Summary
Tim was Batman's omega. He was the keystone of his pack. That was all he'd wanted to be... until he discovered just how it was built. The tower of lies had collapsed, but he still felt all the weight of the pack on him, and now it was like there was nothing but a yawning chasm underneath him.
(This is the third work in a trilogy.)

Summary
After he'd eaten dinner, Tim allowed himself to settle down on the couch and take out his phone to check his inbox.
R: Hey. Based on your profile, we might be looking for the same thing. I’d love to hear more about what you’re interested in, though.
(Against his better judgement, Tim Drake makes a Grindr profile and starts sexting with a stranger to distract himself from his life-ruining crush on the Red Hood.)

Summary
It’s been two months since Bruce has allowed Tim to go out as Robin, and every night Bruce patrols the city alone. Gotham’s shadowy knight is stalking the streets for a vigilante that seems to forethink his every move, and at the same time, dead ends; false trails; and strange, macabre clues haunt both the Batman and Bruce Wayne.
Meanwhile, Tim drinks stupid protein shakes made with milk from Wisconsin cows and fails online Precalculus. They are, Tim thinks bitterly, right back where they started.
(But there is a difference between waiting and biding your time.)
Title taken from “To an Athlete Dying Young” by A.E. Housman.

Summary
If Bruce wasn't so busy investigating the Red Hood, he might have realised that, while Jack Drake is in a coma and Tim is grounded from patrol, Drake Industries goes broke. Overnight, the Drakes lose everything, leaving Tim without a cent to his name.
Jason, meanwhile, cannot believe that the Bats haven't noticed yet that something is obviously wrong with the Replacement.
*
It’s weird, being poor. At the moment, Tim has precisely eleven dollars to his name. Drake Industries, gone. Their assets, gone. His trust fund, being used to pay for his father’s hospital bills. The house is gone, too. That's okay. Tim is okay. Sometimes, though, he lies awake at night, and he can’t help but wonder. Does Bruce know? He definitely doesn’t, obviously. But, does he?
