Summary
Big smile, hands on his hips, eyes lit up behind that black mask.
“I’m Robin!” Tim squeals, but it sounds nothing like him. His voice matches his size and demeanor, high pitched and soft and…happy. He lets out a giggle, flexing his arms in the mirror, giving a kick and a belated hi–yah.
“That’s not a Robin uniform,” Bruce points out belatedly. It’s not the part Jason was noticing, but he’s right. It’s thin cloth, and too loose. The right colors and shapes, Jason supposes, but still, there's something off about it.
“Well, that and he hasn’t met us, yet,” Dick points out. “He’s not old enough.”
“But this is supposed to be his first day as Robin," Damian argues. Jason agrees—something is very, very wrong.

Summary
Direct sequel to A Flash of Black
It was a quiet day, until an alarm blared, warning of suddenly weak or non-existent vitals in one of the Gotham vigilantes. It was a quiet day until Tim and Bruce were informed that Jason had gone after Dick, who had been kidnapped without either of them realizing it. It was a quiet day until the two of them traveled to a small cabin and found Jason, dead on the concrete floor of a bunker beneath the cabin.
Tim can't bring himself to leave the body, even if he knows it's not likely that Jason will come back this time.

Summary
Tim was always cunning, but in that quick-witted, charming way he had. This cunning was Tim giving him the same look Jason had seen in the mirror after he had stuffed ten mutilated heads in a duffel bag. The same reflection Jason saw in himself after he had slit Tim's throat, sent mad by the Lazarus Pit.
That was the moment he knew - whoever this was, it wasn't his brother.
---
Something is wrong with Tim. Jason is the only one to notice.

Summary
Honestly, he usually enjoyed Dick’s affinity for physical touch, but he was tired. And the pressure in his chest never really left. If Dick would just stop touching him, telling him what he can and can’t do-
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Dick’s voice cut trough Tim’s thoughts.
