Summary
Dick laughs, but it’s watery. “We named him, like idiots. I know, I know, don’t name them, you get attached, but we couldn’t keep calling him Baby or M52DC16.”
“What’s his name, Dick?” Bruce coaxes as he starts planning out what he’s going to need for the fountain.
“Timothy,” Dick says fondly. “His name’s Timothy.”

Summary
And just like that, his three little brothers were asleep on him. All safe in his embrace. Part of him wanted to cocoon them in here and never let them leave. Never let Gotham lay her hands on them again. He wanted to stay in this little bubble they had created twenty six floors above the Gotham streets.
Hearing their heart beats, feeling their soft breaths against his skin, all Dick thought was how could he possibly have destroyed this?
-------
Vampire King Dick Grayson nearly got what he wanted, a world plunged into darkness and all the power he could harvest. But then he’s pulled into a different world, one where Dick Grayson is dead and his grieving family is torn to shreds. One where there is all the power for the taking but one glance at his younger brother, Tim, the one who he killed has him faltering. Is all the power worth killing him again?Bookmarked by crypticColumnist

Summary
She paused and cleared her throat. She blinked. Batman was still standing there.
“Batman. Alright. My name is Michelle Gordman. I am a therapist, though you must have seen the name card on my door. I usually take appointments, but…” She trailed off. Was she really about to offer Batman a therapy session?
What the hell, she thought to herself. She didn’t put herself through seven years of school, and choose to practice in her home city of Gotham just to balk at the first masked crusader who came in to lurk at her doorstep.it is a known fact that bruce wayne sees a therapist. it is a much lesser known fact, that batman sees the same therapist.

Summary
Child neglect isn't all bad, Tim tells himself when his parents sends apologies and mail-delivered gifts and an increased credit line for his 10th birthday. None of the other ten-year-olds have this kind of independence -- even Robin has a bedtime. And he's heard from Ives that his parents limit his "screentime", which sounds quite barbaric. So this is fine, really. He's ten and will be starting eighth grade in the fall. He doesn't need his parents in order to thrive, he can grow on his own, in the shadow of their neglect and inattention. He can be their set-it-and-forget-it kid.
-----
Tim is doing great being an independent vigilante, he's fine! He doesn't need help, he's definitely not estranged from the family -- he's just being independent.
Good thing he's part of a family of detectives who have their own ways of reaching out.
Featuring two powerpoints, one casefile, half a contract, a roomba, and several hugs.

Summary
Tim doesn't really want to have a therapy session with his own subconscious. Especially since his subconscious seems a little...off. Still, he doesn't regret the choices that led him here. He doesn't regret the role he had to play.
But Tim doesn't know that there's a timer ticking down over his head. A timer that Bruce and his brothers are trying desperately to beat.
