Summary
“You got a pen?”
Tim blinked owlishly before scrambling to grab a pen from his book bag, as if terrified Jason would change his mind in the 6 seconds he took to search. He held it out to Jason who snatched it right out of his hands.
“If we do this, we’re doing it right. You got that, Richie?" Jason snarled. "When I sign this you’re my kid!”
“I don’t do things in half measures. I’m gonna be there for every PTA meeting, every club invite, every fucking carpool you understand? I don’t need some white bread, pearl clutching bitch telling me I’m a shitty Guardian just ‘cause I didn’t ask for this.”
---
The only thing worse than crawling out of your own grave to find your father had replaced you with the first black haired, blue eyed preteen he could find, is said replacement begging you to sign emergency foster papers... except maybe you signing said papers and having to learn how to be a parent on the fly... Fuck it, he couldn't do any worse than Bruce.

Summary
Tim was independent. He was reliable. He was self-sufficient. He was ten years old, and ten year olds didn’t need help – he was practically an adult at this point.
The only problem was that his tooth hurt.

Summary
For a long time, Tim doesn’t know his parents are dead. Maybe that makes him a bad son, for not knowing. When he reads about death, or when he watches people die in movies, their loved ones always know. There’s a gasp of pained revelation, an instinctual loss.
Tim doesn’t feel that. He wouldn’t have noticed at all, except for that he likes to keep track of the things going on in the places where his parents visit. Sometimes, it means he can ask leading questions, on their mostly-weekly phone calls, and Janet will spiral off into some tangent about these people and their lack of work ethic, and she’ll talk for minutes on end before realizing she’s still on the phone, getting bored, and then ending the call. So he keeps an alert system on his phone, for news, so they have some topics in common to talk about. It’s only luck he sees the article before anyone else does.

Summary
Wow, what doesn't happen in this fic?
There are Amazon Prime packages delivered to Batman from Red Hood in the form of a bloody and beaten Robin. This makes Bruce, Dick, Barbara and Alfred SAD. Tim sees that it makes them SAD and decides that he does not like them being SAD and he needs to get Jason back in the family and cure him of his Lazarus Pit Menty Bs (mental breakdowns).
So he comes to the only logical solution: meet Talia Al Ghul.
But Good Dad Bruce Batman does not like that so Tim does the only other logical thing: quit being Robin (by accident).
Then he goes to meet with Talia Al Ghul.
And he comes out with an assassin son.
So now Tim has to raise a homicidal bratty 10-year-old Damian along with running and hiding from the Bats while trying to cure Jason of his green eggs and ham rages and get the family back together.
Oh hey! What's that there in the distance! *zooms camera*

But most of all, Tim is alone.

Summary
He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.
He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.
She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”
And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.
