    Summary

    The first time it happens, Bruce doesn’t do a great job at hiding his surprise. It was only a couple weeks after Tim’s adoption was officially finalized - hyphenated name and all. Bruce still smiles to himself at the memory of reading ‘Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne’ on those papers, trying not to choke up at his third son being the first to take the Wayne name. Of course that was never an expectation, but still, it meant something that Tim chose to take it.

    With that considered, perhaps Bruce shouldn’t have been quite so shocked by the teen calling him ‘Dad’, but he is. And he’s even more startled to hear it declared loudly as Tim abruptly sprints towards him down the hall at full speed.

    “Dad Test!”

    Or

    Tim starts a trend in the family of jumping at Bruce at random, increasingly difficult times shouting: 'Dad Test!' to see if he'll catch them. This leads to many shenanigans & then crash lands into angst because of course it does.

    Summary

    Welcome to my Dr. Wayne AU! In this universe, Bruce chooses a healthy outlet for his grief and decides to become a doctor instead of a furry. And with no other superheroes or villians running amok, everyone is much happier. But don't worry, Bruce's kids still find their way into his life.

    Also, for extra spice, they all have medical issues.

    Dick: spinal injury and TBI

    Jason: type 1 diabetes and PTSD from CSA

    Tim: cystic fibrosis

    Cass: speech delay, severe past abuse

    Damian: spinal fracture requiring hardware, messed up from abusive upbringing, OCD

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)
