There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.
-
or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.General warnings tagged, anything not covered by those is in end-of-chapter notes to avoid spoilers.

Summary
Tim feels his heart start to race, feels the indignation grow in his chest, can’t stand that some pubescent, spoiled know-it-all has the gall to treat him like an idiot. He can’t stand that the men he spent most of his life looking up to, that he trusted to look out for him, are just letting it happen. He can’t stand that he can’t fight back. Tim spent a lot of his life getting pushed around by kids twice his size and he couldn’t fight back. Now he goes to work every day running the company that Damian will probably inherit anyway, getting talked down to by people he can’t afford to piss off. And now this anklebiter who doesn’t know jackshit thinks he has the right to lecture him and Tim wants to scream.
Tim is almost as surprised as everyone else when his bo staff whistles through the air and strikes Damian right across the face. Hard.

Summary
“It’s a shame it never gets played,” Bruce says with a laugh, resting a hand on the polished surface.
“None of my children took to music. Not one of them. It’s a shame, really. I think my mother would’ve loved to hear her piano used again.”
He trails his fingers over the keys, a fondness in his voice that Jason’s never heard before. A soft ache in it.
“Oh, that can’t be right,” the older woman—Mrs. Phillips, maybe—interjects with a gentle smile. “Tim, dear, don’t you play piano? I distinctly remember Janet bragging about how gifted you were.”
The air stills. Everyone turns to look at Tim.

Summary
“Everytime they would miss my birthday, or any school event, or not come home for months, and I would ask about it they would always say, it’s because we love you Tim. They were constantly telling me they loved me as a way to appease me. So I would be compliant, so I wouldn't ask any questions. So I would stay attached. That’s what this feels like to me Dick, Everytime you tell me you love me without proving to me you love me, it feels like my parents are stringing me along. This is not love Dick. How you’ve treated me is not love.”

Observation: Tim’s the problem, and he always will be.
Conclusion: in situations in which is presence is allowed but not necessary, Tim shouldn’t stick around

Five Times Tim Was Manhandled Against His Will (+ One Time He Wanted To Be Held) by odymcbea

Summary
Tim was not tiny. He wasn’t, and he was willing to die on that hill. But maybe— just maybe— compared to his father and older brothers, he was on the smaller side. It wasn’t his fault that genetics hadn’t exactly lended themselves to the improvement of his stature. (Though, he knew multiple people who would argue that his constant overdosing of caffeine and his inability to sleep more than thirty hours a week may have had a hand in stunting his growth. To that, Tim had no comment.)
Unfortunately, as a result of the rather embarrassing size contrast between himself and his older family members, he found himself being manhandled by them infuriatingly often.

Summary
Bruce is a mess when Tim first shows up. He's ruthless and relentless. Certainly not the Batman that Tim knows. So, Tim decides to step in. He'll become Robin. He won't replace Jason. That's something he knows he'll never be able to do. But he'll fulfill the need for a Robin.
Tim knows he's nothing more than a placeholder. Still, he wishes that Batman would accept him. He wishes Bruce would accept him. He can dream. He does dream. But he always wakes up. And he wakes up to a Batman that wants his son back.
Or: Tim fulfills the need for a Robin and takes the brunt of Batman at his worse. Later down the line, Bruce wonders if he'll ever be able to fix the damage he's done to Timothy Drake.

Summary
Tim never stops taking pictures of Jason.
He really can't help himself, even when Jason wants to kill him. Actually, Tim thinks that Jason wanting him dead only exacerbates the whole issue, but no one asks about it (because no one knows), so he never tells (and he never will).
This, at least. Tim always thinks. Let me have this, if nothing else.

Summary
Jason gets it, gets the space between them, the way Red Robin keeps his distance. Of all the ways Jason fucked up when he first got back to Gotham, Pit-mad, green-tinted, and chock-full of Talia’s half-truths, breaking into the Tower and nearly killing a kid is the one he regrets the most. Dick or B probably would say something pointed about regretting committing multiple homicides and putting heads in duffel bags, but Jason doesn’t regret any of those deaths one bit. Maybe he’d choose a different duffel bag, but that’s about it.
OR
The one where Oracle calls Red Hood and Red Robin in to deal with a Crane-shaped incident at the docks, a brand new strain of fear toxin is released, and Jason is horrified to discover that he’s NOT Tim’s worst fear.

Summary
Tim curled up in a ball and shook with several, near-hyperventilating breaths. Jason clenched his hands into fists.
“Hood?” came Nightwing’s tentative check-in, “How’s everything going?”
I’m trapped under a building, he didn’t say. Tim thinks I’m going to murder him, he didn’t say. Get me out of here before I claw my own skin off, he didn’t say.

Summary
Soap is used to taking blows to his pride -- he knows he talks too much, clutters the comms with his never-ending chatter. He's been told time and time again that he needs to shut his trap, to lower his voice, to stop bouncing his damn leg like an impatient child. It's never really bothered him much. He is used to it.
But when Ghost tells him to shut up, he doesn't exactly know why it hurts so damn much. Maybe he's being too sensitive. But he does shut up. He will do as he's told for once.
Even if it means life or death.

Summary
Dicentra spectabilis, now referred to as lamprocapnos spectabilis, comes from Greek for “two spurs” and “spectacular.” In many Asian cultures, these flowers signify a broken heart or love unrequited. The bud is toxic both to the touch and by ingestion, making it useful for mainly ornamental purposes.

There's someone new joining the 141 and everyone is happy about it. So happy, in fact, that they don't seem to realize one of them is slowly slipping away.
Johnny's only all too aware.

Summary
Soap was used to not being able to be his true authentic self with his old teams. That changed when he joined the 141. But after a particularly rough mission, the whole team snapped at him to finally shut up for once. They couldn’t possibly have expected the impact their words had on Soap…
