    Summary

    There was a clock that hung on the wall in the kitchen of Wayne Manor. The clock was privy to many private moments that occurred in the kitchen between the various members of the household. The clock would not tell, though. The clock was not a gossip.

    Or: 3 AM is a good time for a midnight snack and bickering with your siblings

    Summary

    Tim’s escorts halted him after a moment, and then one of them said, “Sir? We’ve got the kid.”

    Jason didn’t answer, but there was a series of metallic squeals and thumps, and Tim felt the slight draft of a door opening in front of him. He was marched through it and heard the familiar sound of Batman’s breath sharpening, followed by the squeal-thunks of the door closing. Then, at long last, the knot at the back of his head tightened and slipped off.

    Summary

    His curiosity might easily have been satisfied by a couple late-night birdwatching expeditions: you can only ride the high of discovering Batman's secret identity for so long. But instead Tim meets a mysterious homeless girl whose many particular skills do not include speech, and things spiral out from there pretty rapidly.
    (featuring: aggressive mutual caretaking, the minutiae of communicating with someone who does not understand language, the minutiae of living in Gotham, some cameos, and two feral children doing their fumbling best to be good examples for each other)

    Summary

    “No, they don’t leave me totally alone.” Tim hurriedly explained. “My neighbor Bruce Wayne looks after me.”

    Batman stared at him for a long while. “Bruce Wayne.” He parroted slowly.

    (A young Tim Drake gets kidnapped by Falcone. When Batman rescues him, Tim tells Batman that Bruce Wayne is his temporary guardian. Oddly enough, Batman isn’t fooled by this perfect cover story.)
