Summary
Jay closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose to push back the encroaching headache. And possibly the admittedly ironic desire to strangle this kid for his lack of self-care instincts. "Tim. Timmy. Answer me this. Where exactly is the old man? Actually, better question: Why in the ever-living hell is the answer to that anything other than 'right here'?"
Tim gave a huff that sounded more tired than defiant. "Because, like I said, it's a mild case and I don't need to be under observation. I already told Bruce the same thing I told you: I'm fine."
"And he believed that."

Summary
"Can't sleep?" Dick inquired once he was sufficiently uncomfortable, somehow using his weight to make the chair rock back and forth without even seeming to move himself.
It was so weird Jason almost forgot to scowl. Almost. Then he had a better idea and switched to a smile, making sure to add in a bright, cheery voice for the reply. "No, I'm sleeping fine. But I keep having this dream some dumbass comes into my room and asks stupid questions."
Dick just snorted. Then cooed. "Aww, glad to hear my little brother actually dreams about spending time with little old me." He finished by tacking on a razor-sharp grin.

Summary
Just my luck.
"Why did I agree to this?" Jason huffed, scowling as he peered through the foggy glass of the panels embedded in the door. Rain painted the landscape, adding a faint shadow of neon to the grass and darkening the earth in the spots where it lay bare. It was too heavy to be considered a sprinkle, but too light to easily justify begging out as he now found himself very much wishing to do.The temperature, at least, wasn't too low, but the longer Jason lingered at the door and observed the scene outside, the deeper a squirm of twitchiness settled into his muscles and the more his stomach felt just a touch unsettled, like someone had tilted it a few degrees on a seesaw.
But a wet nose was gently pushing and snuffling at his hand, and dammit, he'd made a promise.

Summary
Street rat. Madman. Crime lord. Murderer. Rebel. Prodigal son. Assassin. Acolyte. Hero. Disappointment.
Failure.
Jason Peter Todd-Wayne has been given many names by many people.
Condemned to hover on the edges of family and team like a spirit trapped between realms, the only labels that matter to him now as the Red Hood are Enemy and Ally.
Or so he thought.
But after a combination of dumb luck and Gotham luck bring to the forefront a false narrative that has lived ever since a bright-eyed boy of fifteen died, Jason realizes that maybe there remains a thing or two worth clearing up for the next generation.
They say that dead men tell no tales.
That only works when the living don't lie on their graves.

Summary
Batman is the very personification of fear, of vengeance, of the night itself. He is also the World's Greatest Detective.
Bruce Wayne, however, has a spottier record. A quiet day at home quickly reminds him of this essential fact.
(At least Bruce Wayne is still the one his children like best, though.)

Summary
S##t, Jason didn't need popcorn for this conversation—he needed f#####g tomatoes. Or some nice, soft bricks. Or—
Stay out of it, you idiot. Just stay the f##k out of it, another part of his brain warned him in protest. This was not his problem, and wanting to help the kid out with his training didn't mean Jason was gonna sign on for all the touchy-feely s##t, too. Not like the brat would've wanted it anyways; he was smarter than that, at least.
Let Dick deal with it.
In the aftermath of Tale Spin, Jason, Dick, and Damian begin feeling out their new way forward. The problem is…they're still a stabby assassin kid, an angsty crime lord, and a people-pleaser extraordinaire who's too committed a performer for his own good (or anyone else's).
Truth be told, the road to "Happily ever after" is starting to look like a minefield in disguise.…
=======
This is a direct sequel to the main novel of the series, but should still make sense as a stand-alone fic for those who haven't read that yet.

Summary
Apocalyptic events have a funny way of cutting through all the bull, don't they? Time doesn't heal all wounds; sometimes it just gives an infection the chance it needs to set in.
And time isn't enough to heal the wound he has now. It may never be.
But maybe, one day, time will ease the pain just enough to let him breathe.
This story technically deals with a "What If?" rather than the canonical events and timeline of the original AU, but it still discloses massive actual spoilers from the book Living in The End Zone, by Lulu_Rhythm/Lulu_Rythmea, so please make sure you're caught up with that before proceeding.
Additionally, a note on word count: the actual narrative/story text is about 2,200 words by AO3's count; the remainder of the length is largely centered around a friend of my own who passed away in real life, and sharing things that I learned from her and others—especially regarding grief.

Summary
He is darkness; he is vengeance; he is…out of f*cks to give.
When Jason Todd's brain refuses to give him a break even after a thoroughly successful mission, his two best friends are right there to help.
Too bad the idiot isn't about to make it easy on them.
[Takes place after Jason's debut in Gotham as Red Hood, but before Bruce's "death" fake-out in the Timestream, and Jason's subsequent return to the city.]
Now with 50% more angst! (It's the price of the extra cuddles, Lulu. < 333)

Summary
The rules on their meet-ups were perfectly clear. No one expected the kid to wield a useless blade out in the field, but that was why Damian was given both an operational load-out and a training load-out.
And this was not a training weapon.
"Blade's a little lively there, ain't it?" He tilted his head to the side a little, giving the kid a chance to respond.
"Whatever is the matter, Hood? Afraid of adding a little danger to the game?"
Jason rolled his eyes. "You really gotta get better at this whole tough-talk thing, kid." He snorted then. "Who knows? Maybe I'll even add it to the curriculum if you ask real nice."
"I am quite sure I could get lessons from any common Gotham goon if I wished to speak like you."
" 'S that so?" he inquired lazily. «I'd love to know which of your common Gotham goons speaks like this.»
After a training session with the Baby Bat takes an unexpected turn, Jason finds himself reluctantly pulled back down memory lane to revisit one of the most important cases of his (first) life.

Summary
His little brother scoffed, not even bothering with an eye roll. "Yeah, and what else is new? Nothing's changed, Dick," he gritted, the muscles around his jaw clenched tightly.
But everything had changed. It had changed in the bags under Jason's eyes, a deep and dark and violent purple that marked them like bruises.
It had changed in the way patrol had gone silent, the usual jokes and quips and shouts and teasing replaced with terse updates and coagulated silences.
It had changed in the red Six Feet and Counting t-shirt that lay unclaimed on the back of the couch. Too small to be Jason's or Kori's, too large to be Tim's. It had changed in the subtle tremors running through Jason's fist as he clutched the fabric in shaking fingers.
