Summary
The kid was going to die at this rate, whether or not Jason had anything to do with it. Apparently dead Robins were just a thing, now, and Bruce didn’t give a shit whether they lived or died.
There was something almost comforting about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
There was something fucking infuriating about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
Well. If those fucks didn’t care about their baby bird now, Jason would just have to make them care. And he had a few ideas on just how to do that.
Robin might get a little broken in the process, but what was a little kidnapping and torture between friends?
***
a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Steph. And Dick. And Cass. And...
Jason may have a problem.
Less crack-y than it sounds. This is mainly hurt, angst, and reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come! There *will* be a happy ending.

--
Diana reached out and began to unwrap him, holding his hand steady. Careful not to ask another question, she said, “I hope your father deserves your devotion to him.”
As the lasso fell away, he muttered bitterly, “he didn’t.”

Summary
In which people are shaped both by their circumstances and by their natures.
Featuring: Cassandra Grayson, Jason Gordon, Barbara Todd, Richard Drake, Damien Brown, Timothy Al Ghul, and Stephanie Cain.
Yes I did write this solely for the title.
--
Cassandra Grayson is young and brilliant. She moves with grace in her every action; she smiles brightly and freely and laughs at everyone’s jokes. She understands five languages – Romani, Cantonese, English, French, and BSL – but doesn’t speak much in any of them. Her parents communicate with her in a hodge-podge of all five and they listen to her expressions, her silences, as much as they do to her words. She loves them more than anything and they love her just the same. Robin, they call her, with love.
