Summary
This series focuses on the lasting effects of violence in the Batfamily among the Robins.
Chekhov’s Gun: After the Titans Tower attack, Tim suffers from PTSD, and Jason's frequent presence is not helping. He spirals and starts carrying a gun "just in case".
The Gun on the Mantel: A year later, Tim's abusive relationship with his father comes to a head. Jason offers to do something about it. Tim's parents die.
Jump the Gun: Damian arrives and the already violent batfamily dynamics are pushed to the extreme. Bruce doesn't handle it well.
A Smoking Gun: Jason finds out why Tim and Dick are weird with each other — the whole undiscussed Robin handover — and he takes that personally.
Gunpoint: Tim plays on Jason's insecurities for the sake of keeping them both alive because Jason is not down to hurt Tim again but the mission demands it.

Summary
Seven-year-old Tim Drake appears to be the ideal child: intelligent, well-behaved and unfailingly polite.
Across the lawn, the Wayne household lives a very different life. Bruce Wayne and his spirited brood, including Dick, Cass, Jason, Duke and Damian, fill their residence with noise, chaos and unconditional affection, anchored by Alfred’s steady presence.
Tim has spent his entire reality mastering one skill: survival through being flawless. An immaculate boy doesn’t cry. A faultless son doesn’t complain. An impeccable child never gives his parents a reason to hurt him.
He doesn’t expect anyone to notice how small he has become inside his own world.
The Waynes do.
This is the slow unraveling of a secret, the gentle, desperate struggle to protect and save the kid hiding behind polished etiquette.
It’s about the Wayne family who refuse to look away and the boy who discovers that being loved doesn’t require being without blemish.
He just has to step next door.
This is the story of the child who learns that safety, warmth and care were always within reach.
Belonging was waiting for him, just right next door.

Summary
Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.
Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.
He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.
"You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"
"She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.

you know what? tim's not at all affected by being rejected by his bio-dad bruce wayne, you know why? because he's young, rich, hot, totally well-adjusted, popular, not at all a mess and honestly? that's all that matters!he's not petty enough to let his daddy issues descend into cold calculated revenge because he doesn't need bruce or batman or whatever he's calling himself these days. he doesn't need him. really. because he's perfect just the way he is. he doesn't want his attention or love either. duh.
and if, let's say, he ever tried to enact said revenge plan (as a joke, obviously. he would NEVER--) he's not worried (because that would be crazy) because his mom would never let him get thrown into arkham! which, at the end of the day; that's all that matters over standard parental affection. promise.

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.
