    Summary

    "If Todd skipped out on too many family meals, Grayson would be marching over to one of his safe houses and dragging him to the manor. If Brown or Cain was gone on a mission for too long, the family would make time for them to relax and Pennyworth would make their favorite meals to entice them to dinner. If Damian was too far into his head and feeling frustrated they would give him enough space that he didn't feel coddled but also open that door for him and eventually force him out of his own head.
    But Drake... He hadn't come to family dinner for three months now, Todd never made it to the two month mark. Drake hasn't come back to the manor after a mission for anything longer than a sitrep and debrief. (Of which Drake consistently lied about and avoided medical attention every night and not once did anyone call him on it). And Drake was always in his own head and no one seemed to bother to pull him out. No one coddled, no open doors, no forcing him to float, just... letting him drown."
    ---
    Or Damian notices Tim is treated differently than the rest of the family and wants to know why and he's determined to bring him back through bonding.

    Summary

    Bruce adopted Dick at eight

    Jason at twelve

    And Tim... Sixteen.

    Sixteen. Practically grown by the time he entered Bruce’s world...Well stayed under his roof.

    Sixteen: Independent, solo patrols, solo cases...He doesn't need Bruce to hover...right?

    Or: Bruce is Tim's parent. Just because the boy doesn't purposely cause trouble like his last two doesn't mean that he doesn't attract it.

    Or more simply: The author loves Tim's and Bruce's dynamic and wishes there were more fics about it. Here is five times Bruce was a parent to Tim and one time Tim was a son to Bruce.

    Summary

    Tim Drake died when Robin cut his line. There was no flag pole or ledge to catch himself on. No backup grapple at the ready. Lucky for him, Gotham has never been one to give up her soldiers. Now an undead that is permanently bound to Gotham as her protector, Tim learns the importance of self-worth. And that maybe his "family" isn't what's best for him.

    -or-

    Tim heard Jason joking about being a zombie and said, "hold my beer." Featuring semi-sentient Gotham.

    *rating changed to mature due to gore and swearing TWs are in the chapter notes*

    Summary

    The room is silent except for Dick’s harsh, stuttering breaths.

    “Tim?”

    Tim doesn’t answer. He can’t. His body doesn’t work. His voice is gone. Dick reaches toward him—

    —and Tim takes a single, instinctive step back.

     

    Or: Dick learns Tim isn’t dead after almost dying himself. Tim isn’t sure how to feel about it.

    Or: Sometimes loving yourself means loving someone else at a distance.
