Summary
“My panic’s at the ceiling, but I’m face down on the carpet.”
Quivering | Dream Journal | Phobia
_______Tim hates goodbyes.
He should be used to them, should be old enough to accept that sometimes people are going to leave and that sometimes you can do nothing to stop the hole that burns through your chest when they do. The worst part, he thinks, is that once upon a time, he was used to them. He was used to the hollow feeling, used to the resentment, used to the ache.
Then he met Jason.Series

Summary
"'Exactly. You seem like you could use someone to talk to and, boom, I’m someone who’s stuck at this thing just as much as you are.'
At first, Tim’s not sure what to make of the offer. It’s true that Tim’s bored to near tears at the prospect of standing here by himself for the next few hours until his parents have had their fill of socializing.
Still, it strikes him as a bit odd that this person seems interested in hanging out with a twelve year old. That’s weird right? Or maybe it’s not. Maybe he's just trying to make the best out of a sucky situation, the same as him. It’d be something of a symbiotic relationship for the two of them, each of them helping to stave the other’s boredom.
Tim makes up his mind."
OR
Tim thinks he has a new friend and confidant in the form of a gala staff member. He later finds out how wrong he is, but only after it's too late.

Summary
“Why would he just take it?” Tim wailed. “Why couldn't he just ask me first?”
“Hey, hey, it's okay,” Dick tried to soothe, his hand awkwardly hovering over Tim's back. “We'll get it back. What was in it? Do you need it for a case or something?”
Tim stiffened.
“Tim?”
“It's private,” Tim muttered, wanting to die.
“A private case? Or - “ Dick's eyes widened in realization. “Tim, do you keep a diary?”
***
Since he was a kid, Tim has kept a notebook where he writes self-indulgent, made-up stories about being friends with Robin.
Jason finds it.

Summary
Tim watches Mr. Hennessy leave his office and doesn’t feel anything at all.
That’s not entirely true. His palms are just a little bit sweaty. There’s an odd pressure at the back of his throat and an odd tingling along the back of his arms. He also suddenly seems to be slightly short of breath.
But it’s nothing that Tim hasn’t felt before, so it’s easy to ignore it all.

Summary
The conversation Tim remembered the most from his first few months as Robin strangely wasn’t the brief before his first patrol, or even the conversation where he’d convinced Batman to take him on. It was the one they’d had after the first time he’d been almost-kidnapped...
“What’s most important of all is that you don’t stop fighting. I will get to you but if that ever happens, Tim, if you’re ever taken, you will need to be the bravest you’ve ever been. You’ll need to remember that I’m on my way to get you, and you’ll need to try to rescue yourself anyway.”
Tim had really tried. He had. But he was so. Fucking. Tired.
Or: When a caged bird can't even sing, what's left for them?
Tim's been taken, and after everything it starts to feel like maybe the hardest part will be going back home.
