    Summary

    The first thing that Willis Todd does out of prison is an experience far more humiliating than all the years he’s just spent in Blackgate.

    A small mercy is, he supposes, that it is not Bruce Wayne who actually picks up the phone.

    willis todd does not know how it felt to hold his son’s body as it got cold. bruce wayne did not ever hold jason as an infant, nor at five.

    whatever they say about april and the worth of money.

    “He saved my life, once. He was kind, and brave, and smart. There are some people in this world who will stop at nothing to help. Jason was one of them. Jason… Jason was great.”

    “He did not need to be great. Just alive.”

    Summary

    A family portrait looms. Damian is not in it. Richard’s hair is still above his shoulders, Todd leans into Father’s side, Father’s smile has not yet been brutalized by the cold, grasping arm of war-dead young.

    They look happy.

    (Or: Damian develops genre awareness, does a few surgeries, and tries fix things which might be better off broken.)

    Jason is still holding the ka-bar.

    Damian may have made a mistake.

    Summary

    There was a dead guy in the living room.

    He hadn’t been there when the Heavenly children – Jennifer, Jonathan, Liza, Arthur, Beatrice, Patrick, and Cissy - and their cat Beanpole Alexander III - had gone to bed, but now he was all spread out around the room.

    Beatrice made a squishy face at Jennifer. “I don’t wanna touch the guts, Jenny.”

    Jennifer rolled her eyes and looped her arms around the dead guy’s arm and dug her heels in to pull him off the couch. “Use the salad tongs, Beabie.”

    The little red helmet veers into a series of back alleys, likely to avoid an absurd amount of Gotham traffic. Two small guns appear and fire tiny rubber bullets at the glass of the screen. Cracks appear on the glass; it shatters in a dramatic display to reveal the words: Your Kidnapping Is Running Ahead Of Schedule!

    Summary

    "They're watching me," Jason says, when Daisy Mae has left.

    "Who, the drag queens?" Tim says. His face is an inch from Jason's chest, and when the strobe lights flash their way he can see a drop of sweat moving down Jason's pecs. His mind feels staticky, bouncing from general outrage to a general desire to put his mouth on Jason's skin. He's too horny to be rational about any of this.

    ++

    Tim goes to a gay club and finds himself embroiled in one of Jason's cases. Glitter is involved. Also crises of morality. Also booty shorts.

    In the Cave, Dick is bringing up files on the computer on a string of old cases. Damian has his back turned, so Tim sees the danger before he does. He watches in quiet horror as Dick reaches up and pulls Damian down onto his lap as if Damian’s still ten years old and not someone who has to take three showers a day.

    Damian goes rigid, bent up like a marble statue of a boy, looking as if he would very much like to put a bullet in his own brain. Tim’s not sure he’s even breathing. But Dick is oblivious, pointing at a series of photos on the screen, free arm wrapped around Damian’s waist.

    Tim lasts six seconds as unwilling observer before he knocks a box of Damian’s tools off a nearby shelf. They clatter across the Cave floor with a racket that disturbs the bats overhead, and then Damian is rushing towards him with a murderous expression on his face.

    “You’re welcome,” Tim says quietly, and leaves the Cave.
