Summary
“Are your parents not home?” Bruce looks at him evenly, not giving away what he is thinking. “The house was dark all week.”
“Yeah. They’re travelling for work,” Tim says, trying to save himself. He is not sure what Bruce would do with the truth, but his job is to be unobtrusive, not to be a problem.
“But they’re taking me out for dinner this weekend to make up for it.”
That has been one of his dearest fantasies as a child. That his parents would come back early from one of their trips and take him to eat whichever inadvisable food he was obsessing over at the time that was not allowed in the house.
It is an excuse that usually works well with adults. They only ever ask once, anyway, not interested in stirring up trouble.Bruce, of course, is not like other adults and keeps asking. Tim never stood a chance.

Bookmarker's Notes
And Bruce will not ask. The surest way to get him to back off is to overshare, to even just hint at Tim having a life beyond training and going on patrol. It is like Bruce is allergic to acknowledging Tim is an actual human being and does not blink in and out of existence depending on whether he is currently needed or not.

Summary
Dad watches him in the morning, critical, assessing. “Stayed up, did you?”
At least Dad didn’t hear him sneak back in. “Yeah,” Tim says. “You know how it is.”
Dad frowns. “You’re a growing boy. You should be sleeping early.”
Tim swallows. “Sometimes I can’t help it,” he says, instead, and something flickers in Dad’s eyes. Tim shoves his guilt to the back of his mind. Dad doesn’t know - Dad doesn’t need to know. It would just make everything more complicated.
Tim is being stalked by Sebastian Ives. Unfortunately, this is the least of his problems: his Dad is finally awake from his coma and is getting suspicious; and, worse, there’s a killer running around in Gotham, targeting kids and rich heirs to fortunes - and Tim is beginning to worry he - or Bruce - might be next.

Mellon Chronicles Series - COMPLETE by mellon_chronicles

Summary
MY PURPOSE , now complete, is to archive the epic series the Mellon Chronicles for readers to continue to enjoy. I do not claim authorship or ownership of any work in the Mellon Chronicles - that belongs to Cassia and Siobhan, and to Tolkien.
As readers may be aware, the original site at which the Chronicles were archived (aragorn-legolas.5u.com) has ceased to exist. I retrieved the all the stories from the online web archive Wayback Machine but I am unsure how much longer they will be available there either. So I am planning on re-posting them all here, in an effort to prevent them from disappearing from the internet altogether. There may be other sites where the works are also archived, but I could not find any from Googling.
In the series, you can find all of the stories in chronological order (that is to say, the order in which they appear in their entirety, not the order in which they were written).
If you appreciate being able to read the Mellon Chronicles here and, like me, do not want them to be lost, please comment and let me know. Thank you to everyone who has already done so, it makes me very happy to know that I'm not the only person who still remembers and enjoys these stories :)
