    Summary

    The Bat family is left reeling after Jason succeeds in taking his own life. Bruce struggles through grief as he grapples with more questions than answers. Then, over a year later, Jason is found miraculously alive inside his tomb. But Jason’s mysterious resurrection isn't the simple blessing it appears to be. For Jason, nothing has changed since the day he died for a second time, and he's still hell bent on ending himself for good. Bruce desperately searches for answers as he contends with how to keep his violently suicidal assassin-trained son from taking his own life once more.

    Summary

    Jason's an idiot. A fucking idiot. He thought he could take some goons no problem, and now he's stuck on a warehouse floor with next to no heartbeat and his family crying over his "corpse". How the hell is he gonna fix this?

    Summary

    Jason Todd was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatsoever about that. Bruce Wayne had signed the burial register, and no amount of clawing his way out of a grave with bloody fingers, and mud-covered skin and clothes will change that. No gentle words can undo the hurt that those days brought upon the small family of theirs. Jason Todd died, was buried and is, mind you, still dead.

    -
    Jason Todd is alone on Christmas eve and only truly wishes for one thing, sadly, no one in his family ever really learned how to properly communicate.

    Summary

    He can’t exactly put out a craig’s list ad for a friend, he’d feel too much like the Replacement if he stooped that low, so his next thought had been dating. People went to bookstores and libraries on dates, right? Or, like, to concerts and shit?

    Jason would be able to catch up on a lot of the things he’s missed, if he goes on a couple of dates.

    Plus, he’d hopefully make a friend or two out of the experience, even if he doesn’t find a partner – Gotham’s big enough, if he just sticks to it, he’s gotta find at least a couple of people who aren’t crazy.

    At least, that’s what he’d been thinking when he made his Full Hearts profile

     

    -

    Jason, realizing that it's been a while since he's just chilled with someone not indoctrinated into the bat-lifestyle, wants to find someone cool he can just hang out with, maybe even while catching up on all of the things he'd missed out on these past couple of years. Of course, he's using a dating app (strike one) in Gotham (strike two), without really knowing what he actually wants (strike three, honey).

    There's absolutely no way this will go as planned.

    Summary

    “There’s a saying,” Jason starts, "about New Year's Eve." It's a peace offering—the only one he can give when he can’t bring himself to say you’re wrong and I still call you dad, sometimes, in my head, when you can’t hear me, but he can’t say nothing, either. Not when Bruce is actually trying.

    Bruce swallows. “Oh?”

    “Yeah.” Jason meets his eyes. “They say that the way you meet the new year is the way you'll spend it.”

    And Bruce isn’t Batman for nothing—he knows it means something, that Jason is here: that his choice has led him right to Bruce’s doorstep.

    Or: Jason bonds with his goons, spends the lead-up to the new year straddling the line between new and old, and has an epiphany. It might just be time to reconcile with his family—except he isn’t sure that family is still his, as he is now.

    Bruce, as it turns out, has something to say about that.

    ft. Food (and cookies!) as a metaphor for love, a closer look into the meaning of a memorial, and an old dog that—evidently—can learn new tricks (in that Bruce Wayne learns how to communicate).

    ———

    Or, or: Jason Todd comes home.

    Summary

    “I’m not suicidal,” Jason repeated and held his breath. Dick didn’t laugh this time. He supposed that was an improvement.

    Instead, he watched as Dick placed his hands on the edge of the sink, tightening them to fists, then releasing the tension with a deep breath. He looked back at Jason for the first time since he’d entered the bathroom.

    “Am I supposed to believe that?” Dick asked, a clear edge to his tone. Jason had half a mind to snap back, then he caught the tears building in Dick’s eyes that his brother frantically blinked away. Dick’s hands tightened on the sink again and Jason kept his mouth shut. “Last I checked, nonsuicidal people don’t slit their wrists.”

    Jason swallowed heavily. He wanted so badly to say that Dick was being unfair. He couldn’t. He remembered carrying the same mix of anger and grief when he’d found his mother.

    “I wasn’t trying to kill myself,” he corrected.

    Or alternatively; Dick catches Jason trying to kill himself. He swears it's not like That. Dick doesn't believe him.

    Summary

    Bruce is being haunted by his son, and it catches him off guard. To call it a punch in the face would be an understatement. It feels more like a baseball bat. He's an Atlas, the entire weight of the world dropped onto his shoulders and he deserves to bear it.

    So he knows he deserves pain, knows that karma does collect, but he never thought retribution would come in the form of, in hot pursuit of a criminal, turning a corner and catching a glimpse of Jason standing across the street.

    Takes place in the Frankenstein's monster of a canon I've stitched together. Each plot is rather self-contained, but the fics do flow into one another.

    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

    Jason dreads the moment when Bruce starts talking. He’s probably trying to figure out the angle, sorting through his internal spreadsheets. They’re going to analyse the past year in as few words as possible, or discuss the treatment, to give Jason the illusion that he has any control over it. Or maybe they will get back to the topic of how Bruce simply cannot do what Jason wants him to; the judge, jury, and executioner lecture that Jason never really needed, because deep down he knows that his cries and requests were selfish. Childish, even.

    But the silence stretches. It starts feeling more like peace.

    “I love you,” Bruce says, and that’s not code for anything.

    jason does (not) have a plan. semantics are a problem.

    Summary

    Willis had been a handsome man once. Tall and broad, with a strong jaw and dark brown eyes. He had a hell of an arm on him, could have been star quarterback if he’d tried. A shoe in for Prom King too. Then life had happened and Gotham on top.

    He never meant to be a bad father. But at least he didn't let his son die.

    On what would have been Jason's 23rd birthday, he decides to pay Bruce Wayne a visit.
