Summary
Ever since Jason left New York after his brief stint impersonating Nightwing, Dick hasn't wanted very much to do with him. He's not sure exactly where they stand, what with the note Jason sent afterward, but he knows he has more important things to do right now than figure it out. At least until one night in Gotham chasing Red Hood with Batman (and a surprise Robin) forces his hand. Because just when it seems like they've cornered him in a warehouse by the docks, they end up chasing him still further through a strange, magical green fire—and right into a series of living memories of the past.
But the Jason that Dick finds in the memory space is different than the Jason that he's grown used to in the real world, and the longer they spend together there, the more invested Dick becomes in finding a way to bring this one back out with them when they leave.
No matter how many times Jason tells him that's not how it works.

Or: for the low, low price of getting cursed to haunt all the worst memories of his past, Jason gets his big brother back.
