Bookmarker's Notes
After a run-in with some hi-tech goons, Tim wakes up in a universe where Bruce enjoys his company. Where Jason never died, where Dick never gave Robin to a murderous Demon Brat who, it seemed, wasn’t even around.
He goes to sleep, happy.
And wakes up back in his original world, where he feels like a ghost among the living, forgotten and cold and alone.
The one where Tim switches between worlds whenever he falls asleep.

Summary
Still off balance, Buck slams his left heel onto the roof, heaving forward to catch the collar of that yellow shirt. And there’s no conscious decision making here. It’s all instinct, and he’s grateful for it. If he’d given his overzealous mind the chance to consider another way, he would have missed his shot. Instead, his arms hurl the boy into the hands of another survivor...
And his right foot misses the edge.
OR
Buck catches Chris before he rolls off the firetruck, and it's him who falls back into the retreating waters of the tsunami. Unconscious and seriously injured, he's unaware that his team has been searching for him, never giving up as the days pass.

Summary
It should have been fun and easy, Young Justice back together again even if Tim was Red Robin rather than Robin now. They were only chasing a weak magician, but they didn't know enough about what he was after. The Staff of the Oneiroi was far more powerful than they imagined and soon half of the team was down, asleep and nothing would wake them.
Danny was given an interesting proposal. Help Nocturn retrieve some mystical item from the living realm, a version of Earth with no anti-ecto acts or GIW. Clockwork surprisingly agreed it was a good idea, the object too powerful to be left with the living. Why was it always him being sent to find things?

Summary
In a world of scientifically proven psychic abilities, the practitioners - the so-called Talents - are called on to serve the public good. This is never more true than in Gotham, where the Wayne Parapsychic Institute works diligently for justice and peace in what is otherwise a mecca of rogue Talents. Bruce Wayne is one of the most powerful Talents on record; a Prime. So are all his children. All, that is, except for Tim Drake; a winged donkey to their high-flying Pegasus. Fed up with the constant reminders that he will never be able to catch up to their flight into the stars and beyond, he leaves.
Trying to put the shattered pieces of his life together, he comes across Jason Todd; former member of the Wayne Parapsychic Institute and a powerhouse in terms of Talent, alive in an asylum years after everyone assumed him dead.
Tim is determined to help Jason find a way back. Jason might end up teaching him a way forward.
