face the music
i spy with my little eye the consequence of my own actions
featuring my angst aversion override that is the "oh shit i fucked up" trope or the classic "oh yeah they're actually very much not okay"
but i am also weak so there's a lot of "angst with a happy ending"

Summary
“Hi,” she says in a breathless rush, then takes a moment to swallow and wet her lips. “I, uh, need your help?”
“Are you dying?”
“N-not exactly.”
“Then you don’t need me,” comes Jason’s lazy, uninterested reply.
The call ends with a click.

Steph doesn't know what's more embarrassing: that she's been locked in a closet during a party, or the fact that her "friends" aren't really her friends.And to top it all off, Jason's the only one who can come rescue her.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
Tim doesn't sleep much, and as a result he hallucinates sometimes. He keeps hallucinating a pair of green eyes in the dark.
At the same time he struggles with his place in the fractured batfamily, and tries chasing the Red Hood, who surely is completely unrelated to these green eyes he keeps seeing... right?cue kidnappings, bad decisions, and a whole lot of food!
a bit angsty, but with a happy ending because i REFUSE to write sad ones. title is from "people got a lotta nerve" by neko case :)

Summary
"You know I’m gonna kill you, don’t you?”
Carefully, he nodded. He tried not to swallow.
“You’re not gonna fight me?”
“No,” he whispered, raspy and true. If this was the price to pay for having a family, he was willing.
Aka, my obligatory Titan's Tower fic
Aka, Tim gives up.

Summary
The last time Klaus saw his siblings was at Allison and Patrick's wedding. A lot had changed since then; including the not-so-accidental, irreversible loss of his sight.
There's no time to tell them that, though. Not with the return of their long-presumed-dead brother and the impending apocalypse. Plus, it doesn't matter. He's got Ben as a good seeing-eye ghost.

Summary
Never coming home to an empty house might sound nice in theory, but it's less pleasant when the people waiting for you are the dead that refuse to leave. Klaus always expects some guests and he figures today would be no different when they head home after the lovely family dinner at the restaurant. He's right. Kinda.
The little girl in the summer dress standing in their living room like a displeased mother waiting for her kids to come home after passing curfew isn't what he expected to see though.

Summary
Klaus is lying unconscious, unmoving, covered in bubbles, his skin a deadly white color, his head lolled back against the rim of the tub, his eyes open but unseeing, his lips oddly discolored.
He looks dead.
