#yes this ice rink has emo hours babyyy

Figure Skating AU question: who’s the hockey player?

Would it be Jason? I feel like it would be Jason…

Jason is dead in this AU because while Dick is helping Tim learn to skate, I need him to have flashbacks that draw parallels between what Dick is teaching Tim and what he used to teach to Jason.

I need Dick to look at the rink with a faraway look in his eye while recalling how Jason would always shout, "Alley-oop!" before jumping over one of the lines painted on the ice.

After practice ends, I need Bruce to head over to Dick to chide him for getting distracted by his phone before he realizes that Dick is staring at his lock screen picture, which just so happens to be a picture of Dick and Jason on the ice. Bruce freezes. He feels his throat getting tighter and tighter when he realizes it's the photo he took a few months before Jason died. The one where Jason is sitting on Dick's shoulders, throwing up peace signs. Dick is clutching on to Jason's calves to keep him from falling over, and he's looking up at Jason in glee, mouth frozen mid-laugh.
