Cassandra went rigid, every muscle in her body coiled and ready to strike.
His ballet coach pulled her hand back.
Right.
Cool, cool, cool.

Summary
5 times Bruce took a second to listen to the part of him he tried to leave behind in that alley. + 1 time it comes naturally.
(With the indirect bonus of his improving EQ having a positive effect on his kids and how they perceive him.)

Summary
“What should I call you?”
And after a pause:
“Alvin.”
Not “Tim.”
That’s important.
Because Robin was never truly Tim Drake. -

Summary
At fourteen, Tim Drake is no stranger to loneliness. But when his parents die in a plane crash, and a will reveals that Bruce Wayne is his biological father, he’s dropped into a world of vigilantes, legacy, and disappointment. Bruce, caught off-guard and not ready for more family, keeps his distance.
Tim doesn’t push. He’s used to being a shadow.
But shadows notice things. They listen. They help. And while Bruce avoids his newest son, Alfred brings him in—gently, steadfastly, and without question. Tim finds belonging not in the Cave, but in quiet acts of care. In warm mugs of milk. In folded laundry. In the faint scent of his grandmother’s perfume still lingering in the halls.
Bruce may not be ready yet. But Tim is already home.

Summary
Tim didn’t exist.
That’s what he kept reminding himself.
Timothy Drake did not exist.
Not as a person.
-----
He wasn’t there to become a hero, he just needed someone to keep an eye on Batman. And if Dick didn’t want to return to being Robin.. Well it was only logical for him to stand in until Batman had processed his grief enough to function on his own again.
Plus it was kind of cool to be Robin.
-----
OR:
Tim's parents are neglectful, which causes a handful of issues.
Bruce is still processing his grief, which does not help Tim.
Dick seems to pretend Tim is Jason, not helpful either.
Red Hood hates Robin, Tim doesn't know why.
Jason is alive because of the Lazarus Pit and he's also Red Hood, which Tim thinks has it's upsides and downsides.All Tim wants is for Batman to be okay, and for Bruce and Dick not to hate each other.
So what's a little self sacrifice to make that happen.
Not like anyone actually wants Tim Drake around anyway.
(They do)
