    Summary

    Dolly is the very nice old woman who lives three blocks down from Jason’s third-favorite safe house. It’s not out of the norm for her to ask him to put this or that knick-knack on this or that shelf, but it is out of the norm for him to open the closet door and nearly be swallowed by yarn.

    “Oh, dear,” Dolly says. “I forgot that was the yarn closet.”

    “A yarn closet,” Jason repeats disbelievingly. He places the knick-knack on top of the shelf. There is an endless rainbow of yarn pooled around his feet. “What do you even do with all this?”

    Dolly says, “Hats, scarves. Hot pads if I’m bored. Blankets if there’s a baby. Honestly, you can crochet all kinds of things.”

    “Crocheting,” Jason says. And this is where he makes his fatal mistake: “Is that kind of like knitting?”

    Five minutes later, Jason finds himself seated on the couch, a bundle of yarn in one hand and some kind of hook in the other.

    ***

    Jason Todd learns how to crochet. It turns out that having healthy emotional outlets improves your mental health and your relationships with others--like, say, a certain set of Bats.

    Summary

    In a world where Jason Todd survives Ethiopia, Tim Drake still finds a way to help Batman by surveilling Gotham rogues and anonymously informing to the Bats and Oracle. It's a delicate balance, to help the world's greatest detective without drawing too much of his attention, but Tim can't risk Batman discovering his parents' very illegal collection of ancient artifacts.

    At least, until his parents begin behaving strangely and Tim's investigation finds him at the center of a plot that threatens the entire city. The only way to save Gotham is for Tim to reach Batman, but doing so means losing everything he knows.

     

    (rewrote the summary to make it simpler and fixed some typos, enjoy!)

    Summary

    Tim figured that since he was banned from basically everything Robin due to the new menace known as Red Hood, that heading to Titan's Tower and indulging some old photography habits would at least keep him entertained. He certainly wasn't expecting someone to break into Titan's Tower. He most definitely wasn't expecting that someone to be Red Hood and maybe the most surprising of all... he was not expecting Red Hood to apparently know him. Well... to know the night time bird photography Alvin Draper anyway but all things considered, he was willing to roll with it.

    Summary

    Turk knows that reality is mostly perception, and the fact is he doesn't know how to separate Danny Williams from Turk Malloy anymore. The lines are blurred and the guise is deeper than the reality. He's not one or the other, but he's a little of both.

    “What’s in there, anyway?” Charles asked, rolling down the window. “Looks heavy.”

    “A few million dollars' worth of electroshock weapons,” the kid said, dead-serious. After a moment, a grin stretched across his face. “Nah, I’m just fucking with you. It’s old clothes, mostly.”

    Summary

    A Bat-A-Rang flies through the air, aimed between his eyes. Tim catches it and shoves it in his pocket. “Not a very warm welcome Demon Braaaa…at?”

    Tim jerks to a stop at the bedroom door, mouth open.

    “Drake!” Damian hisses. “Get out.”

    But Tim is too busy staring at his eyes to be focusing on his words. “Are you crying?”

    Or, Damian's been assigned math homework. Tim ends up involved.

    Summary

    There was never one particular moment that Damian registered that he was losing consciousness.

    Everything simply flashed from one thing to the next, even though some part of him understood that time had been passing in between. He had been sitting upright, rolling his eyes at something someone had said, then he was on the ground being pinned by some unknowable weight. All at once the weight was gone again, replaced instead by something not only lighter, but much warmer too.

    A blanket?

    No, a jacket.

    Batman is scary. That's a fact. One everyone knows. The Justice League knows it, the internet knows it, the world knows it.

    It's a fundamental truth; the sky is blue, grass is green, Batman's scary.

    So why the hell do kids like him so much.

    Summary

    In a world of soulmates, Bruce Wayne is born without any marks on his body. He gets used to the idea of being alone.

    Until his soul marks start showing up.

    How the hell does he have so many kids?!

    ---

    Bruce curses, running a hand back through his hair. This isn’t… No. He isn’t supposed to have a soulmate. He is the Dark Knight, for crying out loud.

    “Don’t tell him,” Bruce orders.

    Alfred blinks. “Why not? You’ve found one of your soulmates. This is cause for celebration-”

    “The Wayne family is a family of choice. He shouldn’t feel like he has to stay just because we’re…" Bruce stumbles. "And besides. He’s going to expect me to be some…some overly-doting-parent type and I can’t do that. There’s so much…so much about being someone’s soulmate. You’re supposed to be this…this…perfect person. You’re supposed to complete someone else. How the hell am I supposed to do that?”

    Summary

    The King of Ruritania attends a state funeral in a city with which he's more familiar than he ought to be, and can't help reflecting on the life he leads now and the life he's left behind.

    (This can be read as an AU which diverges from canon either just before the end of The Prisoner of Zenda or just before the end of Rupert of Hentzau. Either way, that can be assumed to have happened several years before this story.)

    Summary

    Chapter One: In the aftermath of Nocturn's attack, Jason has a lot to learn about being a halfa.

    The first step is learning how to transform, which proves to be harder than either Jason or Danny expected.

    (AKA Baby Halfa's first transformation)

    Chapter Two: Just days after Nocturn's defeat, Tim's having trouble sleeping. (And really, who's surprised?) Still, he's not expecting to run into Danny on a late night (early morning?) hot cocoa run. Tim's pretty sure he's missing something from the following conversation, but hey, maybe he'll be able to sleep after it.

    (This will have little interludes with Jason and learning ghost powers, with each chapter being it's own snippet. Set in the We're Longing For Daylight universe)
