    Summary

    "I'm not going to ask you why you're out here, kid," Jason nods. "That's your business and you don't know me or Dick to trust us."

    Not true. Tim trusts Jason Todd and Dick Grayson with his life. Just not with, the other stuff.

    "But," Jason continues, "if you want to tell me what got you here, or you just want to talk about anything, you can, with me. Dick too. He's an annoying ray of sunshine that won't ever shut up most of the time, but he is actually a good listener. I'd know."

    OR

    When Dick and Jason save a young boy from getting his face pounded into the pavement, they have no idea the impact they will have on his life - and theirs.

    Summary

    “I… I could be Robin,” Tim suggested softly, almost not daring to say it, even when nobody alive could hear. “No one could ever replace you, but without Robin, I’m afraid of what Batman could become.”

    He knew he would never measure up to Jason Todd or Dick Grayson. But anything was better than nothing, right? He was anything. Even if he was just a candle compared to the bonfires that were Dick and Jason, he could be that light to Batman's darkness. The light Batman so deeply needed.

    He owed it to Robin, to Batman, to Gotham—to try.

    There was that thumping again, and Tim reminded himself once more that it was probably just the rain, or something reasonable, and not the waking dead.

    Too much AMC and George Romero, Tim. Pull yourself together.

    Summary

    There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.

    Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.

    Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.

    Or:

    Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.

    Tim hates mystical artifacts.

    Summary

    A gun is set level with his head and oh boy, that's a new sensation. For a kid who spends his nights just barely adjacent to vigilante brawls and gunfire, this is the closest Tim has every actually been to a firearm. And it's pointing at his frightened face.

    He didn't go down without a fight, he didn't. He swears. But he also doesn't want new holes in his limbs. He's letting the men roughly manhandle him out of the narrow aisle and through the warehouse when something smacks his skull. He has just enough time to think how rude it is to do that when he is already complying before the lights turn out and he's rushing to meet concrete, a soft cry of "Batman" on his lips.

    OR

    Someone notices the Batman superfan. That same someone wants to know exactly what Tim knows. Whatever it takes.
