    Summary

    Tim's idea of fun is not sitting in some drafty old warehouse, tied hand and foot to a swivel computer chair.

    It's a comfy chair, at least. He hasn't even been tied so that the ropes cut into the skin. His captor hasn't shown the slightest inclination toward hurting him — but she also hasn't shown the slightest inclination toward letting him out.

    "You could have done this somewhere better, you know," says Tim, and kicks the chair into an idle spin, for lack of anything else to do. It just sort of wobbles and totters forward into a slow turn.

    "Oh, don't be like that," says Selina.

    Summary

    Bruce’s brain takes a moment to reboot. “Your parents are in South America?”

    “Yes.” 

    He’s not sure why he’s so surprised – the Drakes are known for their work in archeology, and not much of that can be done locally. Still, he assumed that they took Timothy with them when they left the country for work. It seems a shame to leave him with a nanny this close to Christmas. 

    “Okay,” he says, erasing the numbers typed into his phone. “What’s your nanny’s number, then?”

    “My what?” Timothy looks scandalized. 

    “Your babysitter? Whoever is in charge of you while your parents are gone,” he clarifies. 

    I’m in charge of me when my parents are gone,” Timothy says proudly, his little chest puffing out. “I’m the Man of the House.” 

    AKA

    Tim gets to spend Christmas with the Waynes! This will not have lasting consequences, I'm sure.

    Summary

    The very beginning of the 73 Votes AU timeline! It's June, 2016, and nine-year-old Tim Drake has just figured out who Batman is. He proceeds to be totally normal about it. Totally. Normal. If his Social Skills teacher happens to ask, please tell her how normal he's being! It might help him pass the current unit on the first try.

    There are three works in the series:
    Discovery - Tim learns who the Bats are and we get a window into the Drake and Wayne families in that moment
    Hero Journeys - Tim accidentally stalks his heroes and learns a lot of interesting things; meanwhile the Drake household continues to be a garbage fire
    Homecoming - Tim painfully stumbles his way into a family who really wants him, weirdness and all
