  2. Summary

    Timothy Jackson Drake, 16, would literally rather die than submit himself to the mortifying ordeal of being known ever again.

    Tim Drake, 12, is pitifully lonely but at least he still has something resembling hope for the future. Someone will stay. Eventually…

    Timothy can solve both of their issues. He doesn’t need to submit to being known if the other person is just himself, the space beside Tim is the only place he can guarantee he’ll never be kicked out of, and he’s so good at surviving that the universe preferred to yeet him into the stratosphere rather than simply let him die. Honestly, the math just works!

    Summary

    Your world is gone. Your life is forfeit. Those are two things I cannot change, the voice warned him gently. I can give you another version of your family. But I must tell you, this world and the people you will see won't be the same. A silent death may be better than this fate.

    Once, Tim had dreamt of silent death. Once, Tim had yearned for unearned peace.

    Tim didn’t speak, and still the voice sighed. I see. I will choose a good world for you. You will fall in love with it. It will break your heart. It spoke with certainty that rang with great weight. Do you still want it?

    Tim thought of family. Of loneliness. Of all that lay in between.

    Forcibly, painfully, Tim parted his lips. Breath rattled free, and he croaked out, “Yes.”

    Oh, child, it mourned, and then a hand pressed against his chest and a scream ripped free from his body. Like the howling of a beast.

    ***

    Tim's family, planet, and universe are destroyed in a matter of years. He dies, too, in the end, but is given a second chance at existence in a different world. A world where Damian is the first Robin and everything is backwards.

    He takes it.

    Summary

    Bruce double-checks, but the single shot tore clear through Joker’s throat, leaving nothing but a bloody mess that no one could have survived. He spares half a moment to wonder who among the madman’s victims the cop wanted to avenge.

    A familiar cackle reaches his ears.

    Bruce’s head snaps back around.

    Summary

    “So what’s this about, Duke?” Bruce had settled into the chair behind his desk in his home office, but Duke had elected to remain standing.

    Duke rolled his neck, a small frown on his face. He didn’t seem sure where to start.

    “I think I'm developing a new power,” he said eventually. “Well, not a new power. A new way of using my power.

    “You know my Ghost Vision? Well,” Duke took a deep breath, straightening his shoulders out of the self-conscious hunch he’d fall into, “I think I'm seeing real ghosts now. Or at least, one ghost.”

    Summary

    "If Todd skipped out on too many family meals, Grayson would be marching over to one of his safe houses and dragging him to the manor. If Brown or Cain was gone on a mission for too long, the family would make time for them to relax and Pennyworth would make their favorite meals to entice them to dinner. If Damian was too far into his head and feeling frustrated they would give him enough space that he didn't feel coddled but also open that door for him and eventually force him out of his own head.
    But Drake... He hadn't come to family dinner for three months now, Todd never made it to the two month mark. Drake hasn't come back to the manor after a mission for anything longer than a sitrep and debrief. (Of which Drake consistently lied about and avoided medical attention every night and not once did anyone call him on it). And Drake was always in his own head and no one seemed to bother to pull him out. No one coddled, no open doors, no forcing him to float, just... letting him drown."
    ---
    Or Damian notices Tim is treated differently than the rest of the family and wants to know why and he's determined to bring him back through bonding.

    Summary

    It’s not until Tim is on the couch, a little high and snacking on four different kinds of chips, with a kitten falling asleep on his stomach, that he realizes: He's never really pictured himself getting old. Until now, when suddenly he realizes he wants to be.

    I may or may not have been extremely high when I wrote this teeny fic, and it may or may not be based on myself. And my future pet rat.
    (It has been edited while sober, don't worry.)
