    How to protect your Pit-crazed brother from the consequences of your actions by

    Summary

    As soon as he lays eyes on the scene, Jason only has a single moment to take it in: Seventeen goons, most favouring legs or nursing wounds, but all still armed and poised with sinister hubris over a fallen form, which is bound and held roughly by two of them.

    They’re laughing and jeering, one of them has a hand tightly gripping their captive’s hair to hold his head back, another is twisting his upper arm, and yet another is raising some sort of baton to strike. Their captive’s face is bloodied and bruised, lip split and one cheek swollen into the crease of his cracked domino, but he still snarls defiantly at his captors.

    It’s Damian.

    All at once, Jason finds himself completely swallowed by that roiling, green haze.

    Or

    AU where Jason was trained as Damian's bodyguard during his time with the League. So when the newest Robin recklessly sneaks out on patrol and gets badly hurt, Red Hood loses it to the Pit and slaughters the perpetrators. In this green-hazed state of mind, Jason's only concern is the safety of his charge, while Damian is far more concerned with making sure Batman doesn't find the bodies.

    Summary

    He is going to die here.

    Jason is used to fucking up, feels like he spent his whole life doing it. But this, this isn’t one he’s going to be able to come back from. This isn’t one Batman will forgive, not even Bruce could.

    The joker is gone, the seconds left on the bomb feel like an eternity in his mind.

    Everything happens at once, every sound, emotion, agonizing memory and nerve in his body are on fire, and then there is nothing.

    or

    The one where Jason Todd is ghost for his 6 month death-vacation and Tim Drake happens to be a nosy meta who can see ghosts.

    Summary

    He tapped the screen again, his face up close in the zoomed camera.

    "Whoa, ultra Tim-vision, no thank you. I think I just saw my pimple's pimple. Gross." He zoomed out and grinned at himself. "I don't know if I have ever felt so freaking happy or strong or cool, or well, anything, in my whole entire life."

    And it was true. Standing atop a building as Robin. If someone were to look up, they would definitely think he was the real deal and the thought left him beaming. Jumping in place, Tim gave another whoop, punching the air and then bending over into a fit of high pitched laughter. This was all the joy he would ever need for the rest of his existence.

    And then someone screamed.

    OR,

    Tim Drake puts together a very realistic Robin costume for Halloween and gets mistaken for the real deal.

    Summary

    "What did you throw at him?"
    "A week of a now wasted experiment," the child grumbles, flipping a small container over in his hand, "father will be most displeased."
    "What?" Tim furrows his brow.
    "I was studying bee culture," the stranger gives a spectacular sigh.
    Tim sputters.
    "You threw a bee at him?"
    ...
    He is halfway home, later, when he realizes.
    Batman and Robin have been facing off against some sort of meta criminal who can control bees.
    The kid who keeps bees in his backpack is Damian Wayne.
    Robin.
    And he's kind of an asshole.

     

    OR

     

    When Damian joins the Wayne family early, there are consequences. While Jason lives, Tim's parents both are murdered overseas and he is left alone - for now.

    Summary

    In Gotham, the impossible becomes possible. So why wouldn't ghosts exist too? That's what Tim Drake assumes at least. So they should be treated like people too.

    Cue a ton of Tim talking to thin air, the Batfam worrying, and cuddles. Lots and lots of cuddles.
