    Summary

    They’d been dating for over a year and Bernard still hadn’t met Tim’s family. Bernard knew that Tim was an anxious, paranoid mess, and that he was just trying to keep things under control, but still. Not knowing Tim’s family made their whole thing feel less. . .permanent. Easier for Tim to end when he got scared. Easier for Tim to leave Bernard alone. Again.

    But Bernard was determined to make this work, because this past year had been the best year of his life and that was in large part due to Tim. So he’d done what normal, healthy people did in relationships and communicated his concerns to his boyfriend.

    And Tim had proven, once again, that he actually listened to Bernard.

    Or, Bernard bonding with the Batkids while also dealing with his trauma from his parents and from the cult. And maybe finding a family along the way.

    Summary

    Tim was doing just fine on his own. He fell into a routine between school, extracurriculars, and his nightly Batstalking. Maybe his situation was unconventional, but he could take care of himself.

    Jason had something to say about that.

    OR:
    Tim may have been thirteen, but he was also a high school Sophomore and perfectly capable of faking a nanny, breaking and entering, and hacking the Batcomputer—not necessarily in that order.

    All he had to do to keep this lifestyle was maintain the ruse—easy enough when it came to his parents but a more treacherous undertaking to try to put one over on the Batman himself. And with Jason as his English tutor, Tim found himself growing perilously close to the Wayne family. Although at first content to watch them from behind his camera, it was only a matter of time before he got invested.

    Summary

    It starts with a Wayne Gala.

    Well. No. It starts three years earlier when Tim watches the T.V. with rapt attention as Robin does the quad flip that the Graysons are known for, and he pieces it together from there.

     

    or

     

    Tim Drake, intelligent as he is, decides that he needs to do something to help (and befriend) Gotham's resident vigilantes. This, of course, leads to his unbeatable method to befriending your heroes. Wherein: he becomes his own vigilante at the age of twelve, befriends the heroes, and sort of saves Gotham along the way.

    Hiccups are, of course, bound to happen. Good thing he has the Bats to help him!
