    Summary

    So he’s the Wednesday of Robins. No big deal. He knows what he did for Bruce and his family. He knows the role he played in creating that family. Who cares if no one else does?

    The truth is, Tim’s story has never been about the masks. It’s always been about the people beneath them.

    ~~~

    Or: Tim’s entire life so far told in one long depressing (occasionally funny) go. Strap in for some hard core character study style angst.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Damian is third in line to inherit his father's kingdom, behind his brothers Jason and Dick, and is not at all pleased to find out that he's been sold into an arranged marriage with the heir of a local, powerful family. Not that it comes as a surprise, but he's certainly not looking forward to meeting his intended. At least until it's a pale-skinned, black-haired, blue-eyed beauty with a sharp smile. Then, well, maybe he can give it a chance after all.

    Summary

    It started with a drunken need for comfort- when Tim and Damian were broken at what felt like their worst. But what was reflex, could have been called an accident, turned into the exact thing they both never knew they truly needed.
