    Summary

    Tim is eleven the first time he thinks it. His cheeks are an uncomfortable pink and his eyes still raw from sobbing.



    Just... How much? How many pairs of expensive shoes make up for getting hit by your dad?


    Tim Drake loves his father. He does. Which is why it's so hard to tell other people why he only sees adults as angry.

    Summary

    Part of Tim knew that he needed a better plan than his current combination of "hope this went away soon" and "wait until his parents came home so that he could see a doctor without CPS being called," but that part of Tim was also too exhausted to improve upon that plan.

    Tim Drake is alone with a Mysterious Illness. The Batfam help.

    Summary

    Tim Drake was dead.

    It wasn't anything remarkable. In fact, his death went unnoticed by the world for nearly a decade. That's because despite having died, Tim kept on living. Sure he might be a ghost now, but he still got hurt, he still bled when cut, he still ate, he still went to school. To anyone else, it looked like he was a normal, if slightly pale and skinny, boy. He worked hard to pretend that he was alive when he knew he wasn't. Hiding what he was from everyone, including Batman.

    But all that starts to unravel when his grave is threatened to be disturbed.


    The major character death tag is for Tim.

    Summary

    It’s like he can feel the void Jason Todd has left behind, and it makes him unexpectedly ache. You’d think it wouldn’t, maybe, since Tim is in a rare position of absolutely knowing there at least can be something after death. But no, it doesn’t help at all. If anything, it almost makes it worse.

    At least if he were a fellow Gotham ghost, even a weaker shade, he’d still, in some way, be here. Where he was born and bred, where he learned to fly, where he belongs. But from what Tim can tell, he isn’t.

    He’s just… gone.

     

    Tim Drake is a ghost; literally — he died like four years ago. However, he does not let this stop him from helping Batman. And in the wake of Jason Todd's death (and the aforementioned Batman's truly terrible lack of healthy coping mechanisms), he's not taking no for an answer.
