i see you as an equal (with our equally dubious morals) by faithms

Summary
Dick… is aware. He’s aware that he’s not doing well. He’s aware that Tim isn’t doing well. Hell, he’s aware that Alfred isn’t doing well.
What with Bruce being… well…
He’s aware.
But, as he stares at his little brother telling him that Bruce is alive, he can’t help but feel anything but relief. In fact, he feels a lot of bad feelings about it, and then very quickly adds guilt to those bad feelings since he can’t think of anything positive to say.
Because he’s aware that he’s not well. And that Tim isn’t well. And that Alfred isn’t well.
But they weren’t well before Bruce died, either.
------
OR Dick believes Tim about Bruce being lost in time. But believing isn't the issue.Series

Summary
It ends with the Bats freezing, as if they had heard something horrible, before turning to stare at the collapsed building. It ends with the Bats sitting at the edge of the rubble that was once a building, seemingly trying to get closer to the one trapped underneath. It ends with Nightwing singing brokenly, the other Bats humming along amidst tears. It ends with the end of the song, with sobs of grief and screams of pain. It ends with everyone nearby realising that one of the Bats who had been there was missing.

Summary
Breathing deep, he adds almost conversationally, "Is Superman on world? I know Superboy is off dimension hopping with Impulse at the moment." He laughs just the tiniest bit with a shaky, crooked smile even if no one can see him.
Barbara just murmurs as she clicks, "No. Main JL went off-world a few hours ago. They left early for the mission cause Lantern heard something fishy."
"That's a shame," Steph adds sympathetically. Tim even hears Cass hum in agreement.
Tim runs his hands around him gently, to feel all the concrete and rubble that surrounds him. The conversation goes on without him, a buzz in his ears really. No holes or spaces. The air is already thinning.
"That is a shame," Tim responds belatedly, almost a little floaty but not quite.

Summary
"...because he tried to kill you? And you guys don't get along? And you two both make it very clear all the time that you hate each other?"
Tim's eyes widen a little as he rocks back the tiniest bit, "Why would that- what? We have dinner every two weeks! We do each other's patrols when the other is busy with out of Gotham business all the time! I have literally no idea where you got that impression!"
Now Dick is the one tilting his head while Bruce is the one squinting his eyes.
"You literally pushed him off a roof three days ago after he shot you in the arm."
Tim still doesn't get it. "So? It was a rubber bullet and there was a filled dumpster below his ledge. We then went back to my place and ate enchiladas. What do want from me?"

Summary
In a blink, Tim realizes he is in fact- not where he is supposed to be.
It could be the fact that he was previously in his bedroom and yet, is now in a warehouse. Assumably one on the east docks, he can tell by the smell. It could be the fact that he is wearing clothes that aren’t quite- but very close to -pooling around him like someone dressed him up in clothing meant for someone half a foot taller. Or that he shrunk.
Undoubtedly, however, the biggest clue was the man in front of him holding a gun pointed straight at him. A gun that doesn’t look all magical but definitely isn’t just technology, along with its wielder giving him the most shocked face he has ever seen.
Tim, who prides himself on being pretty fast on the uptake, absorbs all of this information in a few seconds and with all the sudden adrenaline within him decides to focus in on one thought: He is not supposed to be here.
With all the experiences a twelve year old can have after following (read: stalking) dangerous vigilantes on rooftops with no outside help or training, he decides to fall back on what he knows and what he’s comfortable with: running the fuck away.

Summary
He opens his eyes and watches as an older man immediately notices him and starts looking him over, "Master Tim, how are you feeling?" He asks with slightly furrowed brows.
Which coincidentally makes the noise stemming from arguing voices elsewhere quiet as everyone in the room seems to look over at him- some in more concern than others he notices absently.
Tim (he assumes) on the other hand feels pretty… neutral? Rolling his shoulders around, he goes through a routine of checking over his body parts before concluding that he's physically totally fine.
Besides the fact he has no idea who any of these people are.
Or that he didn't know his name until the older man in front of him said it.
"I feel pretty okay actually. Why? What happened?"

Summary
"Cass." Dick calls her name worriedly as she opens her eyes.
Giving him a soft look- quickly there's so little time to memorize to breathe to love- she turns her attention back to Bruce's recap of the situation.
Watching all her brothers around the batcomputer, she can't help just for a moment to feel bitter about being told last. Yes she was on a mission but she should have been here sooner. It's been days, they should have told her-
She takes a deep breath.
"-e's been in a coma for four days. We've already had Zatanna, J'onn, and Leslie all do as many tests as they can but everything's come back inconclusive-"

Letters and Love Languages by faithms

Summary
“Great. Now that you two are awake, we can begin.”
They open their eyes to look at him, but he isn’t very concerned with the acidity pointed towards him. After all, he’s gotten used to Batman’s and the kid’s- well Robin’s- just doesn’t hit as hard when he’s used to the more personal anger of the previous one.
He should check on Nightwing as he’s calling himself these days.
Opening the letter that showed up on his pillowcase this morning, seriously what the fuck? How did someone break into his phone AND his place?
Maybe he’s getting old. Or complacent.
He starts reading off the letter, “Good evening. You don’t know me, but I know you.” Creepy. Nice. He ignores the confused looks from the two in front of him. “This isn’t from me, obviously,” he clarifies, which clears up the confusion even if not the anger.
Slade just shrugs. “I’ve hired Deathstroke, AKA Slade Wilson, to kidnap you without harm and take you to Warehouse 14 by the East Docks. He is being paid to read this letter to you, and then after he will leave, again, without any intentions of harm.” The kid looks at him dubiously, but Slade doesn’t have much of a response.
That is what he’s being paid for after all.

Summary
"It was a game," Tim smiled bemused to himself, "I think subconsciously I knew it wasn't a game… but you know when you're a kid and you still want to see the best in everyone. Cause of course all parents love their children just like the sky is blue and grass is green. That's what the movies and the books and the teachers and kids at school always said. So I wanted to play a game."
"I never really played hide and seek, but I heard some other kids talking about it- and well you know it sounded fun and like something you would do with family and it wasn't physically extenuating like tag or something so one day I decided to start playing." He stands up from stretching to start absentmindedly pacing.

Summary
Jason’s abrupt laugh breaks the stillness of the vicinity which is unfortunately followed by Damian sneering, “Oh please, Drake, anytime you speak I have to wonder if there’s any reason you still stick around-” but Jason just interrupts with, “Hey Tim what do you think of Damian?” with glee on his face.
Tim just tiredly stares at the wall before automatically, “I think he’s annoying, but I also think he’s really adorable when he’s playing with his animals or drawing and thinks he’s alone and acts like normal person instead of putting up a strong facade that he was forced to cultivate in such an abusive environment,” everyone stares at him for a second seconds in surprise and Damians specifically has wide eyes,
“Unfortunately, due to his maltreatment towards me, I end up with a lot of intrusive thoughts around him and now when I see him in the corner of my eye I get super angry and defensive due to paranoia he’ll try to kill me again. But then I think about how with one call I could accept Ra’s continual attempts to make me his Queen and then I would be his Grandmother and the idea of that really cracks me up.”

Summary
Batting the sun in his eyes, Tim squints angrily at his curtains before tilting his head in confusion. He thought he went to bed at the nest? Why was he in his old bedroom at the manor?
Rubbing the sand out of his eyes, he looks around in a distant curiosity.
Because he was in here just a few days ago to spend the night after an all hands on deck Arkham breakout, and yet his room looks like it did when he was a teenager. Like when he was still Robin.

Summary
"-ake, should we call someone?"
The buzzing softens and Tim focuses back onto the doctor.
The nice doctor with long brunette hair that he vetted extensively to the point he knows everything that he could possibly know about them.
His doctor.
He takes a deep breath and counts back from five.
5… there's a marble counter, a rolling chair, a light blue wall, his doctor's lab coat, and a wooden door.
4… he can feel his slacks he wore to work, the hard chair beneath him, the cool air, and the warmth of a hand holding his.
3… he can hear the doctor Humming, his own heartbeat, and the ticks of the clock on the wall.
2… the smell of antiseptic and mint are distinctive and easy to focus on.
1… he can taste the coffee he had this morning.
He takes a breath much easier than the last one.
Looking back at the doctor's brown, sympathetic eyes, he forces himself to stay in the moment.
"Okay. Tell me all my choices and everything I need to know."

Summary
Letting his body go tense with cold anger for the first time in his life, Tim takes the stairs to the top to speak with Barbara.
“Hey Tim! What’d ya need?” She greets him while she’s staring at her screens, presumably guiding the Birds of Prey on something or something else equally important in her very busy, too-filled schedule.
Ignoring her, he grabs the comfiest chair in the room and starts loudly moving it to be next to her station, while gathering the comfiest blankets he can find.
Sitting down in his newly acquired chair, he finally looks up to meet her confused eyes with determined fury in his own.
“I’m going to make this very clear. This is a call for attention. I need an hour or two of your undivided attention. I need you to listen to me, and not talk until the end. I need you to do this or I’m going to do something drastic like run away or burn down a building. Can you do this for me?”
Her widened eyes do not make any change to his composed demeanor and stern eyes.
The thing about never asking for something is that when you finally do, the smart people will listen.

A Chance Meeting by faithms

Tags
Summary
Between one second and the next, Tim appears crisscross in the middle of the table in the JL boardroom. Which wouldn’t be a problem since that’s where he was a second before… but is a problem because before there was only him and Batman yelling at him and now it looks like it’s the entire Justice League all sitting down in the middle of a meeting.
And also they look about 15 years younger.
“What the fu-” Oliver screeches, while Green Lantern falls out of his chair. Quite a few of the others end up jumping backwards or at least leaning away from him.
He guesses it’s a normal thing to do since he is apparently a random stranger who just appeared on their table in the supposedly very protected and secret Watchtower.
Tim can’t help but angrily glare at the wall in front of him for a few seconds before muttering while rubbing his temples, “God fucking dammit…”

Summary
"Rule number 1?"
"Presentation. You should never go somewhere without the foreknowledge and expertise of the appropriate appearance. Make-up, hair, clothes, and posture can make or break any situation."
Cupping his face and moving it around in a circular motion - he knows it's just to make him laugh instead of checking to find any imperfections like she's pretending it is - she smirks at him before nodding encouragingly and asking, "Rule number 2?"
"Strategy. Pick out your goal, and figure out exactly who and what you need to get there. Do so sparingly and efficiently."
Giving him a kiss on the nose and a warm smile, he allows his eyes to sparkle in a way that he knows only she could ever tell as he keeps the rest of his face emotionless and blank.
"And Rule number 3?"
Finally breaking the facade, he gives her a lopsided smirk as he leans into her hand sweetly, "Manipulation. Do whatever it takes, and be whoever you need to be to get the job done. After all," he pauses to share a smile and so they can say it together,
"Anyone outside me and mine are just obstacles to destroy and pawns to control."

Summary
In Tim’s haze of fire, he ends up with a thought that turns everything into ice.
It’s been a year since he came back with Bruce and he never got an apology.
So Tim walks up to his older brother who’s now taken a step backward with slightly widened eyes at the smile- the cold and very wide grin that’s taken place on Tim’s face very quickly, very suddenly -and he walks straight up to the man in front of him, puts his hands on his shoulders, and knees him straight in the dick.
Casually stepping over his older brother practically crying on the edge of the platform, and ignoring the gobsmacked look shared among Tam, the security guards, and most of the press who caught it all on camera, he walks over to wooden stand with the microphone and begins nonchalantly talking about the unfortunate mistake made by someone he doesn't care about in a division that’s so unimportant he was literally thinking about shutting it down a few weeks ago.
The questions asked by the press weren’t on topic at all.

Summary
“What are you going to do, Drake? Kill me? Like they’d ever accept you, then, why they’d think you’re even crazier than they did befo-'' he sneers before his eyes widen to the size of saucers as he was interrupted by the older boy in front of him.
“I declare this a Battle of Standings.”
Interrupted by the older boy in front of him in Royal League Dialect which is only known by the Head, his descendents, and direct council.
Tim stares at him with unblinking eyes before continuing.
“A Battle of Standings begins by one grasping and throwing their chosen opponent’s desired weapon to their desired opposition. By catching and moving into a defensive position, you chose to accept.”
Damian swallows and tries to calm his speeding heart.
