- Red Raven – PlotlessWanderer (M, 237k, inc) The sky cracks, whistles. Shouts and music blare from the house. Jason laughs and snags the bottle of port from the snow, lifting it over his head like a toast as fireworks spark in the sky. They’re in a bad spot, only able to see the bare edge of the display, but the colors of the fireworks sparkle in the cracks of the pond, over the cleanest patches of the dirty piles of snow. Jason upends the bottle, adding more color, laughing uproariously as he spins in a circle before dropping it and raising both middle fingers to the sky. // “Happy fucking new year!” He howls. // And Tim laughs. // (Or; A different meeting in a different time and place has enormous consequences)

- Blood in the Water – MichaBerry (T, 181k) We all do stupid things when we are lonely, and in faraway lands, we hardly expect the consequences to follow us.

- Chirp – AmariT (G, 159k, inc) Every piece of the signal Tim unlocked revealed more locks, and by the time he broke through the last one, he was already mentally rehearsing his many upcoming talk show appearances. 'Yes,' he told the interviewer, 'it was difficult for me, a ten-year-old genius, to break open the worldwide alien conspiracy. That's why it took a whole hour.' When the crackling audio started, he expected some weird alien language. Maybe squawks and high-pitched squeals mixed with musical woofs. Maybe they wouldn't talk at all, and images would beam directly into his mind. Maybe they'd talk in practiced English with a Midwestern drawl like their other resident alien. Instead he heard a low, guttural voice growling out of his computer speakers. "Robin," it said. "Are you in position?"

- Red Robin Hood – candlebreak (M, 118k, inc) Jason’s rage this time around is a little less focused on Tim for being Robin, and a little more focused on Bruce for letting Tim be Robin. He vows to make Bruce regret ever allowing anyone to put on that mantle in the first place. So if he nabs a few batbrats and makes Bruce think he's torturing them to death? Well, that’s just killing two birds with one stone: Bruce doesn’t get to have a Robin, and he gets to be tormented by the knowledge of his absolute failure to protect any of them. Win-win. (Or lose, if you’re Bruce). Except now Jason has a small and growing collection of Robins, and no idea what he’s supposed to do with them.

When a new case finds its way into Tim’s hands, he’s determined to solve it alone.

And he'll be damned if he doesn't find a way home to his actual partner before he manages to impale himself on his own cowl or something equally ridiculous. Honestly.
- All The Roofs of Uncertainty – Kieron_ODuibhir (G, 70k) For all the blood on his hands, Red Hood was never just a villain. And Nightwing never gives up on family, not for good. (Or: The one where Dick bleeds a lot and Jason argues with everybody.)

- Spill of the War – 2012bookworm (series, N, 64k) It takes a second, but the realization Jason comes to is horrifying. // “You dosed yourself.
