    Summary

    Tim's birthday ends up being the first good one in a long time, no thanks to the rest of the family. Though he can't seem to make himself mind, not since his older brother decides that Tim is, in fact, worth the effort and does everything in his power to make his 18th birthday a week to remember. Tim didn't ask for this. He doesn't think he even could get something like this, but Jason's not one to half-ass anything, even birthday celebrations, apparently.

    Featuring: "childish" use of a shopping cart; the beginnings of Jason's troubled teenager magnetism; pop culture references; Tim's inner fanboy; unhinged, unsupervised middle-son energy; "accidents" at a skate park; video games; and the suspicious, usually buried differences between normal, grumpy Jason and calm, comfortable Jason...not necessarily in that order.

    OR

    When the rest of the Batfamily forgets Tim's birthday, Jason steps up to give his little brother not only the best birthday ever, but also give him an entire week of celebrations. Sucks to suck, Dick. There's a new favorite big brother in town.

    Go read the first part of this series to better understand this one, unless you're fine with being a bit confused.

    Summary

    "Hurt . . . ? They're not . . . they're not hurt." Tim sounded breathy, not quite fully there. "They're not hurt."
    Something hysterical crept into Tim's voice as he spoke. Jason straightened up, eyes fixed on Dick, picking up on the tension crawling up Dick's spine.
    "Tim, I need you to tell me what's happening." Dick kept his voice even. "Who are you talking about?"
    "They're . . . My parents." Tim swallowed audibly. "I'm talking about my parents."
    "Okay, your parents." Dick paced towards the door to the apartment, checking for the keys to his bike in his pocket. "So, you said they're not hurt, but you need me there?"
    "I don't know what to do . . . I've never . . . I mean, I . . . they've never been dead before."

    Or; In the wake of Janet and Jack Drake's murders, Bruce gets custody of Tim and has to figure out how to take care of a grieving child, two child weapons, a spiraling eldest child, a murderous second child, and Stephanie Brown.

    Summary

    Jack and Janet abandon Tim in Gotham.

    Because, you know, tiny mute autistic eight-year-olds are TOTALLY adept at taking care of themselves.

    Kind of a stand-alone from Already/Basics stories. Same characters, different what-if scenario.

    Summary

    “Wow, so therapy really does work and it isn’t a scam. Okay Dad, you win. I’ll be there tomorrow but you gotta get an appointment with one of those fancy dentist, I’ve decided I cannot trust anyone with my face, much less a sketchy dentist with worst customer service than AT&T”

    Bruce turned to Jason and gave him a smile, a smile the kid reciprocated while Dick continued complaining on the phone, but looking at Jason a thought hit him like cold water. He froze.

    Has Jason ever been to the dentist? He knew for sure he has never taken him to the dentist…oh god.

    ---

    Or the fic where Jason is afraid of going to the dentist and ends up acquiring a little brother at the dental clinic.
