Summary
“ It’s both uncomfortable and comfortable to know how everyone around you is feeling at all times. There are times where Tim is able to do good, able to soothe aches in those he loves nearby, pick up the drop in mood in someone and engage in a familiar comforting routine, or see and feel the mental string needed to be pulled in an interrogation.
Though there is one person Tim can’t understand, can’t pick apart, and can’t fix—And it’s himself. “
OR: Tim Drake is an empath, and he avoids the consequences

Summary
“ His vice was one that could easily be held between two fingers. It could be ignited and set into motion with the click of a lighter and a cupped hand surrounding the flame. Cigarettes were a recurring item in his life. His father used to step out during light arguments with his mother for a ‘smoke break’ and return with an apologetic look. The old man at the corner store with kind eyes and a crooked smile often held a cigarette in his hand or patted the pack of cigarettes in his pocket as a nervous fidget. The pack of kids that first taught Billy to trust his instincts, who taught him when to run and hide, stole packs out of the back pockets and bags of adults. When Billy would shift his feet or look longingly at restaurants and at the people who were eating while walking by, they would offer out a clenched hand holding a cigarette. They told him it’ll ease his appetite. ”
OR: Billy picked up smoking at a young age and hasn’t been able to drop the habit. Bruce notices.

Summary
Then he sees her, in front of him is none other than Bruce's kind of fling, kind of girlfriend, Talia al Ghul and she has a face of curiosity as she looks all over Jason, making him feel more than nude. Which he is, he realizes awkwardly and feels embarrassed by the fact, still Talia talks and his attention gets pulled on her who looks… Smaller than he remembers.
“Those are some changes I didn't expect.” She mumbles, as she puts a cloth that is really soft around Jason, which makes him realize how freezing the room is, even if that's only because he is nude. He can still only ask himself, how is he here? Last he remembers he was-
He was crawling out of his grave, fuck, he died, he died! He-
Or, The Lazarus Pit also changed some other problems Jason had and didn't only made him stronger.

Summary
Sometimes, Tim isn’t sure he’s real.
Tim isn’t sure when he started altering his appearance. Maybe he always knew how to do it. Maybe he learned how watching his mother in front of the vanity in her room, blue silk dressing gown wrapped tightly around brittle bones as she peered critically at her reflection, widening her irises ever so slightly, narrowing the bridge of her nose.
A good transformation, she’d told him once, is not over exaggerated, or particularly striking. It must appear completely natural at all times, or the trick is ruined. The game is up.
Tim’s nose is a little crooked. He doesn’t remember how long it’s been that way.

Summary
"And maybe Jason would have gone through with those plans. Maybe he would have cut off a bunch of heads, taken over the drug trade, enraged Black Mask, gotten Joker out of prison, and faced off against his
fatherBatman in a building filled with explosives—But on his first night back, what does he see?
The fucking Batmobile, parked in an alley near the edge of the Narrows, no Batman in sight. And abruptly, Jason is filled with an unstoppable urge that has nothing to do with the Pit, and everything to do with being a Grade A Little Shit.
Luckily, there’s a hardware store only a few blocks away. He pays with cash. Quality tire iron and steel scissor car jack, $33.99. What a steal."

Jason finds a new coping mechanism post-resurrection, and it changes a few things.
