    Summary

    Following all the prompts of Fictober 2024 to create a single story detailing Jason and Slade's relationship.

    “That was good work.”

    A statement like that should really sound more like a compliment. But Slade doesn't say it like that. He sounds confused.

    He maybe might feel a little like prey. Like he's something to be devoured. It makes his whole body feel hot. “If you keep staring at me like that you're going to get me pregnant.”

    Slade smirks as he approaches him. “Would you prefer I try to get you pregnant a different way?”

    Jason does not swoon, because that would be embarrassing. Though his stomach might have just done a flip. That's not something he can control. “Yeah,” he forces out. It's low and quiet. “Okay.”

    ...

    “Huh,” Tim answers. “It’s giving very baby girl,” he mutters, his frown deepening.

    “What? What the fuck does that mean?” Jason asks. “Use proper English, Pretender.”

    “Ohmigawd!” Steph exclaims from her spot next to Tim. “Jason is so baby girl!”

    Red blossoms across Jason’s face. “No, I’m not!”

    Slade smirks and winds his arm across Jason’s shoulders. “Don’t worry, baby girl,” he murmurs, loud enough for the table to hear. “What’s the saying?” He looks towards Stephanie. “I’m here for it?”

    Steph beams at him.

    The Camaro screeches out of the parking lot as you’re running for the motel room.

    There are four dead men inside the motel room, and enough weapons to arm a small militia.

    Four dead men who look like they’ve had their throats torn out.

    It seems appropriate.

    You don’t fucking understand it, but you’ll take it.

    You’ll take it.

    You never discuss it with Parrish, but you notice when he turns his report in that he’s made no mention of Derek Hale or Scott McCall either.

    You like Parrish.

    Summary

    Jason was going to die.

    He was going to die in the dingy corridor of a rundown apartment complex.

    Fitting, something in the back of his mind snarled, this is exactly what you deserve.

    Or: Jason’s having panic attacks, he misses his family and he wants to go home. It's that simple. But Jason's never been good at making things easy for himself.

    His whole body loosened.

    ‘Missed this. Missed here,’ he sighed wetly, ‘I tried to be- I tried- I tried- ’ his voice trailed off into an incoherent mumble and he pushed his head closer to Dick’s hand.

    His words sat in the silence, strained and sad. Jason stifled a yawn-

    ‘My phone is somewhere in the Manor gardens by the way.’

    What? Why?’

    Jason didn’t respond but he watched with weary eyes as pained realization dawned on Bruce’s face. He looked anguished.

    ‘It was you,’ he croaked, ‘you set off the alarms.’

    Jason's cheeks burned and he averted his gaze. Somehow, admitting to it made him feel like a child, pitiful and pleading for attention. He hadn’t even managed to sneak in successfully for fuck’s sake-

    Summary

    Tim never stops taking pictures of Jason.

    He really can't help himself, even when Jason wants to kill him. Actually, Tim thinks that Jason wanting him dead only exacerbates the whole issue, but no one asks about it (because no one knows), so he never tells (and he never will).

    This, at least. Tim always thinks. Let me have this, if nothing else.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "I do not like the way that Drake looks at you," Damian confesses, back as straight as an arrow and hands folded together atop the kitchen counter. "I find that his continued scrutiny of you is deeply unpleasant. Whenever you are in his general vicinity, Drake is assessing you as though you are a meal, from head to toe. He is far too brazen! Akhi, you must allow me to slash those impudent eyes out of his head."

    Um.

    Where to begin with any of that?

    "First of all," Jason starts, pausing to focus on mixing the batter so he can ruminate on what the hell he's going to say, "even if it's rude, staring isn't exactly a crime, Damian."

    "But his staring is not just staring, akhi. Drake leers at you as though you were a delicate maiden flashing a sliver of skin," Damian retorts.

    "Okay, maybe I should have told Talia to get you different books rather than the ones I like," Jason chuckles, and then clears his throat. "The Replacement's probably just staring at me because I tried to kill him once and he's wary of me. It's no big deal. I'd be wary of me, too."

    "That's not it!" Damian exclaims, slamming his hands down onto the kitchen counter. "Akhi, all he does is ogle you. It is– inappropriate!"

    Summary

    Alfred’s love is pressed shirts and warm food. And his love is a gleaming knife, too.

    He would bleed for his boys. He would make others bleed for them.

    And so he does.

    (Or: the Joker must die, and Alfred Pennyworth is not a man who waits on others to do his work.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Batsy won’t like this,” the Joker says, a last resort, eyes glimmering and insane. “You feel like tussling with ol’ Batman, King Alfred?”

    “I don’t answer to the Batman,” Alfred tells him, voice solid as stone. “The Batman answers to me.”

    And he pulls the trigger.
