Summary
Jason's been stuck on this drug case for a whole month and he's got nothing. That is, until his tiny, anxious ex-neighbor shows up at his safehouse with a backpack full of evidence saying that the entire drug operation is being run by his parents.
Tim figured out that his parents were big-time drug traffickers at age nine, but when people start dying and Batman won't listen to him, the only available option is the Red Hood, who's just as likely to shoot him as he is to help him. That's why it's such a surprise when Tim shows up at his safehouse and Gotham's most undead and dangerous vigilante invites him in for spaghetti dinner.

Summary
Chris continues to chatter in Eddie’s ear, and Eddie half listens as Buck goes up to Margaret and hands her the tape measurer he’d been holding. She stares at him with one tape measurer in each hand now, eyebrows drawn in confusion as he smiles and waves goodbye at her.
“See you later!” Buck calls as he exits the loft with Chris.
Eddie is only a few feet behind, but he looks at her, gives her a polite but fake smile, and says, “See you later, Maggie!” as he closes the door. He only catches the first half of her spluttering and protest of the name as the door shuts behind him.
--
Or, Eddie finds out Margaret Buckley wants to buy Buck a couch and thinks, fuck that. -

Summary
Evan Buckley wasn’t born - he was made.
Fifteen (almost sixteen) years later, he’s learned a few things. He knows not to put his fate in someone else’s hands. If he wants to get anywhere in life, he needs to do it on his own. He has a plan. Keep his head down. Survive foster care. Go to school. Turn eighteen. Get a full ride to college. Make something of himself.
Then Athena Grant shows up and makes a deal with him. Suddenly he has the family he’s always wanted, and he starts thinking that maybe this time he won’t screw it up.
Unfortunately, trouble from his past is lurking in the shadows.

Summary
“Buck?” Eddie croaks.
“It’s probably good I took so long to realize I’m bisexual, huh?” he tries to joke, masking a thin smile. It falls flat with how the upper half of Buck’s face still won’t stop looking so miserable. “Or– or we’d both be t-teen dads.”

Eddies helps take care of Buck after his last relationship leaves a tag-along.
