    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

    “What do you want to do then?” Jon asked helplessly. Damian glanced over at him, his face scrunched up in displeasure.

    “Obviously I want to keep her,” he replied. If shock could be embodied, then Jon was doing it perfectly. His jaw was practically on the floor, his eyes wide enough to be uncanny,

    “Keep her!” he reiterated loudly to which Damian shushed him angrily. Izzi shifted slightly, letting out a loud yawn before she continued to drool on his suit. He made a mental note to scrub it later.

    “Yes, Jonathan. I want to keep her, at least until we find some other relatives she has or suitable adoptive parents,” he replied, as if that was a perfectly reasonable request. With that, Damian turned away, his arms wrapping around Izzi. He closed his eyes, deciding to rest his eyes and ignore Jon’s existence for the moment.

    OR: A story in which Damian finds a toddler and decides the best course of action is to raise her with Jon.

    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

    To move on from a heartbreaking loss, Marinette Dupain-Cheng takes a side job: a Michelin Guide inspector, one of the anonymous food critics whose reports guide the assignment -- or revoking -- of those coveted Michelin Stars. She has plenty of culinary experience, after all.

    That the whole requirement for Michelin inspectors to keep their identities as secret and closely guarded as a CIA agent appeals to the dissatisfied adrenaline junkie portion in her is just a bonus.

    Jason Todd can't believe that somehow he's ended up working with Interpol. But given that Talia al Ghul is in pursuit of something fantastically dangerous which cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the League of Assassins, he's begrudgingly become a temporary secret agent.

    What he didn't expect was a tiny French firecracker who seems to be keeping too many secrets about why exactly she keeps showing up at all the same places as Jason, and who has downright alarmingly unconventional and unorthodox fighting skills. It's obvious to him that she's an agent on behalf of some third player on this game-board, but Jason isn't certain who.

    All he knows for sure is that somehow, this little pixie is going to be the death of him.
