    Summary

    Instead of threatening her infant son with the boogeyman, Janet Drake tells Tim that Batman is going to come for him if he doesn't behave. Years later, Tim realises that if he wants a fast way to get adopted, all he has to do is commit a crime so that Batman will take him away.

    Years later still, Tim knows that no one is coming for him, but that doesn't make him any less scared. It also doesn't make him any less interested in Batman and his Robins.

    Summary

    Child neglect isn't all bad, Tim tells himself when his parents sends apologies and mail-delivered gifts and an increased credit line for his 10th birthday. None of the other ten-year-olds have this kind of independence -- even Robin has a bedtime. And he's heard from Ives that his parents limit his "screentime", which sounds quite barbaric. So this is fine, really. He's ten and will be starting eighth grade in the fall. He doesn't need his parents in order to thrive, he can grow on his own, in the shadow of their neglect and inattention. He can be their set-it-and-forget-it kid.

    -----

    Tim is doing great being an independent vigilante, he's fine! He doesn't need help, he's definitely not estranged from the family -- he's just being independent.

    Good thing he's part of a family of detectives who have their own ways of reaching out.

    Featuring two powerpoints, one casefile, half a contract, a roomba, and several hugs.

    Summary

    Tim gets very, very good at hiding. He gets even better at photography. 
    The thing he gets best at? 
    Talking to the ghosts.

    ————

    Jason Todd stands tall on shaking legs, his arms full of another boy, thinner, with closed eyes and ghost-gray skin. Bloody hands, absolutely covered in dirt--so is Jason, now that Alfred thinks of it--

    ”Alfie,” Jason croaks. “Alfie, help. I think he’s dying.”

    ”Oh Good Lord in Heaven,” Alfred chokes out, flings the door wide, and pulls them both in.

    —————

    In which Tim is magic, secrets are kept, prey is stalked, and the world might just be put a bit more to rights before the end.
