A Place Meant For Two by Amaranthine_Nostalgia

Summary
The apartment still smells like dust and old cleaner when Jason steps inside, but he unpacks the bags anyway—cereal, applesauce, a blanket, a hoodie. It’s not much, but it’s something. A start. A place that might feel safe. A place meant for two.
Before dawn, he returns to the bolthole where Tim is still asleep, too small and too exhausted to stir. Jason doesn’t wake him. He just lifts him gently, buckles him into the booster seat, and drives them toward something fragile and unfamiliar: a home built not just for surviving, but for staying.

Summary
When Tim Drake shows up at Jason’s safehouse — twelve years old, soaked to the bone, and trembling with exhaustion — Jason doesn’t ask questions. He just opens the door.
What follows is instinct. A kid in his bed. A jacket clutched like a lifeline. A phone call to Roy. A room cleared out and made new. Jason never planned for any of it. But somewhere between the nightlight in his cart and the bear named Cubby, something shifts.
This isn’t about rescue. It’s about staying. About building something soft in a world that teaches you to go hard or disappear.
Jason’s not sure he’s ready. But Tim’s already asleep — and Jason’s already made the space.

Summary
Tim Drake has always been good at noticing things—quiet patterns, missing files, truths no one else wants to see. When the city begins whispering about a new player in Gotham’s shadows, Tim listens. There’s something familiar in the way the Red Hood moves, something angry and aching beneath the surface—and Tim is certain it's Jason Todd. So he goes looking, not for a fight, but for a ghost with his brother’s face.
