death is a fifty-fifty thing, maybe forty-forty by nichromefire

Summary
Cas retracts his hand with a faintly painful squeeze. “Dean. Why, pray tell,” he drags out, wings flicking behind the chair back, “is our son tending bar for lesser demons?”
“Werewolves, too.” And ghosts, revenants, sirens, shifters, silkies, vamps… the occasional djinn… a tsuchinoko, on one particularly memorable occasion… Jackie served that thing a gin and tonic, bless him…
(or: the empty revives an old holiday. jack is a very good bartender. dean debates market philosophy, like some sort of communist.)

Summary
“Don’t you dare tell me I don't know my own son’s face.” Familiar rage seethes at the base of his lungs. “Don’t you dare. Don’t you ever. I knew it against all reason. I knew it when it was impossible for it to be in front of me. I knew it faked and warped and desecrated and delusional and spitting mad. I knew it when it killed me to know it, to believe it to be true—”
“Describe it,” Dick challenges.
“I knew his face three years dead beneath a domino. I knew it as he carved a chunk of flesh from his own scalp and cursed my name…” His fingertips drift to a spot two inches behind his ear. Is that uneven texture the sign of a years-old scar, or just a tangle of hair?
(Or: Jason and Bruce get bodyswapped. It takes two full days for anyone to point it out to them.)

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
NIGHTWING: They’re literally nice! It’s not their fault they got—got intense vibes. But they’re totally not evil versions or whatever. I'm vetoing your protocol.
RED ROBIN: You can’t just veto my protocol, you have to—
DIMAN-1: No he’s right I’m literally nice.
RED ROBIN: (Alarmed) Nightwing you have so supremely fucked up the classification system. Why is there a dimensional anomaly on comms.

anything can be a bird if you're not careful by nichromefire

Summary
(The stage is set sparsely, nebulously urban-gothic and definitely too-large for the number of actors needed for this scene. Two brothers are blocked for a confrontation; one is facing slightly downstage in disinterested acknowledgement of the audience. The other faces only his brother. The Red Hood is in his late teens or early twenties, but must be played by an older actor to avoid granting him any undue sympathy from the audience. It does not matter who plays The Batman; Jason cannot see his brother for the cowl.)
THE BATMAN
You tried to kill him. You tried to kill my baby brother.
THE RED HOOD
I tried to kill your Robin.

Summary
one by one, the robins make peace with jason. it involves exactly as much bloodshed, rooftop karaoke, and alternate universe fuckery as you’d expect.
(it’s a comedy! you know, like titus andronicus!)
