    Summary

    The thing was, Tim’s secrets had secrets. He knew, for example, that Jason Todd-Wayne hadn’t just been Robin.

    He’d also been Nighthawk.

    ***

    Or, Jason created an additional secret vigilante identity before his death, unbeknownst to anyone except Tim, who watched him from the shadows. Tim takes up the mantle after Jason dies, a decision that might just change Tim’s life — and Gotham — forever.

    Summary

    'Everything crystalized and solidified in his mind as all the data converged. There it was, the answer he’d been looking for since the night he’d come down to find Damian in Robin red, green, and gold. He guessed he was finally ready to see it, instead of turning away and clinging to the past. Clinging to a relationship that no longer existed.'

    Or:

    Seven times Tim and Dick didn't reconnect, and how Tim still managed to heal, find love, and cleanly break from the Bats without them realizing.

    Title from Dua Lipa's 'Don't Start Now'

    Summary

    "I swear there was a Robin in between the one with weird panties, and the tiny new one with the katanas, and I don't mean the girl Robin!"

    "Oh, shut up dude. You talk about this every time we drink. I told you it's that mandela effect thing everyone's obsessed with. You're just easily influenced."

    "You never believe me."

    "Because you're never making any sense, remember that time you thought your apartment was haunted? We get there with the boys and what do we find?– a raccoon in the vents! that's what."

    "That animal was possessed!"

    "You're the one possessed, motherfucker. Possessed with bullshit!"

    A noise on the right startles the two goons, and they jump back as a scrawny teenager steps out from a dark corner of the bar before approaching their table.

    "… What can you remember about that Robin?" He asks, taking out a tape recorder from his hoodie pocket.

    Summary

    At fourteen, Tim Drake is no stranger to loneliness. But when his parents die in a plane crash, and a will reveals that Bruce Wayne is his biological father, he’s dropped into a world of vigilantes, legacy, and disappointment. Bruce, caught off-guard and not ready for more family, keeps his distance.

    Tim doesn’t push. He’s used to being a shadow.

    But shadows notice things. They listen. They help. And while Bruce avoids his newest son, Alfred brings him in—gently, steadfastly, and without question. Tim finds belonging not in the Cave, but in quiet acts of care. In warm mugs of milk. In folded laundry. In the faint scent of his grandmother’s perfume still lingering in the halls.

    Bruce may not be ready yet. But Tim is already home.

    Summary

    “You’re fond of him,” Xiao Wei says as they approach the doors of the Palace of Entertainment.

    “You’ll have to clarify, I am fond of many,” James says as he opens the door for Xiao Wei. “After you, my dear princess,” he bows.

    “It’s different with Sherlock, you cannot fool me James,” Xiao Wei states as she swishes on by, inside into the cooler lobby.

    James’ grin twists a bit, going sharp as his eyes are going dark, eyes of a shark as Xiao Wei needlessly bleeds at a wound that shouldn't be touched. “Yes, yes, it is different with him. I tend to keep it that way.”

    ~~~

    Or maybe Sherlock getting shot in front of James fucks him up more than he thought it would and it becomes everyone's Problem and doesn't entirely change the course of things, but dramatically changes their entire relationship.
