Summary
There was a little less tension in his shoulders every time he put on a wig; it was easier to see with colored contacts, and he walked better in shoes that were not his.
He was Timothy Drake, a son of a millionaire, and he was Red Robin. There wasn’t much time to be Tim, to be himself.
He’s never liked attention, and he had attention on him all the time. So what if clothing that was not his, makeup that changed his features, and hiding behind a different mask made his heart lighter and his lungs feel bigger?

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
Kon’s heart felt like it was going to flutter out of his chest. To almost everyone else in the world, he was Robin — an enigma with very little known information. Batman’s sidekick and Young Justice’s leader.
But to Kon… he was Tim. And he was bisexual. And he’d been drunk.
It was like there was a side of Tim that Kon got all to himself. He promised Tim that he wouldn’t tell the rest of the team his name or his sexuality but it’s not like Kon really needed the encouragement. Selfishly, he liked being the only one who knew. Selfishly, he wanted to keep it that way.

Summary
“Do you know what universe you’re from?”
Red Robin blinks. “Um. Not exactly.”
Strange considers him. The suit is armored but light; his stance screams combat training; his eyes — what Stephen can see of them, anyway — are sharp and tired all at once.
And he’s a child. Not literally — a teenager, maybe — but he is still too young to be saying things like “grenade launcher” with that much nonchalance.
“This,” Strange says finally, “is not my problem.”
Or: Five times Stephen Strange summons Tim Drake on accident and the one time he means to

Summary
Batman and his ilk were notoriously, fastidiously, pathologically private people.
It was a well known fact, practically a law of the universe.
Which was why Conner was having an incredibly difficult time with the request being made of him.
"Sorry, you want me to what?" Conner's disbelief was potent enough to overrule his well-learned fear of Batman almost entirely.
"Red Robin is in a compromised state." Batman's tone was as stony as ever, his form looming and intimidating as he spoke to Conner. "He has . . . made it clear to me that you are his . . . preferred avenue of rectifying the situation."Or; Red Robin gets dosed with sex pollen and asks Batman to ask Conner to help him out ;)
