    Summary

    There is something both thrilling and intimate about watching someone when they think no one is around, seeing how they behave in the vacuum of other people’s perception.

    Regulus momentarily sheds his poise when he wrestles with the ancient lock, tote bags precariously balanced on his shoulders and neat curls just beginning to frizz and frazzle in the humidity. He mutters something James is too far away to hear, but it is most certainly a curse.

    It’s oddly endearing.

    Or

    James Potter offers to check on his best friend’s long-missing brother and gets a little too invested.

    Summary

    Imagine how different the DCU would be if Damian al Ghul did not join the Wayne family until after the events of the Final Crisis. What if 10-year old Damian was still being raised/trained in the Cradle by the League of Assassins when Tim Drake was in the midst of his quest to find Bruce Wayne lost in time? What if Tim was the first of the Batfamily to meet Damian after he lost his spleen and was dragged into the conflict with the Council of Spiders by Ra's al Ghul?

    Summary

    Tim always gave them names. He never told anyone that he named them all. He never mentioned how he would spend all night awake in his bed when the large letters of "ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL” appeared on the screen.

    It wasn’t like leaving was an option. The white walls and green tubes were the only places Tim was allowed to go outside of his room.

    Tim just wanted a friend to talk to. He was so tired of being alone.

    Summary

    Damian knows he is weak. He can no longer deny that fact, not when he finds himself dependent on Drake to be able to sleep. He just never wanted Drake to know as well.

    Summary

    Jack,

    This letter will be delivered should I no longer be alive to tell you this myself. It is with a heavy heart that I have to admit that Timothy is not yours. I had an affair with Bruce Wayne shortly before we became a couple and over the years it has become clear that despite my hopes, he is not yours by blood. It is my hope that you will continue-…

     

    --

    Tim knocked on the heavy wooden entrance door and waited.

     

    He was woefully unprepared for the butler that opened the door. He hadn’t even thought about what he was going to say, so he blurted out the first thing that came to mind; “Surprise, it’s a boy“ he made actual jazz hands… Honestly if the butler closed the door in his face, he would deserve it.

     

    or:

    Tim never becomes Robin but can't quite manage to keep away from vigilantes entirely. A shocking discovery means his sudden move-in with the Wayne's. Will he manage to keep his identity secret?
