    Summary

    “We will be climbing down and then up,” Damian decides, given the evidence.

    “No, Damian,” she says, and starts off walking, forcing him to come after her as the rope tugs taut. He chews on his lip behind his gator, cringing and trapped by his mistake. Survivalist exercise? Or maybe navigation? Some sort of test? He can’t afford to be wrong again.

    “There shouldn’t be any crevasses,” Ommi says into the silence, “but if I start to fall, cut your rope immediately. Understood?”

    “Then I can’t stop your fall,” he argues. She gives him a look, just the briefest glance over her shoulder. “Understood.” They crunch on for a minute. “I could rescue you, Ommi.”

    “No.” The word clouds the air, just briefly. “You will preserve your own life only. You should think of saving your breath, it’s a long way down.”

    That’s not an order, however, so he’s free to push. “We are leaving the compound.” She doesn’t reply. Damian squirms for a moment, trying to find a way to ask that requires no question at all. “We have a destination already in mind.”

    “Yes,” Ommi says, finally. “Gotham.”

    -

    Talia, Damian, and leaving the devil you know, the hell you've built, the life you've made your own.

    Summary

    Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.

    It's just not the same anymore.

    So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.

    The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.

    1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Probably one of the best Jason Todd AND nightwing fics ever written I think.

    Summary

    “Whoa, Jesus Christ! Someone got it out for you this week?” The guy’s hands go up; his stance doesn’t much change. “I’m not here to mess with you, man, I just need to talk. Look, just — I’m gonna get my hood and this is all gonna get a lot clearer, okay?”

    “Move slow,” Jason orders. The hair is standing up on the back of his neck; the tip of his tongue itches with an answer to a question he hasn’t guessed. There’s something almost-not-quite familiar about this guy, who is moving slow as ordered but way too casual for a guy being threatened by the Red —

    — he pulls back his hood on Jason’s own face.

    Jason's thought, a lot, about what his life might have looked like if he hadn't died that day. He didn't expect to ever get a clear-cut answer, and when he gets one, it doesn't look like he thought it would.

    Or: a story about grieving the life you might have had.

    Summary

    Superboy-Prime decides that, if every super gets to have a bat for a best friend, he's entitled to have Jason as his! Jason is less so convinced. Though, maybe, with time and some near (and not-so-near) death experiences, the World's Foulest might eventually find themselves on the same page, much to the dismay of everyone around them.

    Or: Jason and Prime being catty. World's messiest bitches, actually.
