    Summary

    Tim doesn't sleep much, and as a result he hallucinates sometimes. He keeps hallucinating a pair of green eyes in the dark.
    At the same time he struggles with his place in the fractured batfamily, and tries chasing the Red Hood, who surely is completely unrelated to these green eyes he keeps seeing... right?

    cue kidnappings, bad decisions, and a whole lot of food!

    a bit angsty, but with a happy ending because i REFUSE to write sad ones. title is from "people got a lotta nerve" by neko case :)

    Summary

    Tim's is de-aged to a toddler. Jason's pretty sure the kid was seventeen when he went to sleep last night. At first he freaks out, then he realizes he's pretty good with kids, then, he actually likes having Tiny Tim around.

    Stephanie knows something's screwy with him, she tells Dick and they decide to figure out just how Jason came about to owning a toddler - it's not like he's Dick Grayson or anything. They're shocked to see him with a child they don't know, until they find out who it is, they're still shocked.

    And it turns out Jason doesn't really want Tim to grow up after all.

    Summary

    “Mind telling me what this is?” Hua Cheng asked.

    Curious, Xie Lian brought a hand to it, and he traced the delicate filigree that ran along the edges of the box. Hua Cheng seemed to think that he knew what it was, but he really couldn’t recall. It wasn’t until his hand laid flat on the lid of the coffer that something suddenly clicked, and it brought a mortifying memory to the surface.

    All the blood quickly drained from his face, and he clutched the lid tightly enough to whiten his knuckles, too.

    “You already know what this is… don’t you?” he asked meekly.

    “I do,” Hua Cheng confirmed. “But I’m curious to know where you found such a thing. Won’t you tell me?”

    Nestled within the box was that dreadful child-bearing pill that was almost gifted to Hua Cheng a while back.

    Xie Lian suffers the consequences (or rather, reaps the rewards) of hanging on to one of Hua Cheng's birthday gifts.

    Summary

    He hears the phrase send him back more often than his own name, these days. It’d make for a halfway-decent moniker—Theo “Send Him Back” Raeken—if the words didn’t make him go dull-eyed and lead-tongued. Names shouldn’t do that, he thinks. 

    But Theo, in all of his haggard glory, survives the slippery threats of a permanent return to the underground prison by sheer will. So, somewhere inside of him there must be a resilient being, he thinks. Somewhere in the hollowness of him, between the skin and bones and contraband-heart pumping nothing but despondency through his veins, there is something that wants him to live. Or maybe it just doesn't know how to let him die.
