Summary
The last thing Tim remembers was falling. He remembers the sound of his beating heart and the whipping wind, the lights blurring past and remembering the grappling hook in his belt. But most of all he remembers the overwhelming calm that settled in his mind and numbed his insides, the foreign feeling of peace seeping into his bones. He completed his mission. For Bruce. He shouldn't have survived a fall from that height, but judging from the unfamiliar location he's woken up to and the bandages currently covering his skin he must've had a little help. Tim is so not looking forward to another lecture.
Or
What if Dick wasn't there to catch Tim from falling but Jason was.

If a past action, mistake, etc. comes home to roost, it causes problems at a later date, especially when this is expected or seems deserved.
OR
Jason's missing memories and long avoided Heat drive him out of his skull and into the abandoned Wayne Manor.

Summary
Batman is dead. The Batcave is trashed. Gotham's protectors have all disappeared overnight. A dark gloom hangs over the city. There are eyes everyone can feel and no one can find.
Stephanie Brown's grand return to Gotham is met with an eerie silence and a disturbing lack of people telling her to go home. All she finds is a murderous brat dressed as Robin and an annoyingly theatrical crime boss that had her old job.
There's a Batman-shaped hole in Gotham, with only one gal left with the measurements to fill it. Who? That'd be a Spoiler.

Summary
"When Bruce Wayne dies, does he take Batman with him?"
Gotham is upended in the worst crime spike in the history of the city. It's vigilantes are scrambling for a way to mend it, leaving a broken Batfamily to answer the question: Whose gonna be Batman, if anyone? Dick doesn't think anyone should take over the mantle, but his brothers don't necessarily agree. Each provide a different solution, some bloodier than others, but the cowl has to go somewhere; someone has to decide.
HeyoOOO first Ao3 fic. Anyway:
This is a rewrite for the Battle for the Cowl storyline, because I was not jazzed with the characterizations. I sincerely hope it is enjoyable, and accomplishes what I feel the original run did not. I did like some aspects of it, so those will be present, but for the most part I wasn't feelin' it.

Summary
Tim has problems. Not huge ones, in his opinion. He's doing fine. Or at least he was, until a whole lot of bad things happened in very quick succession, and suddenly his normal-sized problems got rather a lot larger.
Jason comes back to Gotham a little later, and suddenly he's the first to properly recognise these issues. Naturally he becomes Tim's go-to when everything comes repeatedly crashing down. At first, at least. Because he's not the only one around to help pick up the pieces.
A/N: i know this is anon but I DON’T ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THIS. I DO NOT. I have grown and changed as a person I am more educated on the DC lore now. I deeply regret this.

Summary
Jason had to give it to him, it was a pretty good imitation, someone who didn’t know Dick or Bruce would be fooled. He clearly had lifts in his boots to make up the height difference and there was extra padding in the suit to hide his gymnasts build and essentially erase what made Dick, Dick. He knew that given enough time, Dick would make sure the extra padding wasn’t needed and would do the work to change his build to fit the suit and not the other way around. And Jason, Jason hated him for it. Hated that he was willing to give up an integral part of himself, the part of himself he’d clung to even after losing his parents, making sure he never lost the skills he’d been born into and the physique it took to do what he did.

Summary
“Are you going to the game this weekend?”
Jason blinks at the unexpected question. "Uh... no?"
Lee nods sharpy as if they were expecting this. “Cool. Look—” they sigh through their nose, “you can say no, obviously, but me and a couple of friends are throwing a small party this weekend. Want to come?”
Jason doesn't say no. And the only thing between then and now is a guest lecture in his criminology class.
Should be interesting.

Summary
Jason was born with holes in his hands.
Holes in his hands so that whatever he holds onto the tightest, he drops.
When other people had a cup, Jason had a sieve, and every good thing was water; the more he tried to catch the more he lost.
