Summary
“Humor me,” Red insisted.
“I’ve been humoring you.”
“Then it won’t hurt to answer one more question, will it?”
Dick scrubbed a hand over his face. “Sure,” he said flatly. “Why not. You already have enough blackmail material to throw me straight into Blackgate, what’s one more question?”
The knife tap-tap-tapped against Red’s leg armor. “Do you think Jason would approve?”///
Based on a free prompt in the Birdwatchers Discord server: “AU where Jason works as a mercenary before returning to Gotham. After Dick beat the Joker to death and Bruce resuscitated him, Dick said “fuck it” and decided to hire the mercenary only known as “Red” to off the Joker for good."

Summary
"I am safe," he responded crisply. "I am with Red Hood, who is unconscious but stable. There has been one casualty."
Grayson's indrawn breath was sharp in Damian's ear. It felt like something was squeezing, squeezing, squeezing Damian's chest.
"Casualty? Did Hood—"
"No!" Damian had practically shouted that. He clenched his hands into fists. He needed to get himself under control.
He took another deep breath. "I did."
OR
Damian takes the fall for a murder to save Jason and Bruce’s tentative relationship.

Summary
“Hello, and welcome to Channel 69 News. We’re conducting a short survey with the local vigilantes. Sir, will you please state your hero name for everyone?” The teenager held up her fake microphone.
Nightwing played along, leaning over to talk into it. “Nightwing.”
“Thank you, Nightwing.” She fidgeted awkwardly for a second.
“Was that your question?” he raised an eyebrow playfully.
“No. I mean it was a question but not the question.” She giggled nervously.
His face softened a bit. “Go ahead and ask. I don’t bite.”
“Right. Um. So you know the Wayne family?” She put the fake microphone up to his face.
He looked over the patio wall to the very visible Wayne Tower in the background of the shot before returning eye contact. “I’ve heard the name once or twice.”
She giggled nervously again. “Right right, just had to check, just in case, you know, um...anyway! Do you think Bruce Wayne is handsome?”

Summary
“Look, Dick and I had no idea how to be brothers either," Jason said, "but we made an effort to spend time together. If you and the demon brat aren’t sure where to start, maybe you can decide on some things to kick start these bonding activities.”
“Like what?”
“Hell if I know. Play twister, do an escape room, take over the world, learn to knit, I don’t care. Just pick something you can both agree will keep you busy for an hour or two and it’ll be fine. Now hand me that Molotov, these guys are going down.”

Summary
“The medkit’s been misfiled,” Bruce said, frowning at the cupboard in the medbay, “Do you know who did it?”
“I don’t know,” Tim’s voice said. Great. Outright denial. Because Batman could be fooled that easily. “I saw Jason here last night.” Wait. Wait. Abort—“Does he remember the correct filing system?”
(The first time was an accident. A momentary panic, brought on by coffee deprivation and exhaustion. After that…well.)
