    Summary

    Bruce gets to experience the wonder years of toddlerhood with a son he’s already failed once before. He’s determined not to do it again.

    Meanwhile, Dick is planning Jason’s future career in football, Tim is being force-fed soggy snacks from sticky toddler hands, Damian is already trying to teach Jason to read and tie his shoes, and Cass has become the champion of older sisters everywhere. Stephanie is very busy taking pictures for a commemorative album, of course. It’s totally not blackmail at all, Tim, c'mon, but yes obviously she'll share.

    Or, the one where Jason makes a mysterious wish and ends up a toddler and maybe quite possibly and inadvertently brings his family back together. Maybe the real bonding experience was all the baby proofing we did along the way.

    Summary

    Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
    The house he grew up in.
    Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
    He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
    What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
    He wonders if they can see it.

    or

    Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?

    Summary

    Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.

    She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.

    “Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.

    “You long to go back.”

    “Yes.”

    “For a different outcome.”

    Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”

    “I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”

     

    Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.
