A MOMENT THAT'S HELD IN YOUR ARMS. by orpheusaki for ocellar

Summary
Robin is used to Batman shouting at him. Mistakes happen, and he's not always the most careful, but it's expected. It's his job, even if it hurts Robin a little to look at Batman for the rest of the patrol — that's his boss. He gets over it.
But this is the first time Bruce Wayne has raised his voice at Jason, and Jason's entire world is collapsing on top of him.

MY CHEST IS ABOUT TO BURST. by orpheusaki

Summary
"How long have you known about me?" Red Hood asks instead of answering, voice modulated and unfamiliar due to the helmet. But Selina imagines that even if she could hear his real voice, she'd not recognise him at all.
Selina drops back completely, folding her arms behind her head and glaring up at the sky. There are no stars in Gotham, only the moon who bears witness to their confessions, "Since you tried to shoot me."
"Well," Jason Todd grumbles, sounding less amused, "Sorry about that, I guess."
(When Selina gets back to Gotham, she meets a ghost who's a long way from home.)

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
The aftermath of a random alien invasion finds Jason in a bad spot. Like, really horrible, very bad. He's got an injured kid at his feet and a building not actively collapsing above them anymore - this is both a good thing and a bad thing. This is what he gets for actually playing nice with the Justice League for once.
