Summary
There’s always been a bit of a disconnect.
A lot of things don’t click for him, never have, and he’d given up trying to force a square peg in a round hole a long time ago.
He learns from a young age that Love is raised fists and high voices, and that Dad is bared teeth and a cracked bottle.
It’s easy, when he thinks of it that way, an immediate connection that comes straight to his mind. It’s easy in the same way that Mom means bitter vomit and trembling hands, whispered pleas and small white pills.

Summary
The Tower has everything Tim could ever need: one desk, one bed, one window, no doors; and an empty wicker basket, sent up full, on a rope too frail to hold him.

Summary
Jason makes the mistake of looking up, and the wooden stake catches him under the chin, knocking him backwards. With his hands cuffed behind his back, he can’t catch himself, and he hits the concrete hard. It drives the air out of his lungs. Jason coughs, trying to get his breath back, but something is wrong in his chest and he can’t get enough air, can’t take a deep enough breath. He squeezes his eyes shut and clenches his teeth together, and focuses only on dragging oxygen into his damaged lungs.
The slow, lazy footsteps coming closer and closer to Jason’s prone form are more of a threat than he ever thought such a simple sound could be.
“Wow,” the Joker says above him. “That looked like it really hurt.”

Summary
The view shifts when Batman stands up. From this angle, the brightness of the city lights makes it possible to distinguish the outlines. Jason’s eyes are closed, and his head lulls backward, as if he was asleep. But there are wet streaks on his cheeks and his lips open and close slightly, soundlessly. There must be another movement too; perhaps he squeezes Batman’s hand, or attempts at a kick, because Batman readjusts his grip and says: “Shh. We’re going home. We’re going home.” Everything twice.
To the side, something glints in the darkness; a familiar shape, all sharp.
Dick pauses.
He rewinds the recording.
dick is welcomed back in gotham by his not-quite-dead brother and his father's refusal to share the report of a night from weeks prior.

Summary
With near silent steps, Batman rushed past him to the bloodied body. Gloved fingers felt for a pulse even though they both knew that Jason’s aim had been true. A quick death, more than this creature deserved, but a final one. No second chances here.
Bruce rose from his crouch like a mass of black, his cape dragging the shadows with it. “Jason–”
“Bless me father, for I have sinned.” Sarcasm dripped from his words like venom from a snake’s fangs.

Summary
Jason is dying in Ethiopia, and there's so many things that he wants to tell Bruce. Things like that he's a vigilante, that he needs help. That he's sorry.
But he can't say any of that.
Three years later, he runs into his adoptive father again. He has those same words on the tip of his tongue. But Bruce thinks he's dead, and Jason doesn't know him enough anymore.
He thinks he can force those words out anyway.
He just doesn't know if he will.
(An AU in which Bruce is not a vigilante but his kids are- Bruce is oblivious to this)

Summary
“Dick,” his father’s lips say–and it sure is his father’s voice, but it’s hard to reconcile the man sitting there, on the green plush sofa, with the father he loved, the father he mourned, the father he buried underground.
When Bruce died, he left behind two sons and a legacy.
Dick Grayson is familiar with legacies.

Summary
“Why won’t you leave me alone?” he asks it. “You’re supposed to be dead.”
so are you, it whispers back, a fog in his mind. It is curled up on the armchair beside the couch where he sits, reviewing the plan once more. if i could leave, i would. you’re evil. you don’t think i’m real. most of the time, you fucking ignore me. you’re more of a ghost than i am.
Jason cleans his rifle, the simple movements of which he does not remember learning so specifically. “You’re not real, so fuck off.”
Or,
Jason's past comes back to haunt him. Literally.

Summary
Talon thought the tiny human — child? — might be dead at first with how still it was, but then its eyes had opened, seeing Talon, and promptly scrambled backwards.
Talon wonders what it's doing here alone. Humans this size tend to be well protected by their nest mothers and fathers. Has the little one wandered off?
Talon coos again, scooting a little closer.
No matter. The tiny human will go cold if Talon leaves it here, and unlike with Talon, humans do not become warm again once they’ve been cold.

aka. Talon!Dick finds baby Jason and promptly decides that that's HIS little human now

Summary
On Jason's feet, are no longer the new shiny red trainers Bruce bought him, but his old and frayed shoes instead. They look even more decrepit now that the boy's actually wearing them, and it's a miracle they didn't rip apart when he put them on.
Something in Bruce cracks a little, but he's always been a good actor. He pushes the worry that he's missing something important somewhere else and smiles at the boy, "Got everything you need?"
Jason lets out a barely perceptible sigh of relief, and Bruce only notices it because he was looking for it, evidently glad Bruce doesn't mention the change in footwear, "Yeah! Let's go."
(Bruce really can't stand Jason's shoes.)

Summary
He blinks, eyes on Bruce. For a moment. Long enough to make out the man’s expression which is—
Bruce doesn’t look angry. Jason doesn’t know what he looks like, but it’s the furthest thing from angry he’s ever seen.
Jason doesn't die at the hands of the Joker. There are a couple of things he and Bruce might need to work through.

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
Batman is shadow overlaid on shadow when he creeps to the very edge of the building and looms on the ledge, peers over that sliver of space ( it really is a very small alley ) and into an apartment that he'd only seen once, crumbling and dark and cold and housing only one little boy, his little boy.
