    Summary

    Timothy Jackson Drake has been walking on eggshells his entire life, whether it be from his parents astronomical expectations, Gotham's horrible villains, and even the voices inside his own head. He thought that maybe now he was finally starting to feel comfortable in his own skin, with his bond with Bruce, Dick, and Alfred stronger than ever and his new budding relationship with Kon quickly becoming the best thing to ever happen in his life. Everything seemed... perfect.

    But then Kon died, and even with as short of a time as that was, it still brought Tim down nearly to the point of no return.

    Then Steph died.

    Then his dad was murdered.

    Then Bruce was killed.

    Then, to make it all worse, Dick took Robin away from him and gave it to Damian.

    Now... Timothy Jackson Drake doesn't know who he is, stripped of everything that once gave him purpose.

    It's time to see what he's become.

     

    AKA, a dark what if based on Dick's decision to make Damian Robin after Bruce died.

    Summary

    He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.

    He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.

    She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”

    And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.
