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
He spots the robin on a tree branch maybe thirty feet away, and Tim, grinning, goes to adjust the settings on the binoculars.
It's exactly then that he realizes what's behind the bird.
Because from here, on the third story and at just this angle, there's no treeline to block his view. Behind the little robin singing on its branch, he can see the Wayne family manor, clear as anything, close enough that it almost feels like he could reach out and touch it. One of the windows on the downstairs floor is open, and it's draped with light curtains that float softly in the breeze. A moment later, a different sort of Robin bounds into view, sans mask, grin wide and bright.
Tim flinches back as though burned.

Summary
“I put in work with the last one,” he says, trailing a gloved hand along the restraints. “Sweat. Effort. A whole emotional arc! A real explosive performance. And what does Batsy do? Goes and gets himself a new model like nothing happened.”
Joker stops in front of him.
"So, this time, I'm not just going to break his toy," he says pleasantly, before his chin lowers and his eyes flash darker than a human's should, "oh, no, no. I'm going to break you - and then remake you."
He reaches out, flicks Tim’s forehead.
"To be all mine."
Joker doesn’t want Robin dead.
He wants him remade.

Summary
Luke tries to imagine showing a child a pile of books and saying, these rotting pieces of dust told me you weren’t allowed to see your dad ever again. If Luke had tried something like that on his sister after Ben was born, Leia would’ve told him to fuck off and fuck the Jedi Order, too, for good measure.

Summary
One night, Robin spots a kid with an overnight bag on a rooftop, and he jumps to the obvious conclusion: the kid's trying to run away. The kid is doing a really bad job of it, though, and that's the sort of thing Robin just has to correct.
Except the kid is Tim Drake, and Tim isn't actually trying to run away. But "running away" does sound a little better than "stalking bat-themed vigilantes through the crime-infested streets of Gotham every night." So he lets Robin have this one.
Besides, that's the end of it, right? Robin might have found Tim once, but no one ever looks for Tim a second time. Robin can think whatever he wants. They'll never see each other again.
(They see each other again.)

Summary
Damian tightens his grip on the knife that he’s still holding, although logically he knows the teenager sitting across from him is not the threat here.
“So then, how do you suggest we proceed?” he asks through gritted teeth.
Timothy Drake leans forward on his elbows and clasps his hands together, eyes hollow and exhausted as he considers Damian.
“I think Bruce and Alfred are in trouble. We have to help them.”
***
Damian reluctantly accepts help from an adversary and slowly realizes they have a lot in common.

Summary
If Bruce wasn't so busy investigating the Red Hood, he might have realised that, while Jack Drake is in a coma and Tim is grounded from patrol, Drake Industries goes broke. Overnight, the Drakes lose everything, leaving Tim without a cent to his name.
Jason, meanwhile, cannot believe that the Bats haven't noticed yet that something is obviously wrong with the Replacement.
*
It’s weird, being poor. At the moment, Tim has precisely eleven dollars to his name. Drake Industries, gone. Their assets, gone. His trust fund, being used to pay for his father’s hospital bills. The house is gone, too. That's okay. Tim is okay. Sometimes, though, he lies awake at night, and he can’t help but wonder. Does Bruce know? He definitely doesn’t, obviously. But, does he?

Summary
In the night the creature came to him, and sat on his chest in the grand bedroom, and said in its high thin voice like a scrape of metal, you are going to die.
And Bruce tilted his head back to look at the ceiling and said, yes. Because it was true. The bullet today had avoided his jaw by inches, and there were limits to what even Kevlar plating could do. He had felt the breath of it pass him, the hot stinking reek of death. And even if the next one missed, and the next one, and the next, he was not getting any younger.
Would you like not to? the creature said, cocking its broad, spade-shaped head.
—
Bruce says yes without reading the fine print.

“Do you have problems with anxiety?”
“You know what our jobs are, right?”
“Aside from the normal levels of anxiety fitting for your lifestyle,” she says, pointedly pronouncing each word while holding firm eye contact, “Do you have irregular amounts of anxiety in your day-to-day life?”
“My anxiety levels are very regular.”

Summary
"Alright, asshole," says Jason and plunks a folder down directly on the keyboard of Tim's laptop. "I'm calling in that IOU."
Tim doesn't startle, not visibly. But all at once there's a batarang in his hand, the blade gleaming sharp. It takes him a second to register who the intruder actually is before he gives Jason a lingering, suspicious sidelong glance and tucks it away again.
"What IOU?" says Tim. "And how'd you get in here?"
He looks like shit, frankly. There are dark smudges under his eyes, and he's lost weight since Jason's seen him last. From the coffee cups scattered around the desk, it's probably even odds that he's on at least 24 hours without sleep.
"I work in mysterious ways," declares Jason. "By which I mean your window's open. You get kind of careless when you haven't slept, Timbo."
