Summary
"Just to be clear. You're suggesting I bring Percy Grant to your fancy, high society soiree?"
"Most of those people are criminals and you know it," Sofia reminds him, but he does have a point. Sofia has crossed paths with Percy Grant precisely the once—when she held him at gunpoint and threatened to bury him alive if he ever tried to fuck around with Jason's inexplicable affection for him. Percy had taken it with cursing, bitching, and a lack of grace that bordered on suicidal. Sofia wouldn't call him the ideal party guest.
But Jason likes him. Somehow, despite the implicit and explicit threats to his life, Percy hasn't made any moves to leave. Jason hasn't made any moves to let him. Which means Sofia has to make adjustments. Allowances. Figure out how in the hell to account for a particularly mouthy and obnoxious blind spot, which begins, as many things do, with carefully controlled observation.
Jason is still watching her, justifiably wary. Sofia just smiles.
"Could be fun," she says.
***
Sofia and Percy try to figure each other out. Jason is also there.

Summary
"Fuck off," Jason says automatically. He digs a knuckle into his forehead, Percy watching all the while. "Listen. All I'm trying to say is if something's—if I fucked up, you have to tell me what to do—"
"Okay," Percy says easily. "Get on your knees."
Jason blinks and he's staring down at the ground. His kneecaps ache in a way that promises future bruises, because he hadn't been thinking about anything beyond the firmness in Percy's voice, how perfectly actionable the command itself was. Percy said Get on your knees and Jason's first and last thought had been to fucking drop. He has to crane his head up to look at Percy now, who's looking down at him with his head tilted to one side and lips tilted up with it, crooked canine sitting sweetly in his mouth.
"That was good," Percy says.
"Uh-huh," Jason says vaguely, and then, "You son of a bitch."
***
Sometimes, Jason likes being told what to do. Luckily, Percy likes telling him.

Summary
"I mean, we've got options," Percy says, undoubtedly sensing Jason's oncoming crisis. "Making out. That's always good. That's a classic. Two guys jerking each other off is another great one, for sure."
"For sure," Jason echoes, amused.
"Quit laughing," Percy says, pinching at Jason's bicep.
"I didn't even say anything," Jason says, still grinning.
"Whatever," Percy says, with a theatrical roll of his head against the pillow. "Moving on. Option three is. Well. Good old-fashioned carnal relations."
Jason's face is so warm it feels like it's about to melt off his skull. "Carnal relations," he echoes.
"I know," Percy says, making a face at himself. "I've been hanging out with you too much."
***
Jason has a few more new experiences.

Summary
"Shhh," Percy's saying, so quiet Jason can barely hear him. His thumb brushes against Jason's temple again, and there's the pressure, cracking and bursting like a bullet exploding from the barrel of a gun. Percy blurs and smears above. Hold on, Jason thinks, hold on. "Everything's gonna be fine, okay?" Jason watches as he swallows, hard, comes back into crystal clarity as he manages a shaky smile cast down Jason's way, for Jason's sake. "I've got you, Jay."
"I know," Jason says easily. Percy's smearing again, into a mess of light and shadow, but at least he's here. At least his fingers are somehow warm against Jason's already cooling skin, passing back and forth against Jason's forehead. "You know," he says. "It's not such a bad way to go."
Percy's face shakes into a haze, cracks open into the swirling streetlight glow. "Jason," he says simply, and his voice sounds thick, wet and sticky. "Jason, hey—"
Hold on, Jason thinks, hold on, but then even that slips away and there's nothing.
***
Jason Todd dies on the job. It's possible Percy Grant loses his shit a bit.

Summary
"Date night," Tim says again. Pictures Jason in full Red Hood get-up at some cutesy candlelit Italian bistro, holding hands over a plate of spaghetti. "Oh my God."
"I should have let you get blown up," Jason says, contemplative. "It builds character, you know."
Speaking of blowing up—"You almost let a bunch of teenagers pull a Riddler because you wanted to make kissy faces at your…" A pained, deliberating pause. "Uh. Partner?"
Jason lets out a long, disgruntled breath. "Boyfriend," he finally says, each syllable punching out of him reluctantly. "He's my boyfriend."
"Ohhh," Tim says, nodding slowly. Jason knuckles at his forehead. "That's cool." Another horrifically strained beat. "I have one of those too."
Jason glances up at him again, head slightly canted, before he finally says, "Oh shit, that's right. Dick mentioned something about that." He tilts his head a little more. "I didn't know you guys were, like. Still together."
***
Tim did not ask for Jason Fucking Todd to try to give him relationship advice and yet. Here they are.

Summary
The destination he has in mind is unclear — unnamed, yet, more accurately. Jason doesn’t know where he’s going, or what he’s going to do when he gets there. A few hours’ drive just didn’t seem far enough to be away from the expanse of Gotham, not when Bristol itself rolled out several miles around the city proper, so he cranked it up a few hours. Chicago seemed like a far enough place away, until he got onto I-80 and a terror seized him as he remembered Dick had spent a brief stint as an officer in Chicago. So he kept driving west.
Keeps. Keeps driving west. Jason Todd has no idea where he’s going or no idea what he’s going to do when he gets there, but he knows with certainty three things:
Jason Todd is a wanted man.
Jason Todd is the Red Hood.
And Jason Todd absolutely cannot go back home.
***
The one where Jason flees to Montana, hides from his family, and inadvertently finds another.

Summary
Jon can barely see the delivery man behind the massive bouquet spilling out of his arms. He doesn’t know much about flowers, but he can tell this arrangement is beautiful. And expensive. Red and black wild flowers sprout up between thorny roses, held together by a dark ribbon.
“I think you have the wrong house,” Jon says.
The delivery man turns and checks the number on their mailbox. “Nope. This is it.”
Jon is just wondering whether he has to contact the Justice League about this would-be stalker when Kon thunders down the stairs. “They’re for me!”
(Or: The Kents and Waynes find out that Tim’s love language is gift giving.
Kon isn’t a sugar baby. Really, he isn’t. He isn’t.)

Summary
“So, let me get this straight,” Dick said, frowning, “You stole a car, kidnapped Tim, got in a high-speed chase, stole another car, fought a bunch of cartel members, and blew up a chop shop...all to get a minivan back?”
“First of all, Timothy was a willing participant,” Jason said, crossing his arms, “And when you put it like that, it sounds bad.”
“Jason, it sounds bad no matter how I put it!”
