I'm a Good Pretender by orphan_account

Summary
“You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”
“It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.
(Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)
“Then what is it?”
“It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”
-_-
Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.
Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.

Summary
Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”
Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”
Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”
“FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”
