Summary
Tim is almost-finally training to be Robin, kind of. (Emphasis on the “almost”). (Emphasis on the “kind of”).
He’s been sparring with the Hood, Gotham’s newest vigilante, but Hood doesn’t know Tim as Tim, he knows Tim as Jason, but Tim knows that Hood is actually Jason, and honestly, Tim’s just writing the rules up as he goes.
And the stakes are only getting higher. After tragedy strikes the Drakes, Tim ends up in Bruce’s care just as a new series of gruesome crimes plagues Gotham. More than ever, Bruce is determined to keep Tim out of it.
Tim does not keep out of it. (And there are consequences to starting fights you don’t know how to win).
Title taken from “To an Athlete Dying Young” by A.E. Housman.

Summary
A strange shadow in Mementos inflicts a "charmed" effect on most of the Phantom Thieves. It's a stoke of luck that Akira, not the enemy, becomes the target of the charm... but that's where his luck runs out, because Akira has NO idea how to handle six possessively, aggressively, frantically cuddly friends.
It's going to be a rough four hours/two weeks.

Summary
The holidays are Tim's most favorite time of year.
He doesn't mean that like most people mean it, where they say "holidays," but they really only celebrate the one, and all the others are just happening at the same time. Tim celebrates ALL the holidays.
He's usually very good at keeping the various family tradition stories straight, too. He's been Jewish; he's been Christian; he's been pagan; he's been Muslim. Sometimes all at the same time. But this year...well, this year the Waynes are suddenly getting involved, and Tim starts to realize how hard it is to keep stories straight and less-than-stellar upbringings hidden when people are actually listening to you.
It's weird, Tim decides. And he's not sure he likes it.
(A year in the life of Tim Drake, as told through the various holiday parties of the Gotham elite and the unexpected lessons on privilege, bias, and various -isms that come with 'em. And maybe a little bit of friendship and understanding along the way, since we all know this has to end with Tim joining the Batfam early, right?)
