Summary
There’s a small half-moon of blood under the white of Tim’s nail where he bent it. He studies the red of it, feeling foggy and dreamlike. “Can I ask you a question?”
His brother’s eyes flick to him and away again, surprised and wary. “What?”
His nail doesn’t hurt much, just the dullest of aches when he presses down against it. “When you were homeless, you slept with people for money, didn’t you?”
Jason jerks like he’s been slapped. His knuckles are so pale where they grip the steering wheel they suddenly look more bone than flesh. “Did I -”
“Was it worth it?” Tim asks, drifting like a cloud over whatever furious reaction Jason was about to give him. “The money, I mean.”
His sternum slams into the seatbelt with bruising force. Unbraced for it, his head whips forward and back against his seat as they swerve off the road again and skid to a halt with a screech of rubber.

Summary
Tim Drake had always wanted siblings. It had always felt like such a foolish thing to think, to want, when he had been young, but the thought had still been there.
He had gotten older siblings as he had gotten older, but he still wanted a younger one as well.
When Damian came along he thought he might get that, he was wrong (at the time that is)
But then came Duke.Series

Summary
Tim writes his first will two days after his ninth birthday. His grandmother died March 16th of the same year and his parents had been in town for the funeral. The weather had been gloomy, and his suit black and scratchy. He hadn’t liked the experience all that much.
Still, he worries what will happen to his photos should he die. He makes a plan.

Summary
Graveyard mud, heavy and dark, clinging to a stained and torn suit. One shoe missing, a leg bent awkwardly and blood staining a bare foot.
Milk white skin beneath the mud, black hair hanging in muddy clumps around his ears. Blue eyes staring back at him, animal-bright and dilated in the brief moment before he flinches back from the light with a cry of pain that stabs through Jason to the soul.
His shaking hand closes around the flashlight before he can even think about it, cutting off the piercing beam and letting it spill out in shards between his fingers. For a petrifying moment as his eyes readjust, he’s sure that when he looks again, there will be nothing there.
“Tim?” he whispers.
The lean and ragged figure, tiny, god he’s so small, lowers his hands away from his face, away from his eyes wide and glittering almost silver in the moonlight.
Hands, mud-covered and torn. The red of his shredded fingernails is sickeningly dark in the broken light.
He’s vomiting before he even feels the bile making its way up his throat.

Summary
“I have time.”
Tim does not, in fact, have time.
But it’s Nightwing who is calling. What’s he going to do—say no? Preposterous. That's a crime in and of itself. Tim would rather swallow nails and kiss his mother goodnight than say no to Dick Grayson. “How can I help you, Nightwing?”

or, when tim is three people at the same time, jebaits the bats into joining their family twice, and might be accidentally running the city as an emergency hotline operator. not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Big smile, hands on his hips, eyes lit up behind that black mask.
“I’m Robin!” Tim squeals, but it sounds nothing like him. His voice matches his size and demeanor, high pitched and soft and…happy. He lets out a giggle, flexing his arms in the mirror, giving a kick and a belated hi–yah.
“That’s not a Robin uniform,” Bruce points out belatedly. It’s not the part Jason was noticing, but he’s right. It’s thin cloth, and too loose. The right colors and shapes, Jason supposes, but still, there's something off about it.
“Well, that and he hasn’t met us, yet,” Dick points out. “He’s not old enough.”
“But this is supposed to be his first day as Robin," Damian argues. Jason agrees—something is very, very wrong.

Summary
"There’re whispers and murmurs when Tim gets out of school. The other students’ gazes are fixed on something - or probably someone - near the parking lot where parents wait for their children. Some people even giggle.
Tim notices it, starts to wonder why and who, until his brain gently reminds him that he should stop playing the detective. He can’t be one again."
OR: Dick picks up Tim from school to spend the day with him.
