Summary
Just fucking fuck. Dick didn’t even do anything, so what the hell is wrong with him, spazzing out at nothing, at his first chance at a little fun. He imagines what he must have looked like through Dick's eyes and can vividly picture what he saw: Jason acting so scared and helpless and weak and stupid and—just—fucking —Goddamnit.
Or, Jason isn't sleeping, Dick doesn't know what to do, and Tim just doesn't want to get shot at (again).

Summary
Jay wasn’t sure she heard that right.
She turned around to see who the fuck just ordered plain black coffee with three shots of espresso so late into the afternoon. With a pair of blue eyes and even bluer under eye bags, it took Jay a moment to realize that it was him.
The Replacement.
. . .After abandoning her plans to get her revenge on Bruce, Jay goes on to be the elusive Red Hood, determined to stay away. And yet, when Black Mask places a hit on Batman, Jay finds herself torn between helping or hurting the man who replaced her the moment she was six feet under.
And the first Boy Wonder hell-bent on bringing her home, certainly doesn’t make things easier for her.

Summary
As Jason laid in the wreckage of an explosion of his own making with a bleeding neck —he never expected the batarang slicing his throat wide open— and broken body, remembering how Bruce chose the Joker over him, he just wanted to laugh at himself.
Because how could he ever expect anything different?
Nobody cared about Jason Todd. He was just a Crime Alley fuck up. He wasn’t worth a damn. He wasn’t worth anything. He should’ve known better. He did know better. He just… wished that someone would pick him for once.
.
When Bruce cut Jason’s throat with a batarang to stop him from killing the Joker, it damaged his vocal chords so badly that he could no longer talk. But Jason didn’t care anymore. He’s finally realized that no one wants to listen to what a dead man has to say.

Summary
Jason’s first mistake was hacking the Bats’ secret comm channel.
Although could it really be called hacking when they’d never bothered to change their frequency since his Robin days? All he’d had to do was log on, and boom – instant access to the best ways to avoid meddlesome Bats while he got shit done. And since his end was carefully muted, they wouldn’t even know anyone was listening.
His second mistake was thinking he could listen without getting sucked back into their drama.
Jason came back to Gotham with two intentions: one – protect Crime Alley and do it right this time. And two – avoid the Bats. Neither of these were proving as simple as he’d hoped.

Summary
Jason recoils. He can’t possibly mean...“Are you firing me?"
“You’ve proven twice over this week that you can’t handle Robin.”
“You can’t fire me! Robin is mine. Robin is me!”
“Robin is Batman’s partner,” the bastard says with about as much expression as a stone wall and twice as cold. He turns away, “and as of today, Batman has no partner.”
(Or: Jason is fired after the Garzonas affair and never finds his birth certificate.)

Summary
The boy had two options, two roads stretching out before him: stay with Mother, and become the greatest assassin ever known to man, or go to Father, and become a masked vigilante fighting for justice in a city drenched in darkness. Damian looked at these two roads, these two lives he could lead, and decided on a third path for himself instead. He chose his own road.
Jason never let himself think about the kid he had left behind at the desert compound all those years ago. When Talia never got in touch with him after his return to Gotham, Jason had assumed he had just been forgotten like he had been in Gotham. But then that kid, his little brother, showed up one night and Jason couldn’t just continue to push him to the back of his mind. Not anymore.
