Summary
Tim’s gaze, gunmetal gray, slices down the length of his arms, the pistol, to the last target on the far end. Cordage under his skin jumps. His shot goes high, missing center mass, blowing off the target’s hypothetical lower jaw.
Tim’s arms sag. He looks to Dick, who’s watching the destroyed remnants of steel-backed paper spit smoke.
“Good,” Dick says. Tim points the pistol at the floor.

BUT WHO CAN GROW ME A NEW BROTHER? by solistrix

Summary
There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and that Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.
Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.
or: road trip, coming-of-age, #Grief Fic triple-threat with a healthy dollop of early accidental Tim acquisition. or about as accidental as Tim acquisition can get

Summary
Twilight holds the kid’s hands, sees the way his ring finger turns in just like Twilight’s, how his pinky is crooked, how the fine bones jump under his skin like piano strings, and presses those precious knuckles against his mouth. Not to kiss, just to cherish close like a breakable, vulnerable thing. Wild doesn’t know delicate. He doesn't know a gentle hold or a touch that is not a sword’s bite or a kick in the ribs. These dear hands are sacrosanct.
It is in scarred hands and eyes of Sheikah-tech blue that Link finds his purpose.
falling in love but make it familial and heartbreaking and still worth it to have loved and lost, rather than not loved at all
AKA: "me and the little brother i pulled by being clinically depressed"
