all my closets of backlogged dreams (and how you left them all to me) (G, 3k) - By all accounts, how UTRH should have gone if Bruce were a parent to Jason instead of Batman
Hearth and Home (G, 1.5k) - Jason gets a minor dose of fear toxin & talks to Dick
Prologue, Redux (T, 4.6k) - At two point in his life, Jason visits Gotham University with Bruce
door, opening (M, 110k, Graphic Depictions of Violence) - the Dick & Jason fic of all time!! If you enjoy them having a horribly complex but also deeply loving relationship, this is the fic. It's so afkskgsfjajf you know?
MISSED TARGETS. (T, 2.3k) - Jason and learning to handle a gun; as Robin and as Red Hood
The Drag of Fate (T, 13.3k) - Jason is Shiva's kid AU where Jason & Cass go on a sibling road trip to get answers
What Eurydice Felt (T, 3k) - Orpheus & Eurydice retelling with Bruce, then Dick, as Orpheus and Jason as Eurydice. Honestly very much a favorite, as is its companion piece that's in my Dick fic list.
Safe Space (G, 4.5k) - Jason & Bruce are not on the same page about who's supposed to be taking care of who in this arrangement
citrusy sweetness (T, 2.7k) - Jason & Dick & peeling oranges as a love language
The Cardboard Box (T, 4.7k) - the story of some of the other contents of Jason's box of papers from DitF. It's also one of my favorite Willis fics of all time
miracle (T, 3k) - Catherine-centric fic about Jason's early years. A very sweet look at the Todd family
inclement weather (T, 5k) - Willis-centric fic about a sliver in time when things weren't too bad yet. Also briefly guest-starring a young Cassandra Cain
Hope is the Thing with Feathers (T, 13k) - In which Jaybin gains time travel powers & Dick is always his destination. Has a really interesting disjointed chronology. One of my all-time favorite Dick & Jason fics 💜
sentimental (T, 2k) - Dick calls Jason while drunk with the Titans and they have a conversation about names & legacy (but like. In a slightly unserious way. Dick is very much plastered. It's sweet though)

two birds on a wire (T, 6.5k) - Jason gets in trouble at school, Dick picks him up, they (eventually) talk
Parallel lines (T, 15.8k) - follow-up to Batman: The Cult!!! You know that if The Cult fics are out there, I'm gonna find them, this should be expected. Anyway the second chapter is alright but the first chapter is where the The Cult stuff is :)
Take Two (T, 4.2k) - Jason kills the Joker. It works out okay for him.
Flatline (T, 8.9k) - Jason gets injected with a drug that slows his body to the point he appears dead. He has to witness his family being convinced that he's dead, then fighting to save him once they realize he's not.
Back to Back (T, 11.5k) - Dick and Jason carrying each other to safety a lifetime apart. Really sweet brotherly feels & also they're both very injured both times if you're into whump.
wretched little recipes (T, 2.6k) - Jason triggers himself repeatedly searching for a sense of control, because as long as he's hurting himself, no one else can.
Grave Pretender (T, 4k) - Jason forgoes his elaborate revenge scheme in favor of being a petty drama queen, then gives up on even that to just go home.
things that make it warm (T, 4k) - Dick & Jason hang out, and Jason reflects on how much he loves his brother.
Under the Bridge (G, 29.5k) - A minor investigation spirals into something much worse when an enemy from Bruce & Jason's past resurfaces
Ricochet (Or, The Side Effects of Bring a Bibliophile) (Not Rated, 49.6k) - In which Jason joins a book club, lights his life on fire, has to deal with everyone else adding gasoline to his on-fire life, and eventually managing to put it out. Everyone just kinda sucks in this, it's great :)
I will leave the water like someone about to forgive (T, 10k) - Jason gets transported back in time to a few weeks before he died and attempts to save himself. Whatever magic brought him there disagrees with this plan.
Recollect, re-collect (T, 94.4k) - Jason gets hit with a spell gone awry and gets an opportunity to reflect on Robin, legacy, family, and what it all means to him.
Meaning (from the back of my broken hand) (M, 1.7k) - Dick finds Jason at an unexpected grave on Mother's Day
Bats in the Belfry (T, 5.7k) - In a time loop that isn't actually a time loop, Jason picks up the ghost of Dick Grayson hitchhiking on the side of the highway every night

jigsaw falling (into place) (T, 7.6k) - Jason hears a rumor that the Bat is out of commission - he's been magically blinded. He decides to scope out the situation himself
The Bruce-mood (T, 47k) - Thanks to a stupid bet with Dick, Jason realizes that he has a secret weapon against Bruce: hugs.
A Better Choice (T, 18k) - A very canon-compliant Jason Lives AU of DitF featuring Dick Grayson hopped up on more Dayquil than is probably healthy
