Summary
In the early hours of the morning, before Oliver has a chance to start his breakfast, Bruce Wayne pays a visit to the Queen manor. He does not come to chat idly with a childhood friend, instead with a deal.
And a small child, but that was neither here nor there.

Summary
A person only truly dies, when their name is spoken for the last time. When no one can recognise the face in old photos and the writing on the back is too faded to make out because some genius went and wrote it in pencil.
When the last of their personal effects are bought from the charity shop or disposed of.
Only when our love and memory are completely forgotten, will we ever die.
Not one single book left Jason's room.

Summary
"The groundskeeper found someone, a kid- well, frankly beat to all hell if you’ll pardon my language, in the cemetery, and in our investigation, we found he originated from… uh. Something broke out of the grave, sir, and the hospital has just confirmed the ID of Jason Todd from our John Doe.”
OR

Summary
“This is a mess.” Hades huffed.
“I think the demon Trigon is going to punch that angel.” Nico mused, struggling to hide the grin growing on his face “If they damage the throne room, I believe Persephone might knock them both down herself.”
It wasn’t an ill-made prediction, Persephone was stood at the bottom of the steps glaring at the crowd with her hands on her hips. Nico winced in momentary sympathy for the rabble; he’d been on the end of her wrath before.
“Hm,” Hades hummed in agreement “Have you been watching the soul?”
Nico followed his father’s line of sight to where a half-transparent man in a long light brown trench coat sat on the floor, cross-legged, looking far too pleased with himself. He was turning his head back and forth between the two loudest arguers of the crowd, stifling laughter behind his fist.

Summary
Robin wasn't moving. He had fallen from above, stumbling over the edge of a roof, and hadn't so much as twitched since.
Jason could see the bright yellow clearly from where was hiding in an old abandoned building; his current home. He could hear a group of people shouting and thudding footsteps growing closer and closer, meaning he only had seconds to make a decision.
Walk away and mind his own business, or drag Robin to safety.
It was hardly a difficult choice.

Summary
Jason could have taken the moment to run, from the look in his eye that was what Dick was expecting from him, yet remained still and watched amusedly as Dick fought against the tides to stumble over.
He was a hair away, Lego set slowly slipping out of his mittens- fucking mittens, of course he was wearing mittens, oh god they had polka dots too- and the puff of frosty breath he was hyperventilating out tickled against Jason’s skin.
Dick moved in a trance, eyes checking over every pore on his face, before he laughed- not from joy though, closer to the bark of laughter that comes with shock.
“Jay.” He breathed out, face unfearingly and openly fond “I- we thought… Shit.”
AKA

Summary
‘With all their talks about how to behave, Bruce had the upmost faith in Dick to talk to the other Gala-attenders with respect under his supervision. When Dick grew bored and wandered off, entirely unnoticed by a Bruce deep in conversation, he’d be lying if he pretended that faith didn’t waver’
Or
Bruce and Dick throughout the years as they slowly learn how to be a family.

Summary
'Bruce Wayne wakes up in the past, five months after Jason Todd died, and spends most days sat beside the grave because he never found out exactly when Jason had come back and he wanted to be there to save him when he did.
From an outside perspective, everyone is extremely concerned.'
Was a short one-shot based off a Tumblr prompt I posted (Username: Remarcely), chapter two has been added
