    Summary

    Tim can see so clearly how this is going to go. Batman will never kill the Joker. Jason will take that as proof that Bruce doesn't care about him, has never cared about him. Bruce will try and try to prove him wrong, twisting himself up tighter and tighter and doing worse and worse every time. Jason will see confirmation of Bruce's disinterest in every twitch, and Bruce will see the evidence of his own failure in every rebuff.

    Sometimes Tim is so, so tired.

    Summary

    It takes Tim three weeks to realize that he’s been exposed to something. His reactions have been off since that night at the harbour when Dick almost got thrown in the river and Bruce shoved Tim to one side to get to Dick and Tim fell face forward into a weird pile of grey dust and choked on it. The dust didn’t have any immediate effects, nothing obvious. It just made him gasp and cough and made his eyes burn under the cowl for a few seconds. Then he needed to check on Dick and then they got back to the Cave and he checked on Dick again and then Dick was saying something about a movie night and Tim found himself smiling and then he stayed over for dinner and the movie and thought nothing of it. It’s only now, three weeks later, that he wakes up in his room in the Manor and thinks wait, what? It’s only now, now that he’s flooded with sudden panic, that he realizes that he hasn’t felt anything resembling panic for three full weeks.

    Summary

    For a detective, it takes Tim an embarrassingly long time to realize what’s happened. It’s whatever, he thinks. Let them ignore him. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t care.

    He’s so busy telling himself not to care that he only realizes that this is something — that something is actually, for real, wrong — weeks later, when he goes to the gala for the new hospital and Dick looks straight through him. Dick. Dick Grayson just blanks Tim, completely. It’s like getting shot through the heart.

    Summary

    When he wakes up in the dark, bound, a rag in his mouth, Tim’s initial response is annoyance. He’s busy — he’s got three cases wrapping up, there’s an important vote of the board coming up, he’s finally almost nailed the latest update to his suit — and he really doesn’t have time for a kidnapping or an interrogation or a torture session or whatever the hell this is. It’s only when he shifts and a smaller body, at his back, shifts against him that his heart rate kicks up. It’s only when his hands reach out and the hands that meet his are small and gloved and Damian’s that his annoyance is swamped in terror.

    Summary

    There’s not really a point in owning a car, especially with the cost of insurance. With the threat of student debt looming overhead like a cloud, Bernard can’t afford to buy a car without help, and there’s no way he’ll ever ask Tim.

    So Bernard doesn’t really drive. He’s happy to let his weirdly specific driving skills get swept under the rug, because the thing he has with Tim still feels delicate and new, and he doesn’t want to ruin it by bringing up that his uncle was in a gang and hey, he just happened to teach Bernard how to drive. Bernard wants to avoid any kind of conversation around crime in Gotham, actually. Especially after what happened in high school.

    It’s not like he’s ever going to need to drive a getaway car, anyway. As far as Bernard is concerned, it’ll never come up.

    Bernard learned to drive from his henchman uncle. The last place he expects to use this skill is at a dinner with his boyfriend's family.
