    Summary

    Jason Todd awoke one morning from troubled dreams and found himself transformed into a monstrous—

    No. God, he wished.

    Metamorphosis, he could have handled. An easy fix. Hell, magic insect transformation was practically an everyday occurrence, in Gotham.

    Just… not in this Gotham.

    ***

    Jason Todd awakes one morning in a Gotham that “doesn’t like chaos”, and finds his feet.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    The guy gave her a lopsided smile, “I think everyone around this area has, ah, been hit by Cluemaster. Nice to know someone’s looking out for us. A smart one, too.”

    “It comes with the job. You know how it is.” She gestured to her bloody outfit.

    “That’s the Cluemaster’s arch nemesis for ya!” And he chuckled as he walked off, presumably to get her a plate of waffles.

    She grimaced.
