    Summary

    “You’re not my son,” Bruce bit out again, this time louder. 

    The words shouldn’t have hurt.

    They did.

    But they shouldn’t have. 

    "Stop acting like you are."
    ------------------
    The words Bruce uttered in the batcave that day shaped Tim Drake's life more than either of them would have expected.

    Summary

    The boy thinks of his house up in flames. Then, of the charred corpses his family left behind, his shameless prayers, and the silence they earned him. He shoves down the hope in his chest and whispers, “No deity ever answers.”

    He sees a pair of boots step forward to stand beside him. “Mr. Fool does.”

    “Why?”

    When the boy turns, Merlin wears a fond, knowing smile on his face. “Because God loves humanity, little birdie.”

    Or: Gehrman Sparrow finds himself under the overwhelming grace of a God.

    Summary

    Mr. Fool merely raises ‘His’ hand. With a clip of ‘His’ two fingers, an overturned black top hat adorned with brilliant red feathers flickers into existence. ‘He’ extends it out.

    Eagerly, the boy reaches out to take the hat only to catch sight of the potion glass nestled inside, one churning with the colors of the sunset. He lifts his head with widened eyes.

    “Your name shall be Merlin Hermes—” Mr. Fool says with a soft smile, ‘His’ words branding themselves into the boy’s soul—“a magician born from a wishing well.”

    Or: how Mr. Fool grants the wish of a dying boy.
