After a mission that takes Batman and Nightwing back twenty years in the past, they end up with time to kill. Bruce does what he does best: he finds a kid.
Luckily this one is already his. sobs
When an Outlaws mission gets Jason sent back twelve years in the past, he finds himself in a familiar position: stealing something stupid and getting caught by a Batman who wants to give him a second chance.
It’s a refreshing change from how encounters with his present-day Batman usually go. (companion piece to through death and time, also recced.) Oh Jason. Oh heart.
A stranger appears in the Jedi Temple. Nobody knows who he is or where he came from. Nobody knows what has happened to him except that it must have been something truly terrible.
The stranger's name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. Oh, Obi-Wan...
Bruce offers each of his children the chance to go on vacation with him, and they get to choose the destination. Jason chooses the one place he thinks Bruce will enjoy the least, out of spite.

Oh Dick. Oh heart.
Red Hood: is N… adopted?
Oracle: I’m pretty sure you all know whether or not you’re B’s bio-kids
RR: no like… did he /get/ adopted?
Oracle: 1 sec
Oracle: Holy shit This is adorable.
Jason and Damian cross paths in a death-infested rathole turned community sanctuary/graffiti haven at 4:00 AM. They contemplate art, troubled pasts, and navigating life when everything is, on average, going right. That, and horses. Aw boys.
