Summary
Jay closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose to push back the encroaching headache. And possibly the admittedly ironic desire to strangle this kid for his lack of self-care instincts. "Tim. Timmy. Answer me this. Where exactly is the old man? Actually, better question: Why in the ever-living hell is the answer to that anything other than 'right here'?"
Tim gave a huff that sounded more tired than defiant. "Because, like I said, it's a mild case and I don't need to be under observation. I already told Bruce the same thing I told you: I'm fine."
"And he believed that."

Just my luck.
"Why did I agree to this?" Jason huffed, scowling as he peered through the foggy glass of the panels embedded in the door. Rain painted the landscape, adding a faint shadow of neon to the grass and darkening the earth in the spots where it lay bare. It was too heavy to be considered a sprinkle, but too light to easily justify begging out as he now found himself very much wishing to do.The temperature, at least, wasn't too low, but the longer Jason lingered at the door and observed the scene outside, the deeper a squirm of twitchiness settled into his muscles and the more his stomach felt just a touch unsettled, like someone had tilted it a few degrees on a seesaw.
But a wet nose was gently pushing and snuffling at his hand, and dammit, he'd made a promise.

Summary
Street rat. Madman. Crime lord. Murderer. Rebel. Prodigal son. Assassin. Acolyte. Hero. Disappointment.
Failure.
Jason Peter Todd-Wayne has been given many names by many people.
Condemned to hover on the edges of family and team like a spirit trapped between realms, the only labels that matter to him now as the Red Hood are Enemy and Ally.
Or so he thought.
But after a combination of dumb luck and Gotham luck bring to the forefront a false narrative that has lived ever since a bright-eyed boy of fifteen died, Jason realizes that maybe there remains a thing or two worth clearing up for the next generation.
They say that dead men tell no tales.
That only works when the living don't lie on their graves.

Summary
Batman is the very personification of fear, of vengeance, of the night itself. He is also the World's Greatest Detective.
Bruce Wayne, however, has a spottier record. A quiet day at home quickly reminds him of this essential fact.
(At least Bruce Wayne is still the one his children like best, though.)

Summary
Apocalyptic events have a funny way of cutting through all the bull, don't they? Time doesn't heal all wounds; sometimes it just gives an infection the chance it needs to set in.
And time isn't enough to heal the wound he has now. It may never be.
But maybe, one day, time will ease the pain just enough to let him breathe.
This story technically deals with a "What If?" rather than the canonical events and timeline of the original AU, but it still discloses massive actual spoilers from the book Living in The End Zone, by Lulu_Rhythm/Lulu_Rythmea, so please make sure you're caught up with that before proceeding.
Additionally, a note on word count: the actual narrative/story text is about 2,200 words by AO3's count; the remainder of the length is largely centered around a friend of my own who passed away in real life, and sharing things that I learned from her and others—especially regarding grief.

Summary
He is darkness; he is vengeance; he is…out of f*cks to give.
When Jason Todd's brain refuses to give him a break even after a thoroughly successful mission, his two best friends are right there to help.
Too bad the idiot isn't about to make it easy on them.
[Takes place after Jason's debut in Gotham as Red Hood, but before Bruce's "death" fake-out in the Timestream, and Jason's subsequent return to the city.]
Now with 50% more angst! (It's the price of the extra cuddles, Lulu. < 333)
