Summary
The dead greet the living.
We are those who wait at the end of all existence. We are those whose outstretched palm grasps infinity. We are the unchanging conclusion. We are your reflection and your foil.
You are the infant, new from the cradle. You are they who sit upon our palm. You are the delicate assembly of experience and change. You are the unfolding entropy.
We greet you on the knife’s-edge of the Balance that you have broken. We seek that which you have taken and sundered. We reach, now, from within that palm, to correct your blind fumbling.
Summon your counsel. Await our arrival.The comms were silent. The snowing sensation had resolved within Tim’s mind but it was still there, a banked presence that he could reach for, and when he did, he heard the message again. His breathing came faster and harder.
Jason was the first to react.
“What the fuck?”***
Or,
The Justice League has missed something catastrophic and tragic in equal measure.
Good thing this is just the sort of mystery Red Robin likes to sink his claws into.

Summary
This should be a dream. This is what Tim thinks about, in the back of his mind, during stakeouts that drag on too long. Something saccharine and domestic. Carding his hands through Jason’s hair, teasing him about the way his roots are growing in. Kissing Jason slow and soft, giggling as the cat they adopted starts kneading Tim's leg.
Yeah, that's right - he's down so abysmally, terribly bad for a straight guy that he's already decided what they would name the hypothetical cat they hypothetically adopt in their hypothetical house.
It should be a dream. Jason, in his townhouse, cooking him dinner. Instead, his eyes dart to the window as he calculates how fast he’d have to move to get away cleanly.

Summary
Six months ago, Jason Todd and Tim Drake disappeared without a trace. Their family has been worried sick about them, but to their relief, the two middle children return abruptly and...unharmed?
It is quickly discovered that the two are not the same boys anymore. They're closer (since when did they openly just hug each other like that), much better
more viciousat fighting (concerningly so), and...wait...why do they have dinosaurs? Why did Tim just kill Jason!? What is going on, and what are the consequences of their mysterious journey? Will Gotham ever be the same?Or:
Jason and Tim get transported to the start of the ARK: Survival Evolved and had to battle through each world to get back home. The video game vibes don't go away, and they make it literally everyone's problem. They don't need "help" or "therapy", but they're pretty sure the rest of the family does. All that Jason and Tim are game for is reigning their unique brand of chaos and fun onto Gotham's unsuspecting populations, consequences be damned. It's not their fault that Bruce is crying and Dick looks about one wrong move away from growing gray hairs. Get with the program!

Summary
“So what’re you doing here, Conner?”
Kon frowned. “What do you mean?”
Tim gave another shrug. “I mean, I’m only here ‘cause my dad can’t make it and he asked me to make an appearance for him.” He leaned across the table toward Kon, curious. “So what about you? I know most of the reporters that like to frequent these events, and I’ve never seen you around here before.”
“Aw, well,” Kon reached up to scratch at his cheek, trying to figure out the best way to word Superman is away on a space mission and is worried about his wife's tendency to get into astonishing amounts of trouble when left to her own devices, especially in Gotham, and also is probably, like, trying to do some kinda bonding thing? So he let me borrow his “disguise”, his literal name, and his job so I could tag along with her. “I’m filling in for my older brother?”
-
When yet another Gotham gala goes horribly wrong, it's left up to Kon and his new civilian friend Tim Drake to solve a murder, clear a name, and catch a culprit before it's too late.
(All without giving away their secret identities, of course.)
It's a good thing the infamous Detective Tim Drake and his faithful partner, Kon Watson, are on the case.

Summary

But when a mission goes sideways and Tim steps in with chilling precision, Jason finds himself following commands he didn’t know he craved. Back at the safehouse, a teasing remark turns into something far more dangerous when Tim pins him to the wall and whispers, “You have no idea.”

Summary
“You will do more than just survive, Timothy Drake.” Z stated, “I will make you something, something better.”
“I don’t need to survive” Tim argued hollowly, “I need to find him and I don’t know how.”
“Then we will help,” Z stared at him, dark skin gleaming under the torch-light, “and we will do whatever it takes to do so. That is our order.”
“You’re ours,” Pru agreed, “at least, for now.”
Owens grinned, “Welcome to the League of Assassins, Tim.”

Death is something no one can escape, especially Tim, who was born with the ability to see the dead. Now, he’s on a mission to find his foster father, Bruce Wayne, who’s assumed dead. But death never strays far and Ra’s Al Ghul is nipping at his heels.

“Quiet, kid,” Deathstroke said with a hint of a growl. “I’m busy.”
Dick winked at him. He couldn’t see Slade twitch under the mask, but he knew he did. Benefits of excessive sex. You learned to read a man. Unfortunately, those benefits were not saving them from being locked in a fucking basement.Of course, then it turns out you never really know a person, doesn't it? Trapped in a basement with Deathstroke and Red Robin, Dick is starting to realize he'd rather the assholes who put them there stuck around for a little torture over this.

Summary
“I’m going to kick your ass,” Jason threatens. “Creeper.”
This kind of threat usually works. Jason’s gotten very good at it over the years. At the very least, it makes the target reconsider their choices.
The Replacement does not look like he’s reconsidering anything. In fact, he looks a little pitying. “Right now, you have the constitution of a wet tissue. I don’t even think you could stand up without passing out.”
He says this so evenly and plainly that Jason is automatically furious. Just to prove Replacement’s scrawny little ass wrong, he is going to stand up, beat his ass into the ground, and then kill everyone in Crime Alley who has ever wronged him. The list is long. It’ll probably last the whole night.
The fact that he only gets up to his knees before everything goes black is, like. A minor setback.
***
Jason Todd is about to find out why hundred and four degree fevers are, generally, considered detrimental to one's well-being. Tim Drake is about to commit crimes against Top Ramen and humanity. Bruce Wayne is about to fret. What else do you expect?

Summary
Dick Grayson is really tired of being a target. His family is really tired of people going after him, too. He feels bad about stressing them out and tries to hide how much it bothers him to attempt to keep them safe. It doesn't work, because Waynes are a snoopy bunch. So when multiple enemies are coincidentally after him at the same time, Dick finds out just how far his family is willing to go for him.
(As always, canon shmanon, it's a little bit of whatever I want. It's my AU, and these people need hugs.)
