Summary
"I came back because…I didn't have any other option. There was nothing left for me there.” No one. Not a single soul. Just Tim, somehow still left. He doesn't know why he's the one who survived. “Nothing—nothing really left at all. The whole planet was a wasteland as far as we could tell."
-- --
Tim's world ends. He tries to go back to fix it, but that means seeing everyone he loves alive again and dealing with the lack of recognition in their eyes.Bookmarked by ericksbluelighter

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
Tim is good at galas.
No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.
Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.

Summary
reticent
(adj.) keeping to yourself; not likely to draw attention to yourself; uncommunicative
(The discussion was so lively that even my more reticent friends participated in it.)——————
Tim gets hit with Ivy’s newest strain of cuddle pollen and leaves to tough it out on his own. It’s a lot worse than he thought it’d be, and he only realizes this once his hands have started to frost over and he can barely move.

Summary
As he stumbled down the sidewalk, freshly drunk from his time at a shitty Crime Alley bar, he only longed for his family more. He wanted to see them. He wanted to go home. He wanted to yell at them tell them he was here, he's been here all along, he's back.
Jason wanted to go home.
