Summary
"Hey," Robin said softly. "It's okay."
It wasn't. It wasn't okay. Tim ruined everything. Now Robin was going to think that he was weird. His (hopeful) future interactions would be tainted. Tim could never see Robin in the eye again.
Tears welled up in his eyes and his throat closed in on itself. He stumbled backwards, his heart beating quick and hard against his ribs.
"Hey. Kid, you okay?” Robin looked at him worriedly. “Please don’t cry. I promise it’s okay.”
Tim mutely shook his head. He curled into himself, gripping the side of his arms tightly, trying to remember what it was like to breathe, cheeks burning hot with shame.
He was an embarrassment.

Summary
Janet Drake was a storyteller.
She loved narrating different tales to Tim. Every night without fail, before little Tim went to bed, she would tell him a story. Tim loved hearing all of them, they took him to places he could never imagine. He loved every single story that spilled from his mom's lips.
Except for The Adventures of The Naughty Boy Who Had No Name.
Whenever Tim misbehaved, Janet would make him sit down on his knees, then she would sit in front of him, sometimes on a chair, sometimes on the floor, and she would tell him stories of a boy who was a bad child.
A boy who never listened to his parents. A boy who was arrogant and selfish. And in every story, the boy always ended up dead.
Tim was smart. He knew when the stories were about him.
Janet always loved visuals. She described in detailed length the many different ways the boy died. Gruesome, painful, disgusting ways.
Janet was an excellent storyteller. And Tim was afraid of those stories coming to life.

Summary
Todd huffed and crossed his arms. “Bullies, the whole lot of you.”
“The way I see it,” Drake said. “The only bully here is you, Mr. Orphan-Insulter.”
“I’M AN ORPHAN TOO?!”
“So is everyone here, you’re not special!” Drake rolled his eyes.
“I’m not.”
As soon as he said it, he regretted it. So far, he’d been an observer, holding himself to a higher standard rather than deigning to join the scrum, not even saying a word. But now… All eyes were on Damian.

The Time I Got Clickbaited By A Cat by quotidian_void
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)

Summary
The title says it all. Tim got clickbaited by a cat into reliving his greatest fear.
~
“Mrrr,” she pointed at a tent. It was the Horror House. One of the worst scary businesses in Gotham. Toddler parties happened there.
“Why did you take me to—” Tim widened his eyes. “Hang on a minute.” He pulled out his wrist holo-computer and looked up his location. “Fucking hell, T. You led me right at the edge of Fort Clinton!” He turned to glare at the cat. “You want me to get fear-gassed?”
T smiled. Creepily.
“Riiiight,” Tim narrowed his eyes. “Well, it’s been fun and all, but, uh, I really need to get home.” He took a step back. “I know you’re a smart one, so you can probably take care of yourself. Don’t hold it against me for what I’m about to do.” He broke into a run.
T wasn’t any old mangy cat. Tim, through his love for cats and the distracting growing pile of dread in his stomach, had been ignoring all the warning signs. Cats that can understand what a human is saying on the first meeting and can lead directions? That was a neon sign saying danger.
Tim was right, Damian would be jealous. Jealous of his utter blissful naivety.

“I was— I was— Red Hood p— pressed the kn— knife to my throat again and I— I—”
“Shhh, it’s alright.”
“I thought I was going to die. There was b— blood everywhere and I couldn’t—”
Bruce gripped him tightly. “You’re alright, Tim. You’re safe now. You’re safe.”
“I—” Tim wriggled out of Bruce’s hold, needing to see him again, when someone else caught his attention.
Over near the doorway, Jason stood. His brows were knitted together in worry. He looked guilty and horrified, and at the same time, like he wanted to help but was hesitating.
But all Tim could see were his glinting green eyes.

Summary
His eyes stayed on the corner where the white light glowed, unwavering and unwilling to look away from the danger.
The danger.
The danger that was a boy with no legs who glowed white.
The danger that had eyes that shone green.
A bright, illuminating green that pierced through the dark and emanated the promise of blood and pain. The green that had taken over his entire vision at Titans Tower and brought out the rawest, most broken-down parts of him. The green that had belonged to his personal torturer who slit his throat and left him for dead.
And it was slowly approaching him, inching closer and closer at a sickeningly slow pace, playing with him, toying with him.

Summary
He hesitated, hesitated but nonetheless replied, “I got blasted by cuddle pollen. It’s why I tripped. It’s why I got caught.”
The line went dead silent.
Tim clenched his fists as the pale figure uncovered his face. “I’m sorry.”
The line split off into a cacophony of sounds. But Tim couldn’t hear any of it, because the stone and crumbles of cement and wood slipped off the purple suit and the pale man sat up, a hand going to his sickeningly green hair.
He was trapped. Trapped within a building’s remains with a conscious Joker, dipped head-to-toe in cuddle pollen which was already starting to become close to unbearable without human touch.
OR
A cuddle-pollened Tim gets stuck in a collapsed building with the Joker.

She looked at him. Really looked at him.
Nightwing was trembling. She could see the quivering of his shoulders now. The grave expression he had on, she now spotted, was just a mask for how scared he really was.
But… why?
“There— there are some— some people,” he went on to say, “They’re after us to r— rape my little brother and I— I can’t fight them while carrying him too. I need— I need your help. Please.”

Sanguine Clouds Through Hazy Thought by quotidian_void

Summary
As he meandered through the hallways, he barely acknowledged the whispers until two words caught his ear.
“Gutter rat.”
He turned from his course and walked straight to the freshman douche who said it. Without hesitation or thought, he pulled his fist back and punched him.
It was the same punch Jason taught him how to use.
He punched him again. Then he couldn’t stop. All he could hear was the sound of fist on flesh. All he could see was blood pooling under his fists.
Someone pulled him away, but the haze of anger and grief still stayed. He didn’t struggle. Numb to his bones.
He wondered if this was how Jason had felt, in that warehouse before he died.

He gritted his teeth at the surge of anger that rose up on hearing her voice.
“You’re early.”
“That’s what happens when you figure out some shit. Like, for example, you’ve been lied to.”
He could feel the surprised intrigue in her voice, “Really? How so?”
“Oh, you know,” Jason laughed breezily. “Seeing as you’re the one who’s been fucking lying to me.”

Summary
“I love all my children equally,” Bruce said, smiling at the camera.
At the millenia-old answer to the equally old question of “Who is your favorite child”, the people in the interview laughed. As was the only appropriate reaction to the answer.
Tim laughed too. Along with his adopted siblings next to him. His lips parted in a wide smile and his eyes scrunched up as a soft chuckle left his throat.
But inside, Tim was seething.
I love all my children equally.
Bullshit, Tim thought through clenched teeth. Bull-fucking-shit.

Summary
At first, it wasn’t a problem. At first, it was just a weight on his chest that made it slightly harder to smile.
Then it got just a little bit heavier, making small tasks harder to do.
It wasn’t the first time he felt it, so he paid no heed and went on with his days. He woke up bright and early, got Arthur’s breakfast prepared, did his rounds for Gaius, cleaned the king’s bedroom, scribed his speeches, laundered his clothes, polished his suit, sharpened his sword, saved Camelot from yet another attack—
He did everything according to a perfect routine, from sunup to sundown.
Until one day… he stopped.

The Future Is Set In (Eroding) Stone by quotidian_void

Summary
It was a normal enough night. Nothing was out of the ordinary during patrol and no major rogues had been spotted. Everyone was home and at ease. It was quiet, pleasant and calm.
So no one had given a second thought when Bruce disappeared into the medbay, muttering about getting an aspirin for a headache. That was the first sign.
He was in his Batman suit despite the fact that they had already changed half an hour ago. That was the second sign that they all missed.
Tim should have known something was up. Then maybe, what happened next could have been avoided.

“I want to thank you,” he said. “For being there for Tim when he needed it.”

“Oh, Mr. Batman, sir!”
He froze.
“I’m so glad I found you!”
“What happened?”
He was dead, he was dead, he was going to die. The people said that the Batman didn’t kill, but no one knew for sure. And Jason was currently holding a jacked tire of his very expensive and probably very precious car. He was dead.
“I saw the man who mugged my sister running over there.”
Wait, what?
“Come on, come on, he’ll get away!”
Jason watched as the kid’s small shadow tugged at Batman’s cape and started leading him away from the alley.
