Summary
Tim was completely still, staring up at Dick with a kind of steely determination that was completely out of place on his young face. “You’re his brother. I thought that if there was anyone who loved him like that, it would be you.”
Dick tried to swallow, but his mouth and throat were completely dry. “It doesn’t matter,” he said hoarsely. “You can love someone to the stars and back, and it doesn’t mean you get to keep them.”
Love alone wasn’t enough, had never been enough, would never be enough. If it were, then Dick wouldn’t have had to be dragged away, kicking and screaming, from every great loss of his life. If it were, then all of Dick’s howling grief would have meant something.
—
There’s an entrance to the underworld beneath Gotham City. Tim is certain that the only way to stop Batman’s rampage is to give Bruce his son back. Dick just wants a second chance with his brother. It's an old song.

Summary
No linear narratives. Nothing is making sense in Tim's mind and since Tim is the only being that he experiences, well, he can only explain in however many words about a day living among monsters. And no, he did not kill his upstairs neighbor. No matter how much he wanted to. And no, he will not kill his family members, even though they are monsters as is the rest of Gotham.

Summary
Tim is so tired.
Beyond tired, really. Exhausted feels like a more accurate word to encompass everything he is feeling.
Exhausted from hauling himself through life; taking a single step feels like having to climb over a mountain, more often than not. Tim is exhausted from having the same conversations over and over again, conversations that he knows have meaning. ‘It gets better,’ he hears. ‘It gets easier with time. Keep your chin up, keep smiling, keep laughing.’ With every phrase they say that sounds like something out of a motivational poster in a high school’s counseling office, Tim's brain can only respond with shut up. Shut. up. SHUT. UP. SHUT UP.
And yet, the quiet scares Tim too. When it’s quiet, his thoughts can be heard with an alarming clarity. Thoughts that are from the darkest recesses of his ever-moving mind, the deepest wrinkles in the muscle that is his brain.
Oh yeah, the functioning suicidal/depressed repressed pile emotions of a father/mentor figure really didn’t help.

Summary
Tim isn't sure what started it— he never really is— but there had just been so many noises all of a sudden. All of them layered on top of each other: the TV, the clicking of Titus' nails against the floor, Damian talking to Alfred (the butler) in the next room over, the thump of Alfred (the cat) jumping from his cat tree to the ground, and the click-click-click of the gas stove turning on. All of it piling on top of each other until Tim thought he might start crying or screaming at the top of his lungs just to get all of it to stop.
(It's happened before. It'll happen again. Tim isn't sure how to stop it, though, or what the problem even is in the first place. Everything just feels like too much all of a sudden, and he's stuck feeling so angry he could hit somebody.)
He ended up running away to hide in his room like a baby. And now he's going to miss dinner.

Summary
It’s unsettling, to say the least. To see a painting of himself on the side of a building. His civilian self. There’s blood dripping down his face, and his body looks mangled and broken, even as he stands upright. The blood pools at his feet. There’s a reflection in the puddle, of himself, face clean and smiling.
‘For My Brother,’ is written in the corner, then signed with cursive letters of TJD.
Or: Tim and Jason meet in English class and get attached. It changes a lot, actually.

Summary
(It's October)
Leslie's scarf stares back at him.
"I'm glad you're here, Tim."
The hand on his knee should be comforting. Reassuring.
(Her fingertips are cold, because it's October)
He's not sure – doesn't know what he's saying or doing most days – but he thinks he says, "glad to be here."
Bruce is back, it's October, and Tim's still in May.
or; Tim goes through it bc he's my favourite character ever and i need to project.
