Summary
Duke thinks he’s visiting Tim’s house to check out his D&D cosplay costumes. What happens is…not that.
_____
Duke has a rush of empathy for all the stereotypical Black guys in horror movies skipping happily along to their doom, because damn it if he doesn’t trust Tim, his friend and adventuring party member, despite all the clear signs that he’s about to enter a rich white guy murder basement.
_____
Not super spoilery, but it is a missing scene from chapter 24 of Good Fellows.

Summary
Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”
Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”
Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”
“FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

Summary
Unlike me, if you are very familiar with canon (comics and etc) Batman, are aware DC stands for Disregard Canon, and want to know which bits of canon I’m picking and choosing to follow, TLDR: That Thing That Happens to Steph took place before Bruce’s time travel, Kon and Bart took place after, Cass and Duke haven’t shown up yet, the Battle for the Cowl never happened, and Bruce got Tim a car as his sixteenth birthday present, like a normal-ass billionaire, instead of debilitating trust issues.
This note is for you, if like me, you’ve come to Batman fanfic with the extent of your Batman knowledge being the Jingle Bells variation where Robin lays an egg; maybe, if you were unlucky, you watched a bad Batman movie, if you were lucky, you maybe saw a Teen Titans cartoon on a waiting room tv once, and if life was particularly chaotic, a roommate randomly forced you to watch “Under the Red Hood” with absolutely no context and not having previously been aware there was more than one Robin (the OG, Richard “Dick” Grayson - yes, the Batman IP is older than dick jokes, and now it’s too late for them to change the name).
Either way! Here’s the background what you need to know in order to make sense of this story.

Summary
“Are you an organ thief?”
Robin made a choking sound.
“An organ thief?” Batman repeated, and now he sounded a little amused.
Tim nodded once, which was a mistake, because the pier rolled unnaturally under his feet.
“Important screening question,” he said.
OR:
Tim is high on pain meds, but is he going to let that stop him from saving Batman and Robin? Of course not.

Summary
"I don't know why we're wasting our time with him," says Dick. "Just tell him he's not good enough already."
It's a hallucination, like all the rest. Objectively, Tim understands that.
But he feels the words like an icepick in his chest all the same, and a part of him knows. This version of Dick might not be real, these words might not be real, but what he's saying is true anyway.
"Are you fucking listening to me?" says the man in the red helmet. "The big bad bat's not coming to save you." There's a crash, and when Tim turns toward it, his desk's been overturned. His laptop is lying on the floor in a tangle of cords. If any of this were actually happening, Tim might be afraid that it was broken.

Summary
Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.
Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.
He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.
"You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"
"She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.
