Summary
Tim Drake has always been something other in every situation. He accepts that with the grace he was raised to portray. He knows what he means to the people around him and he expects it when Dick brushes past taking Robin away and making him a Justice League fugitive. He expects it when Bruce doesn't do more than nod after the year from hell. He even expects it when he returns from four years of nightmares with Ra's, victorious, but clearly not missed by the people who could have saved him. He expects it, but that doesn't make it hurt less.
Or
Ra's takes the battle with Tim a step further in new horrifying ways. Tim wins, but going home doesn't feel like a reward anymore.

Summary
Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.
There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

Summary
Simon Snow didn’t survive the White Chapel. In the wake of everything, Baz finds him in reflections, glimpses of bronze hair in the corner of his eye. There are echoes of him. They are all over Watford, in all the places they shared. Baz sees Simon in the tower where they grew up together, trapped in mirrors and glass, and maybe Simon is starting to see him, too.
