Summary
Bruce felt sick.
There had been rumors for years that the Drakes kept exotic pets, but he had never expected to find a merchild in a bare tank in the center of their ballroom, brazenly on display. The child was the focal point of the gala. Humans crowded around his tank, ooh’ing and ahh’ing, surrounding the kid from all angles.
The child, nauseatingly, did not react at all in the way Bruce would have expected. No, he was perfectly silent instead. Docile. Just swam in circles, over and over, and hovered near the glass when people beckoned him close.
He didn’t even flinch when they tapped the glass.
At one point, a woman twirled her fingers, and the child obediently spun in a slow circle in the water, fins flaring out as he did so.
“What a well-trained little pet,” Mrs. Anderson cooed. “What’s his name?”
“We call him Timothy,” Janet Drake said.

Summary
Tim shrugs. “I know his limits. Sometimes he just needs a little push in the right direction.”
“A push,” Damian echoes incredulously. “Jason Todd needs a push. The Red Hood. The same one who tried to kill you a couple years ago.”
“You’ve also tried to kill me, to be fair.”
“To be fair, it would not be wise for you to push me, either.”
-
After an injury benches Tim for a few months, he and Damian are forced to cohabitate until Tim recovers. Along the way Damian learns that there’s a lot he doesn’t understand about Tim Drake, starting with his total lack of self-preservation.

Summary
The shadowy shapes start to look familiar after a few more hours. Tim’s eyes flicker around in a dazed panic, expecting to see a person standing just out of the corner of his eye.
A familiar shape dressed in bright blue approaches and Tim tenses up.
“You’re not real,” he croaks.
His voice sounds absolutely wrecked.

Summary
“I’m not asking for excuses,” Batman hisses. “I am asking for you to follow my orders. You know the consequences. Do you think this is a joke?"
And now, that’s just an unfair thing to ask Tim. “No. No, I don’t. I’m sorry. I just--”
“You’re benched,” Batman says brusquely. “I won’t hear any arguing. You are benched until further notice.”
Tim shrinks in even further on himself and nods. If he opens his mouth to speak, he thinks he’ll just start crying.

“I’ll be right behind you,” Tim assures Steph, interrupting her.
Distress and resignation flicker briefly across her face before her expression shutters and she gives Tim a hard glare.
“You’d better. Or I’ll kill you myself.”
He flashes her a quick grin before bolting up the stairs toward the collapsed apartment.

Summary
Kon never pushed. He never demanded answers. He just accepted whatever Tim could give, however much or little. And that acceptance made the voice louder, somehow—because it meant Kon trusted him. It meant one day, Tim might have to trust Kon back.
He just didn’t think that day would have to come so soon.
-
or,
After a mission, Tim storms off after an argument with his family. Worried— because of his history with self-harm— they call Kon to keep an eye on him, just in case he does something he’ll regret.

Summary
The thug released him, and Tim’s head snapped forward, the sudden loss of support causing his chin to collide with his chest again. He felt dizzy, nauseous.
“Fuck you,” Tim said through his teeth, the words tight and raw.
“I wonder what you’ll see, Red Robin,” Scarecrow said, leaning back in, just far enough that Tim couldn’t even attempt a desperate headbutt. He sounded genuinely curious, like a scientist awaiting a rare reaction.
--
Red Robin gets dosed with fear toxin, and his coping mechanism gets twisted.

Summary
On the one hand, Tim rather enjoyed Pamela Isley. She was brilliant, and actually had a point about why she committed the crimes she did. Did he care for the actual crimes themselves? Not particularly, but he could at least understand her reasoning. As such, he didn't mind when he had to try to talk her down from whatever latest plant-filled rage she went on. Normally, the conversation would be simple enough, and he could get her back home and asleep before helping her out better in the morning. Unfortunately, it did mean that when even he couldn't talk her down, it always ended up particularly messy. This time, though, Tim didn't know if he'd be able to get away without everything falling apart.
