Opaque Tears by quotidian_void, RumoredToBeCygnus

Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
30 Oct 2025

Summary

“What are you going to do to me?” Tim could hear himself rasp out, because even through this fog, he can recognise that snake-shark-prowl of his parents, the one where they had successfully engineered a good deal. (Dimly, he felt his hands flickering in and out under the table.)

“You are nothing without us,” Jack repeated. “You may as well be of use finally. With your ability, and the fact that you’re that silly sidekick, you’re going to bring pride to our name. And money.”

Oh dear.

They were going to sell him.

They were going to sell him, and Bruce wouldn't know, because he was going to be sold in the metahuman market and Batman didn’t know his partner was a metahuman.

4 Times Jason Hid His Trauma + 1 Time Tim Helped Him by quotidian_void, RumoredToBeCygnus

Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Summary

Exactly what the title says but anyway:
Tim ground his teeth furiously and held out his arm again. Jason was clearly Not Okay and he was ignoring that and spraying disinfectant on Tim’s hand.
Any questions he would ask, Jason would redirect. “Have you eaten? I swear you’re too scrawny” or “We’ll talk about the paleness of my skin after you fix the paleness of yours” or “I’ll stop avoiding if you start drinking more water”.
And then he never did.

Summary

“Your job is to assassinate Technoblade. You've been appointed as his personal servant, so act like it.”

The tall teenager’s lips twitched, before they schooled themselves into a more blank face, wiping the slate of the emotions, as they were taught to. Simply nodding, they turn and walk back out the alleyway, leaving nothing but moonlight and stardust in their wake.
Or:

Ranboo is sent to assassinate Prince Technoblade. He doesn't expect that the man would show him care enough to make him doubt his job.

Summary

Numb.
That was how Tim awoke.
Over the past week, weather begun frosting over in New York. It welcomed malevolent rain that congealed on the streets, and the ominous rumbling of thunder. This should have undoubtedly alarmed the undercover man; however, he bounded on with his days, blissfully oblivious. Now, as orange rays of sunlight illuminate his apartment at dawn, Tim was forced to belatedly confront his mistake.
He should’ve realised that the wailing rainstorm from the night before was a premonition for when he awoke with no feeling in his throat.
OR
Tim’s old scar from his fight with Jason flares up in the cold weather and leaves him mute for the day. He is still undercover as Neal Caffrey so, of course, everything spirals out of control from there.
Why’s he bleeding out on the FBI office floor?
