Who's Going to Save You From Yourself? by Sohotthateveryonedied

Summary
The only thing that has brought on the slightest relief since Bruce first did this to Jason was the Joker’s toxin. It washed every last dredge of fear away and left only amusement in its place. For the first time in a long time, Jason could breathe. But there are a million reasons why Jason would have to be a complete idiot to utilize that method again.
Even that mild dose the Joker gave him was more than enough to have Jason feeling invincible. No fear, no hang-ups. He felt immortal—and even if he did end up bleeding, the pain was too fucking funny to worry about. He’d never felt so free in his life.
Jason nearly asked the clown for an extra dose for the road, but he knows better than anyone what a slippery slope that can be. He saw it on the streets, in both his parents, in Roy’s eyes every time he finds himself craving a drink. Jason could never allow himself to take such a dumb risk.
So, Jason endures.

Summary
Jason sighed as he started unclasping his combat boots, losing himself in the familiar post-patrol routine that had been ingrained in him since he was twelve. Over the years, a lot had changed but, in essence, it was still the same procedure.
Left in his undershirt and sweatpants he had found abandoned on the floor of his living room, his eyes drifted back to the table and more specifically to the object laying on it. He didn’t even have time to close the distance and grab it before he heard a knock on his window.
Jason dragged a hand down his face and crossed the room. He scowled at the familiar floating figure and the latter just stuck his tongue out as a response. Unbelievable. He yanked the window open with more force than necessary.
“Hi, Jason!”
“Prime.”

Or: Jason Todd has a bad time, then Superboy Prime comes knocking at his window.

Summary
A few weeks prior, before heading out on patrol, Jason contemplated his lighter. On, off. On, off. The small flame only got to live for a minuscule second. Off, on. Another one took its place. He removed his thumb and watched the thin sliver of smoke disappear into the air. It was time, Jason thought, he was ready.
OR Jason decides to kill himself, and also to quit smoking.

Summary
“Death doesn’t happen to you.” Jason finally says. “It happens to those you leave behind.”
Dick’s breath hitches in his throat. His tears are flowing down his face once again. He falls to his knees, burying his face in his hands, his previous stoic facade forgotten. If only Jason would stop talking. He does not want to hear.
“When I died” Jason starts. “You and Bruce and Alfred and every other person who cared for me even if only for a second, were left to pick up the pieces.”
Dick feels Jason kneeling beside him, he likes to imagine that if he could, he would have touched him, would have cradled his face and wiped away his tears.
“A part of us always lives inside the minds and the souls of the people around us, and when we die, we are unable to take that part with us. It does not belong to us, it never did.” Jason’s voice sounds smooth and resigned, wise in a way he had never heard it before.
He doesn’t dare lift his head to look at his brother, he doesn’t think he could bear it.
Weeks after Jason's death and while Christmas is approaching, Dick decides he cannot endure life any longer. Jason visits his older brother, but it is Bruce who eventually finds him.

Summary
No one is listening. No one is looking.
How come no one seems to see what you do?
Is it because you're youngest medical examiner at the OCME Gotham? Is it because you're female? Is it because you're from a small town in the midwest? To the overworked, hardened medical examiners and detectives in Gotham you must look like the doe-eyed, idiotic protagonist of a Hallmark movie. So how are you supposed to convince them to look into the... unusual deaths that keep making an appearance on your table?

NOTE: This is the second fic in a three fic series, but can be read alone. The MC in this is different than the MC in the first and third.
