Summary
Liam never had the Rookie experience.
It's a little fact he hardly thinks about truth be told, a small thing that only sometimes nags at the back of his mind, something so small, so irrelevant he feels a little embarrassed to even acknowledge at all most of the time, let alone allow himself to feel anything regarding it.
F1 is fast. F1 is unpredictable. F1 is harsh.
At least that was his experience: Liam wasn't taught how to navigate it, he was one of those kids who learned how to swim by being thrown on the deep end while the adults around watched with vague interest, not overly worried about the possibility of him sinking because they had other kids waiting by the shore.
He didn't know things could be different, but oh how clearly he saw that they could.
Just not for him.
Or: 5 times Liam didn't think he mattered as much to Max and the Rookies and the ensuing crash outs they had over it.

Summary
Jamie doesn’t know how he got to Roy’s house. He thinks he must’ve broken a few driving laws, or else he ran here. He’s not sure which is worse.
All he knows is he’s standing in front of Roy’s door, and his fingers are red with blood from the cut under his eye, and he wants to go to sleep and never wake up.
Roy’s already in bed, probably, and he’s gonna be fucking angry to be woken up. Maybe Jamie should just go home. Sleep it off. Skip practice tomorrow.
But Roy said to come. He sat Jamie down all serious-like and said if his Da got within ten fucking feet of him, to come to his place. Jamie’s just trying to do what he said.

Summary
Cas is sick and Dean finds a journal that Cas kept about his time alone as a human.
This fic is a retelling of first half of S9 from Cas's POV (via Cas's journal). Lots of Cas angst/loneliness and a correspondingly equal volume of Dean guilt. Sick fic, hurt/comfort, journal fic, and a Christmas fic too.
NO SLASH but the entire thing features a strong Cas/Dean friendship.
Destiel readers: This entire fic can be read as pre-Destiel (or not, as you prefer), and if you would like to read it that way, I also wrote an optional, explicit, Destiel epilogue chapter just for you guys. :)

Summary
Tim really should have trusted his instincts that something was wrong. He was a detective after all. When something was odd, he would figure out what was happening. It's what he does.
Or: When his family start acting out of the ordinary, Tim comes to a conclusion that may be the opposite of the truth

Summary
Tim is an unwanted android, a Robo-Child. After being sent back by his parents, his last and only hope rests in the hands of a man still grieving the loss of his own son.
“I didn’t ask for a replacement,” Bruce barked. “I don’t want a replacement! You can go back and tell the RCO I don’t need a replacement.”
Bruce Wayne didn’t want him. If Bruce Wayne didn’t want him, he’d be sent back and dismantled.

Summary
Tim hadn't been scared before. Annoyed and inconvenienced, sure. Leave it to Jason to turn a quick hit into a disaster. But now, as memories came screaming to the forefront of his mind, Tim was scared.
Because the last time they’d been in a position like this...Jason tried to kill him.

Summary
Tim thought that after everything he went through in the Batcave around the beginning of his tenure as Robin, he was ready to go back and try to replace those memories with nice, new ones with his big brother Jason. Unfortunately, trauma responses don't work like that.
Or
Tim tries to train with Jason in the Batcave. Bad memories resurface and Jason learns more about what training was like for the third Robin. Bruce learns that he apparently knows very little about his third son and the truth about their relationship.
Tim is not having a good time and Jason is horrified.Series

Summary
Tim messed up, now he needs to fix it. He hurt his parents’ chances with one business partner, now he needs to help his parents with a different business partner. The fact that he gets hurt in the process has never been an issue. Then the “different business partner” turns out to be the Red Hood, AKA, the reason Tim hasn’t been allowed out as Robin for a month. That might be an issue.

Summary
He'd been a tourniquet for an open wound, keeping Bruce from bleeding out.
But the thing about tourniquets is that they’re meant to be temporary. An urgent solution for a dire problem, and one that can cause issues of its own, especially if applied too long.
Anyway. Tim had been thinking about them lately. Tourniquets.

Summary
"Let him go!" Nightwing snarls through the com, voice raw and strained. Jason laughs. The modulator of his helmet crackles, and the sound of his laughter echoes cold and cruel. "Are you sure you want me to do that?"
During an unplanned and unsupervised encounter with the Red Hood, Tim takes an (also unplanned) dive off the side of a building. As Tim's life hangs by a thread, Red Hood taunts Batman and Nightwing, threatening to drop him. But does he really mean it? Because for someone threatening to let go, Jason's grip is awfully tight.

reticent
(adj.) keeping to yourself; not likely to draw attention to yourself; uncommunicative
(The discussion was so lively that even my more reticent friends participated in it.)——————
Tim gets hit with Ivy’s newest strain of cuddle pollen and leaves to tough it out on his own. It’s a lot worse than he thought it’d be, and he only realizes this once his hands have started to frost over and he can barely move.

Home is a Haunted Heart by SilverSkiesAtMidnight

Summary
His father is on him in a second, pinning him back against the cabinets behind him with impressive speed for a man who was in a coma mere months ago. “They aren’t your family, I am,” he snarls in his face. “And someday you’re going to learn to respect that.”
Some frayed thread of self-control, worn thin by years of this bullshit, finally snaps. “I was always here, I was always ready for you to come home and act like family,” he spits back, heart pounding in his chest. “You were the ones who never wanted to be. Bruce Wayne has acted like more of a father to me than you ever have.”
Jack’s hands move from pinning his shoulders to wrapping around his throat in the space between heartbeats. Tim should be able to break the hold, easy. Should be able to push him away, strike his legs out from under him even without his bo staff to help him. He’s Robin.
Instead, cold ice spills through his veins, freezing him in place even as his windpipe buckles.

Summary
He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.
He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.
She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”
And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

Summary
Tim who was his son. His son. Tim who he loved so much, with everything he had. Tim who-
Tim who had shown up on his door step one day. Who had refused to leave no matter how many times Bruce tried to get rid of him. Who refuse to stay in his place. Tim who made himself a liability that had to be picked up so that he didn’t get hurt. Tim who had only been a place holder for Jason, who was irritating and all wrong. Not who he wanted him to be.- Language:

zugzwang: in chess, the obligation to move, when any move at all will be bad
"A game of chess, Detective. I assume you know how to play. You win, and you and your family may leave freely. I win, and you take your place as my heir and I dispose of the others as I see fit."
Tim stopped breathing.
Ra's spread his hands, still smiling that condescending crocodile grin. "Our skills are evenly matched. The challenge is more than fair."
All a game, just win. All a game, just win. Just win, just win, win, win...
Keep your head.

Summary
Tim leans back, pale-faced and sweating profusely at this point. His breaths come out in little hitches, eyes wide like plates as he stares up toward the moon, and tears that he doesn’t even seem to notice trail down over the curves of his white cheeks.
“Won’t be as bad if I d-die, not like you, but-”
Freeze frame. Rewind. What the everliving ungodly fuck did this kid just say?

Summary
‘Who’s dead?’ A tinny voice sounded through the phone speaker, ‘it’s five in the fucking morning so someone better be dead.’
‘Jason,’ Dick glared at Tim as if daring him to speak. The younger boy shrunk into himself instinctively.
'Why don’t you tell your hungover little brother about the dangers of hard drugs?’
The other side of the call fell silent and then-
‘Ten minutes.’
The line went dead.
Or: Tim throws a party. Dick's not impressed. Jason just wishes that he wasn't the only person in this family with a functioning brain cell (all drug use is by side characters only).
