Summary
They’d come this far by setting aside this one irreconcilable point between them, not by actually resolving it. The fact that they’d had a longer than usual stretch since Joker’s last successful escape was the only thing that had made that possible.
Eventually, something would have to break, but neither of them were ready to concede to the inevitability of the other’s position.
Then the alert came through. Arkham breakout.

Summary
Stephanie wasn’t scared of Hood—Jason. Obviously.
She was…
Well.
She didn’t intimidate easily. If she did, Batman’s black disapproval would’ve been enough to put her off cape work long before now.
(Part of a series, but can be easily read as a standalone oneshot.)
For Whumptober Day 20: "That's new." and Symptomatic.

Summary
Time seemed to slow. A series of snapshots, separate and distinct.
Jason was bringing his own gun to bear. He was fast, and on a stable surface.
A sound. Not the familiar crack of a rifle.
Something flying toward him.
Spear gun.
(Part of a series but can easily be read independently.)

Summary
He'd been a tourniquet for an open wound, keeping Bruce from bleeding out.
But the thing about tourniquets is that they’re meant to be temporary. An urgent solution for a dire problem, and one that can cause issues of its own, especially if applied too long.
Anyway. Tim had been thinking about them lately. Tourniquets.

Summary
Tim woke with a desperate heave, like surfacing after a long dive.
He couldn’t remember what the dream had been, this time. He didn’t need to. They were all variations on the same theme, these days.
