Summary
"Let him go." He smiles again, that terrible smile. Tim stands before him, panting. His left leg is dripping blood, his costume is torn in a million places, and he guesses his face is swollen with red bruises, but the knife is still somehow in his hand.
"Go on, little bird. Let's see how far you manage to run before you crawl back here begging for more. I heard the new compound I developed is very... tempting."
or
Tim gets hit with a new drug. There are consequences.

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."

Summary
“His name was Tim.” Dick said. “And when he was your age, he looked just like you. You know, my buddy Tim was teaching himself ASL because sometimes he found it hard to talk. Is he the one who taught you to use it?”
There was no reaction at all this time, the boy once again completely silent. Even his breaths were unnaturally quiet, as if he had been trained not to ever make a sound.
“I haven’t seen Tim for a long time.” Dick said. “Years, to be honest. I saw him at Gala’s mostly, and I remember we hid beneath the punch table, gorging ourselves on sweets. Do you like candy, Bud?”
Dick wasn’t sure if the kid had ever had candy in his whole life, his muscles were nearly non existent and he weighed enough to be blown away from the wind. Given how his arm was still bleeding, Dick was honestly getting a little worried that his body wouldn’t be able to tolerate it for much longer.
---
After being missing for seven years, Tim Drake is found to have been held captive within his own house the entire time. Dick convinces Bruce to take him in, remembering the child that he had once seen at banquets, the child who had become his friend, the friend who now needs love and support to heal and feel safe.Series

Summary
“I thought I had made my peace.” Tim said.
“About your body?”
Tim nodded, pulling at a thread in the blanket.
“I knew I was… Um… You know…”
“Dying?” Jason suggested.
Tim’s breath caught and he looked up at Jason with wide eyes. It was one thing for Damian to say it, another thing for Tim to think it, but this was Jason. The crazy, messed up, loving, Jason. His older brother, his rock, his absolute pain in the ass of a coworker and friend.
“You nearly fell off a building, Drakey-Boy.” Jason said. “After you coughed up blood. And before you had a fever that peaked at 107 because you always want to outdo the rest of us, you little shit. Your health is getting worse, not better. And it’s just going to keep getting worse.”
“Yeah…” Tim mumbled. “Yeah, it will.”
-----
Tim Drake's immune system is failing, every infection and illness chipping away at his body and his resolve. Jason thinks that he has found an immunotherapy that might help but that would involve Tim admitting not only that he needs the help, but actually accepting that he deserves the help too.

Summary
He needed to stay still but everything hurt so much and Tim just wanted to curl up into a ball. He tried to do just that but Dick tutted, refocusing Tim by running fingers through his hair again.
“That’s it Tim, just breathe Bud.”
Breathing would be a lot easier without a bullet to the chest but Tim didn’t want to say anything less he incur both of his older brothers wraths. He just lay there dutifully, his whole body trembling as the pain stubbornly continued to rise. Tim whimpered, eyes burning. At least if he had been in his uniform, he would have had some reinforcement but given that they had been in their civvie clothes, Tim’s chest had no such protection.
A part of him didn’t even mind this so much, this was one of the rare times all three of them were free to catch up during the day and while it hurt like hell it was nice to have Jason and Dick there with him. Let’s give a big yay to Tim’s mental state and attachment to his brothers with the thought that he didn’t mind being shot as long as they were here with him.
