Fics like Among the Red Clay Graves

The grave dirt still clung beneath his fingernails. He stumbled barefoot across the Gotham cemetery, shirt stiff, skin gray from the earth. His lungs rattled, his ribs ached, and the moon above looked too white, too sharp, like a blade. Every step was agony; every breath, a fight against the coffin that still seemed to close in around him. He didn’t know his name. Not yet. He didn’t know who he’d been or why the taste of blood felt so familiar on his tongue. All he knew was that he had been dead, and now he wasn’t. The boy wandered through cracked headstones and rusted iron fences, until the city’s glow swallowed the night. He moved on instinct: alleys, shadows, avoiding headlights, avoiding people. Gotham was a monster, and something inside him whispered that it had already eaten him once. Or: Recently revived Jason Todd is found not by Talia al Ghul, but by Jonathan Crane. And, by coincidence, Jonathan decides that it's about time to go face home.
