Dick Grayson And Jason Todd - Tumblr Posts
have a badly formatted comic
Had the mental image of Dick with two injured arms getting a mug down with his foot. Had to doodle it.
might make a more polished version at some point
messy sketch of Dick and Jason
when you’re trying to get your brother to medical attention but he keeps flagging down every passerby to take a photo (how is he the one getting blackmail material in this situation???)
sorta follow up for a sketch I did of Dick carrying Jason
Thinking about a Jason Todd priest au in which after he is thrown in the Lazarus pit, tries to kill Tim and then the Lazarus rage calms down rather than become a crime lord he decides to turn to the church and become a Catholic priest. And part of his journey he decides to separate himself from the batfam and vigilantism for his mental health and stuff. The batfam by this point has realized he's alive and tries to get him back, not into the life but just into the family again. He makes a point not to interact with them in their civilian form (doesn't wanna be in the public eye and they are literally public figures) or in their vigilante form. He also doesn't talk to Talia because interacting with the league of assassins is kind of looking for trouble.
The family still wants to contact him tho so they make it a point to attend church every Sunday so that they can sit in the confession booth and talk to him. They don't say things like "hi Jason" because they know he wouldn't like that they used the confession box to talk to him. So they sit there and talk about their day. About what they've been up to, their regrets after he died, how much they love and miss him, and overall try to give him a sense that hes back in the family without having to rejoin that life.
It isn't just the batfam either, Talia comes by every once in a while, she makes a point to check up on her boys (Damian and Jason) because Jason is her son. She stops by and talks about how Damian is doing, how she is doing, asks questions about the church and confesses some of the things going on in the world that she thinks Jason would like to hear.
How do they know if Jason is the one listening? They just do because they other priests don't let out a soft chuckle when they make a joke about their injuries, and they certainly don't let them stay in the box for extra time. And they of course, can recognize Jason's voice from the other end no matter what. (Jason may or may not have slipped the time table to dick in the booth after dick accidentally confessed to being a vigilante to one of the priests and Jason had to convince him that the man was probably mentally ill.)
The first time Tim came to the booth. It was so quiet. For the first few minutes neither could say a word. Tim's thoughts caught in his throat before he finally blerted out everything. He let it spill how much he cared about Jason despite not knowing him. Jason couldn't hold back the tears that day because one of his biggest regrets was attacking a child. A child who may have taken his place but a child none the less. And for that child to not only forgive him but to love him like a brother? That was a lot.
Eventually, either through pushing from other priests, or him missing his family. Jason makes a visit to the manor. Just to see Alfred, maybe get a glimpse of Damian and Steph. The hug he received from dick and bruce is bruising and he doesn't miss the awkward but if happy smile Tim sends his way. Alfred makes his favorite meal. And he listens as Damian muses about his animals and drawings to his big brother like there has been no time apart. Jason sits happily with Alfred (the cat) in his arms as he listens. This becomes a weekly occurrence.
