Summary
“So, where’s the evidence?” Tim asked.
“One moment,” Bruce said, still staring down at Lila like she was god’s greatest gift to earth. And she was the greatest gift to earth. But Tim’s greatest gift—not God’s—because Tim technically was the one who had swirled her up in a test tube.
Tim accidentally creates a baby out of his and Kon’s DNA in grief. He keeps this a secret until he can’t, and then pivots onto the story that he’s “babysitting.” With a family full of detectives, it’s a story unlikely to last.
(AKA the fic in which a baby prompts Tim to reconcile his relationships with his loved ones)

Summary
Vanessa burned in Titan’s Valley. Her unspoken words scarred her bitten tongue as she demurred and let enslaved dragons bring her cutlery, clothes, and tow their wagons around.
It went against everything she believed in.

Summary
“Look, I know we’ve only talked about books and shit, but if you want to talk to someone, I’m all ears. Bartender-customer confidentiality agreement in place," Jason says.
A loud laugh escapes Tim. “And just what does that entail?”
“You talk. I listen. I give my nickel’s worth of advice. If I hear you come back with the same sob story, I get to laugh in your face since I hate repeating myself.”

Summary
Tim was always holding his breath. Waiting. Filled with anticipation.
He'd spent most of his childhood that way, alone in Drake Manor hoping his parents would come home soon, crouched behind air conditioning units on top of buildings for the bats to fly by, sitting at a school desk watching the clock more sharply than paying attention to a teacher, clipping film to clothesline to dry and hoping he'd gotten a good shot. So Tim had made a game of it. He'd try to hold his breath for as long as he could while completing a task, just to see how far he could get.
It was easy for simple things, like doing dishes or math problems. It was much, much harder for others. But some things? Some things it made exquisite.

Summary
Dear Timothy,
I know it might seem odd to receive a letter from someone who is no more than a stranger. However, your mother suggested that it might be, in her words, a fine opportunity to engage in society in a less formal environment.
As you are currently away for school, you might not be aware that your neighbour, Bruce Wayne, has taken me in as his ward. It is an unusual situation, and I get the impression your mother has taken pity on my previous circumstances, or at least what she assumes they might be.
Despite that, I would like a friend, even if it is one I will not meet for some time, and in corresponding with one another, we might be able to speak more candidly about our own circumstances, without the expectations of the society Bruce and your parents are wrapped up in.
Yours faithfully,
Jason Todd
~~~~~
The first letter came on an ordinary Thursday six weeks into Timothy Drake’s fifteenth year, an offer of friendship more so than a courting invitation that was undoubtedly a result of his mother’s meddling.- Language:
