    Summary

    Tim prided himself on his ability to untangle problems.

    Red Hood declared war on Batman again because of some bullshit that Bruce is doing in Crime Alley? Okay, no problem—Tim’s on Jason’s side for this one, and it’s easy enough to throw some financial and logistical support Hood’s way.

    Robin’s benched, and Damian’s embarking on teenage rebellion? Sure, that one’s a little harder for Tim to fix, but still, he’s got at least five contingency plans for this exact scenario.

    Jason’s recent crusade brought up memories that Tim hadn’t thought about for years, and now Tim’s stuck ruminating on the exact parameters of his undercover training and the precise definition of what counts as trauma?

    …Yeah, so maybe Tim doesn’t have a solution to everything, and maybe this particular problem just won’t leave Tim alone. But the people he loves seem to refuse to abandon him, no matter how hard he tries. So maybe, just maybe, he’s going to have to figure out how to live through it, anyway.

    (or: the ramifications of being raised as a soldier instead of a child, and what it means to break a cycle.)
