Percy was at least happy that this wasn't a prophecy. Stealing back some demigod weapons from a mortal? Sure, Iron Man was a superhero and a genius, but after dealing with Gaea, that was nothing. They just had to steer clear of anyone who might recognize them, and they were positive that they could pull it off easier than most of their quests. And potentially land Leo a job, while they're at it. But Percy should have known better. Nothing is ever that simple for a demigod.

Batman's tell-all memoir is about to publish. Normally, Bruce wouldn't care about the 100th Batman parody to hit the shelves. But when he gets his hands on an early sample, he finds this memoir contains a troubling amount of truth about him and his family.Bruce can't let this stand. As he knows better than most, the only way to squash a scandal is to create an even bigger scandal. Dominate the news circuit. Take up all the publisher's publicity resources. Sure, he has never written a book before, but how hard can it really be?Well, as Clark tells him, those are some famous last words, Bruce.

Working as a street fighter in the Iceberg lounge, Jason manages to attract all the wrong sort of attention.

There’s something wrong with Dick.Tim thought everything was getting back to normal. Bruce was alive and back in their timeline, the Birds of Prey were once again operating out of Gotham, Dick had the city well under control as Batman and even Damian had been less obnoxious than usual.And then during a firefight at a warehouse by the docks, Tim was almost hit by a flying boomerang. And Dick never noticed.When something is wrong with your big brother, who else do you turn to but your big sisters?

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.
