    "Are you okay?"
    "Right now, I'm peachy."
    "Okay...", Bart stretched the word.
    There was a short silence, in which Bart's thoughts raced, but so did Tim's.
    "Listen, I have to talk to you about something."

    Tim has trouble sleeping once again and Bart wants to help.

    Summary

    “You did not just ‘quiet hands’ me, kid,” Drake mutters, shaking his head, and shaking his hands, “No, no, I’m not doing this. Fuck off. Fuck you.” 

     

    He takes a step back, and Damian does not want him to leave because they are still angry and they still want to understand why Drake is allowed things they need too and they aren’t.

     

    So they keep speaking.

     

    “If I can hold my hands still, I assure you, you can, too.”

     

    Drake does not continue leaving, and Damian knows that he wants to, and yet he doesn’t and nothing makes sense to them anymore and they just want to fight with Drake because that’s what they know.

     

    “Yeah, you’re so much better than me because I’m fucking autistic, aren’t you? Congrats, Damian, you don’t have to move your hands, congrats on your functioning brain! Do you want a party for it?”

     

    Damian does not know that word. It flies over their head and for a moment, they pause, thinking. They don’t bite back immediately, running through all the languages they know to understand this word and they do not find one.

     

    It is tiring to not understand.

    Summary

    "Thinking about putting on one of the suits made Tim feel warm all over, happy like he didn’t remember ever feeling, but it flitted away the second Tim thought about the after. Going downstairs to see Bruce and Duke and Cass. Heading to the actual gala and seeing Dick and Babs. Reintroducing himself to his family.

    It all made Tim nauseous."

    Tim's trans and comes out to his family. Eventually.

    Summary


    “You’re okay,” Bernard is whispering, his voice low and husky, and his eyes flit over the stage, looking for danger, for the way out. “It’s okay,”

    Fuck. Tim doesn’t need saving, but Bernard is shoved up against him, draped over him protectively, and the tightly coiled anxiety that lives rent free in Tim’s chest is starting to unroll and relax, purring under the weight of hehe big strong muscles protecting me. Fuck. Steph is never gonna let him live this down.

    ---

    Tim almost gets shot during a public speech, which is a pretty average Tuesday. Being rescued by his civilian boyfriend, however, is not.
