    Summary

    Tim’s pretty sure that Jason hates him.

    Granted, Jason hadn’t seemed to hate him yesterday and Tim has no idea what he did to cause Jason to come to this conclusion today— (and it’s not like Tim hasn’t been racking his brain for the answer to that very question ever since he woke up)— but the signs have been there all morning and the signs never lie. The sullen mood, the closed-off body language, the vague grunts and one-word responses to Tim’s few attempts at conversation… they all point to a singular conclusion.

    Jason has finally gotten sick of him.

    ---

    Or, Jason starts acting weird while both Bruce and Alfred are out of town, and it dredges up some stuff for Tim.

    Luckily, he’s still got one big brother left he can call.

    Summary

    They drive to the drive-through a couple miles away, not the more charming and traditional walk-in shop that Dick likes to take him to when he picks him up from school. Two minutes later, they’re parked at the back of the lot, Tim twisting the plastic spoon in his cup of uneaten cookie dough ice cream, wondering if he could even swallow it past the lump in his throat.

    Bruce hasn’t touched his sherbet either, just holds it in his lap. There’s a drop on the rim of his cup, lazily making its way toward his expensive slacks.

    He moves before Tim can make up his mind whether to break the silence and warn him, reaching into his jacket pocket with his free hand and pulling out a familiar white pill bottle.

    He sets the Prozac on the dash.

    Summary

    In a moment of clarity, Tim remembers his emergency button. He remembers patrol, and he remembers a gang and a shootout.

    He uses his free hand to fumble around until he manages to find the chest piece and press the emergency button. His vision is fuzzing at the edges and the last thing he sees is a dark figure leaning over him, a gun pointed at his face.

    Well fuck, is his last thought before everything fades to black.

    Summary

    Bruce circles him. He’s barely broken a sweat, highly conscious of the lack of ache in his own muscles. “You need to improve your stamina,” he growls. “This isn’t good enough.

    His tone is cruel, biting.

    Tim should lash out at it. He should snap back that he’s trying, that he’s doing his best, that he is improving.

    Instead, he just nods, adjusting his stance. He swallows, throat audibly clicking with dehydration. “Again,” he croaks out. “Let’s do it again. I’ll get it this time.”

    And Bruce should refuse. He should insist he take a break, should send him to go get something to drink, should tell him they’re done for the night so he won’t be too sore to train again tomorrow.

    Instead, he matches his stance.

    Summary

    Tim is an unwanted android, a Robo-Child. After being sent back by his parents, his last and only hope rests in the hands of a man still grieving the loss of his own son.

    “I didn’t ask for a replacement,” Bruce barked. “I don’t want a replacement! You can go back and tell the RCO I don’t need a replacement.”

    Bruce Wayne didn’t want him. If Bruce Wayne didn’t want him, he’d be sent back and dismantled.

    Summary

    Dick comes around to stand fully in front of him, keeping a steadying hand on Tim’s arm. “Just because you know you’re safe intellectually doesn’t mean you always feel safe,” he says softly. “It’s okay if you don’t feel safe.”

    “But it’s not okay!” Tim bursts out. “Because if I don’t feel safe, then how is Jason supposed to feel safe? He shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable just because my brain is screwed up!”

    There’s a faint sound by the door, barely more than an intake of breath, and his eyes snap to the no-longer empty doorway.

    Summary

    “Here,” Jason says, passing the tray over to Damian. “Go bring Dick this.”

    Damian redirects his scowl, but the furrow in his brow looks more curious than angry now. “What is it?”

    “Papanasi,” he answers. “It’s, uh. It’s something his family used to make.”

    Damian accepts the tray, holding it as carefully as he would delicate electronics. “And this will…make him happy?”

    He doesn’t laugh at him. “Nah, kid,” he says wearily. “He’s not going to be happy until he knows his family is safe. But it’ll help.”

    The smaller boy clambers down from the stool, taking care not to drop the dessert as he does. He hesitates on his way out of the kitchen. “I…am looking forward to Drake’s safe return,” he says.

    Jason snorts. “For Grayson’s sake, yeah, yeah.”

    “Yes,” he says, shifting on his feet. “For Grayson’s sake.” Another beat, and finally he pads out of the room, very seriously balancing the tray that looks ridiculously large in his small arms.

    Summary

    There’s a few rings, then the phone picks up.

    “Wayne Residence.”

    That’s funny, Tim thinks, Mrs. Mac doesn’t sound like herself.

    --

    zugzwang: in chess, the obligation to move, when any move at all will be bad

     

    "A game of chess, Detective. I assume you know how to play. You win, and you and your family may leave freely. win, and you take your place as my heir and I dispose of the others as I see fit."

    Tim stopped breathing.

    Ra's spread his hands, still smiling that condescending crocodile grin. "Our skills are evenly matched. The challenge is more than fair."

     

    All a game, just win. All a game, just win. Just win, just win, win, win...

     

    Keep your head.

    Summary

    Tim is good at galas.

    No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

    ---

    Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.

    Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.

    Summary

    When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.

    Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

    Summary

    “Take a sit, there’s a good lad,” Alfred says softly as he wraps a nearby afghan around Tim’s shoulders. Alfred sits next to Tim on the sofa and pulls a box of tissues from the side table, offering them to Tim. He takes one, wipes his eyes, blows his nose, and slowly attempts to breathe.

    “I--I’m sorry,” Tim whispers. His breath hitches. “I’m sorry I scared you, everyone is fine--,”

    “You are not fine, love.”

    ***

    Tim reaches a breaking point. Luckily, he is not alone.
