Character Study

i often wonder what goes on out there by librarby. Gen. AO3. 2022.

Bruce Wayne was an odd child. Was strange even before his parents died, that poor kid. Bruce Wayne is an odd adult. The papers describe him as ‘eccentric’. (Most people don’t give him the liberty of kinder language.) Bruce Wayne is probably odd enough that he doesn’t read the papers.

seven years i have loved (this story never ends) by klixxy. Gen. AO3. 2022.

This is how it starts: with blazing lights stinging his eyes, sweaty palms lathered in chalk and gripped upon a steel railing. And this is also how it starts: blood on his hands and blood on the snow, standing still against the horizon as the sky wets his lashes. (Dick Grayson.)

Emotional Hurt/Comfort

Emotional Hurt No Comfort

blood on my hands by impravidus. Gen. Jason & Tim. AO3. 2021.

dearly departed by phis_corner. Cass & Jason. AO3. 2021.

Cassandra Cain never got to meet Jason Todd. Her first memory of him is when she entered the Batcave for the first time, and the first thing that caught her eye was the torn and bloody suit in red and yellow and green displayed in a glass case.

In which Jason suffers recurring joint pain as a result of the injuries dealt by the Joker.

we take what we're given by macabrekawaii. Gen. Jason & Tim. AO3. 2021.

Jason wears pain like a threadbare tee shirt: once beloved and comfortable, but now worn thin and familiar. Most days he barely realizes it’s there. Pain is a low thrum, a backbeat to everything he does, the throb of blood in his veins. Some days it’s easier to ignore than others.

Seriously, the bell above the door doesn’t even ring when they walk in. It’s terrifying. And that’s assuming they actually come in the normal way, which, by the way, they do not. The only solace that can be found in dealing with these maniacs is that there’s a helpful How-To section in the Dunkin Donut’s handbook that covers everything from Red Robin’s ridiculous coffee order to what to do in the event that Nightwing and Spoiler ride up on a hideous scooter while ominously chanting for donuts.
