    Summary

    Kon-el's entry into the Royal Family is an upset. He changes the hierarchy and whispers that he could assassination the Crown Prince Jon roam the castle halls.

    Kon's also 13 and desperately trying to find his place in the viperous world of the royal court. He's hoping that training a taur, a wild and whipsmart colt from the Drake stables, will be just the thing to show everyone he's someone to be taken seriously.

    But taurs are not easy creatures to handle. They are strong and smart and not willing to be led by the weak-willed. His father Kal-El might have the strongest bond in the kingdom with his taur, Bruce, but that's no guarantee Kon will too.

    -----

    Tim has been brought to a strange place.

    He's been taken from the place he lived and told that he was to be the seat of a little prince. They put him in reins and saddles and expected him to bow down. He will not bow down. But also... he doesn't know what to do. His herd is gone. His mother is gone. He's alone. Except for the other taurs, the two brothers, Dick and Jason, and the frightening huge, Bruce. They offer him a family but... is this all a trick for his obedience?

    Summary

    Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?

    Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”

    From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.

    Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

    Summary

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. Gotham stays Gotham even with some people off the board and others stepping in to places where they shouldn't be.

    Capes, criminals, and communities adjust, and the clock carries on.

    (In which a young Gotham City changed Tim Drake, and Alvin Draper changes Gotham City back)

    Summary

    “For the record, I totally didn’t send this,” Jason declares, resting his fists judgmentally on his hips and wrinkling the bridge of his nose as he takes in the envelope’s exterior details. “I wouldn’t embarrass myself by printing the address for Wayne Manor in Comic Sans. And I definitely wouldn’t use whatever fresh hell that return address is printed in.”

    Taking the bagged envelope in hand again, Bruce moves to the Batcomputer and pulls up the folder of fonts on the system. He glances between the envelope and the sample screen for the font he’d already suspected would be a match.

    But clocking the font name gives him a great deal of pause. “Jokerman,” he finally declares in a growl through clenched teeth.

    Tim, as it turns out, may not be Jack Drake’s son, but Bruce Wayne’s already got kids he picked out personally. That’s okay though, because Tim’s got a plan for how to deal with this revelation—it’s not like he needs acknowledgement from a second father that doesn’t want him, anyway.
