- it's got nothing to do with him
- it's not for BRUCE to forgive

- Alfred is not a saint
- Alfred is an enabler

- he's looking at Jason and going 'that's RED HOOD'
- whereas Dick is like NO that's MY BABY BROTHER

- references to whatever was happening between Ra's al Ghul and Tim
- and an attempt to make that make sense
- descriptions of violence
- reference to The Batarang again
- references to morally grey Ra's al Ghul
- I didn't vibe with him being Evil
- (which - depending on which comics you read - makes this more AU I guess)
- discussions of ethics
- and the sustainability of vigilantism
- hopefully I got a decent grasp of Cass' character
- Cassandra Cain and Jason Todd are Siblings
- Cassandra Cain Needs a Hug
- my days that's a tag?
- I just think that Pa Kent would be a good listener
- another excuse for Jason to monologue whoooo
- Jason and Tim are NOT friendly
- Tim Drake and Jason Todd are Not Siblings
- Cigarettes
- yeah it's the Joker thing (jesus christ)
- discussion of ethics and vigilantism
- still not a positive thing
- Background Barbara Gordon - Freeform
- Magical Jason Todd
- this is honestly one of the most self-indulgent things I've ever written
- it doesn't really fit with the rest of this series
- except for the fact that AB Jason has read a lot of Terry Pratchett
- Fire
- Magic
- no beta we die like men
- making children Robin is child abuse
- the moral issue of the existence of Batman
- Morality

- it's his coping mechanism
- and it SUCKS anyway
- he is a poorly adjusted man
- who is way too used to not communicating
- and to violence
- he's also arrogant
- but! he can get better...eventually
- redemption is a thing
- Bruce believes in it
- so does Jason
- (Jason will just also shoot you to make sure you're not hurting people on the way)
- the thing is - it HAS to be Dick who gets Batman to retire
- he wouldn't listen to anyone else
- but he will - eventually - listen to Dick
- because he believes the MOST in Dick
- Fluff
- Tag
- vigilante tag
- Dick is there for approximately two seconds
- Bruce Wayne is Bad at Relationships
- okay that tag is probably for romantic relationships but ehhh
- Stephanie Brown Deserves Better
- Bruce Wayne should be hunted for sport
- Alfred Pennyworth Is Not a Saint
- Stephanie Brown Needs a Hug
- BAMF Cassandra Cain
- well...I say Discuss
- actions have consequences
- sometimes those consequences are broken bones
- because of AB!Jason's whole...thing
Summary

What if Jason actually stayed as competent as he was in Lost Days and Under the Hood, and actually reacted to his (ex-)dad slicing his neck open?
What if Bruce actually got taken to task (eventually) for being abusive?
What if people actually decided to talk to each other, and listened to what the other person was saying?

But really, it's: what if Jason had a support system; and what if Jason had someone tell him that violence is not how you solve all societal problems.

(And what if I decided that the narrative would be on Jason's side as much as DC's narrative is on Batman's)
(Also, the series is only called Alley Business because I wrote that one first)

Incomplete (and the total word count is half of what it says - the chronological order fic doubles it)
