    Summary

    “I need to go,” Dick said quickly. “I, um, thanks again.”

    Bluejay smiled faintly, “No problem. I’m sorry I wasn’t quicker.”

    Dick followed his gaze downwards to his now ripped top was that revealing new bruises underneath.

    “Not your problem,” Dick replied. “I’ve had worse.”

    Bluejay’s jaw clenched, “Yeah I can imagine.”

    Dick moved to walk past when suddenly a hand shot out. It stopped before it could grasp his arm, lingering there as the boy hesitated. Slowly, Dick turned to face him.

    “I just…” Bluejay frowned, biting his lip. “There are shelters. The Wayne Foundation ones are good, they’re not trafficking fronts like the others. I know it feels like you have no choice, but there are better options out there.”

    “Yeah.” Dick managed to choke out. “Sure, there are kid.”

     

    Or: Dick isn't adopted by Bruce when his parents die. Years later he's making a living as a prostitute on the streets whilst trying to avoid Batman and his new sidekick.

    Summary

    “I just—”
    The words dissolve into wet coughing, blood spilling from his lips.
    And for the first time in his life, he has all of them listening.
    All of them looking at him.
    All of them seeing him.
    “I just wanted to be loved,” Tim chokes out.
    The world stops.
    His family freezes in horror.
    Tim’s eyes burn, tears slipping sideways into his hair.
    “Was that too much to ask for?”
    No one answers.
    Those are Tim Drake’s last words.

    Or

    Tim wakes up ten years in the past and makes sure his family is happy

    Summary

    His brothers don’t want to see him. No one does. Not after Spyral. Not after the lies. And Dick wants to scream that it’s not his fault; it never was. But he can’t.

    So he doesn’t. He’ll be fine alone anyway.

    OR: Post-Spyral. Secrets are revealed. Traumas are addressed. No-one is happy.
