    Summary

    She was born Timothea Caroline Drake, a nod to her grandparents.

    Her parents loved her, they did, but they loved their work- the thrill of traveling just a little bit more sometimes. She never forgets how things looked as John and Mary Grayson fell. She never forgets that loud thud. Neither did her parents. Somehow it made them even more protective, despite how it also made them grow more distant.

    They are seldom around. They put her in boarding school. But she's smarter than anyone gives her credit for- she tweaks the school attendance records, forges her father's signature, mimics her mother's voice. It grants her the freedom to do what she wants. She rarely has the company of her parents, but she does get to have Robin, even if he doesn't know she's watching. She absolutely adores Jason Todd- wishes Wayne could see what she sees.

    Except Robin dies- and takes her heart right with him. Then her parents were abducted, held for ransom, and despite the authorized payout they died too...

    Now she's Thea "Birdie" Cobblepot, Jason Todd is back from the dead, Bruce Wayne is on her shit list, and if that damn clown dares to so much as touch Jason again she'll start a whole war to end his miserable life.

    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."

    Summary

    The kid was going to die at this rate, whether or not Jason had anything to do with it. Apparently dead Robins were just a thing, now, and Bruce didn’t give a shit whether they lived or died.

    There was something almost comforting about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.

    There was something fucking infuriating about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.

    Well. If those fucks didn’t care about their baby bird now, Jason would just have to make them care. And he had a few ideas on just how to do that.

    Robin might get a little broken in the process, but what was a little kidnapping and torture between friends?

    ***

    a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Steph. And Dick. And Cass. And...

    Jason may have a problem.

    Less crack-y than it sounds. This is mainly hurt, angst, and reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come! There *will* be a happy ending.
