Summary
Jason lay sprawled on the floor of his apartment, his body betraying him with every shallow breath. He didn’t know what was happening, only that his system was failing, shutting down piece by piece, like his body had finally decided to give up on him. Tears burned his eyes as he cried, helpless, the sound swallowed by the silence of the room.
Anger twisted inside him, sharp as the wounds themselves. He hated himself for being so stubborn, for refusing to ask for help when he’d needed it most. Why couldn’t he have swallowed his pride? Why did he always push everyone away?
The helplessness was familiar, too familiar. It dragged him back to that warehouse floor years ago, the cold concrete beneath him, the certainty of death pressing down. He wanted to scream, to rage against it, but he couldn’t — because deep down he knew this feeling. He was going to die. -

Summary
Timothy’s body was nothing but a byproduct of violence and death. The pit healed his wounds but left scars that burned worse. He was ugly, he knew, but it hardly bothered him. Ugly things were real and permanent. They marred the world, left their mark wherever they went. It was not his ugliness that unnerved him. It was his simplistic mind that he was ashamed of.
His body was broken but his mind was carved empty. He’d been brilliant once, he was sure. Sometimes Ra’s told him stories of his past intelligence, of the times when he called him Detective. Timothy listened to those stories with childish envy, unable to comprehend how the person Ra’s spoke of with such pride had been him.
Sometimes, he thought the Bat might love him. Then he would remember that he wasn't the one he looked at with such soft eyes and he'd think of the Tim that the Bat wanted with such visceral hatred that he scared himself.
or
Timothy forgets. Ra's lies. His family is there for him, come hell or high water.

Intense, Desperate Loyalty by SecurityNotebook

Summary
They thought that Gotham was theirs to control?
Jason could see how they might, it was a clusterfuck of a city. He would know, he grew up in its streets, died at its hands, and when he’d been given another chance, he came right back. That was how messed up he was– how messed up Gotham made him. Jason could understand the idea that it was a place where someone could get away with centuries old plots of large scale political manipulation and corruption. But what they didn’t know, what they couldn’t know, was that for the kids, the workers, the people of this city who spent each day just trying to survive, the hardship built loyalty.
Intense, desperate loyalty.
So when the Court of Owls kidnaps Dick and very nearly succeeds in turning him into their Talon, Jason doesn’t just want justice or revenge. He was going to track them down one by one and show them exactly what happens when you try to mess with his family. -

Summary
With Gotham in a rare state of peace, one would think it would be time to relax and maybe enjoy it while it lasted. Bruce Wayne is not that person. Something is wrong in Gotham, and something is very wrong with Jason.
In summary: An old enemy from Jason's Robin days comes back to haunt Bruce and Jason.

Summary
Jason is alive. Has been alive. Sure, he may smell a little bit like death, but that's what happens when you die and come back. It's not like he's dead enough for a necromancer to make use of him.
...right?
