Summary
When Garth asked Jason what phrases he wanted translated, the mer hunched down in the water and blew furious bubbles before huffing, “No.”
Garth frowned. You already know how to say that. What other things do you need to be able to say to Bruce and Alfred?
Of the speech, Bruce recognized his name and maybe Alfred’s. It made it feel like something was clawing inside his chest, knowing that he couldn’t communicate properly with this child living in his pool.
Jason curled his lip back. I know human words.
You really don’t.

Summary
He’d spent last night sleeping behind a dumpster—which didn’t exactly feel Superman-y, but, well, he was Superman. So anything he did was Superman-y. Right?
Right.
Just because he couldn’t imagine any of the other Supermen—no, not other. Fake. They were fake Supermen. So nothing they did was Superman-y.
...Right.
Or: Superman’s death left a gap that everyone with a superpower or good heart was eager to fill. But only one of them was actually Superman. Or, as close as you were going to get. Closer than anyone else, at least. Also, only one of them was a teenager. But no one seemed to care about that as much.

Summary
Jason is just trying to survive on the streets of Gotham--made slightly more difficult by the fact that some gang has apparently decided to make him their most wanted person. Until he befriends a kid-who-definitely-isn't-Robin, who promises to help him reunite with his dad. And, well, Jason's not in the habit of accepting favors. But maybe it would be worth it, just this once.
Featuring ghosts or zombies or hallucinations, misunderstandings (both unintentional and entirely intentional), lots of identity shenanigans, and some discussion of dads.

Summary
Jason has figured out that there are two groups of people: the "Heys" who keep him in a bathtub with too little water and subject him to unimaginable pain every time they pry scales from his body and the "Assholes" who buy the scales.
So when he's taken from the Heys by some Asshole, he's not stupid enough to assume his situation will actually improve at all. All humans, after all, are terrible--especially Assholes who wear demon skin and don't quite grasp how lost Jason really is.
(In which Jason misunderstands pretty much everything about humans and Bruce is an asshole...in the nicest way possible.)

Summary
Seven weeks.
That’s how long Jason had lasted with the first Batman before he broke down, chest heaving, eyes burning, tears and snot and wet sobs washing away any rose-colored film that might have let him believe goodness, no matter how small, existed in the world.
Seven weeks the first time.
This Batman only took seven hours.

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
"Do you think we could go back to the ground, maybe?"
Superboy pulled a face. "Oh, can we not? I just don't want you to get away while I'm talking to you. This way is better, since you can't leave."
"Oh." Robin's stomach dropped, just a little bit.
...
The troubles of navigating teenage friendship can be hard when you have crazy telekinetic powers, an unstable living situation, and don't talk to people your age very much. Superboy really wants it to work out with Robin, though.

Summary
Bruce Wayne didn't tremble. In all the years of knowing the man, Jason Todd had never seen him shake. He was the epitome of large; broad shoulders, and a confidence that he held as both Brucie and Batman that made you feel like you were looking up at him even if you happened to be taller.
The Bruce Wayne sitting on the couch that was biting his lips and wearing a raggedy hoodie that looked like it'd been through hell with how much it'd been stitched up, was small.
In which instead of Bruce saving a batkid in a different dimension, it's the other way around; Jason finds a very traumatized kid-version of his father-figure.
