Description:

The very beginning of the 73 Votes AU timeline! It's June, 2016, and nine-year-old Tim Drake has just figured out who Batman is. He proceeds to be totally normal about it. Totally. Normal. If his Social Skills teacher happens to ask, please tell her how normal he's being! It might help him pass the current unit on the first try.

There are three works in the series:
Discovery - Tim learns who the Bats are and we get a window into the Drake and Wayne families in that moment
Hero Journeys - Tim accidentally stalks his heroes and learns a lot of interesting things; meanwhile the Drake household continues to be a garbage fire
Homecoming - Tim painfully stumbles his way into a family who really wants him, weirdness and all

Notes:

Care warning: 73 Votes!Tim has well-intentioned but neglectful and emotionally/verbally abusive parents.
This series has a strong focus on the internal dynamics of the Drake family, and the 73 Votes version of that family is unpleasant. Jack and Janet Drake don't want to hurt their son, but both of them have a very warped perspective on what hurts a child, and on what hurts their child in particular. Thus they do a ton of damage to Tim in the pursuit of what they think is best for him (and themselves).
