Summary
“You should get to know the Todd boy,” Mom had insisted. “You’re at the same school – I mean, it’s practically divine providence!”
Tim wouldn’t go that far. He’s seen Jason around a few times since he started high school this year and he generally looks mulish and tired, not to mention a foot taller than him. The job his parents have given him tonight – becoming best friends with the second Wayne heir – seems somewhere between optimistic and impossible.
He doesn’t say any of this to his parents, however. He’s no fool.
Or: Tim and Jason meet at a gala. Tim can’t be lonely, even if he doesn’t have any friends at school, cause he’s always surrounded by people. There. Easy. Jason, on the other hand, isn’t just lonely – he’s the street rat in a sea of rich kids, and they make sure he never forgets it. Perhaps divine providence isn’t too inaccurate after all.
Alternatively, the one where Jason gets cast in the school musical, Tim's trying to figure out why Robin's getting bullied, and Jack and Janet Drake are on the hunt. Trouble's afoot...

Summary
Tim’s day was going pretty poorly even before Ra’s sent him flowers. First, he went to bed approximately an hour before he was torn out of it by his blaring alarm, purely because he had been a good Samaritan and helped Jason with a case. Jason hadn’t thanked him, but then again Jason hadn’t threatened murder, either, which for him was practically an invitation to brunch.
The hour of sleep, unfortunately, was almost worse than getting nothing at all, because instead of powering through, the brief rest allowed his body to figure out that was all it was getting and promptly punished him with a pounding headache. Then at Starbucks some idiot employee had forgotten the two extra expresso shots in his usual, so he was both late to the office and caffeine-deprived. By the time he saw the flowers, he was thoroughly pissed.
Then Damian showed up.

Summary
“Shit, sorry, didn’t realise someone else was here!”
Framed in the door of Cass’ ballet studio is Jason, wet hair dripping and dressed in sweats and a t-shirt – just back from patrol, then. His shoulders are tight, indicating tension, embarrassment, but his posture is half tilted towards the room, as if he were… longing, perhaps.
Cass looks at him, at his large shoulders, appraising. She cannot perform the pas de deux on her own, and she would like to practise. Perhaps…
She lifts a hand, indicating the room. “You want to dance? I need…” she pauses, struggling. “I need… partner.”
Jason moves closer so he can see the video, too, and the emotions move through his body so quick that Cass can barely parse their meaning; grief, anger, embarrassment, love… longing. Always the longing.
“You know this?” she asks, waving to the video. He nods slowly, still watching the dancers.
Or: Cass didn't know that Jason once did ballet; she's just happy to have a partner. Alfred, on the other hand, is just about ready to cry with happiness over the fact that Jason's dancing again.

Summary
"You want to… come over?”
This has got to be a dream. There’s no way Tim’s invited him over to his ultra-safe Nest, the one he literally never lets anyone visit, even Dick and Bruce. There’s no way he’s invited him over, full stop.
“Sure,” he says anyway, like an idiot. “Yeah. Address?”

Summary
Objectively speaking, Hermione Granger knows Britain has a monarchy, just as she knows Prince Draco (the grandson of the current King of England) is probably off somewhere living his royal life in total unrelation to hers. Seeing as she isn't delusional, she doesn't really expect to be his friend. She doesn't expect anything that comes after, either. Dramione, modern royalty AU. COMPLETE.

I don't remember reading this at ALL but I bookmarked it so it must be good. better go back and read this lovely behemoth I guess. It rings some vague bells so I must have read it an exceptionally long time ago.

Summary
In which the Sorting is less of a choice between Dark and Light and more of a fashion statement, Gryffindors are more than reckless, bumbling fools, and Slytherins aren't the only ones playing politics.
Because you didn't actually believe that life is so straightforward as to be defined solely by the colour of a tie, did you? Hidden in plain sight, in the one house they least expected, Harry Potter becomes what he was always meant to be.
Hogwarts beware, the Dark Lord's equal is rising!
