    Summary

    “You can only be worth something if you’re useful. People forgive you if you help enough. But if you stop being useful—what’s left?”

    Jason shut the book like it might shatter. His heart slammed against his ribs.

    For years—years—he’d thought Tim Drake had slid into his role with ease. The perfect little replacement, the better Robin, the golden boy who stole his family and wore it like armor. Jason had hated him for it. Resented him. Told himself Tim had never struggled the way he had.

    OR:

    Each BatFam member connecting with Tim, learning WHY he is the way he is. Steph/Cass, Jason, Damian, Dick, Duke, and Bruce, with introspection from Alfred

    Summary

    Jason gets lectured by Bruce for swearing too much, and he figures he can have some fun with it. Cue; concerned family members.

     

    “Well,” Jason said, turning towards the waffles which had started to beep, “I’m hoping that by doing this, I can annoy everyone enough with my not-cursing that he lets me curse again.”

    Dick stared at him.

    Summary

    Red Hood's men are… a bit unusual. They're still clearly the henchmen of the new and upcoming Crime Lord who openly and aggressively hates Batman but for some reason… they're dead set on helping Robin.

    They're even fairly good at helping out. Though, when Robin gets hit with a modified version of Poison Ivy's pollen, their solution is to call his 'older brother' who apparently they think is Red Hood himself.

    Summary

    “How do I bond with Drake? I wish to acquire his… allegiance.”

    Akhi looked taken aback for a moment before a slow smirk spread across his face. That never meant anything good.

    “Treat him like your regular street cat.”

    Damian blinked. Then blinked again.

    “…Excuse me?” He eventually asked, unsure whether this was a joke or not.

    Todd barked out a laugh before elaborating. “You know those ragged, gnarled street cats you oh-so-like to rescue, brat? Treat him the same way.”

    Summary

    Dick struggles to juggle numerous responsibilities including new fatherhood in the wake of his father's 'death'. Between trying to keep his family from falling apart and teaching Damian how to be Robin, Dick might have bit off more than he can chew...

    Dick was tired. More tired than he’d ever thought he could be. Even more tired than when he’d patrolled Blüdhaven by himself, Jason had been dead, and he had been on the outs with Bruce.

    The reason why was simple. Because once again, everything in his life was falling apart. And as always, it all came back to Bruce.

    Because Bruce was dead. He was dead and never coming back (right?).

    Summary

    Tim and Damian...do not get along, to say the least. Although in the past two years they've learned to work together, calling them family would be a bit of a stretch as far as either are concerned.
    Everything changes when Tim learns something about Damian, a secret he's kept under wraps since arriving in Gotham. And then Tim decides to do something about it.
    Or!
    How Tim and Damian learn to be brothers.

    Summary

    Tim might’ve said things started to really go off the rails around when he got stabbed. And honestly, that sucked, yeah, but it was well within the bounds of normal-bad for a night like this.

    No, things started to go seriously bad when Jason’s helmet got hit by the mini-EMP device the gang of thieves had been using to try to take down the bank’s security systems. If he hadn’t lost his helmet, everything that happened afterward would’ve been so much less awful.

    Summary

    Robin was stumbling now, struggling to keep his feet under him. Exhausted and injured both. Still ahead of the pack of men as he twisted around corner after corner in the tangle of alleyways and courtyards, but not for much longer.

    Summary

    Time seemed to slow. A series of snapshots, separate and distinct.

    Jason was bringing his own gun to bear. He was fast, and on a stable surface.

    A sound. Not the familiar crack of a rifle.

    Something flying toward him.

     

    Spear gun.

    Summary

    Someone had to stay and do the work of Batman. Batman needed a Robin, even if that Batman was Dick now. Maybe especially because it was Dick. Tim needed to go, needed to get whatever this was out of his system, and they couldn’t let him do it alone in this state. Damian needed a sense of purpose, something to give him an assurance of his place here when it had been so rattled with Bruce's loss.

    It made sense, Dick and Damian in Gotham, Jason with Tim. The only reasonable solution, and none of them were happy with it.

     

    (Or: Tim’s quest to prove Bruce is alive plays out differently when the family starts off in a better place with each other. Tim does still lose his spleen, though. That is definitely a thing that happens.)

    Summary

    Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.

    Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.

    He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.

    "You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"

    "She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.

    Summary

    “Anyway,” Tim continued. “I just wonder sometimes if your value of human life in general is related to how little you value your own life.”

    “I value my own fucking life a lot,” Jason shot back immediately. Tim stared him down. Fuck. “Okay, not ‘a lot’ a lot, but it’s not like I’m gonna go and kill myself or anything.”

    “Which is different than saying that you don’t want to die, or saying that you want to live.” Tim’s face was now dead serious, pulled completely taught.

    ~

    After Jason kills a man to protect Tim after months of unspoken agreement not to, they discuss death, suicidal ideation, and what keeps them both here.

    Superman has defeated his Injustice counterpart, returned to his universe with a moral conflict about what if he turns evil. The Justice League and the senior members of Young Justice discuss the implications when a slip of the tongue reveals that Batman has been preparing all this time. Nobody is happy with this information, much less when Danny reveals something that makes it feel like Batman treated it all like a joke.
