Summary
Harry has gone through this routine so many times by this point that he knows the exact words the optician will say by the end of it.
He’s been sat in a chair that’s too tall to read out what he can make out of the jumbled letters on the wall for ages now. The only entertaining part was listening to his Aunt huff and puff and complain about this inconvenient trip when everyone already knows the result. And for once, Harry actually agrees with what she’s saying. They always just say that his vision is terrible, they hand him the comically round glasses and they finish it off by saying that Harry must have the worst astigmatism that they have heard of.
That’s what all the adults seem to call the strings.
or: Harry has always been different- he can see the connections people have with each other through their soul strings. Now that he is faced with the fact that his dad isn’t actually dead, he has a twin brother and that there is a school where Harry won’t be the different one anymore.
Until he wants to be, that is.

One of my feathers are glowing by Despair_Doll

Summary
Staring with sullen eyes at the boiling kettle, Tim was regretting his night-time activities with how sore his body is and he misses the sweet sound of sleep that he could be getting right now at 2:30am at night. He has just had a long patrol and is trying not to itch as he can feel how gross his wings are.
In the past few hours alone, he has had to scoop as much egg out of his feathers as he could from an angry squad of teens who were pissed he got their dads arrested; he has had to ignore the few globs of paint that spilled in his wing when he caught a wall-painter from falling to her death, but he especially hated when Poison Ivy tried to restrain him with his wings. He’d be surprised if there was a single unruffled feather in his wingspan.
He could probably find the meaning to life somewhere in there, hidden behind a feather that's glowing from some of Gotham Bay’s water that got splashed on him a week ago.
Tim isn’t sure he quite wants to find out why it is glowing.
——————
Aka: Tim procrastinating preening his wings leads to his family having to do it for him

Summary
Batman sighs. “Tim is having an… episode. It’s been a few years since this happened last, so no one but Alfred, Dick and myself have been present for one.” An episode? An episode of what? Maybe he’d been allowed to watch TV later. “When he was thirteen, Tim was kidnapped by—“ Batman takes a pause, looking at Tim. “The Joker.” Tim can’t help the burst of giggles that bubbled out of his throat at the mention of his Daddy.
OR Tim wakes up from a nightmare, thrusting his mind into the headspace of a thirteen year old and horribly hurt and traumatized Tim Drake. Previously knows as Joker Junior.
