    Summary

    The shadow is a silhouette on the edge of the roof. She can’t see his eyes behind the blank white lenses of his cowl, but she can feel the cunning weight of his gaze as it rakes over her, a pair of predators recognizing one another. She keeps her posture relaxed. She looks back at him with steady eyes.

    She is not prey.

    She will not allow the kind boy behind her to be prey either.

    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

    “The reports can wait, too. You don’t have to do everything at once, Tim.” He narrowed his eyes at the screw in Dick’s hand, as if calculating the probability of being able to steal it back. Dick closed his fist around the screw and crossed his arms. “You know, clumsy old me. It would be a shame if this screw just happened to fall down the sink.”

    “You wouldn’t,” Tim replied with a glare. “You know that those screws have to be custom fabricated one-by-one.”

    (Or, three times that Tim gets some sleep with a little help from his brothers).

    Summary

    The message is from Timothy, which is unusual on its own; he and Damian don't have much of a texting habit, and Timothy isn't one to reach out unless there is an emergency. Even then it's a coin toss.

    Or, Tim asks Damian for help and they bond over video games, cats and lying to Batman.

    Summary

    He holds his little brother in his arms, his soft breaths are the only sounds in the empty space of his apartment. Tim thinks, he will never be a perfect big brother to him.

    But Lucas holds his hand in a tight grip, and Tim smiles, his eyes tearing up.

    'I love you, I love you, I love you.'

    or

    Tim becomes super mushy and soft (you can thank Dick for that) for his little brother, and Damian thinks it's... unfair.. (Tim loves him too, they're both too stubborn)

    Summary

    "I know who you are."

    Those were the five words Jason dreaded hearing since he'd returned to Gotham.

    He wanted to reveal himself, on his terms and in the most dramatic way possible.

    Was he a self-promoting bastard? Yes, but he could afford it after he was dead and his killer was still on the loose!

    The longer he stayed in the city, leaving clues as to his identity, the more chances there was that Batman figured out who he was.

    And Jason didn't want to give him that satisfaction.

    But it wasn't Batman who said it. It
    had been a child.

     
    ----------

    Jason has a plan for Gotham, a vengeance and a Robin to eliminate. He never expected Tim Drake to come his way.

    Jason and Tim are the only ones around when Damian catches a cold, and it turns out wrangling a sick and cranky Damian is way worse than fighting a small gang on your own. Who would've thought?

    Summary

    Billions of dollars and silk suits and heavy rings dripping off fingers, but Bruce was never truly happy until he met Dick, then Jason, then the rest of them. So Gotham’s old fortune can kiss Tim’s ass.

    Bernard...doesn’t seem to think so. Not in the least, if the nervous bob of his Adam's apple is anything to go by.

    Tim creeps behind him, utterly silent until his nose almost tickles the back of Bernard’s neck, then whispers in his ear, “It’s haunted.”

    Bernard shrieks.

    Alfred opens the door.

    A solid ton of polished oak and brass and institution caresses the floor in a sweeping curve, giving way to Bernard, Batman t-shirt underneath a blazer, cherry red in the face. Tim snickers beside him.

     

    or, wins and losses in turns, and being twenty is epidemic, but tim manages to wrestle with life enough to tug bernard into place beside him

    "Everyone puts up one childhood craft ornament," Dick said sternly. "That's the rule."

    "I move to amend the constitution," Tim said.

    "Seconded."

    Summary

    It had been a few years now. A few years since the Bats had altogether stopped responding to Tim’s distress signals. They would sometimes respond to his comm calls, but those calls were few and far between. Tim just let it happen, even if he was in mortal danger. There wasn’t much he could say to get the Bats to respond to his distress signal, so when Jason came and made his offer, Tim was kinda relieved.

    Summary

    Graveyard mud, heavy and dark, clinging to a stained and torn suit. One shoe missing, a leg bent awkwardly and blood staining a bare foot.

    Milk white skin beneath the mud, black hair hanging in muddy clumps around his ears. Blue eyes staring back at him, animal-bright and dilated in the brief moment before he flinches back from the light with a cry of pain that stabs through Jason to the soul.

    His shaking hand closes around the flashlight before he can even think about it, cutting off the piercing beam and letting it spill out in shards between his fingers. For a petrifying moment as his eyes readjust, he’s sure that when he looks again, there will be nothing there.

    “Tim?” he whispers.

    The lean and ragged figure, tiny, god he’s so small, lowers his hands away from his face, away from his eyes wide and glittering almost silver in the moonlight.

    Hands, mud-covered and torn. The red of his shredded fingernails is sickeningly dark in the broken light.

    He’s vomiting before he even feels the bile making its way up his throat.

    Summary

    Drake crossed his arms, eyes rolling to the ceiling like a silent prayer. “We know, Damian! All of us know! We pale in comparison to you, oh true blood son!”

    “Then why am I the one he doesn’t want!?” Damian screamed. “Father has made it clear that out of all of his children, I am the one forced upon him, the one he does not care for! Why am I…” His voice lowered to a broken whisper, “Why am I not good enough?”

    Summary

    Drake clicks his tongue and tilts his head off to the side. “This really isn’t as fun as I thought it would be.” 

    Oh, really? Damian starts furiously finger spelling, just to be annoying. You know, I thought the floating platforms would be of the utmost excitement. 

    “I caught a solid half of that and I think you’re making fun of me.” Drake goes to shift before remembering that he can’t - his face beneath his domino contorts into something unpleasant. “My legs are falling asleep, dude.” 

    You move, signs Damian, for real this time, and I go under.

    “You talk,” Drake shoots back. “And I go under."

    Summary

    Tim plays it a few more times. I love you, Tim. He mouths the words, tries them out on his own tongue. 

     

    He pulls up Bruce’s contact. Hey Bruce, I’m ok. He sends it, pauses for a moment before adding.

     

    It’s raining.

     

    The words stare at him and he stares back. It’s pouring, he thinks, before setting the phone down somewhere in his sheets and turning back over to sleep.

    Summary

    They were midway through the intersection when Tim caught something in his peripheral vision. A truck coming from Tim’s left had run the red light and was barreling towards them. Knowing a crash was inevitable, Tim swerved the car to ensure his side took the brunt of the force and threw his right arm over Damian.

    There was a loud crash, and his world plummeted into darkness.
