    Summary

    Never again, Bruce told himself. He was broken, just like he'd always believed. It hurt too much. He couldn't bear it.

    All he was meant for was the fight. He was a dark knight, not a light one. He was not a father, and he would never try to fool himself again.

    Or, the Platonic Batfam Soulmark AU nobody asked for but I felt compelled to write.

    Summary

    "I'm not going to ask you why you're out here, kid," Jason nods. "That's your business and you don't know me or Dick to trust us."

    Not true. Tim trusts Jason Todd and Dick Grayson with his life. Just not with, the other stuff.

    "But," Jason continues, "if you want to tell me what got you here, or you just want to talk about anything, you can, with me. Dick too. He's an annoying ray of sunshine that won't ever shut up most of the time, but he is actually a good listener. I'd know."

    OR

    When Tim's parents find out Tim's secret, they kick him out. Now, on Thanksgiving, Tim is living on the streets and is thankful for the two strangers currently saving him from getting his face pounded into the pavement. Wait...those aren't strangers...

    Summary

    Jason was a lot of things. He was an outlaw, a former Robin, a victim, a hero, a problem, but more importantly, he was a dumbass.

    Capital D, capital U, capital M… you get the point.

    Sometimes, he could forget how much of a dumbass he was. Sometimes, he got lucky and passed the luck off as skill and forward thinking. Other times, he was forced to face the cold hard truth that his brain had been jostled one too many times in his youth. Like now.

    Jason's working a case that deals with the worse of humanity. No leads, no one willing to speak, and a push to do things Bruce's way is making it hard to make any progress. Luckily, someone took mercy on him and left a file in his apartment with detailed information. Unfortunately, the person who left the file comes back weeks later to bleed on his floor.

    If the blood loss doesn't kill Tim Drake, Jason's going to.

    Summary

    They drive to the drive-through a couple miles away, not the more charming and traditional walk-in shop that Dick likes to take him to when he picks him up from school. Two minutes later, they’re parked at the back of the lot, Tim twisting the plastic spoon in his cup of uneaten cookie dough ice cream, wondering if he could even swallow it past the lump in his throat.

    Bruce hasn’t touched his sherbet either, just holds it in his lap. There’s a drop on the rim of his cup, lazily making its way toward his expensive slacks.

    He moves before Tim can make up his mind whether to break the silence and warn him, reaching into his jacket pocket with his free hand and pulling out a familiar white pill bottle.

    He sets the Prozac on the dash.

    Summary

    Dick comes around to stand fully in front of him, keeping a steadying hand on Tim’s arm. “Just because you know you’re safe intellectually doesn’t mean you always feel safe,” he says softly. “It’s okay if you don’t feel safe.”

    “But it’s not okay!” Tim bursts out. “Because if I don’t feel safe, then how is Jason supposed to feel safe? He shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable just because my brain is screwed up!”

    There’s a faint sound by the door, barely more than an intake of breath, and his eyes snap to the no-longer empty doorway.
