Summary
Jason’s jaw flexes. “You think he’s gonna stop?” he asks, voice low and dangerous. “He won’t. Men like that— they keep taking until someone stops them.”
He leans closer, “I can give you the gun.”
Tim’s stomach turns. “I can’t, Jason,” he says quietly, forcing each word.
Jason studies him in silence, unreadable.
“Then let me,” he says finally.
····•····
“What did you do?”
The words hang in the air, soft but loaded, a warning and an accusation all at once.
Jason watches him, his expression blank and unflinching.
Tim’s voice rises, ragged and raw, shaking with the force of all he’s repressed. “WHAT DID YOU DO?”
•··········•··········•
OR: Tim keeps getting himself kicked out of schools (that little vigilante thing sort of gets in the way), and Jack Drake starts taking it personally. Their already-strained relationship devolves into abuse. Jason offers a helping hand. Tim's parents don't survive.
•··········•··········•
Can be read as a standalone, but is a chronological follow-up to Chekhov's Gun (aftermath of Titans Tower Attack)Series

Summary
The first time he hit a roadblock with the Avengers was not when Doc Ock attacked a bank, or a supervillain stalked Aunt May, or his full name came out. It was when Clint Barton offered him a drink.
...or, a Homecoming AU where young Peter Parker handles the Vulture without Iron Man, lies to the Avengers about his age, and gets away with it. For a time.

Summary
“Your prints were a match for a missing persons case from ten years ago. A little boy who was kidnapped.”
The officer pulls out a picture that she turns toward Peter. It’s a little boy around four years old, with curly brown hair. “That’s you,” she says.
Peter shakes his head.
“Do you remember how you got to that park? Who left you there?”
“Lady, I don’t remember jack shit,” Peter says. “I was like four. No one remembers shit from when they were four.”
---
Or: the biodad au where Peter gets arrested for selling drugs, and that actually improves his life.

Summary
Tim tugged, one last time, on the bandages, securing them with enough pressure to hopefully keep the wound from bleeding. He really shouldn’t have thought it was a quiet night earlier, he’d definitely jinxed it.
or
Tim gets shot, tries to hide it, gets busted, and now has to deal with the consequences of trying to hide an injury.
(Written for Whumptober 2025, day 11 - hidden injury)
