    Summary

    The kid was going to die at this rate, whether or not Jason had anything to do with it. Apparently dead Robins were just a thing, now, and Bruce didn’t give a shit whether they lived or died.

    There was something almost comforting about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.

    There was something fucking infuriating about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.

    Well. If those fucks didn’t care about their baby bird now, Jason would just have to make them care. And he had a few ideas on just how to do that.

    Robin might get a little broken in the process, but what was a little kidnapping and torture between friends?

    ***

    a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Steph. And Dick. And Cass. And...

    Jason may have a problem.

    Less crack-y than it sounds. This is mainly hurt, angst, and reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come! There *will* be a happy ending.

    Summary

    Batman is dead. The Batcave is trashed. Gotham's protectors have all disappeared overnight. A dark gloom hangs over the city. There are eyes everyone can feel and no one can find.

    Stephanie Brown's grand return to Gotham is met with an eerie silence and a disturbing lack of people telling her to go home. All she finds is a murderous brat dressed as Robin and an annoyingly theatrical crime boss that had her old job.

    There's a Batman-shaped hole in Gotham, with only one gal left with the measurements to fill it. Who? That'd be a Spoiler.

    Summary

    In 1997, Bruce Wayne comes home carrying the weight of an oath he never abandoned. Gotham forges him into the creature known as Batman—a demon shaped out of fear, born from necessity to answer violence with vengeance. For four years, he holds the line alone.

    In 2001, that changes.

    Damian al Ghul is taken from the only home he’s ever known and left in his father’s care without choice, without warning, and without knowing who Bruce Wayne really is. That same month, Stephanie Brown decides that if no one stops her father this time, then she will. She can't afford to be scared anymore. Not when others are in danger.

    On one fateful August night, their paths collide. Nothing is the same afterward.
