Summary
Tim's dad is dead, killed by a boomerang to the chest, and Tim is an orphan now. He knows Bruce would adopt him if needed but he couldn't possibly impose himself on the Wayne's more than he already has. It's okay though, because he has a plan for this, he just needs someone to play the role of his estranged "Uncle Eddie".
Except... the guy he hires is weirdly concerned about his well being and Tim can't figure out why.
Meanwhile, Jason Todd is forced to reevaluate his plans for his debut as Red Hood, because, as it turns out, his replacement is a suicidal idiot who can't be trusted to stay out of trouble.
OR
Tim Drake fails to recognize Jason Todd, back from the dead, and hires him to be his Uncle Eddie to avoid getting adopted by Batman. Somehow this ruins everyone's plans.

Summary
Cass's best friend is gone. There's no one to help her figure out what real girls are supposed to act like, no more laughter to drown out the whispers in her head that tell her she'll never be anything more than a weapon.
Dick has lost everything that mattered to him, and worse—he's crossed the one line Bruce drilled into him from childhood. He's not even sure who he's supposed to be anymore. He's not Batman's partner—hasn't been for years. He's not a Titan either. He's just... Dick Grayson, and he's starting to think that might not be enough.
OR
Cass moves to Blüdhaven to escape Steph's ghost and somehow adopts a depressed acrobat. Dick's life just fell apart but he's still out here teaching basic life skills and that your entire personality can't just be "fights crime." Unsurprisingly, this doesn't stop either of them from being absolute disasters.

Summary
“I didn’t know what to say,” he mutters, voice barely a whisper. “I still don’t.”
Bernard lets out a short, bitter laugh. He runs a hand through his messy blond hair, shaking his head as if trying to shake off the weight of the moment. “Guess that makes two of us.” His smile flickers, but it’s gone too quickly. “But hey, at least I got to practice my stand-up routine texting a brick wall.”
Tim’s lips twitch despite himself. “That bad?”
“Oh, the worst,” Bernard says, his voice light, but there’s a sharpness behind it, like he’s trying to hide something. “Turns out ghosting isn’t a great audience. Zero applause, lots of awkward silences.”
