    Summary

    Tim Drake is good at surviving.

    He knows how to keep his head down, how to read a room, how to make himself useful enough to be tolerated. Between school, a café job, and a home that never quite feels like one, Tim doesn’t expect much more than that.

    Babysitting Damian Wayne was supposed to be simple. Temporary. A paycheck.

    Instead, Tim finds himself pulled into a family that notices too much, bruises that linger, smiles that don’t reach his eyes, silences that say more than words ever could.

    The Batfamily sees one of their own.

    And Tim?
    Tim is learning what it feels like when someone stays.

    Summary

    "Did you see?" says Dick, and he lets go of Tim's shoulders to take him by the arm, tugging him toward the kitchen instead of the Batcave. "Alfred made cookies."

    "Think he's trying to lure you in," says Tim, with a huff of a laugh. "Like one of those traps they bait for raccoons."

    "Raccoons are too smart for that, baby bird," says Dick, blithely, and swipes up one of the bait-cookies anyway, biting into it with an appreciative little hum.

    Tim finds somewhere else to look — fixes his gaze on a spot on the far wall, trying hard to ignore the way the kitchen smells of cinnamon and nutmeg and sugar. His stomach twists a little, hopeful, and he tells it firmly that these aren't for him. They're Dick's welcome-home cookies.

    Summary

    Peter bit his lip hesitantly. Would he have been a good teacher? It sounded nice but it’s not like it was even possible.

    “There’s a teacher shortage,” she went on, digging through her bag for her keys. “The city’s doing a loan forgiveness program—college tuition covered if you agree to teach in one of the inner-city schools.”

    He blinked in surprise. “Really?”

    Or: The AU fic where a forgotten Peter Parker becomes a middle school science teacher at 19 years old.

    It's an Irondad story...eventually.
