    Summary

    Your world is gone. Your life is forfeit. Those are two things I cannot change, the voice warned him gently. I can give you another version of your family. But I must tell you, this world and the people you will see won't be the same. A silent death may be better than this fate.

    Once, Tim had dreamt of silent death. Once, Tim had yearned for unearned peace.

    Tim didn’t speak, and still the voice sighed. I see. I will choose a good world for you. You will fall in love with it. It will break your heart. It spoke with certainty that rang with great weight. Do you still want it?

    Tim thought of family. Of loneliness. Of all that lay in between.

    Forcibly, painfully, Tim parted his lips. Breath rattled free, and he croaked out, “Yes.”

    Oh, child, it mourned, and then a hand pressed against his chest and a scream ripped free from his body. Like the howling of a beast.

    ***

    Tim's family, planet, and universe are destroyed in a matter of years. He dies, too, in the end, but is given a second chance at existence in a different world. A world where Damian is the first Robin and everything is backwards.

    He takes it.

    Summary

    “He told me he was visiting friends! But apparently he left out the part about taking a spaceship to see them!”

    Jack’s pacing was beginning to wear holes into the carpet.

    “How did he even get his hands on a spaceship? His allowance is only ten dollars a week and he spends most of it on chips and candy!”

    Suddenly, Wayne frowned slightly, the corners of his lips turning down as his brow furrowed.

    “Tim said you stopped giving him an allowance because he was failing Calculus.”

    Jack turned to him, bewildered.

    “Tim’s failing Calculus?”

    ---

    In which Jack Drake does not die in a home invasion and is now, inexplicably, co-parenting his only child with another man. Something Jack would protest if he didn't desperately need him because raising his son was a two-person job.

    Summary

    During the Joker's latest attack, five boys went missing. Of them, only Tim has figured out how to survive under the Joker's twisted version of "care." As escape attempts pile up, Tim realizes that his freedom hinges on Batman and Robin coming to his rescue—but even they seem unable to find him with the Joker having gone underground.

    Jason knows it’s only a matter of time before Bruce realizes the mistake he's made by taking him in. Labelled as "reckless" and "emotional," his newly-discovered birth mom might be his last chance at family.

    These two converging roads were always destined to meet eventually.

    ***

    Summary

    “Thank you, sir.” Peter turned facing M.J. and Ned’s silhouettes that wobbled against the rising sun.

    “Call me Stephen,” Doctor Strange said.

    Peter smiled, “Thank you, Stephen.” The name felt odd coming out of his mouth.

    The laugh was slight, barely even one. “Still feels weird.” Stephen smiled; it was small and didn’t cause the edges of his eyes to crease.

    “I’ll see you around.”

    The Magician stared at him, eyes mourning something already lost. “Good luck kid.”

    Or: spider-man in gotham, just with identity.
