Summary
The first time Tim gets kidnapped, he's four years old.
His parents are out in Malaysia on a dig. They have been for the past four months and two nannies--the last of which is yet to be replaced. So he's home alone when the most stereotypical kidnapper van ever pulls into his driveway.
Tim, at that point in time, had yet to actually know what kidnapper stereotypes were, so he thought the van was just ugly instead of suspicious. He also had a surprising lack of stranger danger talks from... anybody. His best guess is that every nanny just assumed either his parents or the nanny before them had given him the talk and left it at that. It's not like he was out and about to be talking to strangers in the first place.
So when a strange man walked up to the front door and said, "Hey, kiddo! Your parents asked us to bring you to the park. Why don't you get in the van?" Tim had simply gotten in the van.
"This feels too easy," one of them murmurs to the driver. "Where's the nanny?"
Tim speaks up, "He got fired. He's, um-" He tries to remember the word his mom used when they fired him. "Stupid." Close enough.(Or: Tim gets kidnapped and things spiral just a little)

Summary
Slowly— more slowly than he probably should— Tim lets himself glance to the hallway leading away from the door. Sure enough, there's a large blood trail, splattered over the walls and floor, that leads right to one of Riddler's henchmen.
Tim hesitantly makes his way over, pressing a finger to their neck to feel for a pulse.
Nothing.
He readjusts his fingers to check again.
And again.
A third time.
The result doesn't change, no matter how many times he moves his fingers to try at a different angle or location or pressure.

Summary
Tim mimes talking at Tam, rolling his eyes as Ra's drones on. "I did come to see you," he lies as soon as the man gets all of his— whatever the hell he was saying out of the way. "You showed me your tigers. Why do you have tigers? Is it just about keeping wild animals or is it, like, an emotional thing? You seem more like a lion guy. Or maybe a panther."
There's a long silence from Ra's, and Tim uses the opportunity to look over some business email or another. Honestly horrible deal, but he's tempted to entertain it just to fuck with— Tim squints at the name on the email— Mr. Spencestar. Hm.
"You did not come to see me," Ra's says finally. "You have not even left Gotham—"
"Oh, no," Tim fights down a bout of laughter. "Are you alright? Your memory is usually better than this."
OR. Tim gaslight, gatekeep, girlbosses his way to immortality [Check updated tags and warnings!]

Summary
“What’s wrong this time?” he breathes into the crook of Christian’s neck, arching into the nails that dig into his back.
“I don’t know,” Christian tells him. Every single time.
The song and dance is exactly the same, and Sam’s not even sure he minds anymore.
It’s a kind of devotion Sam hasn’t felt before, exploring Christian’s body like this. He has a map of every scar, mole, and divot tucked away somewhere in the back of his mind. He could recognize this body from any angle and any distance. Sam feels almost high with it. Devotion, maybe. Loyalty. Like a dog told to heel.
Collar me, he wants to beg. Leash me. Chain me up and point my teeth at your enemies, I’ll come back covered in blood.
An unfinished snippet of something I was writing for my OCs 👍

Summary
After most of Gotham is destroyed by an alien invasion, Jason and Dick must take de-aged Tim and Damian to find a new home in the aftermath. Not knowing the duration of their stay—or any place to settle under the radar—the Batboys find themselves in a small town.
How will they cope with daily life in the middle of nowhere Ohio, you ask? Well, they don’t know either; but one thing is certain, their lives are never simple.
Trigger Warning: implied past child abuse!

Summary
Set pre-lightning strike. After being reprimanded about the man in yellow by a disbelieving Joe one time too many, Barry decides to leave the CCPD behind him. 600 miles behind, to be exact.
He could apply to be SCPD’s new forensic tech, but that wouldn’t really be leaving things behind. And the man in yellow who always appears in Barry’s dreams keeps him awake in time for night shifts, anyway.
Which works out in his favor, since the nightclub Verdant has a job opening.

Summary
“I killed him.” With shaking a hand, Tim pointed at the man breathing unsteadily on the ground. The pool of blood beneath his head was growing larger. “I hit him too hard, I didn’t mean to, it was an accident!” He was rambling, he knew, but this was bad.
“What?” Jason sounded genuinely perplexed, but also angry. Though, Tim supposed in his half-dazed mind, Jason always sounded vaguely angry. “What the fuck are you talking about, Replacement?”
“Bruce,” Tim gasped out. “He’s— he’s gonna hate me. I’m sorry, I’m sorry—”
“Hey!” Jason’s sharp bark snapped Tim back to himself. He was shaking, but Jason’s hand was steady on his shoulder. “Baby bird. Look at me.”
“I killed him!” Tim jerked away from Jason, but the older man held him firmly. “I don’t wanna get kicked out, I can’t go through that again—”
Jason didn’t let him finish. With a swing of his arm and a deafening gunshot, Jason buried a bullet in the man’s head.
“There,” he said, shrugging. “You didn’t kill him. I did.”
Tim was hyperventilating.
