relationships : jason todd / reader word count : around 500 synopsis : gotham is no place for the fragile, but you remain, a trembling constant in jason todd’s world of violence. you remind him that softness can endure even the sharpest edges.

jason calls you fragile sometimes—not like a flower, but like glass. not the sturdy kind that can withstand storms, but the delicate kind, the kind that shatters into shards so fine they can cut. he never says it unkindly; it’s just the way his hands tremble when they touch you, like he’s afraid of breaking what’s already too fragile for this world.
