Summary
When Dick finally hooks up with Jason, he doesn't expect it to send him into a fit of nesting. In an attempt to soothe Dick's instincts, Jason brings Tim along to be his "pup." Now, Dick has two alphas in his nest, and they're eager to please.
Jason grins wolfishly, eyes dancing to Tim, who’s red-faced and pressed into Dick’s bosom. He ducks to lick at Dick’s ear. “You want me to give you another pup, mama? Want me to fuck you in your nest, with your puppy here?”

Summary
At the sound of a struck match, Tim twisted, fixed on the flame. “What?” His eyes followed the movement of Jason lighting his cigarette, and snuffing out the match in the dirt. The Florentine countryside was evidently quite dry, so he dug it in extra hard.
For a while, they watched each other, until Tim sniffed the air and said, “You smoke Marlboros.”
“That’s not in my personnel file?”
“No, it…” he caught himself and shook his head, once, like he didn’t mean to and had to catch himself again. Jason had thrown him, somehow. “It is. Ha.”
“Ha,” Jason repeated back, now thrown, himself. “What else is in there?” Beyond the cliff, a firework exploded in brilliant blues and greens, peacock-colored. It lit Tim’s left cheek and eye in cerulean. He was alien, cut from Kryptonite or something like it, horribly powerful and difficult to look at.
Tim said, “your shit schedule,” and turned back to the sky.(Tim asks Jason to help him work an undercover op in Italy. Things get complicated.)

Summary
Tim Drake—a bored, wealthy, 18-year-old, who never became the next Robin. He maintains his obsession with Batman and Robin, and continues to follow, investigate, and photograph Batman and his close associates. He knows the identities of every, or almost every, Bat family member and some other heroes. He’s smart, he’s being recruited by all kinds of universities and government agencies for his programming and hacking skills, but…his life is empty. He wants something exciting to happen. Anything.
He never dreamed of actually stepping foot in the same bar as Jason Todd, his favorite enigma, but boredom will push a heinously wealthy honors student to do stupid things.

Summary
Leslie confirmed what he already knew: Hanahaki. A single bloom, but certainly there; developed enough that it had been growing for “a few months, at least.”
“Seventeen days,” he’d said, and her brow had furrowed before she told him that it was virulent, then, and he better buck up and say what needed to be said. “It’s not that simple,” he’d told her.
“It never is, Tim, but neither is dying.”

Summary
"Wouldn't I look sexy in that?" she says, half-joking as she turns to Tim.
Oh.
Oh no.
That is very much not Tim she’s looking at.
Tall and gorgeous flushes a pretty shade of pink, making him look a lot softer than his tough-boy aesthetic might suggest. He looks familiar in a way that tugs at her brain, but she can’t really imagine forgetting a face like his, what with the full lips and long lashes and prominent, slightly crooked nose.
Stephanie Brown, you are a walking disaster.
Steph meets a hot guy at the mall and scores herself a date—and her picture in the tabloids, but who cares about that?
