    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    “It’ll just be a few days Timothy,” Janet had said, “The nanny will be taking care of Beatrice, so I want you to rest. Don’t think that I haven’t noticed that you’ve been getting up with her at night.”

    She had given him a peck on the cheek a fond look before leaving Tim in the house with the baby and the nanny.

    It had just supposed to be a few days. And then their plane went down.

    -

    When Tim is sent to San Francisco during the Red Hood’s reign of terror, he has a baby in tow. A baby that he doesn’t know what to do with, who won’t stop crying. Why won’t she stop crying?

    Jason’s just wondering what the fuck is going on.

    Summary

    Power flows freely for him, coming in waves and floods of potential. Tim dances with it, holding its hand and guiding it towards those who have little hope. The citizens call it a miracle, call him a hero and a saviour, a beacon of light. Gotham knows better, the city hisses and growls at him, it pushes back with darkness and crawls inside the weathered bricks cracks to lie in wait. For a human cannot outlast a city, unless it destroys it, and this one seems to want to save it.

    Tim likes to think the fatal flaw of his city's plan to get rid of him is they never factored in the fact he wasn’t really fully human.

    Summary

    No human is permitted to see the Animal Court. But Tim, a feral, too-small thing, with tangled hair and teeth that yet remember how to rend, who scrambles about on four legs as often as two because there is no one to lift him to his feet - Tim, who wandered into the nighttime woods and has no one to call him back to the light of human homes - why would the forest have any reason to think him a man-thing?

    Summary

    Jason didn’t know when it started. If he thought about it, he remembered the bright light that surrounded his mom in her last days. After that, he noticed the way some people lit up, outlined in a growing brightness that emitted from the edges of their beings. The brighter the individual, the closer they were to death.

    At the parties that Bruce insisted on dragging him to, he expected the dim light from the tired old businessmen who drank too much and were limping closer to their ends, glowing a little more every time Jason saw them.

    What he did not expect was for the 12-year-old neighbor kid to light up like a damn Christmas tree the second Jason laid his eyes on him.

    Summary

    Jason was not a good brother. That much, he was sure of. He was cold. He was uncaring. You would find more comfort in bashing your head off of a brick wall than you would in a guy like him. He just didn’t care. Plain and simple.

    Right?

    He glanced down at the phone in his hand, the obnoxious ringtone piercing the room, the name of an even more obnoxious kid flashing on the screen.

    ‘Replacement’, it read.

    A stronger man would have ignored the call.

    Summary

    The worst month of his life begins not with a bang, but with a sort of light sound, like a pebble hitting water. Sure, it’s a sound you can hear, but it’s not loud. And still, that pebble gets the mountain rolling.

    --

    Tim readies his staff and clearly he has been underestimated once more—you’d think these people would learn at some point.

    "Come on, we can't stay here!" he says and grabs Damian's arm.

    "Don't- Don't touch me!" Tim flinches away like he's been burned.

     

    Finally, Nightwing joins the duo and cradles Robin protectively. He glares at Tim.

    "What was that? Why didn't you knock him out as soon as he had Robin?"

    or: Every Robin deserves protection, except for the one that needed it the most.

    Summary

    Tim Drake ends up getting killed by Jason when he goes and confronts Tim and tries to get him to stop being Robin. Once Tim sees behind the mask of the man who is beating him, he knows his job is no longer needed in keeping the family together, so he lets death come to him.

    But only for him to wake up and be in the manor, watching as everyone continues their lives as a family again and for him to just watch, remain where he is as a ghost.

    ~OR~

    “I’m going to meet Viktor’s parents," Jayce announces confidently.

    “I see.” Caitlyn pauses. “Does Viktor know?”

    His smile slips. “Not yet.”

    Jayce talks his way into accompanying Viktor to the Undercity. After knowing him for three years, this is his first chance of learning more about Viktor's past - and he's about to find out why Viktor has been so reluctant to mention it.

    Summary

    Inspired by a comic by nefastidies (tumblr).

    ---

    The light from the Hexstone dimmed. Nothing floated, nothing glowed, and Jayce felt disappointment rise in his chest. With a sigh he took of his goggles and froze in the movement.

    Before them stood two people, or better said: one lay on the floor, while the other one was standing next to them, holding a big... hammer?
    They had only a second to take in the scenery as the one with the hammer pulled a lever on its handle and with a loud humming sound the head split open to reveal a pulsing multi-coloured light.

    Neither Jayce, nor Viktor knew, what it meant, but on one hand it didn't look safe and on the other hand the figure on the floor had lifted their head to reveal their face... and it was painfully familiar.
    Before he could think Jayce ran forward, his hands raised and put himself between the armed man and... Viktor?

    ---

    An absolute normal experiment pulls the future versions of Viktor and Jayce back in time. Good for Viktor, because it had been only milliseconds before his former friend and partner, the one he had trustest the most, had tried to kill him.

    “Ugh, stop! You’re messing it up!”

    “Yeah, stop,” Viktor echoed dryly, elbow-deep in soapy water. “Heaven forbid you disturb her masterpiece.”

    “Hey, it’s called style, papá,” Jinx quipped, crossing her arms. “You wouldn’t get it.”

    Jayce smirked and leaned back in his chair. “You hear that, Vik? We’re officially old.”

    Summary

    His typing slowly stops and his eyes tear up as he stares at the glimmering screen, “They’re happy- “ “-They’re actually happy“

     

    Just then the Batman to his side groans, head lolling to the side, as he’d evidently fallen asleep mid-word. His breath sinks of alcohol that Bruce hadn’t drank since he took Jason in and his hands seem weak.

     

    “And I’m not“ he finished in quiet contemplation.

     

    He no longer has to wonder what would’ve happened had he not taken Dick in. He knows and he doesn’t think he’s happier for it.

     

    He’d made his kids lives worse and he’d have to live with that.
