Summary
"Hayden felt bad for possibly intruding on his friend’s privacy, but he was worried. His 'dad sense' as his eldest had dubbed it, was tingling. It had been a couple of minutes and he’d rung the doorbell twice yet still no answer from Shane. He tried the front door which swung open. Kicking off his shoes and leaving them on the mat, he entered the house, calling out 'Hollzy?' as he went.
'Shane? Bud?'
Hayden rounded the corner into the kitchen where he was greeted by the last sight he’d ever expected. Ilya fucking Rozanov. In Shane Hollander’s kitchen. Not only that, Rozanov had clearly just been hugging Shane. Hayden’s best friend Shane, who was supposedly Rozanov’s biggest rival. What the fuck?"

Summary
"Jason carefully bypassed the security on the window before crawling into Tim's kitchen. He had forgotten how protective of his space the kid was. Unfortunately for him, Jason needed a hard drive that he had given Tim weeks ago... Tim returned to the kitchen, no longer dressed in a suit but now in sweats and a t-shirt. Jason looked over him. His dark circles were even deeper than usual and his arms looked- Wait. His arms were covered in scars. Not just the normal bat amount but dozens and dozens of thin, straight, carefully made scars. They varied a bit in length and severity, some paler with age, some still dark and new. Some of them weren’t even scars yet. There were wounds on his arms that couldn’t even be two days old. Jason couldn’t help the choked sound that escaped his lips. What the fuck Replacement? Tim jumped at the noise, whipping around to face Jason."

Summary
"Tim’s self esteem was shot long before he became Robin...Tim didn’t know when his problem had started. He thought it was somewhere towards the beginning of seventh grade, but his memory was hazy. Contrary to what some people might believe, he didn’t do it for attention. It started because he thought he deserved it and he wanted to be in control of something. After a while, it became a habit, a comfort when everything in his life fell apart."
Or, Tim struggles with self-harm. His brother finds out.Series

Summary
"Tim fell through the window, clutching his shoulder as he tried to shove it shut behind him. Jason’s silent perimeter alarm was going off and Tim could hear his phone dinging with the alert in the next room. He was going to be pissed if Tim got blood on his rug. Tim made sure his cap was wrapped securely around his shoulder, absorbing the blood and compressing the wound, before venturing towards the bathroom...Tim sighed deeply. “Yeah,” he called out. Jason pushed open the door and walked over to where Tim was sitting on the lid of the toilet. He rested the cane he had been using against the counter and sat on the edge of the tub, gesturing for Tim to hand him the first aid kit. You know what, I’m not even gonna touch that right now, Tim thought, staring at the cane before turning to Jason as his brother tapped him."

Summary
Superman hates Conner. He's never said as much, but his constant criticism of his clone after missions speaks for itself.
Conner doesn't hate Superman, he just wants to stop being terrified of him, but that's just how it's been since the League pulled him from Cadmus four months ago. By October, Tim Drake has had enough and sics Batman on the Man of Steel to get him to ease up on his teammate.
Clark hasn't been helping Superboy be a better hero. He doesn't know him at all. When he promises Conner things will be different, it takes Conner a while to believe him.
Is 365 days enough time to change so much?

Summary
"Her eyes scanned him worriedly, and Tim didn’t immediately launch into an explanation of how he was okay, really, just a bit cold. He just stood there and breathed in the warmth radiating from the little farmhouse.
Honestly, Tim wasn’t sure if he was okay.
“C’mon in, dear. We’ll get you dry, though I’m afraid Conner’s not here. He’s staying with Clark and Lois in Metropolis this week,” Ma said.
“I know.” Tim’s voice came out as a croak. “I wasn’t looking for him, I don’t—I’m not sure why I came here.”
Tim accidentally comes out to Bruce after a long patrol, panics, and runs to the Kent's farm on pure instinct.
