Summary
Jason Todd has a plan. Get into the Charitable Education Associations Annual Masquerade, complete his mission, and leave. He didn't expect to get stymied before he even got in the doors by an unexpected layer of security. Already planning just how many security guys he's going to have to go through to make his escape, he's just as surprised as everyone else when the gorgeous young man sent out to confirm his invite let's him through... as his date!
Suddenly Jason has just a single night to convincingly fake a relationship, complete his mission, reconnect with someone from his past whom he was never able to leave behind, uncover the sinister goings-on behind the scenes of a charity school, dodge both Batman and Nightwing as they stalk him through the ballroom, try to save a bunch of kids from a horrible fate, make up for a mistake he'd never even known he'd made and somehow, someway, try to rescue the last good bit of his childhood that he remembers from the forces trying to control him and maybe also from himself as well.
No pressure.

Summary
Tim first noticed Them when he was three years old.
It was his very first time on stage, after all, so he could be excused from not noticing Them before.
But he played his part. He followed his script, all while looking straight at the camera.
AKA
Tim knows he's just a character in a comic book. He wishes They treated him as human.

Summary
No human is permitted to see the Animal Court. But Tim, a feral, too-small thing, with tangled hair and teeth that yet remember how to rend, who scrambles about on four legs as often as two because there is no one to lift him to his feet - Tim, who wandered into the nighttime woods and has no one to call him back to the light of human homes - why would the forest have any reason to think him a man-thing?

Summary
It wasn’t often that he got the chance to be better at something than Superman, but here it was. The perfect opportunity.
Lex might never be able to lift a train with just a finger. He might not be invulnerable or able to shoot lasers from his eyes, but he could do this.
He was going to be a better father than him.
How hard could it be?

Laundry Day by CloakedSparrow

Summary
Alfred normally could afford to let his concentration shift away from his chores. As of late, however, he finds that one particular duty has taken significantly more concentration. That being laundry.
It was always so simple before. He could never mistake an article of his own clothing for something of Bruce’s. The same went for Bruce and Dick or Jason. Even when his eldest two grew large enough to possibly borrow Bruce’s casual wear items, neither likely would. They had very different tastes. Even if Tim liked something of one of his elder brothers’, he would never fit into them. The same went for Cassandra. Certainly, one would never confuse any of Bruce’s laundry for Tim or Cassandra’s.
Tim and Cassandra’s clothes, however, were another story.

Summary
But there were still lines Roy wouldn’t cross. Even if Jason was old enough, even if he was no longer gunning for anyone who truly didn’t deserve it. Bad enough that he’d dated Dick’s ex for so long. He had been Dick’s friend first, and you didn’t go after your friend’s younger siblings. You just didn’t. Besides, Jason wasn’t interested, so the whole point was moot.
Until that smile, and Jason could be an asshole, but he didn’t hand out his cruelty where it wasn’t earned. He wouldn’t tease just because he knew how Roy felt. If he was pushing Roy’s buttons, it was because he wanted Roy to push back.
-
Roy has a thing for Jason. Jason makes him do something about it.

Womanizer.
Dog.
Slut.
They’re jokes. They’ve always been jokes. No one ever intends to be hurtful when they tease Dick, when they pat him on the shoulder and remark on his latest exploit, when they ogle him from behind. It’s a joke. No one actually means it.
Except for the ones who do.

Summary
He dropped into a defensive position. A yelp sounded through the darkness and the creature thrashed harder, struggling to make it to shore. As it got closer, Jason could see the outline of a tail. It didn’t belong to any type of animal he had ever seen before, but it wasn’t terribly big either. That didn’t mean it couldn’t be a threat though; Jason knew better than to underestimate a potential enemy.
Wait, was that a human arm? What?

Summary
In a world of scientifically proven psychic abilities, the practitioners - the so-called Talents - are called on to serve the public good. This is never more true than in Gotham, where the Wayne Parapsychic Institute works diligently for justice and peace in what is otherwise a mecca of rogue Talents. Bruce Wayne is one of the most powerful Talents on record; a Prime. So are all his children. All, that is, except for Tim Drake; a winged donkey to their high-flying Pegasus. Fed up with the constant reminders that he will never be able to catch up to their flight into the stars and beyond, he leaves.
Trying to put the shattered pieces of his life together, he comes across Jason Todd; former member of the Wayne Parapsychic Institute and a powerhouse in terms of Talent, alive in an asylum years after everyone assumed him dead.
Tim is determined to help Jason find a way back. Jason might end up teaching him a way forward.

Summary
"Rule number 1?"
"Presentation. You should never go somewhere without the foreknowledge and expertise of the appropriate appearance. Make-up, hair, clothes, and posture can make or break any situation."
Cupping his face and moving it around in a circular motion - he knows it's just to make him laugh instead of checking to find any imperfections like she's pretending it is - she smirks at him before nodding encouragingly and asking, "Rule number 2?"
"Strategy. Pick out your goal, and figure out exactly who and what you need to get there. Do so sparingly and efficiently."
Giving him a kiss on the nose and a warm smile, he allows his eyes to sparkle in a way that he knows only she could ever tell as he keeps the rest of his face emotionless and blank.
"And Rule number 3?"
Finally breaking the facade, he gives her a lopsided smirk as he leans into her hand sweetly, "Manipulation. Do whatever it takes, and be whoever you need to be to get the job done. After all," he pauses to share a smile and so they can say it together,
"Anyone outside me and mine are just obstacles to destroy and pawns to control."

Summary
“You did not just ‘quiet hands’ me, kid,” Drake mutters, shaking his head, and shaking his hands, “No, no, I’m not doing this. Fuck off. Fuck you.”
He takes a step back, and Damian does not want him to leave because they are still angry and they still want to understand why Drake is allowed things they need too and they aren’t.
So they keep speaking.
“If I can hold my hands still, I assure you, you can, too.”
Drake does not continue leaving, and Damian knows that he wants to, and yet he doesn’t and nothing makes sense to them anymore and they just want to fight with Drake because that’s what they know.
“Yeah, you’re so much better than me because I’m fucking autistic, aren’t you? Congrats, Damian, you don’t have to move your hands, congrats on your functioning brain! Do you want a party for it?”
Damian does not know that word. It flies over their head and for a moment, they pause, thinking. They don’t bite back immediately, running through all the languages they know to understand this word and they do not find one.
It is tiring to not understand.

Summary
An AU where Tim was imprisoned by Black Mask for most of his adolescence, trained to be his successor. His reintroduction to Gotham - and to Gotham's vigilantes - could go a little smoother. At least enough of his morality sticks around that he can probably consider himself safe from being a supervillain.
Though he isn't quite sure he qualifies for "superhero," either.
