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
Jon pulled him close. Damian could feel him shaking.
“Damian,” Jon murmured, voice thick, “You’re really scaring me. Really really.”

as it turns out, taking an abused child soldier from his previous life, dressing him in a new costume and having him beat criminals, without much regards to rehabilitation or therapy, does not produce a happy or healthy child

Summary
"Thinking about putting on one of the suits made Tim feel warm all over, happy like he didn’t remember ever feeling, but it flitted away the second Tim thought about the after. Going downstairs to see Bruce and Duke and Cass. Heading to the actual gala and seeing Dick and Babs. Reintroducing himself to his family.
It all made Tim nauseous."
Tim's trans and comes out to his family. Eventually.

Summary
What people don’t expect of Bruce Wayne is his ability to love in such a detailed way.
What people absolutely expect of Jason Todd is his ability to show up at the worst place, at the worst time, every damn time. But not all late-night calls from the hospital are bad, not all galas are bad, and not all of Bruce's culinary attempts are bad. Featuring food; Jason's self-esteem issues, his complicated relationship with food; and the different ways confidence can be filled.
Also featuring one Bruce Wayne trying his best.(Endeavor to grow up shouldn’t have been this hard considering it’s the second round for him. )

This was so so good actually. It made me laugh and cry and then something in the middle. I love them, and I love them learning how to love eachother again. I love them caring about eachother and learning to be okay with that again <3

Summary
“I’m being serious, asshat,” Jason hisses, swatting his hands away from his face. “You have to tell me what year it is.”
Nightwing crosses his arms a little petulantly. “It’s 2017. Happy?”
Jason freezes, breath catching in his throat. 2017. Five years ago. He was…he was fifteen. “Shit,” he murmurs. He’s going to eviscerate Tim.
Or: Red Hood Jason and 15-year-old Jason swap timelines, landing one week before 15-year-old Jason is supposed to die.

This fic stabbed me in the chest multiple times in a row while smiling. I rotated between laughing and sobbing violently throughout this and have been reliably informed that I "need a dad" because I "have issues"
