Summary
Tim started up gymnastics as a way of flying like Robin, like Dick Grayson. He may be bad at other things, like making his parents happy and in turn making them stay, but he was good at preforming. It was less than a coincidence that his gym was where Nightwing worked, but that was neither here nor there.
Dick had felt stuck in his life where cases and missions took up every second of his day. He needed an outlet, a way to honor his past and keep himself sane in the present. After deliberation, he knew that becoming a gymnastic Coach would be the best of both worlds. He could still be vigilante by night, but he could also make an impact on his community during the day too. Turns out Timothy Drake is part of that community and he'll be damned if he doesn't make an impact on that kid's life as well.
OR
In which Dick Grayson is a gymnastics coach in Bludhaven and Tim Drake is one of his gymnasts. Through a series of events, it becomes apparent there may be more going on with Tim's home life that meets the eye, and Dick takes it upon himself to figure out what is going on. Cue Tim bonding with the batfam.

Summary
For a long time, Tim doesn’t know his parents are dead. Maybe that makes him a bad son, for not knowing. When he reads about death, or when he watches people die in movies, their loved ones always know. There’s a gasp of pained revelation, an instinctual loss.
Tim doesn’t feel that. He wouldn’t have noticed at all, except for that he likes to keep track of the things going on in the places where his parents visit. Sometimes, it means he can ask leading questions, on their mostly-weekly phone calls, and Janet will spiral off into some tangent about these people and their lack of work ethic, and she’ll talk for minutes on end before realizing she’s still on the phone, getting bored, and then ending the call. So he keeps an alert system on his phone, for news, so they have some topics in common to talk about. It’s only luck he sees the article before anyone else does.

Summary
“Come through here,” Halandil Fang says, gesturing him into the house.
It is odd, but nice. He looks very much like Thjazi. He does not sound, or move, like Thjazi at all. Similar enough to be comfortable and apart enough not to tug rough stitches in Azune’s heart loose again, ones that he had to put there now the Banner are all to be separated. Halandil moves with an elegant lethargy that Azune associates with the older soldiers he’s known, a certain economy of movement. Gentler than the old soldiers, of course. A bit more flourish maybe. That too.
(In which Hal loves all his children, including the one that Thjazi posted to his doorstep one day without any warning.)

Summary
Kattigan knows they're too late the moment they get to the kid’s side. Drops to his knees in the mud beside Azune, curled up small in the shadow of a foxhole, can already see the blood staining his hands where they’re pressed against his stomach, the pallor of his face under the muddied red shock of his hair. The reality aches in his jaw like a rotten tooth.
or, in a far less kind timeline, Azune doesn’t survive the Falconer’s Rebellion.

Summary
In Victoria’s opinion, a twenty-one year old should be, if not an expert, relatively experienced at kissing, if not at sex.
And it’s a fairly logical conclusion to arrive at: practice makes perfect.
(Javadi employs the help of Whitaker and Santos to hone her skills.)
