    Summary

    Ra’s face is frozen on the screen, lips curled upward in smug, victorious pleasure.

    Tim doesn’t know how to look away.

    Dick is moving, grabbing Damian where he’s come up to see what’s going on as well. He puts his body between the boy and the screen, ignoring his startled protest. “Jason,” he snaps. “Take him into the manor, now.”

    Tim lets out a shuddery breath, grabbing the back of the second chair and dropping into it, hand still linked with Cass’s.

    His chest feels hollow.

    “Tim - ” Bruce says hoarsely, but he cuts him off.

    “Where did you get this footage?” he asks, voice flat and empty.

    Bruce swallows. “It was sent to me,” he says quietly.

    He huffs a laugh. It’s an awful, cored-out sound. “By Ra’s,” he murmurs.

    Summary

    There’s a few rings, then the phone picks up.

    “Wayne Residence.”

    That’s funny, Tim thinks, Mrs. Mac doesn’t sound like herself.

    --
    On a hot July evening while home alone, eight-year-old Tim gets a fever. He means to ask Mrs. Mac for help — but ends up accidentally calling Alfred Pennyworth. Somehow, even in sickness, he wins all the hearts of the Wayne family in one fell swoop.

    Summary

    And okay, fine, Tim can admit it: his parents paying off a school official to circumvent social services just to see him was sketchy at best—probably illegal at worst. They really shouldn’t have done it. Bruce and Alfred would be furious to find out that they had. Not to mention Jason, who would go absolutely apeshit.

    But–

    But it was also just really fucking sweet of them.

    Tim hasn’t felt this loved, this cherished, this fought for and desired by his parents in years.

    Doesn’t he at least owe it to them to hear them out?

    ---

    Three months into Tim’s foster placement with the Waynes, Jack and Janet Drake decide they want back into their son’s life.

    Summary

    Two months into Tim’s new foster placement with the Waynes, he wakes up feeling kind of lousy.

    His stomach started hurting sometime after dinner the night before, which he initially chalked up to the heaviness of Alfred’s chicken fettuccine; that man does not skimp on the heavy cream. It’s why he only ever makes it when Dick—the family’s resident lactose intolerant dumbass, as Jason so lovingly puts it—is confirmed to be staying in Bludhaven for the evening.

    (Not that it ever works. Dick’s been known to sniff out leftovers from the fridge days later like a bloodhound, consequences to his delicate digestive system be damned.)

    Anyway...

    ---

    Or, in which Tim gets Sick™, but actually reaches out for help for once, and in return his new family comes in clutch.

    Summary

    Suddenly a new voice, gruffer, deeper, says, “What are you doing?” and Tim goes cold all over. That’s Bruce. That’s Bruce speaking a full sentence for the first time today and of course it’s when Tim is hurling his guts out in the bathroom and didn’t want him to know about it.

    Shit.

    “Picking the lock,” Jason says, like it’s obvious. “Didn’t think you’d appreciate me breaking the door down. I can, if you want. I am absolutely fine with that option actually.”

    –--

    Bruce is in a bad mood after a case doesn’t go entirely to plan, and Tim is determined not to do anything to make it worse.

    Unfortunately, his shrimp allergy didn’t get that memo.
