Lol, oh, man, I Batlove you for this prompt. I’m thinking this is in the mishmash of Pre-Reboot and DCnU again because that’s a happy place for me? Lian’s about three or four in this because of reasons.

Is it wrong that I want that fantasy AU where Jason is a thief who happens upon Tim, who has been ~magically transformed into a small red dragon? Because I do.
I was trying to think of how an AU of The Frighteners would work because today was long and stupid and I like to distract myself with things I will never write because that’s going to make things better, I guess?

Takes place in some mishmash of Pre-Reboot DCU and DCnU. Links go to the corresponding posts on Texts From Last Night. (I, uh. There’s really no explaining this one, is there?)
Tim isn’t really sure how he gets this…honor, but. Apparently he’s Jason’s text buddy. Jason sends him texts at all hours that are in turn hilarious, vaguely traumatizing, and bewildering. There’s no real pattern in that Jason will text him when he’s bored, when he’s being shot at (Jason’s sent him pictures of people actively trying to kill him because they dress like they’re from the 90s, parachute pants and all), when he’s in a good mood (Jason mooning him is not something Tim ever wants to see again, picture form or not), when he’s in a bad mood, and, occasionally, when he’s drunk. Like now.
We’re all getting matching jack daniels tattoos. We’re gonna be an alcoholic gang of awesome.
Tim congratulates him and gets a picture of Jason flipping him off, Roy and Kory hanging off his shoulders, laughing drunkenly in return. Tim rolls his eyes, but saves the picture to his phone after sending a copy to Dick.
********
A week later Jason sends him a picture of grungy carpeting, empty beer battles and worse littering the floor. He can see someone he thinks might be Roy sprawled on the floor at the top of the frame, fuzzy and just out of focus.
Because Jason is a class act all the way like that. Also, interesting.
********
Jason’s surprisingly quite for the next few weeks, and Tim thinks nothing of it until he gets home after a night of patrol and checks his phone to find a message from Jason.
This is simple. Just sex and high fives. No feelings.
Tim pulls the cowl down and perches on the edge of his desk as he texts Jason, because Jason’s an idiot. It takes an agonizingly long time before a reply comes.
He’s grinding topless with a group of girls to that discovery channel song. May I take a message?
Tim stares at his phone because Jason, and texts back that he’ll try again later, when Jason will have a chance of remembering the conversation.
********
Tim really shouldn’t be too surprised when Jason texts him later that night, and yet.
I wanted to be mature but the vodka was resilient.
Tim stares at his phone for a long moment, texts back, Throwing up in his bed is not a step up in your relationship before turning it off and shoving it under his pillow, but thinks better of it and puts it in the nightstand drawer before going back to sleep.
********
Tim wakes up to the buzzing of his phone in the nightstand drawer. When he fumbles it open he sighs, exasperated at the message.
Tough, he sends. Relents. You need to stop being an idiot about this. Okay, so maybe not the best way to put it, but.
Yeah. Jason sends back.
********
Tim’s in class when his phone vibrates, and when he checks it, he wonders why he even bothers.
Everything smells like blood and olive oil.
Tim knows Dick’s incapable of cooking something without some form of disaster taking place, but. All Jason had to do was reheat the food in the oven. Alfred had done everything he could to make it foolproof. Maybe Tim had made a mistake in letting Jason take any kind of advice from Cosmo, let alone advice on how to woo someone. (Tim doesn’t buy Jason’s explanation that it belongs to Kory because, really, she knows better.)
********
Tim ends up in the water when going after a mugger and catches some kind of bug that has him wishing for death. Instead, he gets texts from Jason that makes him wish for brain bleach. Apparently Jason’s realized he’s not actually in some kind of twisted romantic comedy because it’s Roy, and he’s Jason.
Seconds later there’s another text, impossibly smug.
he fed me chocolate as I gave him a handjob. I felt like a princess.
Tim lets out a wordless cry of horror, anger, grief for the loss of his remaining sanity, he’s not entirely sure, just that he didn’t need to know that, God, Jason, what the hell.
