Summary
Everything had changed, and Tim couldn’t tell if it was for better or for worse. He’d gotten sharper, more efficient in his fighting and workflow, but he’d had to sacrifice everything for a man he wasn’t sure would still love him when he got back.
He knew he hadn’t been wanted at first, but the family had grown to love him, of that he was sure–Tim had never felt so warm with Bruce, Dick and Alfred than he had with his parents. They weren’t the touchy-feely type, and there was little evidence to prove they even liked him–but it was different with Batman. He had protected Tim, taken him in, made him feel safe.
And here he was, avoiding all of them.
---bruce comes back from the time-stream. tim copes.

Summary
“Dick, what’s going on?”
“You know,” Dick said, eyes pleading, “it’s how he is.”
Jason shook his head in disbelief. “Dick…” He felt fear prickling at his lungs like asphyxia, and he held Tim just that much closer. “This sounds like a code orange.”
Dick and Tim were just following a lead. Now reality's been flipped on its head, and nobody's happy about it.

Summary
“My panic’s at the ceiling, but I’m face down on the carpet.”
Quivering | Dream Journal | Phobia
_______Tim hates goodbyes.
He should be used to them, should be old enough to accept that sometimes people are going to leave and that sometimes you can do nothing to stop the hole that burns through your chest when they do. The worst part, he thinks, is that once upon a time, he was used to them. He was used to the hollow feeling, used to the resentment, used to the ache.
Then he met Jason.Series

Summary
When the Bats are enlisted to rescue the Red Hood, Tim is unknowingly exposed to fear toxin.
His reaction is far from typical.
Cue a very chaotic sequence of events that unravel after that, with lots of hurt and glimpses of comfort interlaced between.
