Summary
Talon only has one mission. One purpose in its life. That purpose is to protect the young Talon it has claimed as its family. Only Talon can't protect the child on its own. It can't stop the Court from killing the child. So Talon's only hope is to find outside help. Only the Bats are really bad at swearing they would protect 'it'.
Also, Talon would like to know who Tim is and why the bats keep calling it Tim?!
Also known as Talon(1) babysits a Talon(2) and to protect Talon(2), Talon(1) plans to throw Talon(2) at the bats and leave. Unfortunately, the bats don't agree with the 'never see Talon(2) agian' part of the plan or the part where Talon(1) has to go back.

Summary
Tim used to be a Talon. He's fought long and hard to be a normal functioning member of society. It's really hard to be a normal functioning member of society when every time you enter a gala, since your new dad is the richest man in Gotham, you see everyone in the Court of Owls who used to use and belittle you. So, Tim does the only thing he can, persevere.
Oh shit, is he getting attacked by the Court after said Gala? Good thing he has a new little brother to watch his back, because it's harder to resist orders the longer the night goes on.
Technically a sequel to Trim Your Talons, Little Robin. Do not have to read that for context.

Summary
Damian had a mission. It was his next step in life, to spread his wings and take flight into adulthood.

He hadn't been prepared for the three monsters masquerading as young men to melt from the shadows, let alone for them to kidnap him the moment he uttered the name “Bruce Wayne.”
“Bruce won’t help you.” Jay said with a shake of his head. “We won’t let him.”
“Why?” Damian demanded, unwilling to be held back from achieving his goal by some monstrous plebeians with no knowledge of—
“He helped us.”
Or: Damian is sent to Gotham, encounters Talons Dick, Jason, and Tim, who all refuse to let the same thing happen to him that happened to them.

Summary
In an alternate retelling of Tim Drake's Red Robin arc, Tim Drake grapples with the shadows of his past as both Joker Jr. and a former Talon of the Court of Owls. In the wake of Batman's seeming death, Tim steps into a darker role, confronting his twisted past while striving to maintain his sanity. But when Batman returns, Tim's struggle intensifies as he wrestles with his fractured relationship with Bruce Wayne, torn between loyalty, resentment, and the haunting remnants of the Joker's madness and the Court's control. Set in the same universe as For Nothing Contributes So Much to Tranquillise the Mind as a Steady Purpose (though no need to read), this story explores the fine line between heroism and the darkness that threatens to consume him.

Summary
Gotham burns; it’s light and color and it carves itself into Tim’s eyelids. He’s never seen so much color, so many smells and sounds and life. Gotham has a beating heart, beaten and black as it is, and Tim loves it. It is dark and bright and death and life, the paradoxical society of evil and stolen innocence and good and charity in technicolor, the stars covered and the sky glowing all the same. Gotham gives Tim hope; Gotham is the dark fighting for the right, the survival of light against all odds.
Tim aches for it; for a heart that beats and lungs that breathe and blood that bleeds in color. It’s unattainable. Tim is Timothy, is Leviathan, is crumpled-paper skin and stark black veins and eyes that glow blue in the dark and silent footsteps and a torn-out heart frozen and dead. His blood is made of ice. He is ice; Mother made it so.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tim's been dropped in Gotham. It's bright and colorful and horrific, and he wants so badly to be part of it. To be human. Robin lights up the night in a golden glow, and Tim gains a new fixation.
