Summary
“It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”
“I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.
“Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”
With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.
Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

Summary
When Lady Enid Kantor, self-appointed travelling inspector of Albion, makes a visit to Camelot, Merlin's world is thrown upside down. Secrets are unravelled, truths put on record, and the promise of change is palpable in the air. However, when Arthur, now king, invites the old lady to stay, Merlin has to face the fact that once you move forward, you can rarely go back, and to gain something great, you must dare to lose something good.

Summary
It feels amazing. The wind is blowing through Tim’s hair and he’s smiling so big that his cheeks hurt. Harder and harder he pedals down the sidewalk, picking up speed from the slight downward hill as he goes.
He’s doing it — he’s actually riding a bike!
Then, a little ways down, Tim notices another boy on the sidewalk, wobbling unsteadily on a bike of his own. He doesn’t look much bigger than Tim, but his bike is way taller, to the point that he’s sort of standing up on the pedals. He looks like he’s concentrating super hard on what he’s doing, the handlebars wobbling side to side as he tries to stay up.
That’s about the point when Tim realizes he never learned how to stop.

Or, in which seven-year-old Timothy Drake bumps into Bruce Wayne’s new foster kid. Literally.

Summary
Tim really thought Mr. Wayne’s party was going to be more exciting.
His parents always make such a big deal about going to galas. They take time off work to get ready, dress up all nice in their fancy clothes, and quiz each other on the names and personal details of all the other guests who are coming so that they can do their networking.
(Tim has learned that ‘networking’ means drinking champagne with important people and laughing at all of their jokes, even when they’re not funny.)
—
Or, in which six-year-old Timothy Drake attends his first gala, tries stuffed mushrooms, gets some first-hand experience with the Heimlich maneuver, and expands his social network, not necessarily in that order.Series
