Jason is just trying to survive on the streets of Gotham--made slightly more difficult by the fact that some gang has apparently decided to make him their most wanted person. Until he befriends a kid-who-definitely-isn't-Robin, who promises to help him reunite with his dad. And, well, Jason's not in the habit of accepting favors. But maybe it would be worth it, just this once.Featuring ghosts or zombies or hallucinations, misunderstandings (both unintentional and entirely intentional), lots of identity shenanigans, and some discussion of dads.

When an adult Jason Todd is thrown into the past, he must balance raising his childhood self with reinventing his vigilante personae, all without revealing his knowledge of the future...A task made infinitely more difficult when he starts changing things in the past and attracts the attention of a young Batman and Robin.

The war ends. Kronos falls.Percy is tired. He's tired of being the leader, the hero, the general, the prophesied. He's tired of fate. He's tired of the Gods.Good thing the Gods can't reach Gotham.

One week of feverish research. Two days of furious tracking. Thirty minutes of hopeless fighting.It is all coming to this, a deal Tim has no choice but to accept.“I’ll release your family in exchange for all their memories of you,” Klarion the Witch Boy says.“I’ll do it,” Tim says loudly before he can second-guess himself. His fingers tighten around his last birdarang, but he does not throw it. Instead, he stands stock still, forcing himself to keep breathing, keep standing, despite the bone-deep exhaustion weighing his body down.After all, Gotham needs Batman much more than it needs Robin.

In which Jason Todd meets Tim Drake, who is inexplicably Dick Grayson's #1 Fan, and decides the only reasonable course of action is to plot to get the two of them to meet and see what happens. It definitely won't have a major impact on his life or anything.

Kon gets erased from reality, and Tim keeps trying to figure out why there are so many weird gaps in his life.

Tim takes a couple of months off in order to catch up on two and a half years of school all in one go - and graduates high school. He knows he deserves a celebration.He just didn't expect his whole family to show.

Tim is doing great being an independent vigilante, he's fine! He doesn't need help, he's definitely not estranged from the family -- he's just being independent.Good thing he's part of a family of detectives who have their own ways of reaching out.Featuring two powerpoints, one casefile, half a contract, a roomba, and several hugs.

In a family made of up people unused to having such a big family, sometimes you get lost in the noise. And Tim has always been taught to be the child that was seen, not heard.

Bruce is missing - as Bruce Wayne - and somewhere in Metropolis. Tim knows Bruce said to tell Clark Kent in case something like this happens, but why would you go to Clark Kent for help when Lois Lane is right there?

When Talia and Cheshire start a civil war against Ra's, they send Damian and Lian to safety with the one bodyguard they can trust: Jason Todd. Jason and his charges set up house in a small New Zealand town, and try to figure out civilian life together. They find more of a home -- and a family -- than they ever expected. Jason just can't let himself forget that this is temporary.

After his confrontation with Batman leaves Red Hood bleeding out on a warehouse floor, Jason Todd wakes up back in his teenage body and still trapped in his casket.When every death leads back to the same starting point, Jason stumbles through attempt after attempt to get things right. But he's not giving up until he's fixed things.

AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

He wishes he could tell him. He wishes that at this time, he wasn’t still so broken that trying to shake some sense into himself would risk him sabotaging it for himself before he was ready to have it.Tim’s door is shut, but Bruce knows in his heart that Tim isn’t behind it. He never was at this stage of things. He’ll have walked back to Drake Manor to spend the night alone in his parents’ empty manor.Bruce turns his face away from the closed door, his heart aching.

A farmer's market rolls around in beautiful autumnal Smallville. Kon asks Tim to be his pretend boyfriend for the day, in order to stave off some old ladies who, upon finding out that he's gay, have been trying to set him up with their bisexual grandson. And surely the matchmaking grannies are the only reason Kon wants Tim to be his date at the farmer's market. It's too bad, because Tim would really love it if this was a real date, but... it's not like he'd ever say no to Kon, not when Kon asks him with those big ol' Kent family puppy-dog eyes.So here he is. Pining. At a farmer's market.

So, apparently Amy’s boss was part of a criminal gang.

6 times Jason Todd took care of his fa- er, mortal enemies, and 1 time his family took care of him.

Damian doesn’t set traps for his rivals/siblings anymore. But when one he forgot to disable poisons Jason, Damian tries to stay ahead of the blame long enough to retrieve an antidote.

“I came here to propose something.” Tim takes a deep breath. “I think we should sell me.” Jason laughs. Tim doesn’t. Jason says, "Alright, I’ll bite. Who’re we selling you to, Dobby?” Someone in Gotham is preying on kids but careful enough to leave no proof. Luckily, Tim has a foolproof plan.

Jason was trying very hard to remain calm and cool and chill and every synonym he could think of for not panicking because he very much wanted to panic.  Freaky Friday: BatFam Edition

When Batman is out of town and Gotham City is left to the small flock of other Bats, what else is a group of highly trained vigilante protectors to do but make ill-advised bets about which Robin can complete a city-wide obstacle course in one night?Everyone getting dressed up in their old costumes to prove which Robin will reign victorious is either the best idea any of them have ever had, or the worst. Dick Grayson would like it on record that though this whole thing is technically his fault, he is not to be held responsible for anything his competitors and siblings may be getting up to. He would also like it on record that he absolutely plans to totally crush them all in this race.

Jim thought — hoped, really — that a good view of Robin might reveal scales, translucent skin, pointed ears, anything to indicate that he wasn’t just a child. Instead, he saw black hair plastered to his forehead by the rain, round cheeks that indicated he still hadn’t fully grown out of his baby fat, and a desperate boy shaking in the rain as blood began to pool around his knees.
