    Summary

    'Everything crystalized and solidified in his mind as all the data converged. There it was, the answer he’d been looking for since the night he’d come down to find Damian in Robin red, green, and gold. He guessed he was finally ready to see it, instead of turning away and clinging to the past. Clinging to a relationship that no longer existed.'

    Or:

    Seven times Tim and Dick didn't reconnect, and how Tim still managed to heal, find love, and cleanly break from the Bats without them realizing.

    Title from Dua Lipa's 'Don't Start Now'

    Summary

    Selina looked through the frosted glass of a charity gala and saw an almost perfect family. A father, his two sons, their beloved butler and a loyal dog. The missing piece being one more son and the youngest of the brothers.

    One she could've given them wrapped carefully in a cashmere blanket with the same black hair, curious blue eyes, and no doubt charming smile. But Selina knew it was far too late.

    Her baby boy no longer existed, a fantasy born no more than ten years ago.

    There was only Timothy Jackson Drake.

    A boy nowhere to be found at the biggest gala of the year.

    Summary

    Having failed to secure the Whistledown money, Cressida nonetheless runs away from Wales. In Vienna, a connection from her Piano-master allows her to reinvent herself, playing at Salons under a fake name. As her fame grows, Cressida meets Prince Freidrich once more, and he becomes her patron.

    In London, Eloise suspects that Cressida has gone missing, while Prince Freidrich wonders if the English pianist is the same debutante he once danced with in Mayfair. When her identity is finally revealed, Cressida must decide whether she prefers independence—or the far more dangerous prospect of being understood.

    Summary

    Bruce doesn’t regret what he’s done to bring his son back, even if the price was not what he’d expected to pay.

    And in an empty house across the grounds of the manor, Tim Drake screams, his very soul torn from his body as payment for the life of another. No one is around to hear it.

    Aka: Bruce Wayne would do anything for his children. This does not mean he is a good person.

    Summary

    Tim Drake is not being adopted.

    This is an important distinction, because adoption implies paperwork, consent, and a series of responsible adult decisions. None of those things have occurred. What has occurred is that Tim keeps showing up, and Bruce Wayne—international playboy, billionaire, and allegedly competent adult—has, on multiple occasions, failed to remove him.

    This is not the same thing.

    Tim has a chart about this.

    The chart is labeled “Probability of Accidental Guardianship via Repeated Exposure.” It has trend lines. The trend lines are concerning.
