Summary
Benoit forces himself to look up at Jud from where he was attempting to decipher the Father's scribbled notes. Jud stands there, shaky hands hanging loosely at his sides, in a dark sweater and grey sweatpants that Benoit knows are only staying up due to the efforts of some tightly-drawn drawstrings. Hair dripping, cheeks rosy, eyes bloodshot, beautiful.
Road to fucking Damascus.

Summary
Tim has made peace with the fact that he lives in a family of shifters, that he's scared of shifters, and that since he's coming into his own inheritance as a bloodsucker, he has to die.
Jason disagrees. He's going to be the big brother Tim needs, no matter the cost.

Summary
Hood grunts. He wraps the fabric quickly, tying off the end so closely to an eyebolt on the stage floor that Tim can’t, quite, fully straighten like this. With the band wrapped from his wrists to the end of his fingers, he also won’t be able to pick at the knot with his hands. That’s fine. His plan requires him to be alone with the alpha. He’ll pick his time.
“Yeah, that’s good,” Hood praises firmly. Tim wishes he didn’t react to it, that he didn’t have a weakness for praise, but a small part of him perks up from the focused anxiety to preen at the comment. I’m pathetic. Hood only rubs another hand over Tim’s hair and turns back to Jack with a final, “Good boy, baby bird. I’ll be back to collect you in a minute.”
Baby bird.
Baby bird.
Babybirdbabybirdbabybirdbabybirdbabybir-- St-stop.Stop.STOP.
He can’t afford to fall apart right now. Red Hood knows he’s Robin. A crimelord-near-Rogue with a vendetta against Batman that the Bat himself is more secretive about than normal knows that Tim Drake is Robin.
Okay, then, even the playing field. What do I know about Red Hood?

Summary
With Shroud gone and a new normal settling into place, Robert and Flambae started going steady. To both of their surprise, things were not meant to stay that way for long. Neither of them are complaining, but the drama that comes with adding a baby to your HR nightmare of a relationship and the antics that form around it might be worth complaining about.
Thankfully, the Z-Team is doing better than ever and probably mentally mature enough to be normal about this. Probably. Maybe.

even through the torture, it's the hardest goodbye by vivamus73

Summary
“Bruce, you would report parents like those to the police. And by the time I was with the Titans, I would too. And still, Bruce, still, I took it when you hurt me because—because I don’t know. Because maybe, somewhere along the way, I started pretending you weren’t my father.”
"Hurt you," Jason echoes, and now his voice isn't raspy because he's pretending to be Batman. Bruce hurt Dick. The first son, the favourite, the one most like him.
Bruce hurt him?
"Do you still not understand what you did? What you keep doing? ‘It is what it looks like.’ Funny how I only realised it after my death, after you beat me up and sent me away from my family.”
Dick stands up, all stiff movements. The light from outside hits him directly, and Jason realises he’s in a nightmare.
Jason was—he was dreaming. This—this man, hunched and shaking and bleeding—cannot be Dick. His brother’s face could never be dripping with blood from his father’s fists.
“Look. You’ve made me a victim,” Dick tells him.
OR
Dick finally realises Batman is an abusive piece of shit, and so do his brothers. What follows is never that simple.

Summary
“I just don’t understand why whatever I do, he has to have a problem with it.” Tim huffed, losing his mental fight to be mature and giving up on pretending to focus on the work he was supposed to be doing.
“Tim,” Dick sighed, pausing for a moment, seeming to mull something over. He shifted in his spot leaning against the wall and his eyes moved to lock with Tim’s. His voice lowered. “How much do you know about Talia?”
“What does that have to do with me?”
Dick huffed again, definitely a laugh. “You heard him in the transport. Don’t you think, maybe, you guys might have a little in common?”

Summary
For as long as he could remember, Dick had wanted to be a father.
“Hi,” he murmured, a smile lighting up his face even as he felt hot tears well up. “You’re safe here.”
And then his eyes lowered to the spider on the boy’s chest and all the warmth disappeared, leaving him cold and breathless and desperate.
Oh God, he thought, panic clawing at his throat. Did I have a kid with my rapist?-

Summary
“We’re with CPS,” the woman says, and your eyebrow ticks up before you can beat it into submission and hog-tie it in place. “We’re here to discuss the option of you taking guardian-ship. Your father has signed over custody.”
On instinct, you want to look over your shoulder at the mention of your father. Twenty-one years old and out of that nightmare of a house for five years, and somehow he still makes a hunted animal of you. What you say is, “I’m not the kind of guy that should have kids.”
Or: Your name is Ambrose Strider, and you are a guardian in every universe, including this one. There's also an asshole in a suit for some reason.

Summary
Instead of threatening her infant son with the boogeyman, Janet Drake tells Tim that Batman is going to come for him if he doesn't behave. Years later, Tim realises that if he wants a fast way to get adopted, all he has to do is commit a crime so that Batman will take him away.
Years later still, Tim knows that no one is coming for him, but that doesn't make him any less scared. It also doesn't make him any less interested in Batman and his Robins.

Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Summary
Well, Tim is resourceful, even if he’s a cat now. Bruce is still on patrol and won’t be back for a while, but Dick and Damian are both at the manor. Tim will make his way there, tap out morse code to explain what happened, and then they’ll get him turned back into regular ol’ Tim.
All in all, this will just be a minor setback.

Tim gets turned into a cat by magic nonsense. His family doesn't figure it out as quickly as he'd like.
