    Summary

    In Caleb’s eyes, it is picturesque. Dark, small, and a staircase leading up the porch that looks insurmountable, it’s still maybe the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.

    He makes way for it immediately, and he hears the crunch of Fjord following after him, panting heavily and following along in the treads Caleb leaves. The snow buffets Caleb’s face, whipping his hair into his eyes and neck like little knives, and he presses harder for the unassuming little building, gritting his teeth against the cold.

    When he reaches the staircase, he turns to look back. He squints through the wind and out behind them through the steady roar of snow. He can no longer hear the shrieks of the hags and sees no sign of them over Fjord’s shoulder, but that does not mean they are not still coming.

    Something is always coming.

    Treating injuries is a lot more time-consuming when you're out two clerics.

    Summary

    (TW for gen mental health issues)

    "What are you doing here?!" Jason snapped, slamming his palm against the nearest tree. A few leaves fluttered down, Dick didn't bother to brush off the one that landed on his head. Just stared at him blankly.
    “Camping?” Dick responded slowly, carefully, as if Jason had lost his mind.
    "Obviously, fuckhead, without your phone? Without telling anybody what you were doing or that you weren't, I don't know, dead?"
    “Jason—“
    "Don't Jason me, I'm pissed. You just up and disappeared on a road trip while everyone's been freaking the fuck out. Did it not occur to you to at least let someone know when you'd be back? I—“
    “—I wasn't." Dick interrupted, tone flat.
    “You— what?"
    "I wasn't coming back.”

    Summary

    Jason’s mind was reeling. “Someone can see us?”

    He’d tried everything he could think of to get Bruce and Alfred’s attention since he became a ghost. But even physically floating through their bodies hadn’t elicited a response.

    She laughed. “Crazy, ain’t it? I don’t know if he’s a meta or what, but all the ghosts are talking about him.”

    If there was someone out there who could see ghosts… then maybe…

    Jason had to find him. “Who is he?”

    “He’s known by many names… Veil Walker… Reaper… Half-Pint.”

    Jason sputtered. “Half-Pint??”

    “That’s the wildest shit. It’s a kid. Like a middle schooler.” Delilah threw out one of her hands. “And he’s out here wandering Gotham every night and chatting up the dead.”

    Jason could only stare at her. Processing. A kid who could see ghosts... What was this? The Sixth Sense: Gotham edition??

    ———

    Jason was murdered by the Joker. Tim can see the dead. They find each other.

    Summary

    “Sorry to bother you,” Tim began, “I was just wondering if you had a bandage I could use to wrap my cut?”

    The butler seemed to notice the excessive amount of blood soaked through his pant leg. “Oh, my. I think it would be better if I could have a look at it. That seems quite serious.”

    “Really, it’s no problem. I just need a bandage,” Tim insisted.

    “Nonsense,” the butler chided. “Come inside and have a seat, I’ll get you something to drink while we take care of that cut.”

    or,

    Tim Drake was sold to a child assassin organization by his parents. When he gets the assignment to kill Bruce Wayne, he relies on the billionaire's tendency to adopt stray children in order to form a plan.

    Unfortunately, every murder attempt fails due to Bruce Wayne’s fatherly persona.

    Summary

    And something exhausted and brittle in Tim just snaps. “Full disclosure: I don’t care what you think.” A thrill of fear shoots down his spine as he spits those words, but he pushes it down and steps forward, glaring. His heartbeat thunders in his ears. “Look, I’m here to make a deal and I am willing to pay. I want - ”

    Between one blink and the next, a searingly hot palm presses against his chest. The demon is suddenly much, much closer. Her stare bores into him as she says, in perfect tandem with his own voice, “ - Jason Todd back from the dead."

    -

    Or, alternatively: Tim makes a deal.
