    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

    Dick Grayson didn’t mean to avoid Tim Drake.

    Dick was fairly confident the boy would make a decent Robin. But beyond that Dick didn’t have any strong opinions, and he was happy to leave it that way. He refused to form an opinion, to become attached. It was easier that way. Dick didn’t want to take the time to examine the dread he felt seeing Tim in his colors, standing in the same spot another black haired, blue eyed boy used to be. He wasn’t looking for a new brother. That’s what he told himself when eight months had passed and he had only met the boy a handful of times. 

    Dick stopped telling himself that when he learned that Tim had died due to the Joker. 

    Or: In Tim's early Robin days, Dick realizes he needs to step up and mentor the boy who now holds his mantle. Tim is going to be part of the family, no matter what Bruce has to say.

    Summary

    Tim had never thought of himself as young.

    By the time Robin came around, Tim hadn’t carried himself like a child in a long time. Robin wasn’t a kid, he was a hero, defender of the innocent and Batman’s trusted partner. It was a job and Tim treated it like one, never slacking off or playing around. Bruce trusted him with the responsibility because he knew Tim could handle it.

    Which was why, after Bane broke Batman’s back and put him out of commission, Bruce trusted Tim with Gotham. He trusted Tim to watch over Jean-Paul Valley as he handed him Gotham.

    ---

    or, Tim has lived in the aftermath of a man's cruelty. As that man returns to Gotham, Tim spirals out of control, and it's up to his family to figure out why.
