Summary
Frowning, Bruce feels Tim’s forehead and cheek with the back of his hand. “You’re feverish.”
“I think I’m allergic to Alfred’s new detergent,” Tim says, scratching, scratching, scratching.
Unconvinced, Bruce takes Tim’s hand away from where he’s tearing at his neck and pushes up the sleeve. Tiny pink dots freckle across Tim’s skin. “You have chickenpox.”
He might as well have just told Tim he had testicular cancer with the way his face blanches in horror. “You’re kidding me."

Summary
“His name’s Richard Grayson. Social services are backed up today, so I need you to watch him.”
Bruce is aghast. “I’m not a babysitter.”
“You are now.” Leslie and the other real surgeons—everything that Bruce would kill to be—prepare to wheel the dad up to the surgical floor. “Watch over the kid while I try and save his dad.”

Natural Consequences by motleyfam

Summary
If at six years old, Tim chose to watch that scary movie with the alien ripping open the guy’s stomach that Jack told him he was too young for, then he could change his own sheets later that night when he wet the bed from nightmares. If at eight, Tim broke a window playing with his new slingshot too close to the house, then he could pick up all the shattered pieces of glass himself and pay to replace it from his birthday savings. If at twelve, he was irresponsible enough to forget to request more funds on his school lunch account before his parents traveled to the remote mountains of Nepal, then he could go hungry for a few days until they returned to cell service range.
His parents rarely ever punished him, per se, but they’ve always been big believers in letting him feel the full weight of his natural consequences.
Tim knows better than to expect any help.
–--
When Tim gets hurt doing something stupid, there are a few misconceptions that still need to be cleared up between him and his new family.

Summary
Bruce turned to properly face Duke. “I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you were awake, but if you want to talk now….”
Duke groaned, falling back onto the pillows. “Aren’t you supposed to be the emotionally constipated adult who just leaves things alone?”
“I’m trying this new thing out,” Bruce said dryly, “where I try to be supportive of emotionally constipated children.”
(Duke is kinda going through it. He has to accept he doesn't have to go through it alone.)
