    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

    “Satoru?” The word rings, fuzzy in his ears as it whines like tinnitus, familiar and heart stopping.

    ‘I’m dead.’ He can’t even hear his own thoughts over the loudness of the world, staggering where he stands, eyes still fixated on the sky, on the sun. ‘I’m dead, I died, I felt my heart stop, this can’t be, it can’t-’

    “Hey,” it comes again, a little more urgent than before, a little closer, another hammer to his ears and all the noise shrieking behind his eyes. He recoils hard enough to go stumbling as a hand reaches for him, covered in flesh rather than empty bone, tan and recognizable. Unbelievable.

    There’s something wet trickling from his nose. Bile stings on the back of his tongue. The words dissolve into the rest of the white noise as he stares up at the blue of the sky, and tries to remember if he’d ever had a hallucination as bright as this.

    ‘I have to be dead,’ he thinks. Somehow, he isn’t.

    Or: Gojo Satoru goes back in time. He makes a couple of changes for the better.

    Summary

    Jason died.

     

    Give me a friend, Tim thought with all the firmness he could muster. Something twisted in his gut, and a weird tingling came from his fingers, the kind he got when his arm fell asleep.

    All of a sudden, he was exhausted. What? Tim scowled at the feeling, forcing himself to sit up. It took him a moment to realize, but someone was standing in front of him. The edges of him - it was a boy, practically a grown-up - flickered for a moment, like static on a TV, before turning normal again.

    He was dressed in bright colors, red and green and yellow like a traffic light - like Robin. The costume was torn right over where the ‘R’ was supposed to be, and it was kind of bloody - really bloody.

     

    Gotham is a city of tragedies, wrapped up in enough grief that while Tim knows that Robin has died, he doesn't connect that to his new imaginary friend. There's no reason to; Tim is a normal boy, by Gotham's standards.

    It turns out Gotham's standards are fairly abnormal.

    Summary

    Civilians came first. 

    It was one of the foundational truths of being a superhero. Their job was to save civilians regardless of the personal cost. Each of them knew and understood the risks associated with the cape when they put it on. 

    Still, rules got fuzzy when one woke up underneath a building. 

    Or the one where a building explodes and Tim is trapped under the rubble

    Summary

    Death is usually the end. Finality. That's kind of the definition of it.

    And falling several stories toward concrete usually meant death. Timothy Drake had certainly assumed as much in the final seconds before he hit the sidewalk at terminal velocity.

    But Tim should have realized that, given the complexity of his life, his death would never be that cut and dry.

    Enter: a severed head, ten missing months, and an immortal cult leader.

    A little less simple. And for some reason, Jason Todd seems to have some answers to his missing months and the violent urge that curdles beneath his skin.
