Summary
Little ficlets that I have partially written and may never finish; thought I'd just let them see the light of day. Mostly Jason-centric and mostly either fluff or angst or sometimes both.
Some examples:
+ AU where Jason rescues Damian from the League of Assassins and raises him outside Gotham
+ A Robin Reversal fic with a twist (now completed and posted on its own)
+ Dick discovers an adorable secret, Jason is a dad!
+ Strange happenings in the multiverse bring several Jasons from different worlds together
+ Dick and Barbara's daughter from an alternate dimension shows up in Gotham looking to save the future
+ Jason seems to be involved romantically with someone, Bruce wants to know who
+ No Capes AU where Bruce is still a hot messSeries

Summary
What if Damian is the oldest Robin? There's a lot that changes, but a lot that stays the same. They're still the chaotic, slightly dysfunctional family they've always been. Honestly, at this point, Bruce is just glad that Damian hasn't shown little Tim how to eviscerate someone with a katana.

Summary
After all the rage and thoughts of revenge dissipate, Jason comes to the realization that everything he had ever wanted to get out of life is still missing. Most days, he feels like he's closer to dead than alive and despite feeling better and getting closer to the family he knows that something has to give. Maybe tomorrow.
Misunderstandings are had, and Jason learns how to be okay again, but maybe not in the way anyone thought.

Summary
In another life, Jason finishes his training with Ducra and actually takes the time he needs to come to terms with what has happened to him. He comes back to Gotham, not with murderous intent, but with the goal to make sure that no Robin is ever killed again.
Basically, Jason protects the crap out of the Batkids while Bruce drives himself somewhat insane trying to figure out who the newest Gotham vigilante, Ghost, is.
Side Note: This is a standalone story, don't get turned off of it because of the series tag! :)

Summary
Jason never thought he'd be compared to Bruce, or even outdo him, in anything. It turns out that he does manage to outdo Bruce Wayne in one thing. Adopting lost children.
An AU where Jason runs off with a baby Damian and raises him in a happy and safe home along with many other children that he picks up along the way.
I cannot state enough that this is highly AU.
PS. This is a standalone story, don't get turned off by the series tag! :)
PPS. I have no idea how to end this story. I am genuinely stumped. If anyone has any ideas PLEASE TELL ME!!

If I Could Fix It by LERDM

Summary
She could fix it. She could fix everything. If it cost her soul, then so be it.
There's a new vigilante in Gotham, only it's not that simple. When Dick and Barbara's daughter from an alternate dimension comes to Gotham, the entire family is forced to reckon with a worst-case scenario.
Note: this is a re-imagining of a story titled "Mari" that I originally published under the collection of shorts "Welcome to the Family", hence why it is included in this series tag, but it is completely stand-alone. You do not have to have read the original to understand anything about this. Actually, I would discourage you read the first one because I've gotten so much better at writing, and the original is terrible in comparison.
