Summary
He’s nine again– nine and new and knows so many things now so rather than try to go back–
He thinks he has the chance to make things right.
The bright blue trainers he puts on are a pair he hasn’t worn in forever, something he never thought about after he grew out of them (will grow out of?) a year from now, and sets off into the night and into the rain.
The plan he has in his brain is not really a plan, moreso just a couple of half thrown ideas and maybe five steps into building back the life he had in the most painless way he could.
Maybe, he thinks, maybe this plan can start off with the family he misses– because he’s sixty and most of them too injured or too old or too dead–
Call him selfish but he misses them. He would rather find them than get himself back into that lonely existence he called a life before he woke up at nine.
Dick makes do because that’s all he can do really.

Dick gets sent back in time, but don't worry, he's got this. (Probably)

Summary
Tim Drake is good at surviving.
He knows how to keep his head down, how to read a room, how to make himself useful enough to be tolerated. Between school, a café job, and a home that never quite feels like one, Tim doesn’t expect much more than that.
Babysitting Damian Wayne was supposed to be simple. Temporary. A paycheck.
Instead, Tim finds himself pulled into a family that notices too much, bruises that linger, smiles that don’t reach his eyes, silences that say more than words ever could.
The Batfamily sees one of their own.
And Tim?
Tim is learning what it feels like when someone stays.- Language:

Summary
“Oh,” Robin murmured. “A baby.”
Tim bared his teeth more aggressively, posturing as well as any starving ten-year-old vampire fledgling could.
He wasn’t a baby! Okay... maybe a little by vampire standards. But not by werewolf standards! Which was what Robin was, so Tim wasn’t a baby!
OR:
Dick finds a starving Tim in an alleyway. Somehow, this becomes everyone's problem.

Summary
Tim twisted out of his assailant's loosened grip and saw - a kid, only a few years older than Tim himself, holding a tire iron in one hand and a backpack in the other. Tim’s backpack. He was thin, but more in a lean way than skin and bones, and he was glaring daggers at the man who had attacked Tim.
The boy swung the tire iron in a circle and stalked closer to the man, who looked oddly intimidated. “Get out,” he said lowly.
“I’m not little,” Tim protested automatically. The boy gave him a flat look. “Give me my bag.” He paused. “Please.”
“You’re a shrimp.” The boy kept the backpack out of reach. “Give me your name.” There was no please, which Tim thought was rude, but he had saved Tim. Ish.
“Tim. And you are?”
The boy raised an eyebrow at him, clearly amused by Tim’s introduction. “Jason. And you still haven’t told me what the hell you’re doing here. You tryin’ to get mugged?”
In which Jason leaves the Batmobile alone in favor of helping the kid getting mugged.
