Summary
Duke thinks he’s visiting Tim’s house to check out his D&D cosplay costumes. What happens is…not that.
_____
Duke has a rush of empathy for all the stereotypical Black guys in horror movies skipping happily along to their doom, because damn it if he doesn’t trust Tim, his friend and adventuring party member, despite all the clear signs that he’s about to enter a rich white guy murder basement.
_____
Not super spoilery, but it is a missing scene from chapter 24 of Good Fellows.

Summary
Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”
Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”
Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”
“FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

Summary
Unlike me, if you are very familiar with canon (comics and etc) Batman, are aware DC stands for Disregard Canon, and want to know which bits of canon I’m picking and choosing to follow, TLDR: That Thing That Happens to Steph took place before Bruce’s time travel, Kon and Bart took place after, Cass and Duke haven’t shown up yet, the Battle for the Cowl never happened, and Bruce got Tim a car as his sixteenth birthday present, like a normal-ass billionaire, instead of debilitating trust issues.
This note is for you, if like me, you’ve come to Batman fanfic with the extent of your Batman knowledge being the Jingle Bells variation where Robin lays an egg; maybe, if you were unlucky, you watched a bad Batman movie, if you were lucky, you maybe saw a Teen Titans cartoon on a waiting room tv once, and if life was particularly chaotic, a roommate randomly forced you to watch “Under the Red Hood” with absolutely no context and not having previously been aware there was more than one Robin (the OG, Richard “Dick” Grayson - yes, the Batman IP is older than dick jokes, and now it’s too late for them to change the name).
Either way! Here’s the background what you need to know in order to make sense of this story.

Summary
It happens on a Tuesday night, on a rooftop in Gotham, the way so many horrible things do. One moment Jason has the Replacement’s throat under his hand and his blood is boiling with irritation and the kid’s wearing that irritating little smirk that means he’s got the information that Jason needs but he’s so desperate to show off about how he found out that he’s willing to take the risk of being strangled. The next moment he’s got a huge hand on his throat, gripping hard, and he’s short and his heart’s going like a rabbit’s and there’s a red helmet inches from his nose.
The next—
The next—
What the fuck.

Summary
For a detective, it takes Tim an embarrassingly long time to realize what’s happened. It’s whatever, he thinks. Let them ignore him. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t care.
He’s so busy telling himself not to care that he only realizes that this is something — that something is actually, for real, wrong — weeks later, when he goes to the gala for the new hospital and Dick looks straight through him. Dick. Dick Grayson just blanks Tim, completely. It’s like getting shot through the heart.

Summary
It was a novelty, to not have a single person walking around, a novelty that Tim would trade in a thousand times if it meant getting his brother better and faster help. As it was, Tim could only do damage control.
Damage control and soft, calming reassurances because at some point tears had started spilling down Damian’s face and Damian does not cry often.
Unlike Damian’s ribs, one of his shoulders were clearly misaligned. The sooner it was set the better but his hand still had a pulse which meant for now it wasn’t actually the next priority.
Tim’s knees were drenched in Damian’s blood but he shoved away the sensation, wasting a moment instead on combing a hand through Damian’s hair.
As Tim watched, Damian’s chest stuttered.
