Why this must be read:It rocks. Like a giant rocking thing. Okay, so even non-DC fans know about Jason Todd, the second Robin, who was killed by popular vote of fans, right? Well, a lot of folks figure poor Jason got a bum deal, and there are any number of fics that portray possible futures that involve Jason alive.
This is one of my favorites :)
In Kaylee's Dracoverse, Jason survived the Joker's attack, but became estranged from Batman. He's still in Gotham, though, and he's carved out a nice little life for himself. Naturally, things go wrong and life moves on.
Kaylee wrote several stories in this 'verse, and numerous other excellent writers, such as
heatherly and
frito_kal joined in. Unfortunately, those stories are scattered across the Net and require some searching to find. But they're worth it for the interesting characters and fantastic writing.
