Trust Fall (Doubt You'll Catch Me) by Lovechraft

Summary
It sucked that Tim couldn't trust his family. They had either been his abusers or bystanders, but even when he tried to take himself off their hands, they clung to him like a sticky residue. Trapped, he felt like a mouse beneath a cat's paw, and he knew the only escape would be a clean-cut break with no room for interpretion.
Somehow, they made room for interpretation.
“Bruce,” Tim rasped, his discarded Red Robin suit a thousand pound weight in his hands, clean and ready to go in its case. “You don’t even *like* me.”
The truth dangled between them like a spider’s web clinging to separate walls.To no one’s shock, Batman said nothing. The only sounds in the cave were the shuffling of bats and Tim’s bike rumbling softly at the entrance, waiting patiently for him to make his escape.

Summary
He tried. He kept trying. He reached out, again and again, but no one was reaching back. No one noticed.
Until, eventually, he couldn't try anymore.
It was all as it should be.
Bruce had become a better father. A better man.
But not everything could change.
That, Tim thought, was why Bruce never called him his son.
Because at the end of the day, even if Tim considered him his father, he would never be Bruce’s son.

Summary
Tim finds a letter from Jason a year after he beats Tim half to death and dipped from the radar. Tim opens the letter six years later, it contains Jason's heartfelt apology and an offer to meet if Tim so needs it. At this point, Red Hood had never resurfaced after the explosion he set off with Joker and Batman.
Tim takes up Jason's offer to meet. Jason had become a completely changed man. Jason's eyes are blue instead of teal, he has a peaceful smile that he gives freely. Jason Todd seems happy at the Red Poppy Orphanage that he built.
After further research so that Tim can slide in an 'anonymous donation', things unravel, casting doubts at everything Tim saw.
This is Jason's story, told from Tim's perspective.
