AU where the real reason Damian has a grudge against non-blood brothers is because a long time ago Talia told him Jason was his brother and Damian loved him for that but then Jason "abandoned" him (left the League and seemingly forgot about him) and Damian has been holding a grudge ever since

Meanwhile Jason either (a) lost his memories of his time in the League prior to being dunked in the pit, or (b) he just believes that Damian had been too young at the time to remember and so he doesn't bother bringing it up

I pinky swear I AM writing the next chapter of TTTAS. It's just going a little slower. And it's from Jason's POV as voted.

But here's a little teaser for everyone.

"Jason Todd is 14 years old when he dies. 

He is 14 years old when he wakes up in his own coffin 2 weeks later due to a hiccup in the time stream that caused his resurrection. And he is 14 years old when he has to claw his way out of his own coffin, choking and crying until he reaches air where a hand grabs his and helps pull him from the graveyard soil. "

Jason, however, seems very interested in the fancy stem glasses that Alfred has set out. “I should help Alfie set the table–” “Sit down,” say Bruce and Talia together before looking at each other with disdain. “I’m sure you’re aware of the inheritance laws in the League,” says Talia casually, examining her nails. Bruce stares. “You’re not serious–” “You will find that I rarely joke about things Bruce,” she says and Steph knows they’re all watching with rapt attention. In the past, Talia never referred to Bruce by name. So what on earth had happened–

A mission with the Outlaws makes Jason relive his worst nightmares. But in the aftermath, he finds his family again.

...I honestly don't feel right reading this fic without reading Red Hood and the Outlaws...and then I don't feel right about reading that without reading well all of Jason's backstory BEFORE the Outlaws since that's so core to his story

And it's such a long story...

Jason’s throat dried up.

Damian looked so much like Talia that it hurts.

His vision swims as ambe—no, jade eyes pinned Jason where he stands on the tiled floors of the palatial al Ghul compound, a mixture of gentle warmth and visceral disgust in its depths.

Strategically placed raven locks begins the look, the scent of amla transporting him to the time Talia’s soft caresses massaging jasmine oil into his messy midnight strands so that his hair will be healthy and strong, like Hephaestion, Alexander the Great’s dear friend.

The cherry red dress provides a perfect contrast to the caramel skin dusted with sun kissed specks. It reminds him of the arms that freely offered a safe space for him to break down and sob noisily about the Replacement.

nightwing being hurt in the field, and over comms he can’t get out what was wrong, nearly in shock, and jason puts on his best batman™️ voice and says “robin, report.”

and it snaps dick out of it enough to say concussion, possible broken ribs, and a gash in his side.

no one talks about it, and then a year later, damian does the same thing to tim

arcade night 🕹️🦇

Rich pregnant socialite: So we went to this clinic and let them manipulate our genes so we're 100% sure our child won't have any disease, he will have my hair and his father eyes and so much things we did for him! And you Bruce ?

Brucie: Found em in the trash. Except Tim, he found me in the trash.

Family tradition 🥰🥰🥰

Another reason why I’m a firm believer in letting Bruce get old is because the idea of him looking and his dark haired children without his glasses on and genuinely not being able to tell them apart is unparalleled

I've started writing the next chapter of TTTAS from Jason's POV (as requested by popular vote) and y'all im so excited. Misunderstandings abound. This one's gonna hurt babes.

I think it’d be funny if Dick and Jason, due to wearing bright yellow capes on the job for years, are capable of stealth to a frankly unhinged degree. They barely have to try anymore it’s so second nature. Dick can just completely disappear while in the loudest neon clothes imaginable. Jason is constantly startling people who don’t understand how they missed a guy the size of a fridge standing right there. Bruce is extremely grateful for his unbreakable poker face because they have both startled him by accident and would never ever let him live it down if they knew.

the man the myth the legend

(he was gonna straight up shoot a guy)

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned. Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner. 11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi! Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--? Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?

Batman: This is Robin. 12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!! Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What?? Jason: I stole his tires :) Batman: Tried to. Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did. Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??

Batman: This is Robin. 14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello Flash: Where do you even find these-- Tim: I found myself.

Batman: This is Robin. 17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!! Superman: I give up. Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.

Batman: This is Robin. 13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there: Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?! Batman: ... he came with the sword.
