    Summary

    Jason Todd knows he doesn't get second chances. Those are saved for parents who love you, brothers who want you, and a universe that is not indifferent to your suffering.

    But then—something bizarre happens.

    After scrapping with a Mage, Jason wakes up feeling...weird.

    What does he do? Goes to the smartest person he knows: Tim Drake

    There's only one problem: Tim Drake is...seven?

    Things just got really complicated.

    Or,

    Jason Todd is transported to a universe where Bruce is a good dad, Dick is a good brother, and Tim is seven years old—and needs a babysitter.

    Summary

    After Tony 'steps back' from the Avengers at the end of Age of Ultron, he talks about the team with Friday and realizes he had nothing to 'step back' from. He never was part of the team.

    This story is a what if where Tony makes one change, which opens up new opportunities. One among them is an earlier proposal of marriage to Pepper than canonical. That is one among many many many facets of the story, it is not the main point of the story. Tony gains a support system, while other people lose theirs. Tony explores possibilities to defend the Earth. Tony gains allies.

    Summary

    Warnings: Winter Soldier nonsense and Steve’s stupid-ass decision making. Canon-typical violence and mentions of violence, murder, kidnapping and torture.

    This started as an attempt at a prompt response and quickly spiralled into a #fuckyouMCU spleen vent and overshot a prompt word count. I haven’t decided if I should edit it down and complete it, or let it become a longer, salty fic so I’m dropping it here in the meantime.

    Summary

    Jason had to make a choice.

    Enact his vengeance by killing the Joker himself.
    Or
    Forget Gotham and stay with Talia.

    However, there was an option C.
    One that could end with the Joker dead, with Bruce proven wrong and with Gotham changed for the better.

    Jason took Gotham to court.

    Very sad that such a skilled author's personal beliefs preclude further exploration. Hopefully their perspective will open one day and we can welcome them back. This was a delightful story.

    Summary

    “Oh, are you guys talking about Jason?” said a familiar mechanized voice from across the rooftop, and the Bats spun around to spot the Red Hood casually leaning against the rooftop access door. “I miss that kid, he was a riot. Hope he’s doing alright.”

    There was a moment of silence as the entire group stared at Red Hood, processing his words, and then Red Robin blurted, “Wait, you know Jason?”

    “Sure,” Red Hood responded breezily, amusement written in the lines of his posture. “We got pushed into the Pit at the same time. He went a little crazy and fell off a cliff, but shit could only go up from there, am I right?”

     

    The Bats find out that Jason Todd is alive and apparently has questionable taste in friends, if the Red Hood is any indication.
