Summary
Artemis was gone. And Jason knew, logically, she’d return. She’d told him as much, had brushed her fingers along his jaw and said it with that quiet finality she always carried: she would only be gone for the weekend, business on Themyscira, nothing more. His brain understood that. His brain repeated it like a mantra. But his chest didn’t care for logic, and his bones had never learned faith. There was always a quieter, meaner voice coiled like a snake in the back of his mind, always poised to strike. The voice that told him absences grew into abandonments, and promises were just soft lies meant to make the leaving easier.

Summary
Jason flinches away from his touch and shrugs his shoulders. “I don’t care if you hate me,” he says, and he can’t even tell if he’s lying.
Dick’s hand drops back down to his side. “I know. But we don’t, anyway. I don’t.”
Jason hopes this isn’t another fucking dream.

Summary
It's ironic to him how the only time that Jason ever means anything to anyone always seems to be when he's nearly dying.
Maybe that's the point though, maybe no one's meant to care for him. Not when he's not even realistically supposed to be alive.
___
Or in which Jason gets abducted, he doesn't expect anyone to rescue him. Especially considering Dick and him aren't on the best of terms at the moment. But when his older brother gets captured while out searching for him, things change.
And Jason will stop at nothing to ensure the elder's safety. Even if it means risking his own.

Summary
Most of the time, Tim is fine. He doesn't like to wallow in his own misery — not only is it unbecoming of a Robin, it just shows how much of a useless beta he is, not able to balance out his own emotions. When everything becomes too much, he likes to find himself a quiet spot where he can purr to himself and take down the walls he builds around himself.
In all the years he's been alive, no one caught him yet. He never expected his little purring session in Titan's Tower would be interrupted by not one, but two crime lords alongside another Tim, and even less so for it to turn as well as it does.

Summary
There is something wrong with Jason. No, not all that stuff that’s usually wrong with him, but something else. Something unusual. Something they cannot quite pinpoint, which is strange considering the whole family consists of master detectives. Not even Tim can figure him out. Damian claims he can, but simply does not want to. Dick is torn between wanting to be the best big brother ever and feeling like he’s still not good enough. Bruce is, for once, completely clueless.

Roy had promised Jason could call if his pack kicked him out, but Jason still hesitated as his thumb hovered over the archers contact, before he turned of his phone and put it on his desk. Jason knew better after all, it was just something Roy had said, to placate his best friends weird clingly little brother.
Jason’s alpha didn’t want him; Dick wasn’t calling him back; he was already packless - or as good as it was only a matter of time before Bruce broke the bond. But Sheila… if she really is his biological mother, maybe she would want him.
a little ficlet/drabble inspired by PoisonIvory's wonderful jayroy fic "Prince of Foxes"

Summary
He freezes when Jason's eyes snap up, and he stumbles back, widening the gap between them. Bruce doesn't try to approach him again, his heart in his throat.
"You're not my dad." Jason mumbles, and Bruce watches as the boy's pupils shrink, and he looks horrified at something Bruce can't see. He's staring right at him, but for some reason, it feels as though Jason is looking through him.
The words sting like acid, and Bruce ignores the crushing of his lungs, "I… okay. Okay Jason."
"No, no, Bruce." Jason sounds frantic, and he pulls at his hair, "You're not my dad. You're different."
(Bruce is late to patrol, Jason freaks out. And finally, they talk — better late than never, after all.)

Summary
Jason's just trying to figure out his water bill, and Stephs baking in (making a mess of) his kitchen, when he realizes how normal this kind of normality has become, and that terrifies him.
People like him aren't supposed to HAVE normal and that means it can only ever be taken away from him doesn't it?
