Summary
Jason did not intend to adopt a five-year-old, but sometimes you’re offered a dino-shaped chicken nugget by a lonely kid and you wind up traveling down the path least expected. While he has serious doubts that he’s going to be any good at this, he’s going to try. Jason is absolutely unintentionally following the Wayne family tradition, with the help of said family.

Summary
Jason Todd thought he was done with magic swords and defeating ancient evil, trading them out for firearms and taking on organized crime.
But his role as the “Chosen One” isn’t quite over.
The leader of the All-Caste turned lingering spirit Ducra sacrifices the remnants of her power to cure Jason’s friend and housemate Imogen "Mo" Evans from terminal cancer; the process binds the Soul Blade, the last of the All-Caste’s mystic weapons, to Mo. The surge of magic is felt throughout the world by the Acolytes of the End, the fragmented surviving servants who dedicated themselves to the Untitled in exchange for almost immortal lives. More worrisome to Jason and Mo, Mo’s five-year-old daughter Delaney seems to have latent magical talent that might be waking up.
With an unexpected actual future ahead of them, Jason and Mo partner up to figure out the way forward together as the supernatural world comes calling. Oh, and Constantine gets involved.
Alternate ending longfic for “For One So Small.”

Summary
The Bat Family interacts with their newest and youngest member, a five-year-old girl named Delaney who Jason has practically adopted.
Latest:
The sound of light footsteps, someone trying to be sneaky without yet having been taught to do so, was accompanied by the swish of a layered tulle tutu. Bruce glanced up as a curly chestnut ponytail disappeared behind the other side of the desk. In the doorway, Ace sat patiently, watching Alfred’s secret weapon as she made her way around the side of the desk.
Bruce pretended to still be engrossed in writing emails. It gave Delaney the chance to spring out and strike a pose.
“Surprise, it’s me!”
“Whoa,” Bruce said, leaning back in his chair, going through the motions of looking startled. “Where’d you come from, jellybean?”
“I snuck in through there,” she said, pointing back at the door and Ace. She skipped forward and leaned against the arm of his chair. “Whatcha doing, B?”

Summary
Imogen Evans is a 22-year-old registered nurse in Gotham thanks to an accelerated program funded by Wayne Enterprises for a city always in need of more medical staff. Imogen is overworked, stressed, avoiding her past, and recently found out she’s pregnant, but she’s got a roof over her head so that’s something.
Her already rather chaotic life gets turned upside down when Red Hood breaks into the clinic one night, bleeding and concussed and definitely in need of serious medical attention. It’s not long before certain bats and birds well-known in Gotham start showing up. And since Imogen took off Red Hood’s helmet so he could, you know, breathe, she happens to now know that Red Hood is Jason Todd, part of the Wayne family. And when you start comparing Waynes to vigilantes, things add up.
Imogen finds herself being absorbed into the Bat Family when they begin regularly visiting with minor wounds since she stocks lollipops and fun band-aids. Soon she starts spending time at the Wayne Manor, especially after patrols. Also, she and Jason keep circling each other, teasing and sarcastic and drawn together.
tl;dr : The Batfam gets a new medic, and Jason is accidentally falling for said medic.
