#This November Life by forestgreen gets me.

Rewatching UTRH is so fun bc this is the only red hood i want. He's cleaning up Gotham. He's killing anyone who gets in his way. He's taking huge cuts off the streets. He's offering protection and delivering.

To the Letter by Lysical - Kinda dark!Jason finding a way to bend no-killing rule.

This November Life by forestgreen - UTHR au. A lethal, smart and competent crime lord!Jason with a plan, who doesn’t goes all dumb and angry the second he meets Batfam. He also gets a cool hacker ally and learning in university.

The Phoenix Never Dies by ForceMage56 - Merges Jason's regular origin with Arkhamverse origin really well. A hurt Jason who saves himself. I also liked that Bats aren't really villianized here. They made mistakes but they're not monsters. Also an OC who was geniunely likeable to me (a certificied disliker of OCs lol). And Jason is also a BAMF here. "Do not fight Jason Todd on any battle field, you will lose". A great balance of action and emotions.

Ash and Explosions by raindropfeathers - also kinda dark!Jason.

A Dance on Broken Glass by starknjarvis is a really good Alfred-Jason realtionships deciption. Not perfect but trying!Alfred is especially an amazing part of it. (I'm not sure on your stance on Alfred so sorry if you don't enjoy fics with him).

Kindling for the Fire by Lysical - Jason being competent and smart and getting around the no killing rule by manipulating people into killing each other. Jason and Barbara bantering. Also Barbara underestimating Jason.

(Hope you will like this!)

Look at you giving me and Jason Nation more quality content!!

Thank you for showing me more fics! After all the new fics that people have recommended me I will now have a lot to read!

Dark!Jason is a treat, love it!

Alfred is a cool character, he is not the perfect grandparent or caretaker but he does appreciate and value his grandkids. He has done a pretty good job for an ex MI6 agent. Jason & Alfred content is something that I don't seek out but it is welcomed!

Jason and Barbara content as just friends, partners or lovers is something that I don't like but you kinda sold that last one to me when you said that "Barbara underestimating Jason" 😆

Also! I am happy you appreciate Jason being competent and being written in a fair way. I will use that to rant a little bit about what I think about it.

My stance on it is quite hard to describe.

I think that Jason is an excellent fighter, he would be a crazy opponent to many in the DC universe. But i tend to draw the line at him being the best of the best. In a sense I think he is missing training in certain areas but that's what makes him great too.

One of my biggest turn offs from the New 52 era was the fact that Lobdell would not stop giving him abilities. He can do this and he knows that and was capable of things that people with way more training could do...

It was unrealistic and kinda boring in the end (not a fan of the whole "chosen one" bullshit that Tynion and Lobdell had going on back then).

I prefer the Jason that was trained by Batman and the League of Assassins. The Jason who had plans for his plans but also had a rapid way to end things even if things didn't end up going his way.

In UtRH, Jason fled the scene many times because he knew that he wasn't prepared or that he wasn't a good match. But that's made him better! It kept him on his toes and made him adapt more.

The learning process was amazing. Him coming back for a second time but this time prepared was a great thing, it felt more real and like Jason had room to become even better.

Now with Task Force Z I get a little bit of that but mostly the vibe that he gives me is that he knows more than he lets out.

The way that he seems to be two steps ahead of everyone but secretly really makes me happy.

Anyway, I am done, that was a long and unnecessary rant, sorry about that!

But yeah, in the end, I am happy that you enjoy the content that doesn't undervalues Jason's skill-set. He is more than weapons, he is incredibly intelligent and I have always wanted to see him have villains that would make him think more.

Thank you for the fic recs! And sorry again for the lil rant, I just love to talk about Jason 🙈 and my thoughts on him and his fictional life 😆
