Summary
Phoenix and the cat sat in a dark alley, pouring rain steadily coming down around them, looking at each other.
The cat eyed him warily, waiting for Phoenix to make a move.
Phoenix had a tendency to get distracted. He had a hard time paying attention to things unless he was utterly obsessed. When he was able to concentrate, he wouldn’t stop until he’d completed the task.
Phoenix was prepared to sit here all night.

Summary
“Bruce? You won’t leave me, right?”
“Never,” Bruce promised.
Dick chewed on his lip. “Are you sure?”
“One hundred percent.”
“You have to pinky promise,” Dick insisted.
“Pinky promise?” Bruce had never heard that phrase before.
Dick stuck out his left hand, all fingers pulled in but for his pinky finger. “Pinky promise.”

The first time Dick called Bruce Dad, it was an accident.
So was the second time.
The third time, however, was completely intentional.

“Jason, this is my best friend Wally. Wally, this is my little brother.” Dick beamed as he introduced the two.
Wally stuck out his hand with a smile. “Hi!”

Jason smirked. “Pleased to meet ya.”
Wally raised an eyebrow. “Likewise.”

“Oh, it’s one of those times, huh?” Bruce said, understanding in his voice.

“What’s wrong?” Jason asked.
“Nothing,” Tim said, too fast, too skittish. He’d never believe that.
“Bullshit. Something obviously is, or you wouldn’t have come to my room in the middle of the night. Just spit it out now.” Tim opened his mouth to object, but Jason waltzed right over him. “I’m a bat, we’re stubborn as hell, you know that. I can play this game far longer than you.”

Summary
Tim locked the door behind him just before the familiar tingle of magic rushed through his body as he began to transform. His clothes melted into his skin, his bones morphed and fur began to sprout from his arms and legs. Mere seconds later, a small black cat had replaced the boy, and Tim slipped into the shadows.
Time to go birdwatching.

Summary
"We went to the circus earlier this week, Bruce and I. There was a boy. A trapeze artist. His parents... They fell. It wasn’t an accident. Master Bruce told me he saw himself in him. Two eight year old boys who saw their parents die violently in front of them. The world isn’t kind to those who occupy it. I suppose we have to offer that kindness ourselves, for us humans to be able to live on.
Bruce has taken the boy, Richard, in as his ward. He's a wonderful little lad. Very energetic, refuses to climb stairs the normal way. I’ve put mattresses on the floor by all the staircases just in case. But despite the many near heart attacks I’m sure Bruce has suffered by now, Master Dick is good for him. I think this is the first time I've seen him smile genuinely in years."

“You need to go to bed right now or I’ll tell Pennyworth you didn’t sleep all night.”
That wiped the grin right off his face.
“Shit, no, don’t tell Alfred, anything but that,” Drake begged.
“Anything?”
Drake gulped and seemed to contemplate it, before ultimately sighing and complying. “Anything.”

“Remember when I did this for you when you were a kid? Ever since that first time, you refused to tie your own tie. You insisted I do it for you."
Jason snorted. “I was a little shit who didn’t know how to ask for attention back then.”
Bruce smiled at the memory. “I did it with love."

“I’m not who you think I am. I am not your daughter.”
Bruce still looked confused. “No, you are. I’ve done the DNA tests. They all came back positive.”
Damian almost chuckled at that. Almost. “That’s not what I meant. I meant... I meant I am not a girl. I’m a boy. I’m your son.”
Silence.
“If you’ll still have me."

Summary
As a little kid, Tim had always thought his parents would forever love him, no matter what he did, or who he became. They were his parents, of course they would love him. They were connected to each other by blood, they were family, and family was those who loved you. But as he grew up, he quickly realised love was not to be freely given. Love was to be earned. He learned to keep quiet, to obey. He learned to be the perfect daughter. Silent, not speaking until spoken to. He did whatever his parents told him to, and they were satisfied. This was what happiness felt like, Tim decided. This was love.
It all came crashing down the day he realised he was not a daughter. He was a son.
~
Love is unconditional. Until it's not. Tim Drake learned that the hard way.
