Summary
She paused and cleared her throat. She blinked. Batman was still standing there.
“Batman. Alright. My name is Michelle Gordman. I am a therapist, though you must have seen the name card on my door. I usually take appointments, but…” She trailed off. Was she really about to offer Batman a therapy session?
What the hell, she thought to herself. She didn’t put herself through seven years of school, and choose to practice in her home city of Gotham just to balk at the first masked crusader who came in to lurk at her doorstep.it is a known fact that bruce wayne sees a therapist. it is a much lesser known fact, that batman sees the same therapist.

Summary
Child neglect isn't all bad, Tim tells himself when his parents sends apologies and mail-delivered gifts and an increased credit line for his 10th birthday. None of the other ten-year-olds have this kind of independence -- even Robin has a bedtime. And he's heard from Ives that his parents limit his "screentime", which sounds quite barbaric. So this is fine, really. He's ten and will be starting eighth grade in the fall. He doesn't need his parents in order to thrive, he can grow on his own, in the shadow of their neglect and inattention. He can be their set-it-and-forget-it kid.
-----
Tim is doing great being an independent vigilante, he's fine! He doesn't need help, he's definitely not estranged from the family -- he's just being independent.
Good thing he's part of a family of detectives who have their own ways of reaching out.
Featuring two powerpoints, one casefile, half a contract, a roomba, and several hugs.

Summary
Tim doesn't really want to have a therapy session with his own subconscious. Especially since his subconscious seems a little...off. Still, he doesn't regret the choices that led him here. He doesn't regret the role he had to play.
But Tim doesn't know that there's a timer ticking down over his head. A timer that Bruce and his brothers are trying desperately to beat.

The Key (to Wisdom & Pain) by sparkoflena

Summary
What stood out against the scars across Tim's chest and torso was a small bronze key hooked into a chain like a necklace. The key itself was barely big enough to open a large diary or a small lockbox.
Jason leaned forward. “What’s the key for, Baby Bird?” He grinned excitedly. Because now they were on better terms. Great terms, even. Which means he can tease his baby brother about his jewelry all he wants.
Yet something akin to agony flashed across Tim’s face so quickly that Jason almost thought he was making it up.
...
The key that breaks open the history behind Tim becoming Robin - and the things that happened after.

just lowering your expectations by the_star_catcher
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU
09 Feb 2026

Summary
For a long time, Tim doesn’t know his parents are dead. Maybe that makes him a bad son, for not knowing. When he reads about death, or when he watches people die in movies, their loved ones always know. There’s a gasp of pained revelation, an instinctual loss.
Tim doesn’t feel that. He wouldn’t have noticed at all, except for that he likes to keep track of the things going on in the places where his parents visit. Sometimes, it means he can ask leading questions, on their mostly-weekly phone calls, and Janet will spiral off into some tangent about these people and their lack of work ethic, and she’ll talk for minutes on end before realizing she’s still on the phone, getting bored, and then ending the call. So he keeps an alert system on his phone, for news, so they have some topics in common to talk about. It’s only luck he sees the article before anyone else does.
