#I just like White Collar crossovers mainly because it's 99% identity reveal one-shots

Fanfic idea in three steps :

1) Talia and Jason being mother and son.

2) Jason and Talia being very affectionate with each other because given who they are it's hard to get good cuddles so they kind of cling to each other when they can.

2.5) Talia can only really be affectionate with her sons because of the level of trust required to show care and vulnerability. Therefore the only other person she could be this affectionate with is Damian, but she isn't because A: showing that she truly cares about him would make him a target for her enemies (Damian knows that she cares, he understands that his mother is protecting him by staying away) and B: Robin's reputation in the hero community could be badly damaged by his closeness with her and she doesn't wants that. But Jason can handle her enemies (actually they'll stay away if they know what's good for them) and doesn't gives a fuck about what the hero community thinks. On Jason's side, he doesn't have much more people to cuddle with : he's still having issues with his family, can't really hang out with them out of costume because of the whole being legally dead thing, and in costume he thinks that being seen as affectionate with his family would make him less scary to criminals (Damian is the exception, tho) but it's mostly that he's still feelings things out with them and they respect his personal space. He also has Roy and Kori, because whne they're together they have no personal space at all and it's nice, but they're not here all the time. So yeah, Talia and Jason are maybe a bit Touch-starved and affection-starved and 100% willing to help each other out about it, because they're family and love each other.

3) This, but from outsider POV of various very confused league members (both justice league and the league of assassins), very confused villains and other criminals, and just basically very confused people.

(because I have a thing for confused outsider POV. But really, imagine you're a minor member of the justice league and you see The Daughter of the Demon and the Red Hood cuddling? Priceless. You're an assassin and you see your cold and harsh mistress suddenly smiling and laughing with a young man who looks at her like she hung the moon? Incredible. You're a Batfamily member, and you know Talia as this Incredibly deadly and efficient and scary woman but when you sneak into Jason's home you find them both cuddling on the sofa, Talia looking at Jason with such a loving smile while he rants about books he read recently? Mind-blowing. You're a police officer, here to arrest a group of tied-up drug dealers that the Red Hood beat up and you see the famous crime lord being scolded like a child for not sleeping enough by a young woman and he seems?? Sheepish?? Did he just call her mom?? Wait how old is the Red Hood??)

(I live for people being confused! This time it's people being confused by Jason and Talia's relationship)
