All That: Still Into You
Fics that I find myself rereading over & over & over & over &... (because my other collections for stuff I reread a lot got too long; there's just too many good fics out there!)
A mix of fics I consider particularly well written (my favourite from The Good Stuff) & fics I just like, for whatever reason (fics I read even more often than the rest of the All That collections)

Summary
His father is on him in a second, pinning him back against the cabinets behind him with impressive speed for a man who was in a coma mere months ago. “They aren’t your family, I am,” he snarls in his face. “And someday you’re going to learn to respect that.”
Some frayed thread of self-control, worn thin by years of this bullshit, finally snaps. “I was always here, I was always ready for you to come home and act like family,” he spits back, heart pounding in his chest. “You were the ones who never wanted to be. Bruce Wayne has acted like more of a father to me than you ever have.”
Jack’s hands move from pinning his shoulders to wrapping around his throat in the space between heartbeats. Tim should be able to break the hold, easy. Should be able to push him away, strike his legs out from under him even without his bo staff to help him. He’s Robin.
Instead, cold ice spills through his veins, freezing him in place even as his windpipe buckles.

Summary
Tim is an independent, clever, and super mature eleven-year-old. Unfortunately, his dopey neighbor, Bruce, can’t seem to understand that.
When he decides to disappear on a “solo camping trip” and run away to Canada, he figures it’s the perfect plan that will make everybody happy. He didn’t expect the Waynes would tag along with him and ruin everything.
A six-chaptered tale filled with identity shenanigans, s’mores, soon-to-be-brothers, and a kid who is in desperate need of a new family.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Sometimes I wonder just how bad the League fucked up B. I mean, they did train him; he has to, in a sense, think like them. He understands their world view, sad as that sounds. They take ‘em young. So does B, if you think about it.”
Jason made a face. That little parallel hadn’t occurred to him and yet here he was, too young for sex (ha!), too young to smoke (double ha! Though the intensity of his training had cut that habit back to zilch since he needed every inch of lung capacity to survive gaining his level of fitness) and too young to drink (yeah, Jason’s not admitting to anything there) but still old enough to take on guys with guns, walk murder scenes and profile serial killers. For all his distaste for what the League stood for, Bruce was still, in a sense, indoctrinated to their ways.
“They taught him to view the world like it has nothing but enemies,” Dick sighed. “Usually he logics his way out of that mess, but it does take him a minute.
