Summary
When Talia and Cheshire start a civil war against Ra's, they send Damian and Lian to safety with the one bodyguard they can trust: Jason Todd. Jason and his charges set up house in a small New Zealand town, and try to figure out civilian life together. They find more of a home -- and a family -- than they ever expected. Jason just can't let himself forget that this is temporary.
“Slow down, Daniel!”
Damian stopped just in time to avoid colliding with a white-haired woman by the lettuce. She jumped back, and Jason held up his hands.
“So sorry, ma’am! He gets a little too enthusiastic sometimes. You alright? Daniel, what do you say?”
“Sorry, ma’am,” Damian muttered, staring at the floor.
She took in their little trio. The tiny menace with the grocery cart, Lian drooling happily down the shoulder of Jason’s cheap t-shirt, his own frazzled expression, and her face softened. “She’ll be alright, sweetheart, just look where you’re going next time, ay?”Series

Summary
Jason, Roy, and Lian follow Damian to Gotham, and set up a household in Crime Alley. Jason's determined to make the city safer for his kids, Roy's trying to figure out life as a new parent, and the Bats are just trying to figure out where Jason is and why he won't come home.
a.k.a. the JayRoy coparenting sequel.
Gotham had welcomed him back with a shriek of sirens and the rumble of machinery. Dying and his dip in the Pit had stolen many memories, and Jason hadn’t realized until now that one of them must have been how it felt to be in Gotham. He had forgotten how alive the city was, the hum of life and grief beneath his boots. She was a stubborn, bloody bitch of a matriarch, and he would almost swear he heard her as they crossed the city limits.
Welcome home, my little bird. You’ve been gone too long.Series

Summary
Roy and Jason have to reassess their living arrangements when Bruce agrees to shared custody of Damian. Together, they navigate changes to their household, and ripple effects from Talia's victories in the LoA.
And maybe, finally, admit their feelings for each other.~
“You were the first person to trust me, you know?” Roy said abruptly. “You’re a paranoid bastard at the best of times, and you trusted me to be a man and do my best with her, as long as I stayed clean. We’ll both do things the best way we know how, yeah? For all of us.”
He shifted his hips, rolling to face Jason and Lian. “We’re not doing any of it alone, Jay.”Series
