âŠWeekly Fic Round-Up⊠/ a general Jason Todd Fic Rec List
A WAY TO WIN. by lazarus (zabiume)
Black mercy is back, this time as a drug on the streets of Gotham. When Jason gets drugged with it, he sees, what he believes, is a perfect fantasy.
(Inspired by Superman Annual #11, 'For the Man Who Has Everything').
I want a word for the almost-home by RedWritingHood
Jason hadn't intended on running into the Bat so soon after his arrival in Gotham, but when he catches sight of Batman stumbling out of a maze of vines, presumably having just gotten a good dose of Ivy's pollen... well.
Jason's never been known for turning down an opportunity.
Did You Know? Did You Know? Have You Heard The News? by KezAHex
Lanterns gossip. It is a universal truth. How else could all the Corps keep track of everything going on within their sectors? And, well, a romance between a Red and a Star Sapphire is gossip-worthy.

A Brother Born for Adversity by PatronSaintOfGotham
One-shot. Dick Grayson and Jason Todd navigate the trials of brotherhood.
sentimental by spiritsglade
Jason wasn't expecting the phone call. Well, he didn't expect phone calls in general, since his friends amounted to two guys who sat with him at lunch and talked to each other. He had forgotten one of their names, and at this point it was really, really too late to ask. It was either Michael or Mitchell.
Probably.
the shadow of violence by shipyrds
âIt's really this simple," Jason said. "You can feel however you want to feel about it. I'm not letting another kid get sacrificed on the altar of your principles."
It was to Bruce's credit, maybe, that he didnât flinch. It still made Jason mad as hell, though. That he could stand here, the resurrected prodigal son, and Bruce still wouldnâtâ
â
Jason shoots someone to protect Damian. Bruce, as usual, has opinions.
Be Careful by VermilionFlame
Somehow, in the nine months, four days, two hours, and thirty-six minutes between Jasonâs death and Tim hitting the streets of Gotham as the newest Robin, be careful had turned from stay safe to donât end up like Jason.
Or: Bruce deals with the changing meanings of the words be careful throughout the years.
not a laughing matter by thetiniestteapot
I saw that post (art on Tumblr) about Jason knowing how Dick behaved when he was younger, and treating Dick accordingly - and all the younger batkids going 'stop bullying him!'
It is funny.
But also...some of the implications you can take from it, aren't.
Invasion of Privacy by KangaRou
Jason flicked on the light and cast his eyes over the living room. It was empty, suspiciously so for the sense of wrongness. The couch pillows were fluffed, there was no dust on any surfaces, and the usual tell-tale smell of gone-off food wasnât there.
Which was weird in the fact that heâd been off-world  for over a month.
Someone had been in his house. Someone had cleaned  his safe house. A shiver ran down his spine.Â
5 times that the Bat-family forgot what privacy and boundaries were. And 1 time someone remembered.
the bridge to nowhere by evanescent
Heâs moving to the shoulder when he senses theyâre not alone anymore.
Jason looks up to find Batman at the opening of the alley and has to stop himself from automatically reaching for his gun. The manâs stance isnât fighting or hostile per se, but thereâs certain intensity and rigidness in it that puts Jason on edge.
Belatedly, he realizes that Red Hood and a hurt Robin isnât a novelty. (Then again, Batman never bothered to show up and deal with the fallout.)
...
Jason and Bruce take care of an injured Damian. It forces Jason to reflect on some... unpleasant things.
> VISCERA by vfx_batman
âDonât run.â
Jason reels back. That guttural voice could only belong to one person.
A fraying gauntlet clamps down on his shoulder. âDid you have a justifiable cause when you murdered that man?â
Of course itâs an accusation. He wants to join the worms in their chorus of laughter.
As it is, he swallows his elation and grinds the morsel to dust. âYour city is falling apart and you want to waste your time worrying about whether or not I had a legitimate reason for slicing up that rabies-infested piece of meat? What kind of a protector are you?â
The Batman grunts in lieu of a response.
Earth-51 Bruce + New Earth Jason reunite at the end of the world.

youth by DragonflyxParodies
The problem is that Jason has not been a person to any of the Bats since he died, and here, now, a child once again, the Bats are overjoyed to have their Jason back â one too young to contradict the mythos, the legend, the airbrushed relic they have turned him into.
One too young to demand to be seen.
To Build a Home (Bare Hands Bleeding) by spiritually
âHood.â
Jason stops in his tracks, but though his legs are frozen, his hands are lighting fast, and his gun is aimed before he even draws his next breath.
That voice. Too low, too dangerous, not a single ounce of fear behind it.
Angry. Angry in that fiery way. Lava too hot against the icy tundra of his veins.
âDick.â
OR
Jason shows his identity early in the fight at Titan's Tower and Dick spends the next months scrambling for answers. They both fuck up a lot. And they love each other more than either would like to admit.

21k words of Dick and Jason working their way to something like brotherhood
feel my stars align again by dizarys
There's a new trend amongst Gotham's criminals: making the Bats pick who to save. Good thing Jason and Tim both agree on who the right choice is.
Draw Back The Curtain by BearlyWriting
INCLUDES RAPE/NON CON
Bruce has somehow invoked the wrath of an alternative version of himself, who decides to fuck with his life by making a porn video with his alternative son, who, whether acting or genuine, seems terrified and begging and desperate and clearly underage. He sends it to the original universe and those people closest to Bruce.
"Itâs not real, Dick tells himself, again, but it doesnât quell the urge to scream thatâs building in Dickâs chest or the bile thatâs licking at the back of his throat. Because thatâs Dickâs little brother."
i'm not invincible by peachytaee
âJaybird!â Dick yells as soon as he pulls the double doors open, and Jason can see the trail of little ducklings behind him.
Duke, Steph, Cass, and Tim are in a neat line behind Dick, and they all look miserable. Theyâre all wearing pajamas, each with their own tissue box. Damian is standing apart from them with his arms crossed, and Alfred The Cat is perched precariously on his shoulder, but the illusion of an upset healthy prepubescent teenager is very obviously ruined by a very red nose, and the pale pallor of his normally deep tan.
Dick is the only one who doesnât look miserable, and Jason laments his own health and simultaneously curses Dickâs extremely abysmal culinary abilities and prowess.
Jason has no words. He wants to step back, away from the sick children.
He wants to go back to his germ-free apartment and watch the newest episode of Great British Bake Off with Roy.
He takes a step back.
Robins With Clipped Wings (can still fly) by siriuslyprongsrn
âAny last words, Robin two?â Joker asks, leaning so close to Jason that he can see every wrinkle on his fucking face, count his yellowed and decayed teeth, and smell his disgusting acidic breath. Jason closes his eyes, and whispers.
âSuperman.â
Death doesn't discriminate by Ihavementalissues
Brucie Wayne acidentally kills the Joker and Jason Todd is there to pick up the pieces of his father
Robin(s) by Beth4LC
Dick Graysonâs life is over. That is, his life as Robin. After a disastrous date with Supergirl, of all people, heâs ready to hang up his cape and his colours and start again with a fresh, new, (effortlessly cool) identity.
But then, he gets a visit from a strange time traveller who drops in by surprise and shows him that there is still magic to be had in being Robin.
The Gold Standard by Jackedrabbit
A flash of something pink and shiny catches Jasonâs eye, crunched in an aluminum ball and stuffed in the camper's door handle.
Oh shit.
âWing, what does that wrapper say?â
âWhy?â Dick drawls over the engine's death rattle, barely glancing up from his Twitter feed.
âJust read the fucking packaging,â Jason snaps back.
âNerdâs Rope, 400 milligr- Jason did you give me a fucking edible?â

His Hair Is Messy (He Doesn't Know Who He is Yet.) by Annrex
CUDDLE POLLEN FIC
He⌠shouldn't. Dick wouldn't be happy, and he just got done with an argument with Bruce. He wouldn't want to see Jason right now, even if Dick's hands were always warm and gentle when he patched Jason up, and how Dick would mockingly ruffle his hair, but his scalp still tingled and he leaned into it-
"Why are you in my room?!"
Ah. Shit.
A.K.A
Jason, in desperation, seeks warmth in a place he's not sure he's welcome in.
Petey Malone, Kid Crime Boss by Anonymous
Red Hood is accidentally revealed to his goons as Petey Malone, an identity Jason Todd was quite unaware existed.
Bruce Wayne has been using venting in a bar as smalltime criminal Matches Malone as therapy for three years.
The Dead Robin Society by museofthis
According to the retired-robin pact made during his formative years, Jason and Dick can call upon one another for unquestioned support at any time. No questions, no holds, and most importantly; no Bats.
The last few times it had been called upon included murderous owl cults and Pit revivals. Which is why Jason is currently flooring it across the harbor bridge towards BlĂźdhaven, wondering what the hell had happened for Dick to bring it back up four am Thursday morning.
Nocturna's Magic Star by Bloo_Kazoo
âSpeak to the night, tell it your troubles. What causes your light to dim?â
âDo you think thereâs something wrong with me? Am i too broken to fix?â his voice trembling.
Or Jason runs to his mom (Nocturna) after hearing things that confirm his worst insecurities
Then and now (and you and me) by Firepanda99
Between the freezing rain and the blood loss, Jason knows itâs only a matter of time at this point before he loses feeling of his whole body. Already, his fingers and toes feel like large, tingling, singular mases, uncontrollable and uncoordinated. The more he thinks on it, though, the more Jason thinks he wouldnât mind not having to feel his broken leg. Or his broken ribs. Or the bullet in his shoulder. Or the cut along his side slowly staining the ground beneath him red.
Yeah, Jasonâs screwed.
It seemsâŚfitting, though. Symbolic. Ironic. Some may even say devine. Gotham born and Gotham claimed.
Jason's first time coming back to Gotham after his showdown with Bruce doesn't go as planned.
Petulant by AllThingsRepeat
Jason keeps picking fights. Bruce keeps getting it wrong. After a quiet intervention from Dinah, Bruce begins to realize Jasonâs anger might not be defianceâit might be grief. And it might look a lot like his own.
Lost Boy by PantherInThePorridge
Lady Shiva lied to Jason all those years ago.
It doesn't change anything.
The Fall of the House of Wayne by angryhausfrau
Part 2: Who would have thought just being a decent fucking person would so completely reveal what a huge piece of shit Bruce Wayne was? But with the hunt for Red Hood heating up, Jason is going to have to start actually, you know, revealing the truth if he wants to completely destroy Batman and his legacy.
Breaking in to Bond by smallidiotbug
âJay,â Dick said cautiously as he watched his younger brother cross the floor to the kitchen, grabbing a cup worldlessly.
âJason, what are you doing here?â Dick asked more directly, walking over to the kitchen island and setting his weapon down.
âCominâ to see my big brother,â Jason gave a noncommittal shrug that only seemed to bristle his older brother up more.
Jason visits Dick in Bludhaven. For what, Dick has no idea.
when robins appear, loved ones are near by linguisticfreak
Jason and Bruce going through it in unconnected works
i wish we met before by jayhood
Jason Todd doesn't believe a word an adult says, truth serum or no truth serum. So when DNA test shows him Lady Shiva is his biological mother, he abandons his quest, choosing instead to help Batman apprehend the Joker.
It changes things a lot and not at all.
For frick's sake let Bruce be a good father DC by BingoBorrible
Summary
Aka I miss my dad so the batkids get theirs. I only write happy endings but there is a lot of angst in all of these.
1. Shell Shock: The Joker crashes the party. Brucie crashes the Joker.
2. Precautions: Dick does whatever the hell he wants. Jason adopts three children.
3. (up next) Mockingbird: Jason, somehow, manages to need the least therapy in Under The Red Hood.
4. (up after that) Second: Bruce is Thomas's second son. (Fuck.)

I'll Remember You by PleaseDontHoldBack
Jason was just trying not to die; now he's stuck taking care of a mercenary suffering from memory loss who's convinced they're dating.
The Red Sheep of the Family by Crayon
5 times Roy doesnât realize Jason dyes his hair, and 1 time that he does. This fic is in response to Jasonâs red haired character design in Batman and Robin.
I Didnât Know This Was a Problem for You by Nope_ItsNotMe
âYou- ugh- you canât laugh, okay?â Jason leaned back on the half-wet counter, arms crossing over his chest defensively.
âYeah, sweetpea, Iâd never.â Roy agreed, probably far too quickly.
Another pause lulled between the two of them, and Roy was about to ask Jason if everything was alright when the younger of the two mumbled something quietly. Roy blinked for a moment.
âWhat was that? Sorry, I didnât hear you.â
âI said-â Jason finally looked up to meet Royâs eyes, with much more confidence than Roy assumed he really had. âI said Iâve never-...Iâve never actuallyâŚhad sexâŚbefore..â He finished lamely, eyes quickly finding the floor again.
-
After dating for a couple months with zero action to show for it, Roy confronts Jason and learns about a secret that is not as big of an issue as Jason thought it was: Jason Todd was a virgin.
hope you got a' lotta nice things to wear by SafelyCapricious
âI was supposed to get off at five,â he points out reasonably, shifting his weight and fighting a groan. Â âItâs ten to six yaâll, I got things to do.â
The others are still protesting when he logs out of the game, turns off the headset, and then, just to be sure, double checks that itâs all off.
Only then does he reach down to run his fingers through Sladeâs hair.Â
It's My Life; It Never Ends by Mist-managed (Greyspaces13)
Jason's always had unusually high slick production for his age.
Night Moves by there_must_be_a_lock
âSo, what, you were just watching me in my sleep?â Jason snarls. âDo you have any idea how creepy that is?â
âWell, you did say my name,â Slade says wryly. âSounded an awful lot like an invitation.â
[In which Jason gets injured and lets Slade take care of him... in more ways than one. This is filthy, but also a whole lot softer than it has any right to be.]
left a light on for you by pinstripedJackalope
"The pain doesnât ceaseâit doesnât change or move, holding steady like someone is pressing a hot coal to the tender skin of his cheek. A hot coal⌠or a brand."
AKA a JayRoy Arkham Knight soulmate AU in which Roy is able to rescue Jay from the Joker just after he gets the brand on his face.
When forever was a sentence, sentence to death (oh i'm glad i get forever to see where you end) by Winteress_Soldier
Prompts - A Good Soldier | Punching Bag
"Hey Nightlight" Jason greets as he walks in, turning the corner just in time to see the way Kyle's entire face lights up as he registers who it is. He's not sure anyone's ever looked so happy to see him.
"Jace!" Kyle smiles, spinning towards him and nearly tripping over his own feet in his haste. He crashes into him a bit awkwardly but it doesn't matter, not when he's here, in his arms.
And he's waited long enough, he wasn't ever waiting again.
wish you could see what i see by linguisticfreak
Instead, heâs being edged by the most perfect, mouthwatering male tits in the galaxy. And he hasnât even seen them naked! He knows that from the shape alone!
Roy finds out why Jason has been hiding his chest. Lover boy to the rescue!
i deserve that, don't i, some sort of blazing love that i can live with by evanescent
For a brief, quiet moment, Jason hopes â maybe itâs one of the Green Lanterns, or any Lantern, really. Someone.
But since hope has so rarely worked out for Jason, a glowing ring enters his peripheral vision instead. So, close enough. He knows what it means.
He thinks the ring will make a beeline for Stephanie, or maybe Duke. That it will go to one of his dying siblings because thatâs what supposed to happen, right? Thatâs how it often goes down.
But the ring floats right in front of him and makes no indication to move.
âYouâve got to be kidding me,â he mutters under his breath.

Classic Aedyran and/or Dyrwoodan love story archetypes (and which gods they do and/or REALLY REALLY DO NOT invoke or involve)?
This went extremely sideways and also has no internally consistent organization, but thatâs why itâs a series of bullet points and not an essay.
So Aedyrans are pretty obviously into three things: duty, tragedy, and Drama. Like on the surface itâs all austere dutiful piousness but go like, an inch below that and the dramatics just start pouring out.
-Iâm not saying Aloth isnât like, legit anxious about the very real trouble heâs about to be or currently in, Iâm just saying a solid chunk of that is rooted in a culture that takes ancestor worship to really weird places, among other things, and literally none of it is as big a problem as literally anybody is making it out to be.
âthe appearance of not even wrongdoing but just.... not enough virtue signaling is *just as bad* as actual wrongdoing. (They blackmail that one kid with his momâs probably-fictional indiscretions? To the point where it kills him even.) Like âI saw Goody Proctor ventâ is actually the name of the game here.(1)
That being said, and given soap operas have not been invented, weâve probably got three major schools of art:
-high brow morality plays in which either our poor ill fated couple, torn apart by (unscrupulous relatives? That hussy down the street? A wild misunderstanding involving a stolen baby who was swapped for another stolen baby? Somebodyâs being tempted away from true love here, to whatever end) fate, dutifully come back to each other and are deliriously respectably happy together, or fall into despair and die over their bad choices. Think extra-overwrought Victorian âmodernistsâ(which I heartily donât recommend.), crossed with the soapiest tellanovellas you can imagine (which if youâre into that style of drama, I do)
-fantasy Shakespeare, where all the dick jokes are so old nobody recognizes them any more, possibly with a moral stapled to the end
-eyebrow raising, too much for todayâs delicate stomachs, fucking wild shit presented as âeducationalâ, with worse shit underground(2), because the veneer is more important than the reality of the thing.
But the major tropes youâre going to see like.... overall, not just in theater, are probably more community based? Like, you fall in love with your neighborâs kid, she falls in love with you, so you both go to your mothers and theyâll determine whether itâs a good match or not, you technically donât really get a say in the matter.(3) Thereâs also probably a lot of superstition involved? Like, if the omens are bad youâre not getting married, but if theyâre just okay you may have to wait six months.
-also thereâs a lot of hideously complex contract work over whoâs marrying into what, among other things.
âdivorce isnât an option! Better hope your relatives pick wisely!
â- more accurately divorce is even more hideously complex and expensive, so unless your spouse is actively trying to kill you itâs probably not worth it, and even then youâd probably have serious second thoughts.
In terms of like, the Ideal Romantic Partner (not necessarily romantic partner, but given youâve got to be married if you want to(socially acceptably) have sex or have kids, because Aedyrans are wild), youâre probably looking at someone dutiful, who will put their own comfort second to keeping their word, cultured but not smug about it, efficient but thorough, graceful and always perfectly composed no matter what happens, soft spoken without being servile, and the whole package should come across as effortless.
Weâre attempting to ignore all the work Iâve done re: shitty Protestants, so weâve canonically got nobody actually in charge of marriage anywhere, so probably youâre praying to Woedica (to keep your contract) and Hylea (if you need this marriage to be fruitful), and maybe even Ondra (to ensure everybody remains faithful, because Aedyrans are Dramatic, and the fucking moon bedroom is a thing)
As for the Dyrwodans:
Less repression + more inversion ceremonies mean theyâre way less dramatic in general, but obviously that means theyâre still Really Dramatic, given theyâre into swearing eternal feuds over literally nothing every other day. They place a much stronger importance on soul lineages than blood lineages, but whether you take that into consideration re: romance probably depends on what current feuds your family and/or community is currently embroiled in, and how serious they are. And if you have the cash/local cipher to get said lineage traced.
-Theater tropes are going to tend towards the comedic (think 27 dresses, or some other friendshippy romcom) and bawdy, and also fantasy Shakespeare, now with added dick jokes, because the existing ones are still too old to be recognizable, and probably some of the less overwrought Aedyran and Vailian plays, maybe. Also the whole theater plot, because that is a thing, even if theyâve had to bury it both deeper and shallower than Aedyr.
As a general thing, marriage is still mostly a practical thing, and while your families are definitely involved, theyâve generally got much less of a say in it. Outside of high society weddings, which are obviously more alliances than anything else, thereâs generally not a contract so to speak; because children belong to their mothers, and nobody much cares where she got them unless sheâs already married, when and if she does get married, itâs socially expected that her new spouse will join her household, and splitting up a household is so socially unacceptable murder is a neater, less fraught solution than divorce(4).
Your Ideal Romantic Partner (who probably is romantic, unless you need an extra pair of hands all the time that badly) is clever without being supercilious, with an easy disposition and a good sense of humor, willing to take life as it comes, but also to defend what theyâve got to their last breath, generous and community minded, but still independent enough not to need looking after, forthright but not unkind, and you should be able to tell how hard they work for whatever it is they want.
As for gods: pre everything, youâre probably looking to Abydon, to build your disparate members into a household, and Eothas, to make that household into a home. Post everything, itâs just Abydon, maybe Magran to ask that whatever trials you face make you stronger together. I donât know, there isnât a really good option there re: canon.
1: the Readcerans somehow take this even further but in an even weirder direction, this shit is wild, babes, but weâre not talking about them today
2: Iâve got a specific horrible irl example in mind but weâll go with the theater quest in PoE, turned up to 11, because that lot hasnât had nearly as much time to get established as Aedyran equivalents have.
3: congrats this is why Aloth is so hard to romance I guess. Nobody has approached his mother about him/he hasnât asked his mother to approach anyone. Also I have extensive thoughts on the vagaries of social class re: marriage, so like, who exactly does the approaching is probably equally complex!
4: look I didnât put that quest in there, what the fuck else am I intended to think? ....I mean Obsidian definitely definitely didnât expect me to come up with polyamory gone wrong but like Iâm not reaching when I say thatâs the conclusion I came to. Hooray for weddings?
the topic can be anything in the world but it has to be interasting and researchable. i have absolutely no idea what to do so does anyone have some cool research topics?Â
