Summary
The holidays are Tim's most favorite time of year.
He doesn't mean that like most people mean it, where they say "holidays," but they really only celebrate the one, and all the others are just happening at the same time. Tim celebrates ALL the holidays.
He's usually very good at keeping the various family tradition stories straight, too. He's been Jewish; he's been Christian; he's been pagan; he's been Muslim. Sometimes all at the same time. But this year...well, this year the Waynes are suddenly getting involved, and Tim starts to realize how hard it is to keep stories straight and less-than-stellar upbringings hidden when people are actually listening to you.
It's weird, Tim decides. And he's not sure he likes it.
(A year in the life of Tim Drake, as told through the various holiday parties of the Gotham elite and the unexpected lessons on privilege, bias, and various -isms that come with 'em. And maybe a little bit of friendship and understanding along the way, since we all know this has to end with Tim joining the Batfam early, right?)

Summary
"Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”
“Penelope?” Tim asked.
“Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”
--
Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all.- Language:

Summary
“Tim,” Bruce started. The conversation felt as if it was moving in slow motion, and Tim’s hands shook. He forced himself to meet Bruce's gaze— in a fucked up way, like pressing down on a bruise, he wanted to see what Bruce looked like when he finally said it, finally said he was a —
“I know you’re transgender.”
— dragon. Wait, what?

or, three times Tim thought someone figured out he was a dragon (and one time they actually did)

Summary
Greg could pinpoint the exact point that Tom started treating him differently because of the blackmail.
It was when the insults ramped up.
“Here, cocksucker,” Tom would bluster, shoving the last coffee on the cardboard to-go tray at Greg. “This one is yours.”
Greg didn’t know when Tom had memorized his coffee order.
Greg was just starting to accept the man’s strange behavior.
“H-hey, Tom,” he said, walking by the glass doors of the man’s office like he did every morning.
Tom jumped up, rushing out from behind his desk as he scrambled to join Greg in the final few yards of his morning commute.
“Hey-y-y-y, Greg,” Tom said, his eyes flicking up and down Greg, taking in the amature swipes of the comb that had finished styling his hair this morning and the buttons on his shirt that were actually done one off, making a wrinkle near Greg’s crotch that made it look like he was sporting a boner. “How was your. . . . morning?”
