Summary
When Jason Todd died on that fateful April day, Bruce was tempted to just... stop. To let the world know he was Batman, and that it'd just lost a hero in Jason Todd.
And so he did.
It didn't keep him from mourning the death of his son.
Or: Bruce quits being Batman in the wake of Jason's death, tells the world who he is, then retires to Montana and slowly finds healing. And when Jason comes back to life six months later, and Talia tells him 'you remain unavenged,' he can't find any evidence to support that, so he goes home.

Based on an Instagram post:
Read a quote and it said, “My mom clapped so loud for me that I never noticed who didn’t.” And that’s the kind of mom I aspire to be.
Made me think of Martha Kent. -

Summary
Tim Drake has landed in an alternate universe and something is very wrong here. He needs to find a way home, but in the mean time everyone's hiding something from him, and he plans on getting to the bottom of it.
----
That’s where he’s waiting when he hears footsteps behind him. He doesn’t try to hide.
"If you do this, Master Tim, I fear you will be opening a can of worms that is much better left closed."
Tim turns and regards Alfred for a moment before letting out a tired sigh. "I have to know, Alfred."
"But why, sir? You will be going home, soon. Why does it matter?"
Tim shrugged. "I can't help it. I have to know. I'm a detective. It's how he raised me."
Alfred's smile is sad, his eyes suddenly damp. "No, my boy. I believe you came to us that way all on your own."

Summary
“I’m being serious, asshat,” Jason hisses, swatting his hands away from his face. “You have to tell me what year it is.”
Nightwing crosses his arms a little petulantly. “It’s 2017. Happy?”
Jason freezes, breath catching in his throat. 2017. Five years ago. He was…he was fifteen. “Shit,” he murmurs. He’s going to eviscerate Tim.
Or: Red Hood Jason and 15-year-old Jason swap timelines, landing one week before 15-year-old Jason is supposed to die.
