Summary
Jason clamps down on the panic bubbling at the base of his sternum with a practiced hand and exhales all of his air, intending to settle into a meditative breathing pattern that should help him focus more on his other senses, except-
His breath comes out hot and humid, clouding the space around his mouth and nose and reflecting back on his cheeks, causing his skin to prickle uncomfortably. And when he inhales, it doesn’t quite fill his lungs, the air stale and wet.
It’s recycled air.
Jason involuntarily jerks in place, wobbling back a step.
He counts down five minutes in his head before he starts trying to break himself out – clings to the meager hope of rescue for those 300 agonizing, too-still seconds as he does his best to breathe shallowly and calmly to preserve his air supply. In the end, all it does is make him weaker, make the digging take longer.
Jason’s heart thunders in his chest. Dirt dribbles down onto his face.
OR: When an EMP goes off and Jason's powered-down helmet gets stuck on his head, he realizes a fatal flaw in his design - there's no way for him to breathe inside the helmet without power. Dick and Tim have to resort to desperate measures to save his life.

Summary
The words came slower this time, weighted. “Send me to the ones who can make me better. The masters. I want to learn everything I can.”

Jason spent years in the compound and he wants to leave, to find himself. Talia sends him to travel the world and hone his skills. But just like always, eventually, all roads lead back to Gotham. -

Summary
“Step away from the car,” Bruce said, his voice deep and steady.
The kid froze.
He turned slowly, and time seemed to stand still for a moment. The boy looked no older than fourteen, skinny and frail, with wrists that seemed fragile. His wet black curls clung to his forehead. His pale skin, almost ghostly under the streetlight, made the bruises along his jaw more noticeable. But it was his eyes huge, bright blue, wide with fear and defiance that struck Bruce the hardest.
“I wasn’t... I wasn’t stealing! Okay man?!” the boy stammered, his small voice trembling with anger.<

Summary
It is not Batman who visits them at night because of truthfully hideous jack-o’-lanterns staring into every passer-by’s soul from their dorm room. It is the new Robin. Timothy Jackson Drake. Jason, with the pillow in his hands covering his ears in a futile attempt to muffle the conversation, locks eyes with the domino mask just as Neil, completely sober, declares, “I want Brucie Wayne as my sugar daddy.”

Summary
Tim knew Jason was alive, there was no body, thus no proof of death. He knew Jason was alive, because somewhere out there in the wide depth of the multiverse, he knew his spark still shone. He knew this to be true, and he was going to find him. He was going to prove that he wasn't losing his mind (even if it felt like it) that he could do this.
But what will he do now that he found a way to travel to a whole other universe? Will he find his way to Jason? Will he be able to go home again? Will Jason even want to come with him? And why is he starting to lose so much time again?
But more importantly, who are all these people that seem so set on making sure he is ok? He's fine. Completely fine. Even if the voices are getting worse and he feels a bit like he is breaking. He'll be fine, he just needs to get Jason home. Then everyone can be normal again.
Or: the Tim focused sequel about found family and rekindling bonds. A character study into trauma, and a deep dive into Tim and Jason's complicated sibling bond.
Follow up to Stray Little Bat (but works as a stand alone). Going to be super slow to update until SLB is done, but I wanted to get it in chronologically.

Summary
It was pitch black. He was laying on a hard flat surface. It was warm, almost muggy. He couldn’t bend his knees without hitting the roof. His head hurt, a deep throbbing ache separate from the sharp new pain in his nose.
Slowly he reached to his sides. He had a few more inches here than above him, but he hadn’t even fully straightened his elbows before both hands reached more wood. Hesitantly, he pushed himself downwards and the results were the same. Two to three inches above and below his original position he hit another wall of wood.
He was in a box.

Summary
Dick and Bruce's relationship is strained at best after he moves out but the more time Dick spends with Jason the more his own tangled pack bonds call out for something more. When he finds his brother alone on the cusp of his first heat Dick will do anything to keep him safe and comfortable; and somewhere along the way he becomes the glue holding their little pack together.
Years later Jason has burned every bridge, he's lucky to even be allowed near the bats, so he takes any scraps of attention he can and tries to live with the grief of a lost pack. He's been struggling through his heats alone in one of his safe houses and hiding it from Bruce and the others when Dick finally gets tired of giving him space.

Summary
In which Doctor Strange missed a timeline, Gotham learns what true stubbornness looks like, and the multiverse theory is proved a whole lot sooner.
—
“I don’t think I really knew what I was doing.” Peter’s voice is uncharacteristically tired, though unsurprisingly. “Haven’t, not since the dust.”
“The dust?” His mentor, father figure, idol, hero, questions. Tony’s voice is almost flat, but if Peter squints he can convince himself of a mirage of kindness.
A small beat, just for him to breathe the not-air.
“Yeah, the dust. Before I came here, y’know.” He scoffs eventually, bringing his knees up to curl around them. “Never mind. You’re not real.”
When Peter looks to his side, Tony smiles sadly. He hates that.
He convinces his brain it’s Jason. He hates that more, because his body betrays him, relaxing.
“I know, kid.”
He hates that most.

Or, the obligatory Peter Parker in Gotham fic.
OR, the Batfamily is forced to get over a lotta shit.

Cold Cases And Colder Cores by aether_mae

Summary
Everyone in the Batfamily knew that Tim Drake solved cold cases as a hobby. So when an alert popped up for a seemingly dead-end case, he didnt hesitate to call his brother for help. A missing 15 year old, never found, presumed dead. The idea of it chilled anyone to the bone, but especially an ex-Robin.
Ever since his core fractured, Danny just wanted to control his new compulsions and avoid melting into ecto like his clone (sister), but the GIW and two random vigilantes wouldnt leave him alone!
OR:
What if Danny experienced Pit Madness the same way Jason did, and a few bats and birds try to help him? -

Summary
Jason, despite what one might think, did not wake up all at once. Instead, his eyes blinked open, half-lidded, caught in that dreamlike plane of existence between awareness and the unconscious.
or
Jason Todd wakes up in a grave, his confused and terrified brain clinging to any scrap of comfort it can find. This comes in the form of mothers.
or
And I was burnin′ up a fever
I didn't care much, how long I lived
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I′ll crawl home to her

Summary
The grave dirt still clung beneath his fingernails.
He stumbled barefoot across the Gotham cemetery, shirt stiff, skin gray from the earth. His lungs rattled, his ribs ached, and the moon above looked too white, too sharp, like a blade. Every step was agony; every breath, a fight against the coffin that still seemed to close in around him.
He didn’t know his name. Not yet. He didn’t know who he’d been or why the taste of blood felt so familiar on his tongue. All he knew was that he had been dead, and now he wasn’t.
The boy wandered through cracked headstones and rusted iron fences, until the city’s glow swallowed the night. He moved on instinct: alleys, shadows, avoiding headlights, avoiding people. Gotham was a monster, and something inside him whispered that it had already eaten him once.
Or:
Recently revived Jason Todd is found not by Talia al Ghul, but by Jonathan Crane. And, by coincidence, Jonathan decides that it's about time to go face home.
