Summary
And does any of this lame introspection even matter now when his dick is chubbing up and Bruce is looking at him the same as when he’d brought flavored lube to bed and they didn’t come up for air until the next morning?
(or, Bruce and Dick inevitably come together, inevitably fall apart, and tonight, Dick is weighing the ethics of asking your ex exactly why he broke up with you while he’s dosed with truth serum)

Summary
Frowning, Bruce feels Tim’s forehead and cheek with the back of his hand. “You’re feverish.”
“I think I’m allergic to Alfred’s new detergent,” Tim says, scratching, scratching, scratching.
Unconvinced, Bruce takes Tim’s hand away from where he’s tearing at his neck and pushes up the sleeve. Tiny pink dots freckle across Tim’s skin. “You have chickenpox.”
He might as well have just told Tim he had testicular cancer with the way his face blanches in horror. “You’re kidding me."

Summary
"How old are you anyway?"
Bruce smirks a little, “Pretty old.”
“How old am I?” Dick rephrases the question. Realistically, given the lines on Bruce's face and the grey in his hair, he has to be more than a decade or two in the future. But, well, Dick's still reeling from being twelve. He can't begin to imagine a world where there's anything past tomorrow.
Bruce's smirk sinks a little, but not quite to a frown. It's a distant smile, fighting through the shadows of whatever it is Bruce sees when he looks down at him. In a quiet, mournful tone, he says, “Not that old. Not old at all.”
(A young Robin and Nightwing swap places; Batman is always the constant.)

Summary
“If you train me, I’ll work hard and help you keep Gotham safe in Robin’s memory. You don’t need to parent me or anything, you don’t even need to know my name. Batman can have a partner again, guilt free with no strings attached.”
Bruce, lost in his grief over his second son, agrees to take on a third, temporary Robin to help him recover. He was supposed to keep his distance, he wasn't supposed to know or care about this nameless boy. But these children had a way of surprising him.
