    Summary

    What exactly defines... "Monster"? And how does a human, blessed by Gotham and draped in her shadows, masquerading as a Beast borne of night, manage to tame not one, not two, but three?

    Summary

    "Just because you don't trust me—"

    "Why should I trust you, Hood?" Bruce said flatly. Like he was commenting on the weather. "You don't listen, you don't follow the plan, you're reckless and emotional and it—"

    "It what.”

    "It's going to get you killed. Again."

    "Is that what you think?" He whispered, so softly Dick almost didn't hear it. Bruce turned to face Jason. "World's greatest fuckin' detective, doesn't even know how his own kid died? I should've fucking realized."

    Summary

    This time, when he opened his eyes, he managed to keep them open long enough to register that he wasn’t in the Cave anymore, and that Bruce was sitting in the chair by the bed. Jason tried to move, and he could feel a hand in his.

    When he was thirteen, the sight of Bruce by his side, the feel of Bruce’s hand squeezing his own, when he woke up like this—it had made him feel warm and safe.

    Jason wasn’t thirteen anymore.

    Summary

    Some things couldn't be healed with time. Sometimes, someone had to make the first move.
    --
    "Look, the last thing Jason probably wants is for me to get involved between you two, but reasoning with you is like arguing with a brick wall, except the wall actually has its shit together."

    Bruce clenched his teeth together. "Do you have a point?"

    Summary

    Bruce is thrilled when his wayward son is willing to attend family events and start mending their relationship. He pulls out all the stops for a gala in Jason's honor... only for his Jaylad to arrive under the thumb of a threatening date - one who seems to know more than he should about the family.

    Meanwhile, Jason has returned to Crime Alley after shooting the Penguin, and the months of physical therapy to recover from Batman's 'discipline' afterwards. He is maintaining tentative alliances with the more tolerable bats, but when Dick begs him to attend a Wayne Gala, the Red Hood finds himself scrambling for a bodyguard. After all, who wants to spend an evening undercover making nice with the vigilante who put him in a hospital?

    Or: Jason is stuck with only a single henchman as backup for a 'family' event, but Bruce does not approve of his son's date.
