Summary
"Oh my god, I need you to be my boyfriend immediately," Jason blurts out. He hears choking or what might be someone's best imitation of a cat being strangled, but ignores it. He drags his eyes away from the shelves of curated Batman memorabilia to look Tim dead in the eye. "I need you so fucking bad."
"W-what?!" Tim says, cheeks tinged pink.
It’s like Christmas has come three weeks early. For the first time since coming up with this half-hatched plan, Jason isn't stuck on worrying whether it'll work—he's thinking about how much fun it'll be when the guy he brings home can't stop talking about superheroes. To his superhero family. While his superhero family hides their superhero business right under Tim's non-superhero nose.
Jason fucking loves a good comedy.
Well, damn, Jay. It's a good thing Tim does too.

Summary
“Bruce is trying to take you away from me, Timothy, just like he took your Daddy away.” Mommy says, and Tim’s heart bangs against the confines of his ribs, “He made Jack be sent to jail. Do you want to be without your Mommy, too?”
Tim’s scent curdles with such a ferocity that even Mommy’s nose wrinkles, unforgiving nails pressing harsher into the delicate skin of his face. “No, no please,” he begs, unable to keep the words in, “No, Mommy, please don’t go.” Tim doesn’t know what he’d do without his Mommy. She’s finally being affectionate with him. He’ll take a spanking, a time-out, even a special punishment if it means that he can stay with her.
Mommy continues, the smile back on her face and with it a physical relief thrums through Tim’s entire body, helping to soothe the jackrabbiting of his heart, “You are essential to my plans, and I am fighting to get you back, but you need to help me. Will you be a good boy and follow my instructions?”
—
Tim’s Mommy has never been so gentle with him before. She’ll even let him come home, so long as he can get away from Bruce. That’s easy, if Tim is naughty enough then he’ll be deemed too burdensome to bother with.
Tim is good at being given up on.

Summary
“Can I learn the drums?” Tim had asked when he was eight.
“Absolutely not. Are you one of the street kids?” his mother had replied, scandalised.
That was pretty much how every conversation about alternative instruments went.
OR

Summary
“Master Tim, would you like to join us for breakfast?”
And there it was. Tim didn’t turn to look at them, he could feel that Dick and Jason’s eyes were locked on his back. He knew they were glaring. Bruce had stopped typing, probably holding his breath and dreading the day Tim didn’t say no. He hated the silence that stretched every time as they waited for his answer, staring him down, just daring him to accept.
“I can’t tonight, but thank you for the invitation, as always.” He wished he could put a frustrated emphasis on the last two words, but who was he to be rude to Alfred? There was a short pause, then Bruce began typing again. He knew Jason and Dick were now probably looking at each other, relieved.
“Well, the invitation remains open, as always,” replied Alfred.
When the light indicated Tim had reached the surface via one of the Batcave’s back exits, Dick broke the silence that had settled since he left. “So much for him being more willing to stay for breakfast with Jason and I here. We’re zero for who knows how many tries, I’ve lost count.”
OR: The Waynes concoct plans to invite Tim into the pack. Tim schemes up ways to satisfy his need for pack without the Waynes finding out.
