Summary
It was ridiculous to wait on your own death. Trying to guess when it would arrive or running from it, only for the grim reaper to stare you dead in the eyes one day. He wanted to meet him on his own terms.
So he set himself a countdown. One year to live life to its fullest, not putting things off for the next time or waiting around. He had told himself that he wouldn’t let a single chance go, that this would lead him to becoming the greatest version of himself.
He wasn’t sure if he had kept that promise. But at least he was quite contempt with what was now awaiting him.
Tims feet were now dangling off the top of the skyscraper he had sneaked up on.
OR: Tim is suicidal. Jason just became Red Hood and is trying to throw some Guys off of the same Rooftop that Tim is trying to kill himself on. Chaos ensues.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Are black cats really bad luck? Or just a set of mischevious brothers by 5carlettanager (SillyKlonk)

Summary
Tim really never intended for Damian to find out that the cat hed been hanging out with for the past 7 months was actually... Well... Him.
He only wanted to spy on Damian to be prepared for any future murder attempts ok!
So hes very pleasantly suprised when the little assassin just accepts it and emedietly their relationship turns from "incompatible brothers who inexplicably hate eachother" to "mischevious youngest siblings scheeming to prank the shit out of the rest of their family". Maybe this wont turn out as bad as hed thoughr after all?

Summary
Ornithomancy is the practice of divining omens/messages from birds by their flight patterns, cries, and calls.
If someone asked Tim if he ever practiced the art of ornithomancy, he would flat out say, “Nah.” But he now realizes that reading the Batfamily’s mind was essentially the same thing.
He didn’t think that his power would get him into so much trouble, but he should’ve known better. He also didn’t think that they would ever find out about his ability, but as always, Tim was wrong.
