    Summary

    (The boy had just lied to Batman. The city had never seen a Robin so easily, so nonchalantly lie to their father figure.

    And the boy had lied for the sake of Crime Alley. Not to protect it, but to learn about it.)

     

    (Gotham trusted him a little more after that. They liked that the boy wasn’t a yes-man to the good, yet inherently biased bat. They liked that Robin was his own person.

     

    That Robin was a good person.)

    ...

    Or: Tim learned as much as he could in order to be the best Robin he could be.

    People notice this, and love him for it.

    Gotham loves him for it.

    Summary

    "Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”

    “Penelope?” Tim asked.

    “Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”
    --
    Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all.

    Summary

    title from the chapter-title ‘i am a priest forever’ of patrica lockwood’s priestdaddy

    Randy set down his toothbrush and ran a finger across the surface of his own jagged enamel, giving his reflection a weary once-over, contemplated if it was just his mind supplying how they felt slightly hooked, slightly conical.
