    Summary

    Gotham loses its Robin and Bruce Wayne loses a son. Tim finds one of these too tragic to bear. In his quest to make sure Bruce Wayne lives to see the next year, he strikes upon the perfect solution: another son.

    *

    His best bet is, naturally, Crime Alley.

    By 8 pm that day, Drake Manor is filled with ten black-haired, blue-eyed boys sitting around the large dining table, looking around the room suspiciously.

    Well. Eleven. But Tim doesn’t think he counts.

    Summary

    The cold was gone. In its place was the slow, steady heat of Jon’s body, radiating through layers of fabric and skin until Damian felt it in his bones. Jon’s arms were an anchor and a hearth all at once, and Damian found he couldn’t even remember what it meant to be cold.

    Or: Damian’s heater broke so he gets warm cuddles from Jon, his boyfriend of 2 months which leads to more.
    ______
    Takes place 2 months or so after the end of ‘Then What am I?’ and ‘Taking It Slow’ and a month before ‘Holding On’.

    Can be read as standalone.

    !! Jon is 19 and Damian is 22!!

    Summary

    It sucked that Tim couldn't trust his family. They had either been his abusers or bystanders, but even when he tried to take himself off their hands, they clung to him like a sticky residue. Trapped, he felt like a mouse beneath a cat's paw, and he knew the only escape would be a clean-cut break with no room for interpretion.

    Somehow, they made room for interpretation.

    “Bruce,” Tim rasped, his discarded Red Robin suit a thousand pound weight in his hands, clean and ready to go in its case. “You don’t even *like* me.”
    The truth dangled between them like a spider’s web clinging to separate walls.

    To no one’s shock, Batman said nothing. The only sounds in the cave were the shuffling of bats and Tim’s bike rumbling softly at the entrance, waiting patiently for him to make his escape.
