    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

    Tim Drake knows that crying yields no data. He learned that at six years old in an empty house, illuminated only by the blue light of a computer screen.

    Now, he’s an exhausted student by day and a digital poltergeist by night. He doesn't just "watch" the Wayne family, he optimizes them. He hacks their coffee machines, stabilizes their tactical HUDs, and leaves anonymous medical alerts on the Bat-computer when Bruce’s cortisol levels spike. It’s not stalking if it’s protective, right?

    But when Jason Todd corners him in the library to argue about The Great Gatsby, Tim realizes that maintaining a firewall is a lot harder when the target is sitting across the table. It turns out, you can’t calculate your way out of a hug, and the Waynes are very, very persistent.

    Summary

    “Can I learn the drums?” Tim had asked when he was eight.

    “Absolutely not. Are you one of the street kids?” his mother had replied, scandalised.

    That was pretty much how every conversation about alternative instruments went.

    OR

    Tim Drake is a musical prodigy.

    Summary

    There was a boy on the roof.

    This was not, unfortunately, an uncommon occurrence. No matter how high the rooftop or how improbable the perch, dark haired, blue eyed little boys were all too frequently there. Being impediments. Causing problems. Existing.

    What was uncommon was that this blue eyed, dark haired little boy was not in a mask and cape. Instead he was wearing a sodden sweater and expensive sneakers and staring at her with a look both baffled and utterly betrayed.

    (Selina finds a child. Unbeknownst to everyone, this is the start of a lucrative (and beautiful) relationship)

    Summary

    Dick is recruited by the Justice League while Bruce is absent. Jason is simultaneously detained by the JL while Batman is away.
    Anyway that’s how Nightwing speedruns going from JL’s newest recruit to top of their most wanted list (a fact Jason is still salty about since he’s now in second place). Anyway, they’re both getting grounded when Bruce gets home. Assuming the JL don’t catch up to them first.

    Summary

    Following the events of confronting his old Master after ten years of relentlessly searching for him just to be bested again in the most devastating way possible, Vader had two years of thinking about the choices he had made during the last decade. And it all boiled down to his current Master, Darth Sidious, who had manipulated and controlled him, who had set all those terrible things in motion that had ended with him being not much more than a walking corpse, kept alive by a mix of elaborate and crude machinery, that was making every day torture and full of pain.

    On Tatooine he meets a sweet little boy, who soon becomes the most important person in his life...

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne never expected to be a parent. It was biologically impossible, but being a stoic, single Omega who spent his nights fighting crime also made it emotionally impossible.

    However, just like everything else, life had other plans, and he became a parent over and over again.

    This is a story of every twist, bump, shenanigan, and otherwise that came with having clingy and rowdy pups.

    Summary

    For a long time, Tim doesn’t know his parents are dead. Maybe that makes him a bad son, for not knowing. When he reads about death, or when he watches people die in movies, their loved ones always know. There’s a gasp of pained revelation, an instinctual loss.

    Tim doesn’t feel that. He wouldn’t have noticed at all, except for that he likes to keep track of the things going on in the places where his parents visit. Sometimes, it means he can ask leading questions, on their mostly-weekly phone calls, and Janet will spiral off into some tangent about these people and their lack of work ethic, and she’ll talk for minutes on end before realizing she’s still on the phone, getting bored, and then ending the call. So he keeps an alert system on his phone, for news, so they have some topics in common to talk about. It’s only luck he sees the article before anyone else does.
