Summary
Tim Drake applies make-up like armor, hiding the Joker's smile to spare the Batfamily a reminder. He understands his role: to be absent, quiet, and expendable so that Jason—the important son, the real son—can heal. Alfred visits, but he can't hide the bitter truth that sometimes, the most heroic thing a Robin can do is vanish.

Summary
Tim was the second Robin, and it was magic. Up until he was beaten to death at the hands of the Joker—and raised from the dead by Ra’s al Ghul. Now he’s Red Hood, and he’s got a bone to pick with Gotham’s underbelly. If Batman’s methods don’t work, well—Tim’s got a few new methods of his own, now.
Damian was the first Robin—and he failed the second. His brother. He makes a vow not to fail the third. But when fate sees fit to drop Tim back into Gotham, Damian won’t waste his second chance.
Jason is the third Robin. Before he died, Tim saved Jason’s life. He gave him a hand when he needed it most, gave him the resources to stand on his own. Jason repays him by continuing Tim’s work—becoming Robin, despite the long shadow of his predecessor. When Tim returns, Jason is ecstatic. Even moreso when Tim doesn’t hate him at all—and instead lets Jason into his safe place, letting his homes be a haven when Bruce is too much. His childhood crush returns, stronger than ever…
Dick lost everything in one single, awful moment. And then Bruce Wayne steps in, and gives Dick something entirely new. It can’t replace what he lost… but having three older brothers and two big sisters is kind of great…
