Summary
Duke thinks he’s visiting Tim’s house to check out his D&D cosplay costumes. What happens is…not that.
_____
Duke has a rush of empathy for all the stereotypical Black guys in horror movies skipping happily along to their doom, because damn it if he doesn’t trust Tim, his friend and adventuring party member, despite all the clear signs that he’s about to enter a rich white guy murder basement.
_____
Not super spoilery, but it is a missing scene from chapter 24 of Good Fellows.

Summary
Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”
Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”
Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”
“FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

Summary
Unlike me, if you are very familiar with canon (comics and etc) Batman, are aware DC stands for Disregard Canon, and want to know which bits of canon I’m picking and choosing to follow, TLDR: That Thing That Happens to Steph took place before Bruce’s time travel, Kon and Bart took place after, Cass and Duke haven’t shown up yet, the Battle for the Cowl never happened, and Bruce got Tim a car as his sixteenth birthday present, like a normal-ass billionaire, instead of debilitating trust issues.
This note is for you, if like me, you’ve come to Batman fanfic with the extent of your Batman knowledge being the Jingle Bells variation where Robin lays an egg; maybe, if you were unlucky, you watched a bad Batman movie, if you were lucky, you maybe saw a Teen Titans cartoon on a waiting room tv once, and if life was particularly chaotic, a roommate randomly forced you to watch “Under the Red Hood” with absolutely no context and not having previously been aware there was more than one Robin (the OG, Richard “Dick” Grayson - yes, the Batman IP is older than dick jokes, and now it’s too late for them to change the name).
Either way! Here’s the background what you need to know in order to make sense of this story.

Summary
In which two broken people find each other and help each other heal.
Or, it's never properly addressed in canon that Bruce was suicidal after losing Jason. Or that Tim, at 13, knew how to talk people back from the brink of suicide.
This is a story about them slowly climbing out of that pit. Moments I wish canon gave us.
Please pay attention to the tags.Bookmarked by thatcuriouscat

THE MOON KEEPING WATCH OVER ME. by orpheusaki for far2late

Summary
Tim blinks, "You've seen Aladdin?" It hadn't occurred to him that Damian had time for cartoon films in between eating the happiness of innocent children and planning world domination, or whatever it was that he did when he wasn't threatening the wellbeing of his family members.
Damian sniffs, somewhat scandalised, "Of course I have. Thomas and I found Grayson's old CDs."
Bruce grunts, "VHS tapes. Dick was a child before CDs were popular."
"VHS tapes," Damian amends, not even bothered by Bruce's very blatant eavesdropping, "In fact, we are to watch The Small Fish tomorrow after school."
"The Little Mermaid," Bruce corrects, amused.
(Tim comes to the realisation that he really doesn't know his youngest brother. That changes.)

Summary
The first time Neal Caffrey interacts with the Red Hood, Diana is pretty sure one of them is going to die.
or
Tim wants his undercover mission to be a resounding success so he can finally prove to the people who replaced him that he was valuable after all. Now if Jason would stop interrupting, that would be fantastic.
Jason would love it if Batman started including self-preservation skills in his Robins' training.
Peter would really like it if Neal could stop having really suspicious connections to people he really shouldn't have connections to.Five(ish) times Jason saves Tim and one time Tim returns the favor.
