    Summary

    On his darkest nights, after the dirt-filled hands left his skin, he craved the drugs his parents gave him, even when they weren’t there. Maybe the drugs could help him feel loved and seen again, even if his parents weren’t there to tell him all of that stuff. Or maybe, they would help him forget that he even hungered or felt anything in the first place, and allow him to starve like he was born to do.

    -

    Or, Tim's parents begin drugging him to bring him to events. It fills the void in Tim's stomach, but the feeling never lasts. Not until he finds where he belongs.

    Summary

    Tim Drake leads a...mostly normal life, helping people get the best insurance they can afford. Soon though, he finds himself embroiled in a plot that involves Robin trying to take him down, and Batgirl possibly helping. Add to the mix Red Hood using him for information, and a strange young man walking into his office under false pretenses, Tim finds that his mostly normal life is about to completely change.

     

    Tim knew there were worse jobs in Gotham than insurance agent, but he’s hard pressed to think of another at the moment. As he shoots off an email to a client about looking into their claim asap, he hears the glass door to the small insurance office open and watches Stephanie Brown,the goddamn Batgirl, walk into the agency and catch his eye. He puts 'masked vigilante' at the top of the list.

    Summary

    "I have scars too." It's an offering, something small and fragile clasped in his palm. Bruce offers the hand holding the dangerous vulnerability of his life to Jason, waiting.

    Jason turns to look at Bruce over his shoulder, and Bruce sees the moment understanding fills the boy's eyes. Sometimes Jason acts too old for his age, filled with empathy beyond his years.

    He reaches out and accepts the small offering, holding it carefully in his own damaged hands.

    (The first time Bruce washes his son's hair.)
