    Summary

    It feels like it used to and it catches in Slade's chest, makes the tide of regret swell up inside him. At first it's like the sensation of sea foam licking at his ankles on a beautiful beach. The way Jason syncs with him like no one else ever has. The way they don't even need to speak to know what they need to do to cover one another. The sheer fact that they both ended up on opposite ends of the same case, both landed here with this dirty son of a bitch at the exact same time. As time goes on, it becomes something else. The sea foam becomes the crash of waves, driven inland by an impending storm.

    Summary

    Jason stands shivering in front of a shitty apartment block in the Narrows, his hoodie tucked tight around the little warm body he has pressed to his chest. It's freezing and this is the warmest thing he owns. It's freezing and he hopes to God the same person owns this joint, because he knows how to pay for it in other ways. He didn't survive on the streets twice in his life for nothing. And now he has Talia's baby to think about.

    Summary

    This is power. That pathetic thing Cobblepot plays at isn't. Power is having Dick want his fingerprints on his hips. Power is nullifying a contracted hit with a glorious threesome in his own bed. Power is giving and taking at the right intervals.

    Summary

    Of all the places Bruce thought he'd ever find himself, this was not one of them. Thirteen minutes ago Barbara had patched him through to Dick's comm, had heard his adopted son's labored breathing, heard the desperation in his voice when he pleaded with Bruce to come and get him from where he'd holed himself up at and to please bring the antitoxin.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Dick gets pollened and Bruce is the only one who can help. Except the anti toxins didn't work.

    Summary

    The destination he has in mind is unclear — unnamed, yet, more accurately. Jason doesn’t know where he’s going, or what he’s going to do when he gets there. A few hours’ drive just didn’t seem far enough to be away from the expanse of Gotham, not when Bristol itself rolled out several miles around the city proper, so he cranked it up a few hours. Chicago seemed like a far enough place away, until he got onto I-80 and a terror seized him as he remembered Dick had spent a brief stint as an officer in Chicago. So he kept driving west.

    Keeps. Keeps driving west. Jason Todd has no idea where he’s going or no idea what he’s going to do when he gets there, but he knows with certainty three things:

    Jason Todd is a wanted man.

    Jason Todd is the Red Hood.

    And Jason Todd absolutely cannot go back home.

    ***

    The one where Jason flees to Montana, hides from his family, and inadvertently finds another.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Jason's on the run from Bruce, from Gotham, from anything that has to do with his old life. He somehow ends up in a tiny town in Montana at the end of a 30 odd hour drive and gets taken pity on/taken in by a Montana rancher (mainly because Jason's young looking, beat to hell, and still lovable if you're not looking through past-tinted glasses)
    Meanwhile Dick is turning himself into a panicked pretzel at everything and missing his brother and still scared of what happened (and what it'll mean for the future) when a Red Hood wearing figure is pulled out of the river and upon an ill advised unmasking attempt by GCPD blows up (because of the helmet bomb). It of course leads to a knock down drag out between Bruce and Dick and they're both left licking their wounds in the aftermath with the past haunting them in more ways than one.
