    Summary

    Bruce realises it then with a sudden startle, all the anger and frustration that had been building up over the last couple days freezing under his skin, blood cold.

    "You're trying to make me angry…" Bruce carefully says out loud, all the pieces of the puzzle finally coming together, watching the way Jason's shoulders tense at the shift in tone from angry to a calculative calmness, "On purpose?"

    Jason's previous expression, one filled with twisted amusement at Bruce's apparent annoyance is immediately replaced with something tragic. His blue eyes grow wide and fearful, and Bruce watches in delayed understanding as the boy takes a fearful step back.

    (Jason's change in behavior is cause for concern. Fortunately, Bruce is a pretty good detective — most of the time.)

    Tales from Wayne Manor: Jaybin.

    This is just a sweet excerpt from Jason’s early(ish) days at the Manor. AMAZING characterisation and there’s some subtle Red Hood foreshadowing as well but not too much. I liked this. 🥰

    11/10.

    “No,” Bruce agrees, leaning down and smiling into the crown of Jason's head, curly hair tickling his nose, “You're not trouble.”

     

    You'll never be, not to me.

    Summary

    Catherine catches his trembling eyes with her own tentative look, “Are you okay?”

    “Am I okay? I just got a beautiful baby boy and a beautiful wife all on the same day,” Willis stands to his feet, grinning at her with all the hope in the world despite the evening darkness that settles across the small kitchen, “I'm feeling pretty fucking great, sweetheart.”

    (The first time Catherine meets Jason Todd is in Willis Todd's kitchen.)

    THIS is Jason’s family.
    The perfect version of young Catherine (Johnson?) and Willis Todd. I genuinely love this. This is how I see them being like, before things got hard.

    11/10.
    This was perfect. 🧡

    Summary

    “My panic’s at the ceiling, but I’m face down on the carpet.”
    Quivering | Dream Journal | Phobia
    _______

    Tim hates goodbyes.

    He should be used to them, should be old enough to accept that sometimes people are going to leave and that sometimes you can do nothing to stop the hole that burns through your chest when they do. The worst part, he thinks, is that once upon a time, he was used to them. He was used to the hollow feeling, used to the resentment, used to the ache.

    Then he met Jason.

    “… this is a good lie… isn’t it?”

     

    I cried.
    What the heck.
    Very well written.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    That moment when you suddenly realise that you don’t really want to be alone… you want your family, friends, someone… ANYONE to hold you through the pain.

    But you have no one to call, because all of your bridges were burnt to ashes.
    And you have absolutely no one to blame for it other than yourself.
    So you die alone.
    Again.

     

    10/10.
