    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    “It’ll just be a few days Timothy,” Janet had said, “The nanny will be taking care of Beatrice, so I want you to rest. Don’t think that I haven’t noticed that you’ve been getting up with her at night.”

    She had given him a peck on the cheek a fond look before leaving Tim in the house with the baby and the nanny.

    It had just supposed to be a few days. And then their plane went down.

    -

    When Tim is sent to San Francisco during the Red Hood’s reign of terror, he has a baby in tow. A baby that he doesn’t know what to do with, who won’t stop crying. Why won’t she stop crying?

    Jason’s just wondering what the fuck is going on.

    Summary

    Power flows freely for him, coming in waves and floods of potential. Tim dances with it, holding its hand and guiding it towards those who have little hope. The citizens call it a miracle, call him a hero and a saviour, a beacon of light. Gotham knows better, the city hisses and growls at him, it pushes back with darkness and crawls inside the weathered bricks cracks to lie in wait. For a human cannot outlast a city, unless it destroys it, and this one seems to want to save it.

    Tim likes to think the fatal flaw of his city's plan to get rid of him is they never factored in the fact he wasn’t really fully human.

    Summary

    No human is permitted to see the Animal Court. But Tim, a feral, too-small thing, with tangled hair and teeth that yet remember how to rend, who scrambles about on four legs as often as two because there is no one to lift him to his feet - Tim, who wandered into the nighttime woods and has no one to call him back to the light of human homes - why would the forest have any reason to think him a man-thing?

    The first time Tim dies, he's nine years old.

    That's when he meets Death. Instead of going quietly into the afterlife, Tim says no.

    Each time he meets Death, he says no. Again and again and again.

    This has consequences.
