Summary
After Jason Todd’s death, Gotham gathers to mourn him.
Or:
On the day of his son’s funeral, Bruce allows himself exactly one day to mourn Jason: the boy he loved, the partner he failed, and the Robin he cannot separate from either.
Tomorrow, he will bury that grief beneath the cape and return to the work.

Summary
A love letter to Gotham’s background crowds, panel fillers, damsels in distress, 9-to-5-ers, night shift workers, window washers, gym rats, subway conductors, lawyers, Bat Burger line cooks, doctors, middle school students, parishioners, pensioners, pedestrians, unionized henchmen, electricians, loansharks (sometimes literal), college dropouts, band groupies, stay-at-home dads, nannies, finance bros, and future Boy Wonders -- all nine million, four hundred sixty-seven thousand, nine hundred and four of them in the Gotham City metropolitan area.

Summary
Dick Grayson is a resilient man. He can take beating after beating and still get up and finish a fight. But after the patrol he's had, all he wants to do his go home and rest, but the universe has other plans.
---------------------------
Warm cedar and brown sugar.
Bruce.
He flinched at it, and tears suddenly filled his eyes for reasons he couldn’t even name. He took another deep breath and the tears spilled down his cheeks as he held Zitka close.
He didn’t miss Bruce…did he?
----------------------------
“God, I’m so angry at you!” Dick laughed, voice manic as he tossed his phone beside him on the concrete, on speaker, and brushed a hand wildly through his hair. “It’s always Jason this, Jason that’. Do I just not matter to you anymore? Did I ever? I don’t speak to you for months. Months Bruce! And you still have the audacity to ask about him first thing before even asking how I’m doing when I finally want to talk to you. Do you even understand how fucked up that is? How bad that hurts?"

Summary
When Jack Drake’s business trip gets canceled, he is forced to stay at home while the legal kinks get worked out. He’s not used to having a teenager underfoot, so it’s only rational that he’s a little snappish around Tim. At least, that’s what Tim tells himself each time his dad’s idea of discipline gets harsher.
Bruce had told him to take a break from Robin in order to spend some time at home with his dad, and Tim can’t say no to that. He knows Bruce is probably glad to be rid of him for a short while.
And he can handle discipline. This is a Tim Drake problem, not a Robin problem anyway. There’s no need for Bruce to know anything.
Things get a little muddled when an injured Jason Todd crawls through his bedroom window.

Summary
He corrals them out of sight and into a cab, by repeating the murmured It’s fine we are OK like a mantra and doesn’t let go of Bruce’s hand as they walk up towards the imposing shadow of Wayne Manor. He rarely takes this path by foot, especially nowadays, but tonight he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Bruce to trudge on alone.
Jason and Bruce get cornered by a mugger one night, at an alley. Jason thinks they are fine, until Bruce collapses behind him, and they deal with the aftermath when they are both feeling more than a little raw.
Alternatively, Jason guards Bruce as fiercely as Bruce guards Jason.
