    Summary

    He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.

    He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.

    She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”

    And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

    Summary

    Tim is good at galas.

    No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

    ---

    Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.

    Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.

    Summary

    A lot of people tell Tim that he looks just like his mother.

    They share the same eye color and shape, often cold and calculating. The same sharp smiles and ghostly pale skin, and the same, lean body frames that could almost be described as delicate.

    One last thing they have in common is an orange pill bottle.

    The only difference is the name.

    (Or how parents pass things on to their children.)

    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.
