If you are looking for the best fanfiction about Jason Todd, then this is the post for you.
Jason Todd is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe and appeared for the first time in the 357th edition of Barman in 1983.

This resulted in the character’s death in 1988’s ‘A Death in the family’ storyline.
So if you are a DC or comic book fan in general, Jason Todd stories might be just the thing for you.
Along with the comics, there is also a whole world of Jason Todd fanfiction.
But in this post, I will write about some of the most popular Jason Todd fanfiction according to hits received on Archive of Our Own.
1. Jason Todd: The Not-So-Outlaw
In this fanfic, we see Jason Todd as he tris to figure out who he really is.
Batman tried to turn him into a second Robin, to no avail.
The Joker then tried to turn him into a true bad guy.
But Todd doesn’t see himself as either of these people.
So now he has decided to take matters back into his own hands and become who he really is.
And more importantly, he tries to make the friends he so desperately needs.

2. Liminal Space
In this fanfic, the focus is more on Bruce Wayne, and his alter ego, Batman.Â
Bruce Wayne is no stranger to taking in strays and struggling kids.
But somehow this time, he feels the need to be a real father figure for Tim Drake.Â
This is because this Tim Drake was abandoned by his Batman in an alternate universe.

3. the bat’s nest
This fanfic is a crossover between the Batman and Justice League comics and movies.
It takes place in an alternate universe, and it is, therefore, a bit different that the original stories.
Batman has been a part of the Justice League for some time, but he still does not trust his fellow superheroes.
The rest of the League knows this about him and accepts it, because, as far as they know, Batman always works alone.
But then they find out about all the children he took under his wing, and the perception they have of Batman completely changes.
The story is only one chapter long, but it is filled with a lot of feelings and all of our favorite characters.
4. Latchkey
For this story, the writer changed the ages of some of the main characters to make it fit better with the story.
Tim Drake runs a blog called BatWatch, which somehow became one of the most popular blogs.
But because his parents mostly ignore and neglect him, he does not know how to handle most of the fame that comes with this.
He is walking around town, trying to fend for himself, when Jason sees him.
When he tells Bruce Wayne about the boy with all this talent walking around, Bruce decides to take Tim under his wing.
This story is part 1 of the “Shutterbug” series, which contains nine parts in total.

Danny and Jazz have to deal with an injured Batman.

This is a pretty dark and grim story about Jason growing up and having to take on this responsibility.
7. QUARANTINED: RED ROBIN’S TIK TOK ACCOUNT
In this fanfic, the coronavirus has also reached Gotham City.
People are quarantined, and Tim Drake is bored out of his mind because of this.
So to pass the time, Tim decides to start a TikTok account and just have some fun with it.
But not everyone in the Wayne family is happy with this.
This is because Tim is filming Nightwing, Red Hood, and even Batman while discussing things.
And even though the views are sky high, it also has consequences.
8. Flock
This story contains 100 different one-shots about Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian.
A few of the other characters from several Batman media types also show up, but the main focus is on the four boys.
It shows stories where they have to fight together, but also some stories are about being part of the Batfamily.
The stories go from canon to alternate universe to time travel.
Literally every subject you can think of in the superhero world is used in one of the stories.
So it’s likely there is a short story in here for you, no matter your preference.
9. Robins and Other Flightless Birds
In this story, we see multiple universes, and in each one, Bruce has a long list of ‘adopted’ children.
So when the version of Bruce without any finds this out, he realizes that children are exactly what he needs.

So he looks up the kids from the other universes to find out how they are doing in this universe.
And soon, he comes up with an idea to create his own little Bat family.
This story is part 1 of the “Flightless Birds” series.
It is 59 chapters long, but the chapters are all medium-sized and read easily.

He also knows that his children wear capes in some of the universes and are out on the streets as superheroes.
But that is not what he wants for his children.
So he does everything he can to ensure that his universe isn’t one with the child vigilantes.
And, of course, his kids do not agree with this and do everything they can to change his mind.
