    Summary

    Tim Drake knows that crying yields no data. He learned that at six years old in an empty house, illuminated only by the blue light of a computer screen.

    Now, he’s an exhausted student by day and a digital poltergeist by night. He doesn't just "watch" the Wayne family, he optimizes them. He hacks their coffee machines, stabilizes their tactical HUDs, and leaves anonymous medical alerts on the Bat-computer when Bruce’s cortisol levels spike. It’s not stalking if it’s protective, right?

    But when Jason Todd corners him in the library to argue about The Great Gatsby, Tim realizes that maintaining a firewall is a lot harder when the target is sitting across the table. It turns out, you can’t calculate your way out of a hug, and the Waynes are very, very persistent.

    Summary

    “You can’t embarrass us like this, Timothy,” Mr. Drake quietly started to scold, before they were out of earshot.

    “I think we should talk to Bruce,” Jason said next to him, voice cold and eyes hard from where they were fixed on Tim’s back.

    “Yeah,” Dick said softly. “Yeah, I agree.”

    Summary

    “I see where you’re coming from. He can be a bit much sometimes.”

    “Too much.”

    Tim freezes once more, breath caught in his throat.

    He’s too much.

    That’s the final nail in the coffin for Tim.

    He’s too much for Nightwing. He’s too much for Batman. He’s too much for the Waynes. He’s too much for Robin.

    Okay.

    Tim Drake is too much?

    Fine.

    He will be less.

    If it means he gets to keep his family.

    He will be less.

    OR:

    After overhearing a conversation he wasn't meant to, Tim is determined to change himself so that he is just right to fit in with Bruce and Dick. When this comes to light, Jason has an opinion on the matter.

    Inspired by 'I Used To Talk' by MarilynneCadance1218 on Wattpad!

    Summary

    “But you just said honor is about doing what’s right. You must have known that wasn’t right,” Sokka presses.

    There’s a long moment of silence. Then, “I knew it didn’t feel right. But I always told myself that if I knew the first thing about honor, I would still be home.”

    “I don’t understand."

    “I didn’t, either,” Zuko sighs.

     

    ~

     

    Of course Sokka has seen the scar. It’s kind of hard to miss.

    …It just hadn’t occurred to him that it meant anything.
