    Summary

    Dick is trying his best to be patient with Damian, but the kid keeps insulting Dick's long-dead little brother. Dick just can't understand why Damian is so callous towards poor Jason's memory, especially since his youngest brother had never even met the second Robin before he died.

    Turns out Damian might not have met Jason before he died, but after was a different story.

    Summary

    He was lying still on the metal table, his arms rested delicately along his sides like folded paper. Like someone had tried to make it look peaceful—make him look presentable. But Dick knew better. He knew that silence. That stillness. He’d seen too many bodies, too many ends.

    But not this one. Not his.

    “No,” Dick breathed. The word escaped like it had been punched from his gut. His head tilted to the side, slow and trembling, like his neck couldn’t hold the weight of what he was seeing.

    “No…”

    It came again, softer. Smaller. Like maybe if he whispered it, the universe would agree.

    But it didn’t.

    “No. No…” His voice cracked on the second one. Shook. His chest hitched as he took a shaky step forward. “No. No—no—”

    A scrapped chapter on what could’ve happened if Bruce had called and told Dick Jason died.

    Summary

    “Only you know.”

    “Only me?” Dick asks skeptically.

    Jason pauses, and then makes a so-so gesture with his hands. Dick raises his eyebrows, silenting encouraging the boy to elaborate. “Out of Gotham vigilantes, you’re the only one — wait, Damian knows — okay, you’re the second Gotham vigilante to know.”

    “Who,” Dick is almost scared to ask, but he does it anyway. “Who else knows?”

    Jason flexes his hand open and closed, and stares at Dick. “Uh, let’s see. Me, you, Damian. Talia, Ra’s,” he lists it off with his fingers like it’s nothing. “Mara, Essence and,” he drags out the last syllable. “Ducra.”

    Summary

    Tim's dad is dead, killed by a boomerang to the chest, and Tim is an orphan now. He knows Bruce would adopt him if needed but he couldn't possibly impose himself on the Wayne's more than he already has. It's okay though, because he has a plan for this, he just needs someone to play the role of his estranged "Uncle Eddie".

    Except... the guy he hires is weirdly concerned about his well being and Tim can't figure out why.

     

    Meanwhile, Jason Todd is forced to reevaluate his plans for his debut as Red Hood, because, as it turns out, his replacement is a suicidal idiot who can't be trusted to stay out of trouble.

     

    OR

     

    Tim Drake fails to recognize Jason Todd, back from the dead, and hires him to be his Uncle Eddie to avoid getting adopted by Batman. Somehow this ruins everyone's plans.

    Summary

    Jason Todd returns to Gotham. He is not okay, and he is only too aware of it. He wants revenge. On the clown who killed him. On the family who was not there to save him. It will be - it should be - only the guilty who should suffer. Not the new little Bird. Not Gotham. Only the pair who should have been there.

    But this is Gotham. Mind Games have a way of going horribly wrong. Jason might well find himself regretting just how effective his revenge has turned out to be.
