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
It wasn’t supposed to go like this.
A hand smaller than his, warmer than his, bruised fingers and stained with blood, grabs onto one of his hands and squeezes. Jason tugs himself closer with the grip and leans forward until Jason’s head is resting against his shoulder. “Can we go home now, Tim?” he whispers.
Yes. Corpse or alive, it’s time to bring Robin home.
OR:
Robin has been captured for a week. Red Hood goes in to save him. It brings up some... unpleasant memories.

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
"I wanna try these cookies," he manages to rasp out. Hah. Rasp. he goes for a rasp-berry one next, before realizing his hand already has a blue cookie in it.
Raspberry red, he stares, like blood. Everything is a trigger, because everything is filtered through his own head, the crazy is coming from inside the house.
"Okay." Jason shrugs easily. Too easily. "Just tell me if you need me to do or not do anythin'. 'Cause, like, you look like you could use a hug. Or a warm bath or somethin'."
As if Tim isn't holding himself back from destroying everything, destroying Jason. Wrapping his hands around Robin's throat and crushing it like the cookies on the table.
OR:
Tim is having a bad day. That's not going to stop Jason from hanging out with him.[reverse robins]

Summary
"I won't tell on you if you leave after like, an hour," Tim tells Damian, still preoccupied.
With a hand already grabbing onto Tim's empty water cup, Damian pauses. This time, it's easier for Tim to read his expression; the 'Are you an idiot?' look is one Tim is, unfortunately, familiar with.
"Absolutely not," Damian says firmly, but without the harshness the words would come with years ago. "You are my brother, Tim. I wish to care for you,"
Having dropped that bombshell, Damian pivots and stalks out of the room, taking Tim's cup with him.
or:
Tim and Damian have had a rocky relationship, but slowly, they're recovering.
Right now, Tim is sick. Damian will ensure that he recovers from that as well.[reverse robins]
