    Summary

    Tim is good at galas.

    No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

    ---

    Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.

    Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.

    Summary

    Tim Drake lives a perfectly good life. During the day, he's a freshman at Gotham Academy. At night, he surveils criminal activity and sends detailed analyses to Commissioner Gordon. If he's lucky, he might even get a photo of a Bat or two. He even writes increasingly popular LinkedIn articles about vigilantes and the criminal justice system under the pseudonym Jeffrey Anderson.

    Gotham is the one that needs help, not Tim.

    Bruce Wayne has a thing or two to say about that.

    "D-dad?" Where was...he had to tell his dad he was sorry. He should have been able to save her, he should have been better
    "Tim, can you hear me?" Dick was cupping his face with both hands, rubbing soothing thumbs across his cheeks. "Tim, you have to tell me what's wrong, tell me how we can help."

    Summary

    The valet opens the door as he places a ticket under the windshield, a hot breeze lazily snaking its way into the backseat. Then, he climbs out and shuts the door behind him, and the air falls as still as a crumpled quilt.

    He doesn’t so much as glance at the backseat window as he walks away, leaving Tim alone to wait.

    And that’s… that’s probably fine! His parents did say that going to a gala with them was something for big kids to do, and he already knows big kids are supposed to be able to be able to be apart from their parents without throwing a fit, so maybe this is why. Maybe waiting like this is part of every grown-up event, and that’s why he needed to be a big boy before he could come with them.

    So yes. He can be a big boy. He can wait, alone.

    It’s even kind of exciting! He’s not sure he’s ever been completely alone, without even a nanny nearby.

    He just… well, he wishes they could have left the AC on while he waits.

    “He broke my camera!” Tim wails, incensed. “Not a crack, not a dent; it’s nothing but a pile of glass because he broke it!

    “And his ankle,” Robin adds.

    And my ankle!

    “...I accidentally hit him with my car,” Batman reluctantly offers when Dr. Thompkins raises her eyebrow at him, causing her to choke on her next breath.

    Summary

    It feels amazing. The wind is blowing through Tim’s hair and he’s smiling so big that his cheeks hurt. Harder and harder he pedals down the sidewalk, picking up speed from the slight downward hill as he goes.

    He’s doing it — he’s actually riding a bike!

    Then, a little ways down, Tim notices another boy on the sidewalk, wobbling unsteadily on a bike of his own. He doesn’t look much bigger than Tim, but his bike is way taller, to the point that he’s sort of standing up on the pedals. He looks like he’s concentrating super hard on what he’s doing, the handlebars wobbling side to side as he tries to stay up.

    That’s about the point when Tim realizes he never learned how to stop.

    Or, in which seven-year-old Timothy Drake bumps into Bruce Wayne’s new foster kid. Literally.

    Summary

    When Tim becomes Robin, he remembers his mother’s words: The Bat hates metahumans. But Batman needs a Robin, and Gotham needs Batman, so Tim will act as Robin at whatever cost. It’s a necessary endeavor, and he can hide his metahuman nature well enough.

    It’s a different story when someone he holds close is trapped in the medbay, healing so slowly Tim fears they won’t heal at all. Those nights, past midnight’s hour, there is no one to call Tim out on his lies. Tim loves his family; he will not let them hurt when he can help.

    It’s all fine and dandy until Tim is the one that’s hurt, and there is no one to sing sweet comforts to little Tim.

    Or, metahuman!Tim Drake au where Tim inherits his mother’s rapunzel-esque ability, allowing him to sing wounds away. 5 times Tim sings to someone, 1 time someone sings to Tim (and a few extra, as a treat)

    Summary

    Jason didn’t know when it started. If he thought about it, he remembered the bright light that surrounded his mom in her last days. After that, he noticed the way some people lit up, outlined in a growing brightness that emitted from the edges of their beings. The brighter the individual, the closer they were to death.

    At the parties that Bruce insisted on dragging him to, he expected the dim light from the tired old businessmen who drank too much and were limping closer to their ends, glowing a little more every time Jason saw them.

    What he did not expect was for the 12-year-old neighbor kid to light up like a damn Christmas tree the second Jason laid his eyes on him.

    Summary

    As a kid, Duke rarely ever got sick.

    It was actually something of a running joke amongst his friends and classmates. They’d all be out at least a few times a year for the standard assortment of head colds and ear infections and stomach bugs, while Duke would spend three straight days getting coughed on by his lab partner and still finish off the semester with perfect attendance. He managed to dodge class-wide outbreaks of chickenpox, pink eye, and head lice. Once in fourth grade, he’d skinned both his knees playing freeze tag during recess, then had to explain to the baffled nurse who’d cleaned the blood off and applied Transformers bandaids that, no, he wasn’t new to the district, he’d actually been at that school since kindergarten, and yes, it was very nice to finally meet her.

    Of course, the flip side to rarely ever falling ill is that whenever something does slip past his body’s defenses, he feels woefully unprepared...
