Writing prompt

Guy with amnesia builds a nice life for himself, in his little corner of the world, and even befriend some average dude. They become bros. One day, something absolutely wild gets revealed about amnesia!guy's past. Like, used to deal organs, fought God or came back from the dead. Turns out, amnesia!guy is just your average OP main character in a fantasy setting who settled into a cozy life. The rest of the story is just the two bros uncovering this crazy past.

And the dialogue is just.

Average!guy : Dude, what the hell ? You were the head of a cult for years ?!

Amnesia!guy : Man, I don't fucking know.

Jason Todd centric fic recs because I can

There will be no shipping nor romance here, except for like one, because I don't like it. There won't be any Bruce & Jason bonding fics either, because that's boring (in my very personal opinion of course). Without further ado, here's the list.

Long and pretty popular works (aka the mainstreams) that are canon adjacent at least (not canon compliant though) :

Jason Todd : the Not-So-Outlaw by GoAwayOlivia = The man. The legend. The blueprint. Jason goes back to Gotham after being cleared by the Justice League. Features the Red Hood taking care of crime alley and becoming the protector of children and working girls. I think everyone's read this one.

The right substitution is key by AddictedApple = Not that long but honestly iconic enough to belong in that list. Jason, after being weirdly convinced by Tim's crazy idea, becomes Batman in Batman's and Nightwing's absence. Problem, the kids don't know the Red Hood is Jason.

No more dead robins by bjurnberg = I love this serie as a whole. Jason decides Batman doesn't treat Robin well enough to keep him. His very natural and logical response is to kidnap Tim. He then drunk calls the goddamn justice league. The later parts focus on the romance with a joke OC introduced in the first part and honestly the whole thing is incredible.

Funny ones :

Jason Todd's guide to finding out if your dad's been replaced by profundalpacakitten = This one is genuinely so funny. I laugh every time. Jason plans his revenge when suddenly he realizes something is amiss : Batman is hurting common criminals now and treating his sidekicks badly, which is not the Batman he remembers. Cue the conspiracy theory board.

Ain't No Compass, Ain't No Map by ebjameston = Outsider POV. OC is with the CPS and is the exteriorization of my thoughts about Batman and his little army (I don't like child soldiers). Still hilarious.

The daily life of Red Hood's accountant by impravidus = Outsider POV. Red Hood find himself an accountant.

@JayGatsbyFR by Meilisheep = Let's be real, we would all thirst over Jason if he was real and on social media. Well, respectfully. Jason starts to give agitated book reviews on YouTube. He gains a following. The family finds out. Barbara is her iconic self.

Jason Todd vs The AO3 curse by GalaxyOwl13 = Jason's life told by his author notes on AO3. Needless to say, the readers are Concerned.

Revenge and trauma (and violence) :

The Bowery Boys by thetiniestteapot = Not sure how I feel about the rest of the serie but the first installment is good. Jason just kills a lot in this one. Chilling.

One reason by ForceMage56 = This one genuinely horrifies me. In a universe where the Batfam put him in Arkham, Jason goes through the torture from the Arkham games. Disgustingly terrifying and yet so good. Just keep in mind, nobody can break Jason Todd (yes he does go on a murder rampage, as a treat).

Very original AUs :

Robin's roast by envysparkler = Interesting take one the Red Hood. As the Red Hood is a weird coffee shop in the Alley run by an even weirder guy.

The long way home by itsnatalie = I love it so much. It's a genuinely very original and the word building is fascinating. It reads as an independent story more than fanfiction. Jason and Tim get stuck in a very freaky magical maze. Everything is so disturbing and the build to tension is wonderfully done. You can feel the exhaustion from the words.

Across the sands by Lulu_rythm = Could have been with the mainstreams with how iconic it is. Jason becomes Damian's bodyguard in the League and practically raises him.

Help by Loxare = Jason goes to Bludhaven instead of Gotham and becomes the protector of children. Amazing.

Indomitable will by storytellerontheside = Jason crawls out of his grave and becomes a green lantern. Hal can't help but feel strangely protective of this new kid.

Weird crossovers :

But trust me to take you home by Daisy apples = Bucky Barnes the Winter Soldier stumbles upon a prickly child in the streets of Gotham. He then proceeds to adopt him.

Jason joins the squad by What_They_Call_Me = Jason joins the suicide squad. Pretty self explanatory. Not sure if it counts as a crossover though.

Red is the color of sinners by blue_lotus = A hurt Jason ends up in a church in New York where he meets and tentatively form a friendship with the local blind lawyer, aka Matt Murdock.

Cruor Avis by blue_lotus = Frank Castle saves a young Jason Todd from Arkham. Very therapeutic.

One headlight by BoneRot19 = Jason moves to Manhattan to find peace. He instead finds some very annoying marvel vigilantes. Ft. Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Matt Murdock and others.

A Temporary Good (Come to Those Who Deserve It) by RandomReader13 = The BAU has a new case : someone is putting down some gang members across the States. But perhaps they are not ready for who is to come.
