Summary
"it is what it is, and it breaks my heart / ‘cause you and i are oceans apart."
Jason tells Tim it’ll never work—not because he doesn’t feel it, but because he does.
What begins as a quiet unravelling turns into something harder to bury when they’re assigned to a mission together and forced to confront everything they didn’t say. Between post-mission patch-ups, shared silences, viral rooftop photos, and the haunting weight of old grief, Tim and Jason slowly begin to rebuild what they tried to walk away from.
But love—real love—isn’t loud. It’s the silence after a near miss. The coffee left on the counter. The hand that doesn’t let go.
They were oceans apart once.
Now they’re learning how to stay.Series

Summary
Tim Drake’s identity as Red Robin is leaked to the public, and within hours, Conner Kent is in Gotham—punching a reporter on live TV. What follows is a PR nightmare, a rooftop kiss, and a relationship neither of them were ready to define. Now, with the press obsessed, the Batfamily watching, and feelings rising faster than either of them can fly, Tim and Kon have to figure out what this is—and whether it’s worth the chaos.
Featuring: gay panic, fan edits, awkward interviews, and a reporter with a broken nose.

Summary
In a universe where Batman refused to join the Justice League, Tim launches his forty-five step plan to prove that he, in fact, did not kill one Dominic Auteberry which involves convincing minorly reputable and newly transferred investigative journalist Conner Kent to write an article proving his innocence in the face of corrupt police officers and bribed news reporters. Though the inclusion of a possible serial killer, some unwilling interference from Superboy, and “Alvin” and Conner’s evolving relationship might turn forty-five steps into ninety-two but Tim can manage. Probably.

Summary
Tim looked back at the time travel device, a half-baked plan forming in his mind.
What if he could stop Jason from ever dying?
The more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed, after all, if Jason never died, then Bruce wouldn't gain that line of tension as a permanent fixture. Dick would get to have that closer brother relationship he always wanted for the two. Jason wouldn't be so bitter and angry, without Tim having any reason to become Robin, Jason wouldn't need to feel the sting of betrayal that came from being replaced, and wouldn't have the pit rage constantly at his brain. By the time Damian arrives, Jason would most likely have already moved on from Robin, or be at a point where he is already ready to give it up, and Damian would have no need to be quite as hostile, without anyone threatening his place as the "true Robin."
Really, it was a win-win situation for all parties.
~~
After taking a time travel device from a criminal, Tim has an idea on how to help everyone around him lead a happier life.
Everyone but him that is.
But since when has that ever mattered?

It's kind of hard to remember that when all his brothers want to do is kill each other, however when the situation calls for it, they can in fact work together and be a family.

Summary
"He had no idea what was going on—in that moment or with Jason at all. He wanted to ask, ‘What the hell is happening here?’ but he didn’t. Words—talking about their lives, their feelings—just wasn’t something they did, and this didn’t seem like the time to change that. So, instead, Tim just pressed his wind-chapped lips to Jason’s own, and just like that they were kissing"
set in in a world where tim and jason share a fire escape post-patrol in the early hours of the morning, and tim overthinks everything until he doesn't
