    Summary

    Tim Drake is good at surviving.

    He knows how to keep his head down, how to read a room, how to make himself useful enough to be tolerated. Between school, a café job, and a home that never quite feels like one, Tim doesn’t expect much more than that.

    Babysitting Damian Wayne was supposed to be simple. Temporary. A paycheck.

    Instead, Tim finds himself pulled into a family that notices too much, bruises that linger, smiles that don’t reach his eyes, silences that say more than words ever could.

    The Batfamily sees one of their own.

    And Tim?
    Tim is learning what it feels like when someone stays.

    Of all the things Tim expected to see when he walked into class that day, having Jason Todd as his substitute English teacher was not one of them.

    And of all the things Jason expected when he went back to Gotham to annoy the shit out of his Replacement, growing fond of the kid was not one of them.

    But oh well, everyone knows life as a teenage vigilante/crime lord is full of surprises.

    Summary

    "So, what was your wish? To become an Avenger or something?"

    Peter leaned back against the couch, tilting his head so his gaze could rest on Tony instead. The shadows from the television stretched across his father's face, outlining every familiar line, every detail Peter ached to remember. It felt like old times — like the countless nights they'd spent just like this — and he tucked the moment away deep inside, committing it to memory for when he returned back to his time.

    "I just really wanted to see my dad," he whispered.

    Two years have passed since Tony's sacrifice, and Peter still hasn't been able to move on. Everyone around him keeps telling him to, because that's what Tony would have wanted, but they didn't understand. They couldn't.

    But somehow he ended up back in time, and Tony was here. Alive. And Peter was not going to waste a single moment.

    And maybe, perhaps, he could bring him back home.

    Summary

    ---

    For a horrible sickening moment, Peter let himself imagine that Tony had still forgotten him. That somehow, the wretched spell followed him wherever he went and he’d have to see his mentor’s face twist in confusion and break Peter’s world all over again. He wasn’t sure if he would survive that.

    Then he spoke.

    “Peter?” Tony called out, his voice hoarse. 

     ---

    or,

    a year after NWH and finally at his breaking point, Peter steals The Avengers time machine in order to speak with Tony Stark the day before he dies in Endgame.
