Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

Summary
“The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”
“Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”
Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.
“You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”
“You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.
“No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”
Jason bluescreened.
(Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

misdemeanors and other forms of affection by PenAndInkPrincess

Summary
“These are mine.”
Jaskier looks up at the sound of Geralt’s voice, blinking in surprise. The witcher’s tone is even, and his face unexpressive, but Jaskier still tries to read into the words. Geralt is holding a palmful of wrapped sweets in his hand, and a quick glance reveals them to be lemon candies, which Jaskier loves.
And which Geralt hates.
He frowns, confused.
“You don’t even like those,” he feels compelled to announce. His own lingering guilt and fear of being a burden after stealing Geralt’s dagger aside, it makes no sense why Geralt would suddenly decide to forbid candies he doesn’t even like when he’s never denied Jaskier things before. They’ve been to three other towns since then, and he hasn’t brought it up. Jaskier’s avoided any Mischief to avoid creating any problems since then, so it’s not as if he’s given him a pressing reason to suddenly feel the need to scold him.
“They’re mine,” Geralt continues, splitting them between both hands and tucking them into his pockets on either side. “So don’t steal them.”
(Jaskier is part fae and thus has a biological imperative for Mischief) (Geralt proves unexpectedly supportive about this)

My Name is Hidden On Your Tongue by anarchycox for Aria_Lerendeair

Summary
Jaskier is cursed. Well his whole family line is. Every male born child cannot be named. They can be given a name, but it will never be a true one and people will always have an allergic reaction to saying this false name. Only a soulmate speaking your true name aloud will break the curse. The family though has never cared, they've only cared about the family fortune and marrying well.
But Jaskier cares. He is determined to travel the world, find his soulmate and learn what his name is.
And the best way to travel the world seems to be with a rather taciturn witcher named Geralt of Rivia. If he started to hope that Geralt would be the one to say his true name, well that was one thing that Jaskier would not say aloud.

Summary
“Todd.” Damian interrupted, “I don’t think we’re on a different earth.”
“I told you- I know that guy. He would recognize-”
“Shut up!” Damian said, “Turn around.”
Jason turned, the back wall was covered in newspapers, just like it always had been, he looked back at Damian confused, the kid rolled his eyes, “Look at the date.”
Jason’s heart drops, but he looks anyway.
December 24th, 2016
Fuck.
Damian and Jason get sent back five years on Christmas Eve... and Dick's not in a position to help anyone.

The realization that Jason just described Dick as his dream guy might be the most devastating thing he’s ever had the misfortune of living through. That Tim is there to bear witness only adds to the tragedy.

Rather, he wishes the dark waves of the ocean would just pull him under already."

Or; Dick struggles to put himself back together again after he gets back from Spyral. Thankfully, his family eventually gets the hint :)

Summary
Four years on from his brutal escape, Dick Grayson has managed to carve out a simple, if a little lonely, life for himself – that is until he meets the imposing but kind hearted “successful businessman” Jason Todd.
Four years on from the incident at the Court of Owls, Batman finally has a lead and wrangles Red Hood’s help to track down the last remaining Talon. It’s a case that Jason isn’t awfully concerned about until traces of the Talon keep popping up around his sweet but naïve new boyfriend Dick – a man he would do anything to protect.
