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
After going undercover as Morgan Clarke, the first time he had to wear a dress stopped being the last time. There was Shannon Claire, Caroline Hill, and a few others that probably shouldn’t have worked as well as they did. The whole gender thing stopped mattering once it became routine, just faces and names swapped like armor. Nothing more.
The rest of the Bats got used to it years ago. He forgets that not everyone else has.

Summary
Bruce nods. “It makes the most sense. You haven’t been made, you’re the right age, and your face isn’t known in that circle. We’ll fabricate a profile and ID. You’ll go during lunch, find Everett’s bag, get the drive, and extract quietly.”
Tim just stares at him. “You want me to go undercover… as a girl?”
Steph claps her hands, grinning ear to ear. “Best day of my life.”

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
“Baby Bird?” Jason’s voice shifted, softened into something almost fragile, as if he were speaking to a child. Maybe, in his eyes, Tim was exactly that. The familiar nickname—so wrong, so tender—sent a tremor down Tim’s spine. Jason never called him that. Jason never spoke to him with warmth.
Jason hated Tim.
He shut his eyes tight, praying this was just a cruel dream. But then warm hands cupped his face, grounding him. A metallic clatter echoed through the cave, sharp and final. The gun had hit the floor.
“No, no, no—don’t close those blue eyes, Baby Bird. Look at me,” this time Jason’s voice cracked into a plea. Every word trembled with fear, with a need that made Tim’s chest tighten painfully. Tim bit down on a sob, the taste of salt and blood filling his mouth, forcing himself to lift his gaze and meet the toxic green fire of Jason’s eyes once more. He could feel the tremor in Jason’s hands, the way his knees pressed into the cold floor, and it made his own body ache with tension.
Or,
Tim wakes up in Gotham, which looks too foreign, but he finds a home there.
