    Summary

    The clock in the corner ticks, the goldfish tank hums, and the smell of mildew sinks into Tim's sinuses. Everything swirls in his mind in a never ending loop. Phantom screams, the glow of fire, last words left unsaid. They’re gone. He doesn’t have cousins or aunts or uncles or grandparents or even close family friends. It’s just Tim now.

    A few years back, he created Edward Drake. Just a fake ID, a papertrail, and social media profiles. His dad’s supposed brother, conceived through an affair and kept a secret from the rest of the family until he reconnected with Jack Drake recently.

    Uncle Eddie was never meant to be a physical person. But with a few tweaks, all he needs is a face.

    Or: following the death of his parents, Tim hires an actor to pretend to be his uncle so he can avoid foster care. But how long can the web of lies stand underneath the scrutiny of the Waynes?

    Featuring: gymnastics, a gang war, and brotherhood.

    Summary

    “Nothing I’ll say is going to change your opinions on me,” he said with a wry grin, the incredulity of the whole thing apparent based on Cassandra’s steely look.

    The way her eyes bore into him made his face itch. The weird honesty was throwing him off.

    “No,” she agreed easily, “but… I’m curious.”

     

    Or: Jason and Cassandra discuss morals and gain some level of understanding of each other. Do they like one another now? Hell no, but now they can hate with more information. (They don’t actually HATE each other, it’s just… complicated.)

    Summary

    Apoptosis- Form of cell death, also known as programmed cell death, in which a ‘suicide’ program is activated within the cell. It is a normal phenomenon, occurring frequently in a multicellular organism.

    For all intents and purposes, the Lazarus Pit works. It brings Jason Todd back to life, back to sanity. It stitches together old wounds and grants a second chance to Gotham's Red Hood. The only side effects are temporary catatonia, then equally temporary insanity. The Lazarus Pit works perfectly.

    Then, it doesn't.

    Summary

    Bruce realises it then with a sudden startle, all the anger and frustration that had been building up over the last couple days freezing under his skin, blood cold.

    "You're trying to make me angry…" Bruce carefully says out loud, all the pieces of the puzzle finally coming together, watching the way Jason's shoulders tense at the shift in tone from angry to a calculative calmness, "On purpose?"

    Jason's previous expression, one filled with twisted amusement at Bruce's apparent annoyance is immediately replaced with something tragic. His blue eyes grow wide and fearful, and Bruce watches in delayed understanding as the boy takes a fearful step back.

    (Jason's change in behavior is cause for concern. Fortunately, Bruce is a pretty good detective — most of the time.)

    Tales from Wayne Manor: Jaybin.

    This is just a sweet excerpt from Jason’s early(ish) days at the Manor. AMAZING characterisation and there’s some subtle Red Hood foreshadowing as well but not too much. I liked this. 🥰

    11/10.

    ***
    “No,” Bruce agrees, leaning down and smiling into the crown of Jason's head, curly hair tickling his nose, “You're not trouble.”

     

    You'll never be, not to me.

    Summary

    Catherine catches his trembling eyes with her own tentative look, “Are you okay?”

    “Am I okay? I just got a beautiful baby boy and a beautiful wife all on the same day,” Willis stands to his feet, grinning at her with all the hope in the world despite the evening darkness that settles across the small kitchen, “I'm feeling pretty fucking great, sweetheart.”

    (The first time Catherine meets Jason Todd is in Willis Todd's kitchen.)

    THIS is Jason’s family.
    The perfect version of young Catherine (Johnson?) and Willis Todd. I genuinely love this. This is how I see them being like, before things got hard.

    11/10.
    This was perfect. 🧡
