Summary
Glancing from his hands-tiny and small, unnatural and wrong- to the rest of his body.
Small
He’s clad in green, soft sleep robes-old familiar ones- and the realization hits him along with immediate denial.
He has to see.
He stumbles towards the closet where he remembers the door being a reflective sheet of gold-a garish, hideous thing- and stares at his reflection.
Bright green eyes and a ridiculously pudgy youthful face stare back at him.

Summary
“You two are probably the most likely to believe what I’m about to say. I’ll say it once and after that we really don’t have time. We need to get the others. Today is November 14th…”
Hen and Chim cut Buck off with another laugh, like any of this was funny.
“Thank you, Captain obvious.” Chimney chuckled nervously, knowing that something was definitely different by the way Buck was carrying himself.
“Today, is November 14th, 2029. You’ve been gone for five years and apparently now you and everyone else that blipped is back. Get in the car.”
OR
The blip happens, everyone but Buck and Bobby disappear, and Buck ends up with all the 118 children.

Summary
Job opening: Housekeeper/Babysitter/Bodyguard for five-year-old Timothy Drake
Requirements: None. Pretending to be Mrs. Mac's son won't even cause the Drakes to do a background check (they won't even bother to check if you're a crime lord that accidentally traveled from another dimension either)
Hours: Negotiable. No extended home visits. Must only drop off food and water twice a week because a five-year-old boy and a houseplant apparently have the same needs.
Start Date: Immediately
Or: An accidental interdimensional teleportation causes the Red Hood to end up pretending to be Jason Mac and being Timmy's babysitter.
This is my story for Febuwhump 2023. 28 Chapters of Whump, Hurt/comfort, Humor, and Fluff! Updated once every day of February.

There was absolutely no way this sunshine was from Gotham in April.
Not possible.
Which meant, Tim was no longer in Gotham, in April.
(In which Tim finds himself in the past, and tries to do the right thing. It's more complicated than he'd like.)

Summary
When Damian Wayne accidentally ends up ten years in the past, he's determined to find his way back on his own. Too bad a nine-year-old Tim Drake out batwatching happens upon him, immediately getting attached to this alternate Robin.
Begrudgingly, Damian tolerates his future brother's presence as he looks for a way home - all while doing everything to avoid meeting the rest of his family. He can't afford to change the past, after all.
Fate (and his love for his family) have other plans.

Bookmark Notes:
The more galas one attended, the more often one was held captive by the rogues or gangs or other criminals interrupting said galas. Most of the time, it boiled down to hanging around in an unfamiliar room for a few hours until rescue came. Sometimes even a few days.
Socialite children’s lesson number one when in a new environment – assuming one wasn’t tied to a chair or shackled to a wall – was to check the room for possible exits. Lesson number two was to check for hidden cameras or other surveillance devices. Gotham’s myriad of crazies had its fair share of creeps, too, after all.
Tim would assume alley kids worked along a similar code of conduct, based on the site Jason had left behind.

Summary
Tim Drake discovers that sometimes family is the hodgepodge gang of vigilantes and teenage superheroes from another universe that collectively decides to adopt you.
Or, with the power of hand wavy multiverse travel, a tired and beaten down comics!Tim winds up in the Young Justice cartoon universe.
Or, I have an incredibly niche obsession with this trope and will populate it myself if need be.
