Description:

Jason has a Lazarus Pit episode and can’t determine what memories real or fake. He calls Dick for help, and Dick ends up learning some disturbing things. Things sort of spiral from there.

Or: A series about Dick, Jason, and Tim working together to take down an abusive Batman, centered around the duality of truth and lies. Also, there are 0 reliable narrators here.

Notes:

This series is set Post-Crisis and I’m attempting to at least make the timeline and Bruce’s actions somewhat canon. But some artistic liberties are taken.

I’m publishing things in chronological order, which is also the recommended reading order, but…you can basically read the fics in any order you want.

General Warnings: Lazarus Pit side effects, struggles with memory, in-depth discussions of emotional and physical abuse, attempts to justify abuse. These warnings aren’t all-encompassing, but they’re the ones that are heavily-prevalent in the series and can’t really be escaped by skipping stuff.

Ages at the Beginning:
Dick - 27 (seems to have been 19 when Jason was 12)
Jason - 20 (debatable, but I’m doing my best). Mentally he’s 18ish.
Tim - 16 (Under the Red Hood was published after the comic with the 16th birthday test)
Damian - 10, but hasn’t been introduced (yet?)
