    Summary

    While hummingbirds can be devoted to their family, particularly their young, they are known to be both highly aggressive and anti-social. They are the only birds able to fly backwards and even upside down.

    Tim's mission has never been the same as the rest of the Bats. He knows he doesn't fight for justice, or peace, or control, or proving something. He doesn't have Dick's goodwill or Damians need to prove something. He doesn't have Jason's connection or Oracle's duty. Hell, he doesn't even have Bruce's own mission in mind when he fights. He fights because he protects what is his, and he has dug his claws into this family. Except, maybe he's not theirs anymore, maybe he never was.

    Or: Tim realizes he's lost everything he has never had, then gets sucked 20 years into the past by the creepy old guy and decides to pull everything together, including himelf.

    Summary

    Tim doesn't sleep much, and as a result he hallucinates sometimes. He keeps hallucinating a pair of green eyes in the dark.
    At the same time he struggles with his place in the fractured batfamily, and tries chasing the Red Hood, who surely is completely unrelated to these green eyes he keeps seeing... right?

    cue kidnappings, bad decisions, and a whole lot of food!

    a bit angsty, but with a happy ending because i REFUSE to write sad ones. title is from "people got a lotta nerve" by neko case :)

    Summary

    Graveyard mud, heavy and dark, clinging to a stained and torn suit. One shoe missing, a leg bent awkwardly and blood staining a bare foot.

    Milk white skin beneath the mud, black hair hanging in muddy clumps around his ears. Blue eyes staring back at him, animal-bright and dilated in the brief moment before he flinches back from the light with a cry of pain that stabs through Jason to the soul.

    His shaking hand closes around the flashlight before he can even think about it, cutting off the piercing beam and letting it spill out in shards between his fingers. For a petrifying moment as his eyes readjust, he’s sure that when he looks again, there will be nothing there.

    “Tim?” he whispers.

    The lean and ragged figure, tiny, god he’s so small, lowers his hands away from his face, away from his eyes wide and glittering almost silver in the moonlight.

    Hands, mud-covered and torn. The red of his shredded fingernails is sickeningly dark in the broken light.

    He’s vomiting before he even feels the bile making its way up his throat.

    Summary

    Tim Drake always knew his time as a Bat was going to be short-lived. All the Wayne brothers had made it clear how unwelcome he was. And Tim had enough self-respect to leave where he wasn't wanted. Besides, if he stayed, he was eventually going to be killed by one of them. So after he completed his mission as Red Robin by rescuing Bruce from the time stream, he left Gotham behind.

    But when an old ally calls in a favor, he returns to the city he once called his home. While running into the Bats was necessary for mission success, being forced to spend time with his former teammates is not. And yet the more Tim does, the more he realizes they've changed. It seems as though they regretted their actions and want him back in the family.

    And now they have him back in their grasp, they won't let him go again - no matter what.
