Summary
“If we lay low, no one will notice us,” Dick started, more for his own benefit than Jason’s. “As soon as airspace opens back up over Gotham, we hightail it out of here.”
Jason grunted. “And if they do notice us?”
Dick didn’t need to respond. They both knew the answer to that question.

Summary
"I kill so others don't have to," Bruce states firmly and clearly. This entire situation didn't seem like it could get any more bizarre, what with Bruce sitting in the dark and polishing guns, but somehow it just has, "While you are here you will not kill."
Jason's throat is scratchy and dry with terror, but the insatiable feeling of being talked over and disregarded is a fresh wound. He can't back down from this if he tried, "I've killed. I still kill. Who the fuck do you think you are to stop me?"
Bruce gently sets down his gun, and picks up the blade beside him with practised ease. Jason's blood runs cold when the man wearing his father's face says, "You will die by my hand if you try."
(Jason meets a version of Bruce who has manifested his fears very differently.)

Summary
“I’ve asked Hal to go with me. Are you going to be weird about it?”
“Why would I be weird about it?” Bruce says. He crosses his arms and just barely restrains himself from scowling. “Is it because there’s no one else available? I can move around my schedule if you’d like.”
For some reason, his son’s tendency to hang out with Hal Jordan is not one of the things Jason’s grown out of. It started out from one of Jason’s more creative ideas to annoy Bruce, way back in his early middle school days, but it has developed into—and it does annoy Bruce to admit this—a mutual friendship between the two of them.
“Unbelievable.” Jason’s face splits into a grin, one that usually means trouble. “You’re already weird about it.”
(Or: Bruce Wayne is not the most well-adjusted one in all of this. Hal Jordan will be the first one to tell you: "I told you so.")

Summary
"You're opening your wounds," she tells him. "It's going to hurt. But that's how the healing process starts. And you're doing a very good job of trying to heal."
I don't want to heal, Bruce thinks. I want Jason back.
He doesn't say that to her.
OR
Bruce goes to therapy after Jason's death. It works. Until it doesn't. And by that point, it's already far too late to stop anything he's done.

Summary
While trying to take down a drug cartel that deals with memory altering drugs, things go awry, and Batman wakes up with no recollection of the last five years.
As a result, his family must now race against time to find the antidote, while also having to deal with a Bruce who still thinks Jason is Robin. A Bruce who doesn't recognise most of them. A Bruce far less jaded and cynical than the one they're used to. A Bruce who still cares.- Language:

Summary
Batman decides to recruit some backup for work on a trafficking ring based in Havana, Cuba. He hadn't expected the case to be anything out of the ordinary, and he certainly hadn't expected Jason of all people volunteering to come help, but he learns that it's probably fair to say that we're all living in interesting times right now.
Or,
Through costumed vigilanteism, Hawaiian shirts, and corned beef dinners, Jason and Bruce rebuild a relationship a day at the beach at a time.(Request from kuro49, now with a podfic by Vodka112!)

Summary
“Trust us,” Dick said. “You do not need to do this. You do not need to choose this. If you were looking for permission,” he continued softly, gesturing at the gravestone behind them, “then you have it. You are free to let this go.”
“Be happy,” Damian finished, pushing out the words with much difficulty.
At the crossroads of choosing love or the cowl, a broken Bruce Wayne—not yet Batman, not fully, not quite—begs his dead parents for absolution.
In a twist of deus ex machina, the Robins witness this moment in time. They have a solution.

Summary
Steph, in a way, was much like Bruce. They were both children no one had asked for, begging and demanding that someone, who otherwise had nothing to do with them, take on the burden of wanting them.
Except she had been lucky; all of them were.
That in spite of everything, Steph had never wondered if wanting hands would catch her if she should fall.
So no, she will absolutely not hold back, nor will she even try to restrain the rest of the Wayne children who are equally ready to go to war for the man who took them in and called them his, regardless of the blood in their veins or what name they went by.
Because no matter the circumstances that led to a child's existence, they should never have to wonder if they will fall asleep safe and wake up loved.
Isn't that right, Alfred Pennyworth?

Summary
The kid seizes in pain, back bowing off the table, and lets out a choked sound, scrabbling at Vin’s wrist. He doesn't know what the hell the kid expected to happen, blowing a building up like that, but he wouldn't be talked out of it. Now he's got a hole in his belly and shrapnel lodged in his guts.
“Hell of a lot of blood in one body. Batman?”
“The explosion,” Vin grunts, wrapping the wound up tight. “Helped him rig the bomb myself.”

“What’s in there, anyway?” Charles asked, rolling down the window. “Looks heavy.”
“A few million dollars' worth of electroshock weapons,” the kid said, dead-serious. After a moment, a grin stretched across his face. “Nah, I’m just fucking with you. It’s old clothes, mostly.”

Dick has an incredulous, “What the fuck does that even-?!” bursting out of his mouth before he is quite rudely interrupted by a batarang rushing towards his rightfully confused face.

Summary
The League’s base is not built to welcome strangers.
Bruce is not a stranger.
He whips around another hidden corner, not bothering to try and silence the snap of his cape. There are no assassins waiting for him.
On the far side of the compound, another explosion echoes dully, Jason fulfilling his role with enthusiasm.
There will be bodies left behind when they leave this place. There is no time to dwell on it - Bruce compartmentalizes. It is easier than it might have been, some other time, some other mission.
He already found the room where Tim was being kept.
