Summary
He hits it because there's nothing else he's allowed to do. He can't starve his body because he has responsibilities to keep up with, he can't drink because even a moment where he's caught off guard could be terrifying and he can't smoke cigarets, because Jason does that and damn it he wants to be original.
--
"You can never do anything original, can you?" Jason prods and Tim grins, showing an impressive array of unusually sharp teeth.
"Au contraire, my dear brother"
He pulls out the little machine, blue raspberry flavored, and blows the vapor into Jason’s sputtering face.

Or; A love letter to anxiety and the shake in your hands that just won’t leave.

Summary
They drive to the drive-through a couple miles away, not the more charming and traditional walk-in shop that Dick likes to take him to when he picks him up from school. Two minutes later, they’re parked at the back of the lot, Tim twisting the plastic spoon in his cup of uneaten cookie dough ice cream, wondering if he could even swallow it past the lump in his throat.
Bruce hasn’t touched his sherbet either, just holds it in his lap. There’s a drop on the rim of his cup, lazily making its way toward his expensive slacks.
He moves before Tim can make up his mind whether to break the silence and warn him, reaching into his jacket pocket with his free hand and pulling out a familiar white pill bottle.
He sets the Prozac on the dash.

Summary
There’s a small half-moon of blood under the white of Tim’s nail where he bent it. He studies the red of it, feeling foggy and dreamlike. “Can I ask you a question?”
His brother’s eyes flick to him and away again, surprised and wary. “What?”
His nail doesn’t hurt much, just the dullest of aches when he presses down against it. “When you were homeless, you slept with people for money, didn’t you?”
Jason jerks like he’s been slapped. His knuckles are so pale where they grip the steering wheel they suddenly look more bone than flesh. “Did I -”
“Was it worth it?” Tim asks, drifting like a cloud over whatever furious reaction Jason was about to give him. “The money, I mean.”
His sternum slams into the seatbelt with bruising force. Unbraced for it, his head whips forward and back against his seat as they swerve off the road again and skid to a halt with a screech of rubber.

Summary
Dick doesn’t mean to relapse.
It’s been almost ten years since he’s been in recovery. He wasn’t planning on it being a problem again. He’s an adult now—older, stronger, more capable of finding healthy ways to cope with the stress of his life. Bruce would be so disappointed if he found out Dick had relapsed into his eating disorder because of him.
Dick can’t even say what the tipping point is, if it’s really about Bruce's untimely death or if this was simply the final straw in a long line of terrible events.

Summary
While trying to take down a drug cartel that deals with memory altering drugs, things go awry, and Batman wakes up with no recollection of the last five years.
As a result, his family must now race against time to find the antidote, while also having to deal with a Bruce who still thinks Jason is Robin. A Bruce who doesn't recognise most of them. A Bruce far less jaded and cynical than the one they're used to. A Bruce who still cares.- Language:

Summary
“Did you know I’m autistic?” Tim says, one day, when he and Steph are hanging out together. Parallel play, he thinks, realizing how much more comfortable he had always felt with her when they did their own things. Tim works on his latest case and Steph plays Bejeweled on her phone.
Steph looks up and stares at him for a moment. She hums, thoughtfully. “Yeah, I can see that.” Then she goes back to her game.
The long journey of Tim Drake learning how to unmask - and not in the way that vigilante's usually use the word.

Bookmarker's Notes
This hurt to read, not because it was anything other than fantastic, but rather because the tension and dynamics were oh so painfully realistic.
Note to self: not a comfort read, more like a body slam back into messy reality.
