Summary
The kid was going to die at this rate, whether or not Jason had anything to do with it. Apparently dead Robins were just a thing, now, and Bruce didn’t give a shit whether they lived or died.
There was something almost comforting about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
There was something fucking infuriating about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
Well. If those fucks didn’t care about their baby bird now, Jason would just have to make them care. And he had a few ideas on just how to do that.
Robin might get a little broken in the process, but what was a little kidnapping and torture between friends?
***
a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Steph. And Dick. And Cass. And...
Jason may have a problem.
Less crack-y than it sounds. This is mainly hurt, angst, and reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come! There *will* be a happy ending.

Summary
There was really only one question that Jason Todd needed the answer to after his resurrection.
Just one.
He could have confronted Batman with a dramatic and overly elaborated plan.
Or he could just ask Bruce.
So he asks.
AU in which Jason Todd chooses to finish his All Caste training, and eventually goes back to Gotham to ask Batman why the Joker is still alive.

Summary
He knows exactly what it’s like to lose someone he loves.
Like a father. Like a mother.
Like an adopted son.
It was always like this. Any time Bruce saw Jason, he always looked the same way he had when Bruce found him in that abandoned wing of Arkham. Broken, scared, and in pain. Bruce must’ve seen the vision at least a hundred times, and it never got any easier. This wasn’t how Jason deserved to be remembered. He was so much more than what Joker had done to him.
Bruce had let go of his hopes for a happy ending a long time ago. Even if the Insurgency managed to kill Superman, it wouldn't bring his son back. But when new information suggests Jason could be alive again, it's so hard not to hope.
OR
What Jason Todd’s resurrection might’ve looked like in the Snyderverse if Bruce was a Good Dad, Slade was good but not good good, and Roy Harper was involved like he deserved to be. (No Snyderverse knowledge needed to enjoy!!)

Summary
Slade hasn't quite left Gotham yet when the Society assigns him a contract on the Red Hood. For reasons he's not interested in asking about, they still want Black Mask in their ranks, and following the disastrous showing of their last hit squad, they've decided that it's a job best suited for actual professionals.
'Take the Red Hood off the board.' Simple enough. He's already worn himself out fighting the Bat, after all, and Slade's killed plenty of people just as dangerous as him. There's no reason one little fallen bird should give him any trouble.

Summary
Assumptions tend to be harmless. Little misunderstandings, with no consequences but some temporary confusion, usually, but there are some incorrect assumptions that his family has made that Jason would rather were never corrected. Not if he's the one that has to correct it, anyway. Of course, the universe pretty much seems to enjoy screwing him over every chance it gets. Why would this be any different?
