Summary
He hesitated, hesitated but nonetheless replied, “I got blasted by cuddle pollen. It’s why I tripped. It’s why I got caught.”
The line went dead silent.
Tim clenched his fists as the pale figure uncovered his face. “I’m sorry.”
The line split off into a cacophony of sounds. But Tim couldn’t hear any of it, because the stone and crumbles of cement and wood slipped off the purple suit and the pale man sat up, a hand going to his sickeningly green hair.
He was trapped. Trapped within a building’s remains with a conscious Joker, dipped head-to-toe in cuddle pollen which was already starting to become close to unbearable without human touch.

Summary
Tim Drake was someone that knew a lot of people, both in his civilian identity and when wearing his mask. He was someone that knew a lot of people, but not someone that people truly knew. Sure, there were people in his life that knew bits and pieces of himself, but no one knew everything and very few knew the same things if he could help it.
He was a puzzle that only himself held the answer key to.
So, what if his family and friends were given a cheat sheet?

Yeah, Tim’s salty… and Zatanna owes him a favor… -

Summary
Tim spares himself just a moment of grief, for all the people who aren’t going to live through the coming fight, for maybe the whole city. A dragon that large is powerful enough to drop Wayne Tower and the entire block surrounding in about a minute, to level all of Gotham in hours. There are going to be casualties, and all he can do is pray to things he isn’t sure he believes in that his family won’t be among them.
He shoves those feelings down, though, as quickly as he can. He lifts a hand to his ear, voice urgent as he bolts towards the Batburger. “Oracle, issue a city-wide evac order now! Everyone else, do not engage!”
“Is that a fucking dragon?!”

Summary
“Timothy?” He hears, and he draws in a breath. He doesn’t reply immediately, and takes a few steady breaths while he gathers his thoughts. He hadn’t spoken properly to anyone in a while—all of it was to please the man, and those words were never normal, never innocent. “Timothy Drake?”
Tim takes in air through his nose. “Yeah,” he whispers, and his voice is hoarse, and the back of his throat hurts, and he doesn’t want to speak anymore
or
After almost a year and half of being kidnapped, Tim Drake is found - cold, almost naked, dirty, and alone. The world has changed, and so has he. The Bats are the first to find him.

“Describe the weapon,” Bruce said.
“Knife,” Tim replied.
“Yes, I gathered that.”
“Small. Metal. Pointy. Very on-brand.”
“Tim.”
Tim frowned slightly, watching the bruise continue its quiet rebellion under his skin.
“It didn’t look special,” he admitted. “Just… a knife.”
Jason snorted. “Congratulations. You’ve been stabbed by the world’s most suspiciously dramatic ‘just a knife.’”
