    Summary

    It becomes a bit of a tradition, after this; when Wally gets mad, he announces with a (obnoxiously loud) screech he'll be living with Uncle Bats until Barry gets his act together, except the smaller redhead doesn't use the word 'act' and Batman, with a reputation to uphold, has to resist the urge to cover Robin's ears.

     

    Or; everyone fears Batman. the younger heroes tend to forget that. Bruce didn't choose the hesitant uncle role but the hesitant uncle role chose Bruce.

    Summary

    Tim's never seen one before, usually cooped up in his house with a servant coming by his home once a week to drop off supplies that'll keep him well fed until the next week. But he has read books, and sometimes, he imagines himself encountering one and fighting them with blades, like brave knights do to earn their glory.

    A dragon bleeds out on the floors of his home, and all he has is a book, and no sword.

    -

    The Kingdom Of Gotham is often riddled with creatures good and bad, mostly bad. The dragons that pass over Gotham, harass the Gothamites, and pollute the air with smoke and smog are no exception, and one knows better than to confront one unless you are a hunter.

    Except one night, when a dragon crashes into the home of one Timothy Drake, everything changes.

    Summary

    The holidays are Tim's most favorite time of year.

    He doesn't mean that like most people mean it, where they say "holidays," but they really only celebrate the one, and all the others are just happening at the same time. Tim celebrates ALL the holidays.

    He's usually very good at keeping the various family tradition stories straight, too. He's been Jewish; he's been Christian; he's been pagan; he's been Muslim. Sometimes all at the same time. But this year...well, this year the Waynes are suddenly getting involved, and Tim starts to realize how hard it is to keep stories straight and less-than-stellar upbringings hidden when people are actually listening to you.

    It's weird, Tim decides. And he's not sure he likes it.

    (A year in the life of Tim Drake, as told through the various holiday parties of the Gotham elite and the unexpected lessons on privilege, bias, and various -isms that come with 'em. And maybe a little bit of friendship and understanding along the way, since we all know this has to end with Tim joining the Batfam early, right?)

    Summary

    Jason Todd is a Shakespeare nerd. You know this, I know this, everyone knows this.

    It is, in fact, so obvious because he will not stop quoting the man. Always, no matter the situation, he has a quote ready.

    At the very least, everyone can tell what mood he's in depending on what play he's quoting. They call it the Jason Todd Shakespeare Scale.
