Summary
Bruce, predictably, is saying nothing. It’s a very productive nothing, that is saying quite a lot, quite loudly.
“Go make that face somewhere else,” Dick tells him. “It’s not helpful.”
“I’m not making a face,” Bruce says, lying baldly.
“You are making a face,” Jason tells Bruce.
“It’s not my fault there’s a ghost,” Dick says, arms crossed over his chest like he wants to pout but knows he’s too old for it.
“I know,” Bruce tells Dick.
“So stop making a face at me about the ghost!”
“I’m right here,” the ghost says.Bookmarked by Thingsareswinging

Summary
Batman ghosts up to the teenaged cluster, approaching from behind Chaps and his dance partner. Now that he’s not above them, something pings in his rolodex of faces- Wallace West in gym clothes, Roy Harper in the jean shorts. Queen, his email will start, followed shortly by In making my rounds though Gotham I happened upon your ward in an inebriated state and encouraging other underaged persons to break the law. I am inquiring as to if this is something you were aware of, have taught him was acceptable, or have given your approval for, and if not-
Batman clears his throat, and the gyrators turn as one towards him. Shaded by the improbable brim of his partner’s hat, Dick Grayson looks up at him.

Summary
Jason stares down at his script, feeling nothing.
“All I’m asking,” says TRAGEDY, “is for you to be yourself, Jason. Jason Todd has one job, and that’s playing Jason Todd.”
“Lucky for me, I’m a man of a thousand faces,” he grits out.
“And there’s nothing any of them can do to save him. Any story about you surviving is inevitably a story about Jason Todd’s death.”

Summary
"Mom overdosed again two weeks ago," Jason said. He was clearly trying to keep his voice flat and emotionless, but resentment spilled through like water in an oversaturated sponge. "So we're out of Narcan." They hadn't had Narcan, when Willis had… left. "The landlord's turned off the utilities and he's kicking us out in five days if we don't catch up on the last three months of rent."
"Okay," Willis said. He knew how he was supposed to follow that up. Thank you for telling me. I'm here now, I'll take care of everything. I'm sorry. Instead, what came out of his mouth was, "What happened to your face?"
OR: Knowing it wasn't enough had never stopped Willis Todd from trying.

So…
This is probably the worst first conversation I’ve ever had and I met my dad after I stole his tyres.
Can we talk about literally anything else?
Please.Tim + Jason meet early over Fanfiction.net. This fixes nothing.

Summary
Jason is fourteen and stewing over an irrelevant disagreement with some long-forgotten context when Batman says, "I'm not your father, Jason. I don't need teenage rebellion."
So maybe that's why it all happens the way it does.

Summary
Khalid Nassour's work as an orderly in Arkham Asylum is the stuff of nightmares. The pay's bad, his coworkers are corrupt, and the patients are as bad as can be.
But nothing is quite as bad as the fact that the Joker's keeping the second Robin captive in the basement, and Khalid's found himself in the terrible position of being expected to keep that secret.
With both of their lives on the line, Khalid enacts a daring—and stupid—plan: smuggle the second Robin out of Arkham, nurse him back to health, and hopefully don't get killed by the Joker.
Easier said than done.
---
An Arkham-verse AU featuring Khalid Nassour—Doctor Fate in the comics—intervening in the captivity of Jason Todd.
