Summary
Tim is almost-finally training to be Robin, kind of. (Emphasis on the “almost”). (Emphasis on the “kind of”).
He’s been sparring with the Hood, Gotham’s newest vigilante, but Hood doesn’t know Tim as Tim, he knows Tim as Jason, but Tim knows that Hood is actually Jason, and honestly, Tim’s just writing the rules up as he goes.
And the stakes are only getting higher. After tragedy strikes the Drakes, Tim ends up in Bruce’s care just as a new series of gruesome crimes plagues Gotham. More than ever, Bruce is determined to keep Tim out of it.
Tim does not keep out of it. (And there are consequences to starting fights you don’t know how to win).
Title taken from “To an Athlete Dying Young” by A.E. Housman.

- Part 2 of To an Athlete Dying Young

Summary
"Batman told me not to take food from strangers." He repeated loyally, not even looking at the plate as his stomach growled. Stephanie snorted.
"Batman isn't here, birdy." She teased, then bit her lip. Ok, so maybe she does sound a bit like a rouge. She can hear it, now that Tim pointed it out.
"He will be." Dick claimed, not even a crumb of doubt in his voice. "Batman is going to find me because I trust him, like he trusts me not to break the rules."
Tim snorted, this time. "You're Robin. If you aren't breaking Batman's rules and keeping him on his toes, what are you doing?"
Dick's face twitched, in the way that meant he was rolling his eyes, and he exaggerated the gesture by rolling his head with it. "Those are for his stupid rules that don't make sense. Like trying to bench me for no reason, or telling me not to microwave cereal."

or; Steph and Tim get stranded in the past, and Steph comes across a lost and delirious little bird. Literally what else is there to do but kidnap him.Series
