What if he resorts very unhealthy means to somehow hold his life together?
Starting in the summer after OOTP.This is a story of pain, depression, desperation and angst; but also of healing, recovery, friendship and finding unexpected support and hope.

“I need this.” Harry finally said, looking up at the man with watery eyes. “You don’t know what it’s like. It’s all crushing down on me, drowning me. I … I can’t. I …” he squeezed his eyes shut to halt the tears from falling. “I know, ok? I’m not an idiot. I know that this is not good, and not healthy, and that the Boy Who Lived should not to this. But I can’t stop it. I need this!” he pleaded with the man to understand. One person, there had to be one bloody person in this stupid castle who understood. This was the only way he could function - and he had to function because he could not let anybody else die or be harmed in any way.

Summary
Leslie sits them both down in her office immediately after they arrive. “I’m not going to mince words,” she says as soon as they’re settled. “Jason, your blood test results came back. I’m sorry. You’re HIV-positive.”
Time stops moving.
Leslie, ever the professional, plows right on before the bombshell has had time to settle. Jason doesn’t need her to explain what HIV is to him. He’s well aware. He’s watched and read depictions of the illness before, in novels and musicals, most of them tragedies because sickness always ends in tragedy. Like terminal cancer, or an oncoming train while you’re stuck in the middle of the tracks. No escape. No happy endings.

Summary
“You got a pen?”
Tim blinked owlishly before scrambling to grab a pen from his book bag, as if terrified Jason would change his mind in the 6 seconds he took to search. He held it out to Jason who snatched it right out of his hands.
“If we do this, we’re doing it right. You got that, Richie?" Jason snarled. "When I sign this you’re my kid!”
“I don’t do things in half measures. I’m gonna be there for every PTA meeting, every club invite, every fucking carpool you understand? I don’t need some white bread, pearl clutching bitch telling me I’m a shitty Guardian just ‘cause I didn’t ask for this.”
---
The only thing worse than crawling out of your own grave to find your father had replaced you with the first black haired, blue eyed preteen he could find, is said replacement begging you to sign emergency foster papers... except maybe you signing said papers and having to learn how to be a parent on the fly... Fuck it, he couldn't do any worse than Bruce.

“Why can’t you look at me?” Jason asks, voice barely a whisper.

Summary
Jason Todd was kidnapped at nine-years-old and given two options. Work for his keep, or be forced to to work for his keep.
His life was not pleasant, but Jason was nothing if not a fighter, and dammit if was he going to let the hell around him kill who he was as a person. Or his dreams of growing up and going to college.
Those dreams suddenly came a little more into focus, when his idiot of a pimp accidentally tried to rent him to Bruce Wayne. Poor bastard could have never guessed he was the Batman himself. Heck, not even Jason figured that out, at first. And Batman had practically adopted him.

Summary
A young version of Jason Todd gets time displaced and dropped into the Batcave. Wide-eyed, loudmouthed, and still soft enough to believe the world won’t eat him alive.
He thinks seeing his future self is cool. He thinks the grey hair is funny. He thinks the tension in the room is nothing a joke can’t fix.
Then he notices the guns.
When he demands answers, Jason gives them to him—every ugly piece, every shard of the truth no one else wants spoken out loud.
Sometimes the past comes calling. And sometimes it looks you in the eyes and says it never wants to grow into the monster you’ve become.
“Yeah.” Jason murmurs. “I didn’t want to be me either.”

Jason is sad

Summary
Jason just wanted to watch his brother's back on patrol. Sure, it wasn't what he had originally planned-- but if Dick/Nightwing was going to go out and punch criminals with Batman, then he wanted to help (not that he didn't trust Bruce it's just... Jason worried).
That was the plan. Just to shadow the two. And it was going well! It really, really was.
Jason just had ruin it.

Dick Grayson was nabbed on his drive home from work. He easily could have escaped his captors, but not without drawing suspicion to his nightlife. Forced to play along with his kidnapping, Dick ended up being auctioned off to the highest bidder who just so happened to be the mysterious and terrifying Red Hood himself. Can Dick escape from the Hood? And what does he want with a civilian cop anyway? Unless somehow... he knows Dick's secret identity.

Summary
Slade Wilson was a lot of things: Deathstroke, a renowned mercenary, assassin, master tactician, a perpetual thorn in the Bat’s ass; but if there were some things he was not, it was tolerant of tardiness,
and a fucking nursemaid
“Get the hell up,” Slade ground out, slapping his employer’s face, being mindful of the vomit smeared on half of it, dripping from his chin. The motion revealed the heat radiating off the boy. The Arkham Knight remained motionless from where he was lying in a pool of his own piss and vomit. Dead to the world. His slow pulse indicated he was sick and wouldn’t be cognizant for an indeterminate amount of time. Slade followed the breathing exercises drilled into his head from his military days, trying to quell the anger. He had dealt with worse than parasuicidal contractors. But the act just made the reek of acid and rot pervade his sinuses - doing nothing to help his temper. -

Summary
Benched from Robin while Bruce is away on W.E. business, Tim fully intends to follow orders this time…until he discovers that the Red Hood is MIA.
And sure, maybe Hood is at the top of the list of reasons why Bruce doesn't want Robin patrolling solo right now. Maybe Jason's murderous loathing for Tim makes him the worst potential candidate for what he's determined is a rescue mission…but Tim's the only help available, so help he will. And who knows? Maybe he can find a way to bring Jason back home along the way.
It's just a quick, easy extraction mission.
Spoiler alert: it goes wrong.

He’s fine.
It’s— It’s going to be okay, everything’s fine, he just needs to breathe.
He sits facing the fire escape, pressed up hard against the HVAC unit behind him, trying to ignore the way his skin tingles and the bruises on his hips throb.
Jason swallows, wraps his arms around his knees and breathes, long and slow.
