  1. Summary

    A series beginning with Bruce Wayne finally deciding to go to therapy, and the ripple effect afterwards. Most will be hurt/comfort in some fashion with a lot of Bat Dad, a lot of sibling relationships and a lot of Jason Todd because he’s my fav.

    This is something of an attempt to consolidate both Bruce’s original characterization pre-crisis, and his more current one, to explain why he is as he is now, and to get him back to where he once was. A good dad who struggled with his own shortcomings and cared about his kids.

    Summary

    A shake of the head, clear even through the mess his mind is right now. “I'm not letting you bandage broken ribs yourself. Shirt off, arms up. Sooner this is over, sooner you're out of my hair.”

    Tim can’t exactly say 'okay, just don’t look at my back or worry about blood mysteriously showing up on the bandages,' but for some reason his brain isn’t producing anything helpful. 

    “Back,” he says, after a pause that might’ve been too long, “not ribs. Abrasion. I can do it.”

    Hood scrutinizes him. “...you haven't cleaned it, have you,” he says with disappointment strong enough to form a haze in the room. Or maybe that's what Tim's vision has become. 

    OR

    "Who did this to you?" but with Jason and Tim. Y'all know the drill.

    Summary

    One of Bruce’s many cars pulls up, and Jason waves goodbye to the secretary, opens the door and sits, starting to ask, “So, why’d you pull me out, A?”

    For a few seconds, there isn’t a response. Then, an unfamiliar voice replies; “To give you the opportunity of saving his life.”

    Jason’s already reaching for the doorhandle, ready to open the door and–

    “If you run, Alfred Pennyworth will die.”

    That stops him in his tracks. Slowly, Jason turns his head to look at the driver.

    “Buckle your seatbelt, Robin,” the Red Hood says.

     

    OR:
    Tim Drake died a hero, one whose shoes Jason can't possibly fill.
    Unrelatedly, the Red Hood is in town. He's got a robin to steal, two bats to kill, and luckily, a lot of time to spend with his kidnappee.

    Summary

    “Do you know how to swim, Robin?” Tim asks, keeping his voice non-judgmental. Fuck, fuck. 

    “Mostly?” Oh thank god. “I can–I can usually keep my head above water. Um. We never really needed to–it, usually if anyone ever went into the bay, it was ‘cause they were dead or blocked, so no one really–none of us–”

    Tim needs to cut this off, now. “I’ll give you the tips and tricks, okay?” Calm. Calm, steady. Be there, be a rock for him, that he can’t fucking use to stay above water, because you're not there–

    In a voice small enough that Tim has to strain to hear it above the water, Jason says, “Okay.”

     

    OR: Jaybin drowns. All Tim can do is hope he isn't too late.

    Summary

    In which Tim gets high on pain meds, loses his spleen, swings from chandeliers, and gets adopted by Batman—not necessarily in that order!
