Jason’s heart is one where love and loss meld together and all he feels is a fire in his chest and a roaring in his ears when he thinks of Bruce’s words.
Distance has not been kind to us. I need you so much closer. Please come back to me.
(dumping grounds for various sad-jason pieces! will be sporadically but likely somewhat-frequently updated)

An alternate universe in which the Pit's magic is personified as godlike eldritch horrors. One possesses the Red Hood, leading to a very different kind of confrontation with the Bruce and the family, a very different kind of reconciliation, and a lot of fluff and nonsense in between.

Summary
Another pause. "And you-" Dick coughed. "And you've dealt with this kind of stuff before?"
"Who. The fuck. Else. Is going to." He gritted, glaring across at him. Dick went quiet, and the basement's darkness seemed to flatten the air around them as they stood in each other's company, slightly awkward.
Dick swallowed, making an aborted gesture over at him. "So what are you a ghostbuster or something?"
"Oh my god," Jason groaned to himself, instantly turning and walking over to the hole leading out, preparing his grapple so he could leave. He did not have time for this.
-
Having use of the All-Blades means Jason's pretty used to being the most qualified person in Gotham to deal with supernatural issues. Why Dick's randomly started trying to help he has no fucking clue.

Summary
Various random Red Hood things that slough from my head to my hands into the world.
Usually these are prompted by my Lil Bro asking shit like "What if Red Hood met an alternate version of himself?" or "Wait so Father Todd died and came back too??"
All of these can be read as standalones, unless they're part of a second series (see the mini series, "Hood('s) Kids," for example).

Summary
On the fourth day, it becomes clear that Joe is organizing something—more muscle than usual, a few more Black Mask affiliates than there should be. The few glimpses of Joe that Dick gets, he’s on his phone, speaking rapidly and gesturing emphatically.
On the fifth day, everything is quiet. No one comes, no one goes.
On the sixth day, Tim calls Dick: they’re not sure where Jason is. And yeah, maybe that’s just normal, and they’re not panicking yet. But they’re not sure where he is. And they’re about to start looking.
And on the seventh day, Bruce shows up at his door with Jason standing next to him, pale and hacking out a cough, putting too much weight on Bruce’s shoulder, and says: “I need to ask you a favor.”
OR
Dick is supposed to be on a boring stakeout assignment. Jason complicates that.
OR
“I’LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.” “IT’S ROTTEN WORK.” “NOT TO ME. NOT IF IT’S YOU.”
