Summary
“Baby Bird?” Jason’s voice shifted, softened into something almost fragile, as if he were speaking to a child. Maybe, in his eyes, Tim was exactly that. The familiar nickname—so wrong, so tender—sent a tremor down Tim’s spine. Jason never called him that. Jason never spoke to him with warmth.
Jason hated Tim.
He shut his eyes tight, praying this was just a cruel dream. But then warm hands cupped his face, grounding him. A metallic clatter echoed through the cave, sharp and final. The gun had hit the floor.
“No, no, no—don’t close those blue eyes, Baby Bird. Look at me,” this time Jason’s voice cracked into a plea. Every word trembled with fear, with a need that made Tim’s chest tighten painfully. Tim bit down on a sob, the taste of salt and blood filling his mouth, forcing himself to lift his gaze and meet the toxic green fire of Jason’s eyes once more. He could feel the tremor in Jason’s hands, the way his knees pressed into the cold floor, and it made his own body ache with tension.
Or,
Tim wakes up in Gotham, which looks too foreign, but he finds a home there.

Summary
There were dates in the margins. And Damian noticed something peculiar.
The drawings stopped around the time he joined the family.
“You draw,” he said one evening, when they were both working late at the cave again.
Tim glanced up, blinking. “What?”
“You used to draw. All the time.”
There was a beat. A flicker of recognition in Tim’s eyes—then a shrug.
“Not really anymore.”
-Or when Tim learns that he is also matter.

Summary
Tim got sent to the principal’s office anyway because apparently flipping someone over your shoulder is “excessive force” even if they started it and even if you used the minimum amount of spine rearrangement necessary.
So now he had a disciplinary warning, no lunch, and a quiz on derivatives.
By fourth period his brain felt like it had been replaced with warm oatmeal. He got one question wrong because he wrote the answer in Cyrillic out of sheer sleep deprivation. The teacher circled it in red and wrote “????” which felt deeply judgmental.
-Where Tim found out in a hard way that he's not always right.

Summary
The grandfather clock ticked ominously.
Tim’s eyes widened slowly.
“Oh my God,” he whispered. “I’m alone.”
He made coffee at three in the afternoon after that with absolutely no one saying, “Tim, perhaps water occasionally?” He even wandered into Bruce’s study just because he could.
Sat in Bruce’s chair and swiveled once.
Twice.
Then immediately stopped because somehow even empty, the room radiated Disappointed Father Energy.
“Right,” Tim muttered. “Forgot this room is haunted.”
OR
When Tim just got back from school breakout and he had too much fun at the Manor. Key word: too much.

“Describe the weapon,” Bruce said.
“Knife,” Tim replied.
“Yes, I gathered that.”
“Small. Metal. Pointy. Very on-brand.”
“Tim.”
Tim frowned slightly, watching the bruise continue its quiet rebellion under his skin.
“It didn’t look special,” he admitted. “Just… a knife.”
Jason snorted. “Congratulations. You’ve been stabbed by the world’s most suspiciously dramatic ‘just a knife.’”
OR
Where Tim got stabbed and everyone was making a big deal out of it.

Summary
Jason planted one foot, grabbed the handle to steady himself, and kicked hard just above the lock.
The door flew inward with a sharp bang, rebounding off the wall.
It wasn’t a room.
It was a cupboard.
And there, crammed into the back corner beneath a row of hanging coats, was a kid.
OR:
Jason finds a young Tim locked in a closet at a gala. He reacts accordingly.

Shadows and Reflections by Imbecamiel

Summary
The Bats were not actually invulnerable, no matter how hard they worked to give that impression.
Jim Gordon learned that early, back when Batman was a new phenomenon in Gotham. When he was very much alone, short on allies, hated and feared by most of the police force with nearly as much intensity as the criminals on the streets.
Years later, it seems Red Hood is determined to prove that whatever his dad can do, he can do better. Or worse, where injuries are concerned.
(Part one: Gordon helps an injured first-year Batman. Part two: Gordon intervenes when an injured Red Hood is caught in a bad situation. Part of that intervention involves calling his dad.)

Summary
“Dick,” the therapist said seriously. “Why are you here?”
Dick floundered, searching for words that wouldn’t come. “I…” He thought of Catalina’s hands washing soap from his body, massaging his back, feeding him sweet strawberries one by one. “I… I had a girlfriend.”
It doesn’t matter if Dick always feels Catalina's hand on the back of his neck, or her breath ghosting against his lips. He needs Nightwing. He needs to do good. How else will he counterbalance the sin weighing on his soul? So he’ll lie to his brothers, to Bruce, to Alfred. He’ll even lie to his reflection in the mirror. Because he knows that he'll be alright eventually. He'll be fine.
He'll be totally okay.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Summary
Jon is crying over his mom’s chest when he remembers her phone. Thankfully he’s memorized her password, despite his mom not approving of him knowing. Not allowing hesitation, he calls his dad. He puts the phone on speaker, squeezing his mom’s hand in his, wishing beyond anything that she would squeeze back. It rings, and rings, and rings-
And he doesn’t pick up.
He sobs, wanting to curse him out for ignoring him, for not being here when he needs him. When mom needs him. He doesn’t dial again, not knowing how much time his mom has before she’s really truly gone. He knows sometimes people can be brought back. Even if Jon doesn’t know how, someone does. Someone has to save her. Even if he gets in trouble, gets arrested or punished for hurting her, he needs help. He dials 911.
Unlike his dad, they pick up right away. Jon doesn’t wait for the lady to finish her introduction before he’s blurting out-
“I killed my mommy.”

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
Clark swallows, then takes a tentative step forward, then another. Soon, he’s standing right in front of it, his heart pounding in his chest.
He takes a breath, then looks into the crib.
His stomach drops again.
“Oh.”
“I’m so sorry,” Lena says quietly. Her voice shakes a little.
Clark doesn’t reply. His eyes are locked on what’s in the crib, taking in the round cheeks, the small fists, the thick, dark hair.
He doesn’t need to breathe, technically, but he feels like all the oxygen in his lungs has been stolen anyway.
After what feels like an eternity, they scrunch up their face, wiggle a little, yawn, and then slowly open their eyes.
Blue.
Bright, otherworldly blue eyes, just like his own, stare back at him.

Summary
Dick stood stock still, his heartbeat hammering in his ears. As the rain pattered against his suit, his shoulder throbbed violently. The man in front of him was talking, but Dick couldn’t hear what he’d said. The rain was so loud. He felt something awful crack open inside him that he’d carefully never examined before.
Years of pushing every painful thing aside have built up a heavy debt, and it's time for it to be paid. Dick Grayson is due to face the storm.
