Summary
Tim Drake is good at surviving.
He knows how to keep his head down, how to read a room, how to make himself useful enough to be tolerated. Between school, a café job, and a home that never quite feels like one, Tim doesn’t expect much more than that.
Babysitting Damian Wayne was supposed to be simple. Temporary. A paycheck.
Instead, Tim finds himself pulled into a family that notices too much, bruises that linger, smiles that don’t reach his eyes, silences that say more than words ever could.
The Batfamily sees one of their own.
And Tim?
Tim is learning what it feels like when someone stays.- Language:

Summary
“I need to go,” Dick said quickly. “I, um, thanks again.”
Bluejay smiled faintly, “No problem. I’m sorry I wasn’t quicker.”
Dick followed his gaze downwards to his now ripped top was that revealing new bruises underneath.
“Not your problem,” Dick replied. “I’ve had worse.”
Bluejay’s jaw clenched, “Yeah I can imagine.”
Dick moved to walk past when suddenly a hand shot out. It stopped before it could grasp his arm, lingering there as the boy hesitated. Slowly, Dick turned to face him.
“I just…” Bluejay frowned, biting his lip. “There are shelters. The Wayne Foundation ones are good, they’re not trafficking fronts like the others. I know it feels like you have no choice, but there are better options out there.”
“Yeah.” Dick managed to choke out. “Sure, there are kid.”
Or: Dick isn't adopted by Bruce when his parents die. Years later he's making a living as a prostitute on the streets whilst trying to avoid Batman and his new sidekick.
