Summary
Jason Todd goes to Titan's Tower to send a message. He won’t kill Robin there, no—that wouldn’t be poetic enough. Instead, he’ll torture the cuckoo to death and dump his body in the Nevada desert, never to be found—ensuring he has enough fingers and toes to mail Bruce for the next twenty years.
Only when the time comes, Jason…can’t do it.
Now he’s stranded 3,000 miles from Gotham with nothing but a smart-mouthed Robin, a beat-up pickup truck, and a dream.
You know what they say: take me home, country roads.
Or,
Jason goes to Titans Tower to attack Tim. Instead, the two road-trip across the country from San Francisco back to Gotham. Featuring greasy diner food, shitty motels, talks about trauma in the bed of a pickup truck, and as many metaphors about roads as I can possibly cram in here. And stars, for some reason.
OR OR,
Jason drives forever and ends up exactly where he started.

Summary
Jason Todd knows he doesn't get second chances. Those are saved for parents who love you, brothers who want you, and a universe that is not indifferent to your suffering.
But then—something bizarre happens.
After scrapping with a Mage, Jason wakes up feeling...weird.
What does he do? Goes to the smartest person he knows: Tim Drake
There's only one problem: Tim Drake is...seven?
Things just got really complicated.
Or,
Jason Todd is transported to a universe where Bruce is a good dad, Dick is a good brother, and Tim is seven years old—and needs a babysitter.

Summary
Jason was a lot of things. He was an outlaw, a former Robin, a victim, a hero, a problem, but more importantly, he was a dumbass.
Capital D, capital U, capital M… you get the point.
Sometimes, he could forget how much of a dumbass he was. Sometimes, he got lucky and passed the luck off as skill and forward thinking. Other times, he was forced to face the cold hard truth that his brain had been jostled one too many times in his youth. Like now.
—
Jason's working a case that deals with the worse of humanity. No leads, no one willing to speak, and a push to do things Bruce's way is making it hard to make any progress. Luckily, someone took mercy on him and left a file in his apartment with detailed information. Unfortunately, the person who left the file comes back weeks later to bleed on his floor.If the blood loss doesn't kill Tim Drake, Jason's going to.

Summary
Tim's dad is dead, killed by a boomerang to the chest, and Tim is an orphan now. He knows Bruce would adopt him if needed but he couldn't possibly impose himself on the Wayne's more than he already has. It's okay though, because he has a plan for this, he just needs someone to play the role of his estranged "Uncle Eddie".
Except... the guy he hires is weirdly concerned about his well being and Tim can't figure out why.
Meanwhile, Jason Todd is forced to reevaluate his plans for his debut as Red Hood, because, as it turns out, his replacement is a suicidal idiot who can't be trusted to stay out of trouble.
OR
Tim Drake fails to recognize Jason Todd, back from the dead, and hires him to be his Uncle Eddie to avoid getting adopted by Batman. Somehow this ruins everyone's plans.

This is literally so good.
They’re out here playing 4d chess with each other, knowing about each other’s identities and then not realizing the other knows they know and OHHH.
So cute. I. They all reunited and Tim’s got a family. I’m emotional

Summary
Harley has rung in every new year since moving to New York with a kiss. He doesn't consider himself superstitious (maybe just a pinch stitious) but the tradition has been working for him and that's reason enough to keep it alive... even if Peter is the only one around and the clock is ticking down the few remaining seconds til the new year.
