    Summary

    “Gotham's got a firm grip, don’t she? Seems like everyone who ever gets out always makes their way back eventually."

    “I never wanted to leave,” Jason said. "Traveled the whole world the past few years, all I ever wanted was to be right back here.”

    Jason Todd has spent the bulk of the last seven years imprisoned, insane, dead, or wishing he was. For the first time since he chased Joker into Arkham, his life is standing still. Things are (weirdly) good with Bruce. Roy is amazing. Joker is dead. So, there's no time like the present to upend it all and return to the city that broke him in the first place. Sure, Gotham's an unmapped minefield of his worst triggers, a vicious hellhole with a quick temper and a wicked mean streak, but she's Jason's hellhole. And if he's obscenely, unreasonably lucky, he might come out of it with a home, a family, and a chance to be a hero again.

    That's worth the risk. Right?

    (This works as a direct sequel to You Wouldn't Even Recognize Me Anymore and Can I Help You Not To Hurt Anymore? You'll probably have a better time if you read those first, especially the former, but I won't tell you how to live your life.)

    Summary

    It takes a second, but the realization Jason comes to is horrifying.
    “You dosed yourself. With Joker venom.”
    Tim nods, still smiling, still shivering. At least the laughter has tapered off, not that that really makes this better, not that anything could make this better.
