    Summary

    The pain is no longer sharp—just deep and consuming. It throbs with his heartbeat. Every pulse reminds him he’s still here.

    Still breathing.

    Still inconveniently alive.

    Tim considers staying right where he is up against the tree.

    The bleeding will do the hard part—eventually. Hypothermia would help. He’s already soaked from the river anyway and the night air is cold enough to bite. He could close his eyes—rest maybe—stop fighting for once.

    The city lights blur and flicker in the distance.

    No one would know exactly where he is. Maybe not for another few hours or so. They’d search for a while, then when they find Tim maybe he won’t be here anymore.

    His good hand rests limp over his stomach.

    I’m so tired...
    He thinks bleakly the kind of tiredness that settles into your bones and not just your muscles.

    Tim’s eyes flutter shut against the night. Keeping them open requires too much effort.

    His breathing slows, the sound of the water trickling by keeps him semi present, and for a moment—suspended between pain and sleep—Timothy Drake genuinely hopes he doesn’t wake up.

    Or: Tim gets into a motorcycle accident.

    Summary

    He should be sad, right? Jason stared at his mother’s lifeless body and all he could feel was an overwhelming numbness. A feeling so blank and hollow it could rival the stillness of Catherine’s body in the alley. The quiet sniffles from his brother next to him was what finally pulled him out of his own head.

    “We have to move her.”

    “What?” Tim looked up at his brother shocked as tears finally began to stream down his face.

    “She can’t stay here. Someone will eventually notice her body and report it.”

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OR

    An AU where Jason and Tim are brothers who hide the fact that their mother is dead to avoid being split up by the foster care system.

    Inspired by the movie What We Hide starring McKenna Grace

    Summary

    The thing is, he should probably cancel.

    Tim knows that.

    His brain's a little swimmy, the way it always gets when he's running a high fever, and he hasn't been able to swallow enough to reach the amount of caffeine needed for his usual levels of faking it.

    But it isn't very often that Dick asks for his help, anymore.

    Summary

    In the interest of providing Severus Snape additional strength to withstand Voldemort's Legilimency, Remus Lupin is recruited to participate in a utilitarian marriage bond with him. Remus's distraction during the ceremony leads to an unexpected side effect of the bond.

    ***

    “That’s it?” Remus said, somewhat incredulously, as the light faded away. He’d expected more, somehow.

    Severus nodded, lifting his hand to study the ring on his finger. “Congratulations, against all expectations, you succeeded in participating in the simplest of rituals.”

    Remus felt a twinge of annoyance at his words, but it was overlaid confusingly with a sense of satisfaction. He frowned, trying to puzzle out why he would feel satisfied at Severus’s insult.

    An expression of concern crossed Severus’s face, and he lowered his hand. He looked at Remus, his brows drawn together. Then his eyes widened, and surprise flooded Remus. It quickly turned to shocked anger.

    “Albus, we may have a problem,” Severus growled.
