidentally ends up in the Arkhamverse, but instead of sitting around waiting for goons to jump him or Batman to apprehend him—he seeks out everyone’s favourite Jason Todd variant: The Arkham Knight!
Allegedly, he forces Jason to spend time with him. Allegedly.Written for Primehood Week 2026: Day 1 - Prompt: Villain Era

Summary
Jason and Prime are working on a case of missing persons. When their last remaining lead takes them to questionable places, they find more than they were prepared for.
The duo have faced worse challenges—tsunamis, armed drug busts, and overzealous world-dominating opponents. Is this really what'll do them in this time? Taking care of a baby together without suffocating from the stifling air between them?
The pair make their best effort and find that some forms of joy do, in fact, come in small bundles.Series

Summary
“Do you…” Prime found himself asking before he could stop himself. “Do you feel like we’re redeemable?”
He was surprised by Jason’s immediate answer, as if he was expecting this, or maybe he’s always willing to play this game that never had clear answers. “Depends what your idea of being redeemable is.”
“Redeemable like… if we’re worth trusting again.” He thought of the billowing red cape, the broad chest with the symbol of hope embroidered across it in bold, bright colours. He shoved down the immediate thought that it made him feel like a fraud if he ever thought he could wear that suit again like he’d ever deserve it. “If we’re worth believing in.”
Prime has a hard time believing that he’s doing anything worthwhile in his path to redeem himself, and Jason tries to talk him down from the ensuing mental spiral.

Summary
Jason watched as the man cleared his throat dramatically—shifting his stance wider, standing taller and splaying out his broad shoulders as he bellowed: “I’m Superboy Prime!”
Several beats of silence followed as Jason tried and failed to process this information. He flicked his eyes down to the man’s expansive chest and for the first time registered that he wore the emblematic S—the red sigil boldly contrasted by black. Jason blinked for what felt like several moments as he stared at the S on the man’s chest—the symbol of hope that Jason’s always known, but it looked just far enough away from the original that it felt strange—and tried to wrap his mind around what was going on here.
Who?
Jason is out on a mission and when things go sideways, he finds himself facing certain death. Until a mysterious red-caped blur saves him! Superboy Prime is here, which means Jason has to deal with this new possible threat, but wait... he's kinda cute? Prime leaves an impression on Jason and it feels like he can do nothing but submit to it.

Summary
“Say, Lois, about the whole ‘Clark’ thing…” He saw the way her shoulders tensed over the jug of milk she was about to put into the fridge. “I think it’d be easier if you just called me CK, y’know? Since this universe already has a Clark Kent and we don’t need them confusing me with him, since we look so similar and stuff.”
For a moment she doesn’t move. Clark’s heart is in his throat. He just wants to make sure she’s comfortable. He just wants her to trust him. To see that he can be accommodating and considerate and good.
(or)
Prime's trying to fit in. To make everyone trust him and believe that he can change and be better than he was before. If that means letting them call him something else, then so be it, right? Surely everything would work out.

Summary
"You're persistent, I'll give you that."
He stepped aside, letting Prime slip past him before he could change his mind and kick him out. The door clicked shut behind them, and Jason crossed his arms as he tilted his head in thought.
"How did you get my address?"
Prime stared pointedly at a plant that he knew was fake, but poked at anyway. "Um. Googled it."

Summary
Jason rubs his hands into his eyes and takes a deep breath. “Ivy has these pollens to increase libido to loosen up her victims because she’s all contact poison—you got hit with one of those. And now you’ve transferred it to me.” Jason glares at him. “Idiot.”
“Oh my god,” Prime says. “So you’re, um, you’re crazy horny right now? Is that what you’re telling me?”
(Or: In the middle of a Jason-prompted break in the sexual side of their relationship, Prime inadvertently gets him second-hand sex-pollened, and has to fix it. Of course, he's more than happy to.)

The second the 2001 Toyota Echo pulls into his garage he knows something interesting is about to happen. If not for the fact that it’s practically falling apart, then for the frankly absurd amount of bumper stickers.

Summary
“I’m not getting rid of you, am I,” Jason says. It's not quite a question.
“You can try.” A strange look flashes across Prime’s face, a glimpse of something real, and Jason realizes just how fake everything else must have been for that tiny flicker to appear so jarring. “Historically, really hasn't worked out well for anyone involved.”
Or; Jason isn’t in the habit of picking up strays, but the inexplicably clingy Super following him around might just change that.
