    Summary

    Tim Drake has always been something other in every situation. He accepts that with the grace he was raised to portray. He knows what he means to the people around him and he expects it when Dick brushes past taking Robin away and making him a Justice League fugitive. He expects it when Bruce doesn't do more than nod after the year from hell. He even expects it when he returns from four years of nightmares with Ra's, victorious, but clearly not missed by the people who could have saved him. He expects it, but that doesn't make it hurt less.

    Or

    Ra's takes the battle with Tim a step further in new horrifying ways. Tim wins, but going home doesn't feel like a reward anymore.

    Summary

    Jason Todd was kidnapped at nine-years-old and given two options. Work for his keep, or be forced to to work for his keep.

    His life was not pleasant, but Jason was nothing if not a fighter, and dammit if was he going to let the hell around him kill who he was as a person. Or his dreams of growing up and going to college.

    Those dreams suddenly came a little more into focus, when his idiot of a pimp accidentally tried to rent him to Bruce Wayne. Poor bastard could have never guessed he was the Batman himself. Heck, not even Jason figured that out, at first. And Batman had practically adopted him.

    Summary

    "Mostly Tim’s just sad. Sad, or scared, even when he thinks he’s something else. Sometimes she thinks he’s scared to be sad, so he has to convince himself he’s something else instead. Sometimes she thinks about the smile the Joker carved into his face, and the new smile he carved into his own face after the Lazarus Pit washed away the first one, and she wonders how badly he was punished in those three weeks for being sad and scared."

    Cassandra is home, Jason is in school, and Tim is going by his real name again. But Bruce is at odds with the Justice League, Tim's not getting better, and they all have a long way to go.

    Summary

    Tim Drake is Joker Junior. Or...he was? He's not sure who he's allowed to be anymore.

    Sometimes he has Days where all he can do is hide in his closet and laugh. Sometimes he has Days where he can't talk at all. Sometimes he has Days where he doesn't even remember who or where he is.

    Sometimes he has Days where he's back with the Joker.

    But through all the Days he has, his family is there to help him figure it all out.

    Summary

    “Epilepsy.” Tim breathed. He was already shaking his head. “But I feel fine.”

    “You’re fine now,” Bruce said, his hand on Tim’s knee. “Because of the medications that you have been put on. They are helping to regulate your body, keeping inappropriate electrical impulses at a minimum.”

    “Inappropriate electrical impulses.” Tim said. “Really Bruce, I’m not a child.”

    “A normal child wouldn’t have understood what I just said.” Bruce countered.

    Tim blinked. Then, again.

    “I would have.” Tim finally said.

    Timothy Jackson Drake is many things.

    He's brilliant, he's brave, he's Red Robin. Some might say he's a little shit, but that was neither here nor there. Well, actually, yeah, he's a little shit but whatever.

    What Tim can't be is broken.

    He can't possibly bring shame to the Drake name and the Wayne family. He can't possibly have epilepsy, because he is meant to be better than that, he needs to be better than that.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Excellent pacing and voice for multipul POVs. Deals with the fear of being a burden and combats this fear with love and reassurance (without sacrificing the stories integrity)
