Summary
“Shit, Jason, what happened to you?”
What happened to him? What happened to him? Jason felt laughter tearing from his throat—raw, cutting, and bitter.
“Where to start, D?”
Dick didn’t look amused; he looked worried and freaked out, and Jason couldn’t understand why. The room spun faster, and his legs buckled beneath him again. This time, his knees slammed onto the floor, and the black shadow darted around the room once more.
Or
Dick, Tim, and Damian find a gravely injured Jason smashing framed photographs in the manor and try to take care of him.Series

Summary
The scene replayed in his mind in a sickening loop. His words to Bruce echoed: “It’s him or me. You have to decide.” The split-second silence. Bruce’s “Please don’t...” The searing pain of the blade slicing his throat.
Or
The first moments of Jason coming back to life after Bruce slit his throat with the batarang.

Happy Birthday Dear Jason (Happy Deathday to you) by MarionAveoneLuther

Summary
If he went home tonight, he’d have to be a memory, a disappointment, a promise, a prospect of redemption, a predecessor, a stabbing pain in someone’s heart, a memory of a beating in someone’s body, a wishful future presence in someone’s life. If he went home tonight, he’d be everything everyone else wanted him to be. Everything everyone remembered him to be. Everything he never was and never will be, and nothing he really is. If he went home tonight, it wouldn’t be home. It would be a cell, a coffin, an old green, red, and yellow suit. He’d be a silent, awkward nod, a desperate hug, a playful punch on the shoulder, a rigid handshake, a pleading smile, a pat on the back.
In honor of Jay's birthday, a little fic of his thoughts as he watches his 'family' setting up a 'surprise' party for him. One he'll never attend.

Summary
AU: Jason, a few weeks after his return to Gotham and 2 and a half years after his resurrection, is struggling. Having revealed his identity to Bruce and Dick, knowing Tim replaced him as Robin (and son/ brother) and that Bruce not only didn’t kill Joker, but is also now actively stopping Jason from doing it, Jay loses it. Betrayed by those he loved the most, resentment and thirst of revenge engulfing him entirely, he is coping by not coping. When Batman encounters a scene of brutal massacre he knows Red Hood was behind, he seeks him out to confront him, only to find him in a broken catatonic state.

Summary
“The All-Blades,” Ducra whispered, and Jason peeled his gaze off the swords to look at her, panting, the rain drenching his body barely registering.
“Can you tell what they are, Jason?”
He looked at her, eyes ablaze. “They’re me and what’s within.”
Ducra’s small form stood taller, and beneath the millions of wrinkles from her three thousand years, her lips twitched into a smile. “They’re you and what’s within,” she repeated proudly.
Or how I imagined Jason summoning the All-Blades for the first time during training with Ducra
