Observation: Tim’s the problem, and he always will be.
Conclusion: in situations in which is presence is allowed but not necessary, Tim shouldn’t stick around
or

Summary
The Vicomte and Vicomtesse will be good to him so long as he entertains them. When they grow bored, or when they see him for the devil he is, they will do to him as all the others have before them. He will be lucky if they show him the mercy of simply casting him out their door.
The Living Corpse may be a beast, but he is far from mindless. He knows the human race well, and he knows he is not part of it. The worst thing a creature like him can do is fall for their tricks. It will be less painful, less humiliating if he denies them the pleasure of taking him for a fool.
After being abused and violated for as long as he can remember, Erik can’t recognise kindness even when it’s staring him straight in the face.
Or, the AU where Christine and Raoul save a man in a cage. He doesn’t want their help, but they’re either too kind or too stupid to care.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
The HTP meme fill literally no one asked for!
The Winter Soldier may be a living weapon rather than a person, but it actually is allowed to want things. It mustn't get greedy and make too many requests, though; Hydra is already gracious and patient with its outrageous demands for frivolous luxuries such as warm bedding or the privilege of squandering half an hour on "free time." It knows full well that it must pay its masters for everything above and beyond the necessities that they provide.
Or, 5 times Bucky sold his body to Hydra agents +1 time he tried to pay someone in the aftermath.
READER DISCRETION ADVISED. THE TAGS & WARNINGS ARE THERE FOR A REASON. If this is not your bag, turn back now and let's pretend this never happened. Do not glorify, romanticise, or try at home.

Summary
A short, mean, and disbelieving laugh bounces around the kitchen. “You’re joking.” Jason’s laughter turns into an outright cackle, and he has to put his coffee mug down on the counter to avoid spilling it.
“Back off.” Despite wanting to, Tim can’t hide the fact that his voice shakes, but suddenly his grip doesn’t. “Jason, I swear—”
“You gonna point that thing at me? You don’t even know what to do with it.”
The older boy is too close. Far too close. Tim flinches back, raises the gun, and without thinking about it presses it under Jason’s jaw.
All of a sudden, neither of them can breathe.
Jason’s eyes harden, glancing at the finger hovering over the trigger.
After a moment, Jason speaks up, almost softly— with how close they are, his voice doesn’t need to carry far. His voice goes flat. “This is hilarious.” The tone says otherwise.
•·················•·················•
OR: Tim has PTSD after the Titans Tower attack, and secretly keeps a gun — just in case. With Jason back in Gotham, “just in case” starts to feel more and more and more inescapable.Series
