Summary
Jason Todd secretly got his GED. Then he enrolled in college for English lit, and kept that a secret too. Four years of classes, papers, and sleepless nights, and he never told the family. Because why would he? It wasn’t like they’d care.
Graduation day just so happens to fall on the anniversary of his death, and Jason’s already frayed at the edges when he walks the stage. He thinks he’s pulled it off; he thinks no one knows. Until the cheering starts, until he sees them all in the stands, until he gets home, overwhelmed, and finds a letter waiting for him, proof that someone cared all along.

Summary
Jason Todd has fought assassins, survived a Lazarus Pit, and run a crime bar in Gotham's underworld. Standing in Room 237 of Bowery Public High School with a poster of Jane Austen in one hand, he's absolutely terrified.
His first year teaching English is nothing like vigilante work. His seventh period, twenty-two remedial seniors who've been written off by everyone else, will make sure of that.Series

Fine, I'll Go To Therapy (And Get My Master's While I'm At It) by Sleeping_In_Stardust

Summary
Jason Todd hid his bachelor's degree for four years. His family found out anyway (and they brought an air horn to graduation).
Now he's getting his master's, teaching high school English, and trying very hard not to murder any crime lords.
He's mostly successful.
After an incident with Black Mask, Bruce gently suggests therapy. Jason goes (reluctantly). Dr. Fate asks uncomfortable questions about feelings, Jason's students trust him with their stories, his thesis on the school-to-prison pipeline writes itself because he's living it.
Somewhere between answering emails at 2 AM and showing up to family dinners with mediocre baked goods, Jason realizes he's building a life.
Healing isn't linear. Progress isn't perfect. But Jason Todd is learning that sometimes coming back from the dead is the easy part: it's learning how to live that's hard.Series
