    Summary

    “Hey,” says the kid. He’s painted in green, yellow, red, and he’s wiggling back and forth in his seat.

    “Hey,” Jason says without turning around. “I made french toast. You like french toast?”

    The half-smile turns into a wide grin. “Fuckin’ duh.”

    Because of course he does. Because Jason has always liked french toast.

    or, Jason Todd’s unofficial guide on how to get un-doomed by the narrative.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "“God, Bruce, it’s like he isn’t even me.” To his horror, Jason can feel tears prickle behind his eyes. “It’s - it’s like Robin is this other person, and I can never, ever be him again, no matter how hard I try.”

    “Jason - “

    “He’s not real, B! And the parts of him that were? They’re fucking me! And - and I don’t - I don’t know how to get you to see that.”"

    Such a bittersweet catharsis in this one. Love this flavor of Jason angst.

    Such good Cass characterization. I love the plot premise too, it's the first time I've seen a take like this <3

    Such a cool story to read! It inverts so many of todays classic fan tropes, but decades before fandom started becoming more mainstream. The exploration and discovery of how to communicate, how to share emotions, is beautiful.

    Summary

    "What do you want him to do?" Drake snapped. "Admit that he's a little bit worried about you because you fucking died?"

    Damian was on his feet before he knew what happened. He couldn't breathe for the hate burning in his chest. How dare Drake talk about it. How dare he preach as though he agreed. "I'm surprised you pretend to give a fuck, Drake," he hissed, derision and bitterness dripping from the words. "I...I would have thought you were happy I was gone!"

     




    He didn't think about the words until after they left his mouth, after the Cave was deadly silent and the sentence echoed through the room, hung in the air like smoke. Drake's chest was heaving, but he didn't say a word, and his eyes were so dark that Damian actually took a step back in irrational fear. Abruptly, Drake shoved his chair back with a screech, and left without a word, his footsteps resounding through the cave. Damian watched him go, numb.
    _____________
    Alternatively, Damian has misjudged Drake, and guilt isn't something he's used to dealing with.
