    Summary

    I wanted a happy ending, he thinks, but it’s so childish that he can’t vocalize it.
    ---

    OR: Jason Todd dies in the snow, and Robin dies in a warehouse, and Red Hood is terrified that he'll never die at all.

    Summary

    After fifteen-year-old Jason Todd claws his way out of his own grave, it’s not the League of Assassins that find him—but Father Michael.

    Jason never becomes a killer.

    Instead, he becomes a priest.

    Five years later, a grieving man unknowingly walks into the confessional of the child he lost.

    “Bless me, Father,” he says. “It’s been five years since I buried my son.”

    Jason recognizes the voice instantly.

    Or,

    A boy dies. A man rises. A prodigal son returns home.

    Summary

    The whole caped community has one thing in common with the villains and that’s that they know the Bats are a cult. Specifics are lost in translation, but the whispers of the underground can’t be ignored.

    They know something happens, when a Robin steps down and another takes his place, his predecessor taking a new moniker and joining the shadows of Batman’s cowl. They know something happens, to turn someone ordinary into the sort of fighting machine that can stand against Superman.

    There are rumors of operations, of surgeries and drugs, but they’re quickly discredited.

    No, if there’s anything they know for certain about the Bats it’s that every last one of those masked faces is human, and all the more terrifying for it.

    --

    Or; being Robin doesn't just mean a costume.
