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. -

Summary
When is a door not a door? When it’s ajar.
Jason Todd was dead—but he wasn’t.
That still body back in the morgue wasn’t Jason. Jason was somewhere else—maybe asleep in the library, or playing videogames on Dick’s couch, or sitting on a rooftop in Crime Alley. Dick would go home and walk by Jason’s favroite gargoyle and he would be sitting up there smoking a cigarette, and maybe they’d lie on their backs and watch the stars.
He isn’t dead, Dick said to himself. He isn’t dead.
And this time, his dreaming worked.
Dick convinced himself that his little brother wasn’t dead.

Summary
“How’d you cry so easily?” Duke asks, still entirely too awkward because no matter what Steph says, Duke still thinks Tim is kinda cool in a weird way. A really weird way.
“Oh, I classically conditioned myself over winter break when I was eleven. All I have to do to tear up is pinch a certain point on my arm. See?” Tim viciously pinches a spot on his inner forearm. Immediately tears start to well in his eyes.
Or: Duke Thomas dealing with Tim Pod-Baby Drake and what exactly that entails.

Summary
“Stealing isn’t good.” Tim stuffed a fry in his mouth,
“Breaking and entering isn’t either.” Hood added, “And you just did both.”
“You’re literally a murderer.”
“Serial murderer.” Nightwing corrected,
Tim squinted at them, “Oh, my bad. That makes it so much better.”
Or
Tim is born with the ability to see and communicate with the dead. It’s both a blessing and a curse.
