    Summary

    Tim Drake lives a perfectly good life. During the day, he's a freshman at Gotham Academy. At night, he surveils criminal activity and sends detailed analyses to Commissioner Gordon. If he's lucky, he might even get a photo of a Bat or two. He even writes increasingly popular LinkedIn articles about vigilantes and the criminal justice system under the pseudonym Jeffrey Anderson.

    Gotham is the one that needs help, not Tim.

    Bruce Wayne has a thing or two to say about that.

    Summary

    Instead of heading to his room he had gone into Jason’s. Had buried himself in the old Robin’s sheets and screamed until his throat was raw. He had clutched the sheets to his chest so tightly the next morning he could see the bruises his fingers left behind on his chest. Maybe some part of him wanted Jason to appear, to be his Robin…his big brother maybe. And if Jason could come back so could Dick. Yet, the room stayed empty and untouched save for Tim on the bed. Those first weeks after he had alternated between Jason and Dick’s rooms. Never his own until recently. Which would change again. But he had only ever gotten in their beds, never touched anything else. Not Jason’s extensive collection of books or Dick’s stray gymnastic equipment. Yet their blankets around him gave him some sort of comfort. As if the previous Robin’s were engulfing him in their capes. So that’s where he went that night. Curled in their sheets and if he pretended long enough they would be curled around him too.
    -------
    How Tim goes from being an only child to having three brothers who would burn the world for him. Even if they are a former-Talon, a recently resurrected Robin, and the heir of the League of Assassins.

    Summary

    Dick, Jason, and Damian realize that Tim’s time as Robin—and his relationship with Bruce— isn’t what they thought it was.

    Inspired by a tumblr post by anxi04 "Tim and Bruce have an odd relationship to the rest of the family. They don't act like father and son, but its seems like they have a "deeper" bond than the others."

    And a post by uranium-glass-dice, "Imagine trying to get your teenage son to go to bed when he's been putting your ass down for naps for like, years, by that point."

    All relationships are platonic.

    Summary

    Child neglect isn't all bad, Tim tells himself when his parents sends apologies and mail-delivered gifts and an increased credit line for his 10th birthday. None of the other ten-year-olds have this kind of independence -- even Robin has a bedtime. And he's heard from Ives that his parents limit his "screentime", which sounds quite barbaric. So this is fine, really. He's ten and will be starting eighth grade in the fall. He doesn't need his parents in order to thrive, he can grow on his own, in the shadow of their neglect and inattention. He can be their set-it-and-forget-it kid.

    -----

    Tim is doing great being an independent vigilante, he's fine! He doesn't need help, he's definitely not estranged from the family -- he's just being independent.

    Good thing he's part of a family of detectives who have their own ways of reaching out.

    Featuring two powerpoints, one casefile, half a contract, a roomba, and several hugs.
