Summary
Tim Drake knows Gotham never sleeps—and he refuses to, either. But exhaustion leaves cracks, and Black Mask is waiting to exploit them. A botched mission turns into a brutal trap, leaving Tim broken and bleeding, forced to face the weight of his choices.
“Tell me,” Sionis whispered, his tone dripping with mockery. “Does Batman ever think about how easy you make it for me? Or does he just keep sending birds into the storm, waiting for each one to break its wings?”

Summary
“You can only be worth something if you’re useful. People forgive you if you help enough. But if you stop being useful—what’s left?”
Jason shut the book like it might shatter. His heart slammed against his ribs.
For years—years—he’d thought Tim Drake had slid into his role with ease. The perfect little replacement, the better Robin, the golden boy who stole his family and wore it like armor. Jason had hated him for it. Resented him. Told himself Tim had never struggled the way he had.
OR:
Each BatFam member connecting with Tim, learning WHY he is the way he is. Steph/Cass, Jason, Damian, Dick, Duke, and Bruce, with introspection from Alfred

Summary
Jason Todd spent years clawing his way back from the grave, fueled by rage, vengeance, and the cold instinct to survive. He never expected to find someone who made life worth more than blood and retribution.
Tim Drake, brilliant and tireless, has always lived for the mission—but somewhere along the way, he stopped living for himself. He’s exhausted, burning out, and hiding it well… until Jason sees through the cracks.
When a series of coordinated attacks target members of the Batfamily, Tim and Jason are forced to work together in close quarters. But the real danger might be what’s happening between them: the way Tim flinches from affection, the way Jason throws himself in harm’s way when Tim’s watching, and the quiet truth neither of them can admit—that they’ve already saved each other once.
Now they just have to learn how to stay saved.

Summary
It was what a team did. They filled in for each other. They made each other stronger. And they helped each other any way they knew how. That included what could be considered tattling to parents, or bosses more like. Maybe. It didn't really matter which.
The Young Justice team is new and they don't know each other that well yet. So when Tim starts unhealthily obsessing over a case, a few of the members band together to get some help.

Summary
Words and numbers blur together, and Tim starts to think that maybe he should just put this one to the side and deal with it after a few hours of sleep. Those thoughts vanish as the overhead lights go out. Instantly on alert, he gropes under his desk for the collapsed bo staff hidden there.
Hands grab him from behind, yanking his arms out and around the back of his chair in a rough hold. “Ah, ah, ah, Timmers,” a familiar voice chides. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”
It’s Jason.
Rather than relaxing him, Tim struggles harder. If he’s here, then that means Dick is too.
Fuck.
