    Summary

    Words echoed through the harsh wind.

    “What kind of Guardian, Watcher, God would I be if I saw my people suffer and turn away from them? What use is realism against happiness?”

    “I grant this world another chance. I grant a second chance to you, Saparata, and to those you love. That is the least I can do.”

    “Sometimes, tragedy makes for a brilliant story. But joy and happiness can make one, too.”

    “We already got our tragedy.”

    “Now, it's your chance to give yourself and the world a romantic story.”

    “Saparata, I wish you the very best of luck. Be selfish, for once. You deserve it.”

    And as quick and silent as the words came, so they went. Heard only by the ears of someone who should've been long dead.

     

    Or, Saparata goes back to the beginning, and gets his second chance.

    Summary

    It began subtly, just a simple cough.

    Fluixon raised a gloved hand to his mouth, barely thinking, expecting dust or fatigue to be the cause.

    But what emerged wasn’t just small drops of saliva.

    It was soft.

    He froze.

    A single purple petal fluttered into his palm.

     

    or, Fluixon was afflicted with a strange disease. Everything is fine... until it isn’t.

    Summary

    Given all the things that had happened to him, one would expect Timothy Drake to have become inured to the unexpected. And for the most part, this was the case. However, some things were just so goddamn weird that he had no idea how to deal with them.

    Getting blown up in a warehouse and somehow thrown into a different dimension and around twelve years into the past would be one of those things. Everything he had, gone in seconds. But that didn’t mean things were hopeless. In fact, there was a great deal of hope around him, and a great many things to fix.

    After all, never let it be said that Tim was one to waste an opportunity.

    Summary

    Being thrown back in time turned out to be less of a disaster than Tim would have thought. He had managed to stay more or less out of trouble, keep his nose clean, and even help a few people along the way! (Hopefully)

    Unfortunately, things didn’t stay clean for very long, not when Tim was involved. The powers that be (and the powers that would one day be) were beginning to take notice, and Tim’s idyllic home life wasn’t going to last much longer, not unless he did something about it.

    And do something about it he did.

    Summary

    And okay, fine, Tim can admit it: his parents paying off a school official to circumvent social services just to see him was sketchy at best—probably illegal at worst. They really shouldn’t have done it. Bruce and Alfred would be furious to find out that they had. Not to mention Jason, who would go absolutely apeshit.

    But–

    But it was also just really fucking sweet of them.

    Tim hasn’t felt this loved, this cherished, this fought for and desired by his parents in years.

    Doesn’t he at least owe it to them to hear them out?

    ---

    Three months into Tim’s foster placement with the Waynes, Jack and Janet Drake decide they want back into their son’s life.
