Summary
It’s hard to say where it started. It might have started with a boy in a cupboard under the stairs. It might have started with a boy in an orphanage, lost and alone. It might even have started with two lovers and a dead girl.
But if you ask Harry, he’d say it started with the dragon.

Summary
“It wasn’t abstract, at least not the way Finn had half expected it to be based on the glimpses he’d gotten. It started at the small of Poe’s back with two overlapping X-wing schematics that almost looked like roots, the design flowing upward from there like a stem, spanning across Poe’s shoulders. On his left shoulder blade was a tree, or the idea of a tree, odd and beautiful. On the right was an A-wing, and along Poe’s spine where the two met, the lines melded together, seamless, one and the same.
It was amazing.”
-Ester_inc, “A-Wing, X-Wing, Y-Wait, B-Mine (Please).”
An interpretation of Poe's tattoo from ester_inc's fic "A-Wing, X-Wing, Y-Wait, B-Mine (Please)."

Summary
“The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”
“Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”
Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.
“You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”
“You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.
“No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”
Jason bluescreened.
(Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

Summary
Tim was patrolling a little too close to Crime Alley for his liking, but he would be careful.
Hood still hated and despised him, and the Bat clan wouldn't help him for anything. Tim wasn't one of them, had never been one of them, but that was ok. He accepted that.
Tim just had to be more aware of his surroundings tonight and make sure he got home in one piece. Easier said than done in Gotham, but he was Red Robin, and he could finish tonight's patrol without issue. And really, the chances of him running into Hood on a Friday night were slim to none...

One of my favorite "Jason realizes how fucked Tim is" fics. And one of my favorite "Jason realizes how much he, personally, fucked over Tim, and begins to try and make things better."

Summary
Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”
Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”
Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”
“FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

Beautiful, amazing, and one of the best in-character explanations I could see for a heel-turn on Damian's opinion of Tim. The albums? Chef's Kiss.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream into your pillow.

Bruce grunts, standing up. “Jenkins said the same. What about what you weren’t told?”
And without dissembling, Jason says, “I think they fucked that kid up, B.”
[Jack and Janet die. As things get weirder and weirder, it feels like Tim might be at the center of the unfolding conspiracy.]
