Summary
Khalid Nassour's work as an orderly in Arkham Asylum is the stuff of nightmares. The pay's bad, his coworkers are corrupt, and the patients are as bad as can be.
But nothing is quite as bad as the fact that the Joker's keeping the second Robin captive in the basement, and Khalid's found himself in the terrible position of being expected to keep that secret.
With both of their lives on the line, Khalid enacts a daring—and stupid—plan: smuggle the second Robin out of Arkham, nurse him back to health, and hopefully don't get killed by the Joker.
Easier said than done.

An Arkham-verse AU featuring Khalid Nassour—Doctor Fate in the comics—intervening in the captivity of Jason Todd.

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
Jason Todd spends the night in a dumpster with an Avenger and the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.
“So, that’s how you guys met?” Jason asks, “One of you fell in the other one’s dumpster, boom, friends for life?”
There’s an awkward silence.
“I am firmly of the belief,” Clint says, “that when two men, in the pursuit of justice and vigilantism, find themselves in the same trash receptacle, lasting bonds are formed.”
Daredevil snorts. “He thinks it sounds better if he’s not the only superhero who’s been dumped in the trash.”
