Birdwatching by Asidian

Summary
He spots the robin on a tree branch maybe thirty feet away, and Tim, grinning, goes to adjust the settings on the binoculars.
It's exactly then that he realizes what's behind the bird.
Because from here, on the third story and at just this angle, there's no treeline to block his view. Behind the little robin singing on its branch, he can see the Wayne family manor, clear as anything, close enough that it almost feels like he could reach out and touch it. One of the windows on the downstairs floor is open, and it's draped with light curtains that float softly in the breeze. A moment later, a different sort of Robin bounds into view, sans mask, grin wide and bright.
Tim flinches back as though burned.

Summary
Tim's long done with the report, but he keeps putting off leaving. He isn't sure what he's waiting for. His fingers haven't moved in a long time, and his mind stutters and glitches oddly, tripping over capitalism and greed and chocolate cupcakes and cheeks eaten away by fish in the harbor.
Finally, near sunrise, Bruce turns toward him, and everything goes still and silent, like something buried in the tender place beneath Tim's rib cage is holding its breath.

Summary
The thing is, he should probably cancel.
Tim knows that.
His brain's a little swimmy, the way it always gets when he's running a high fever, and he hasn't been able to swallow enough to reach the amount of caffeine needed for his usual levels of faking it.
But it isn't very often that Dick asks for his help, anymore.

An IOU (and Other Things That Aren't Owed) by Asidian

Summary
"Alright, asshole," says Jason and plunks a folder down directly on the keyboard of Tim's laptop. "I'm calling in that IOU."
Tim doesn't startle, not visibly. But all at once there's a batarang in his hand, the blade gleaming sharp. It takes him a second to register who the intruder actually is before he gives Jason a lingering, suspicious sidelong glance and tucks it away again.
"What IOU?" says Tim. "And how'd you get in here?"
He looks like shit, frankly. There are dark smudges under his eyes, and he's lost weight since Jason's seen him last. From the coffee cups scattered around the desk, it's probably even odds that he's on at least 24 hours without sleep.
"I work in mysterious ways," declares Jason. "By which I mean your window's open. You get kind of careless when you haven't slept, Timbo."

Completely Reasonable Precautions by Asidian for Kaciart

Summary
"I don't know why we're wasting our time with him," says Dick. "Just tell him he's not good enough already."
It's a hallucination, like all the rest. Objectively, Tim understands that.
But he feels the words like an icepick in his chest all the same, and a part of him knows. This version of Dick might not be real, these words might not be real, but what he's saying is true anyway.
"Are you fucking listening to me?" says the man in the red helmet. "The big bad bat's not coming to save you." There's a crash, and when Tim turns toward it, his desk's been overturned. His laptop is lying on the floor in a tangle of cords. If any of this were actually happening, Tim might be afraid that it was broken.

Summary
‘Apologize,’ Jack spat and Tim huffed a laugh. He stole a glance at Jason and Damian before turning to face Janet.
‘I’m sorry I implied that you’re an alcoholic-’
‘No… Apologize for the display you put on in there,’ Jack seethed and that nicked Tim’s good mood a little.
He wasn’t sorry for dancing with Conner.
He didn’t think he’d ever smiled so much in his life.
Or: Conner asks Tim to dance at a fundraiser. Tim’s parents don’t like that. Fortunately, Tim has an entire family who does.

Summary
Tim knew he was fucked if only for the way that his brain was chanting Jason, like a litany. So he definitely didn’t need to hear the cold, mechanical chuckle or the chillingly delighted 'lucky me' to know that this was not good.
He took a second to look down at his coffee mournfully.
Then, he threw it at Hood’s helmet and bolted down the Tower corridor.
Or: Tim is supposed to be at Gotham Academy for a parent-teacher conference. Hood has other plans (Titans Tower AU).

Summary
“Oh, God,” Tim rasped, shaking his head wildly and closed his eyes when nausea attacked him.
That wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair. Tim had just found proof that Bruce was alive, and now he’s dying. He’s not going to save Bruce, everyone else thought he was gone and dead, so no one will go looking for the Bat.
“Tim?” Bruce asked, reaching out to him and Tim bit back a wail.
Or: after taking a blow to the head, Tim wakes up with amnesia. He's pretty sure the universe has it out for him, making him hallucinate his family while he's dying.

Summary
Even without context, as always Dick is enthralling in his storytelling. “What’s happening?” Tim asks, fascinated to know what’s got Dick so animated this time.
It’s the smallest of expressions.
Dick blinks at him, like for a moment, he forgot Tim was there.
Then he’s twisting in his chair to face him, eyes bright with the promise of a new audience. “Okay, so - remember how I told you about my new manager at the studio? Well get this - he made this new rule that audience members aren’t allowed to wear hats when they come to see the kids’ recitals. It’s part of the ‘audience dress code’, a thing which one hundred percent he just made up himself - ”
Tim watches Dick attentively. He laughs at all the right points. He even lets out a small gasp when he knows it’s expected.
And it’s good. It’s a good story, and Dick is so happy to tell it.
***
The frustrating thing when he gets like this is that it’s never triggered by anything real.

Summary
Tim is Robin to pull Bruce back, that is his objective. Not to be a partner—not to be chosen—but to be a warning light. To be a roadblock.
So, right now, he has to get between Batman and the Red Hood.
