Summary
Dolly is the very nice old woman who lives three blocks down from Jason’s third-favorite safe house. It’s not out of the norm for her to ask him to put this or that knick-knack on this or that shelf, but it is out of the norm for him to open the closet door and nearly be swallowed by yarn.
“Oh, dear,” Dolly says. “I forgot that was the yarn closet.”
“A yarn closet,” Jason repeats disbelievingly. He places the knick-knack on top of the shelf. There is an endless rainbow of yarn pooled around his feet. “What do you even do with all this?”
Dolly says, “Hats, scarves. Hot pads if I’m bored. Blankets if there’s a baby. Honestly, you can crochet all kinds of things.”
“Crocheting,” Jason says. And this is where he makes his fatal mistake: “Is that kind of like knitting?”
Five minutes later, Jason finds himself seated on the couch, a bundle of yarn in one hand and some kind of hook in the other.
***
Jason Todd learns how to crochet. It turns out that having healthy emotional outlets improves your mental health and your relationships with others--like, say, a certain set of Bats.

Summary
Jason Todd was loved best dead.
Dead he was a saint. A martyr. Nothing was more sacred in the Church of Batman than martyrdom.
-
No one ever said that coming back from the dead was easy, not for the one who died and not for the people they left behind.

Summary
“You got an appointment, kid?”
Ted Kord has weird taste. In Ted’s desk chair sits Booster Gold, in all his gleaming, costumed glory. He’s reclining as far back as the chair will allow, and has got both feet kicked up on a stack of boxes. He tilts his head, a teasing smile on his lips. “Hey, which one of the Robins are you?”
“Hey, Booster,” Tim says, ignoring the bait. He genuinely thinks that Booster’s said some variation of that joke every single time Tim’s interacted with him. “Is Ted here?”

Summary
“You got a verse for that, too?”
Once again, Dennis pauses to think, willing his futile diploma into good use. He tries to stay focused as he meets Robby’s patient gaze, but the sight leaves his heart kicking erratically against his ribs.
“‘Come now, and let us reason together. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; if they’re red like crimson, they shall become like wool.’”
“Jeez, Whitaker,” Robby huffs, elated. “You got the whole book memorized?”
“Something like that.”
Robby and Whitaker keep running into each other at the hospital's chapel.
