Writing that makes me want to be a better writer. Character voices and narration are strong, distinct, and beautifully executed.

Summary
“Jason,” Tim whispered. Jason ignored him. “Jason,” Tim hissed, a little louder. “Why did you kill me?”
Jason sighed, lifting an arm up to cover his face. “You replaced me,” he whispered back, his words lacking the bite they normally carried. “What the fuck was I supposed to do?”

Summary
Tim was doing just fine on his own. He fell into a routine between school, extracurriculars, and his nightly Batstalking. Maybe his situation was unconventional, but he could take care of himself.
Jason had something to say about that.
OR:
Tim may have been thirteen, but he was also a high school Sophomore and perfectly capable of faking a nanny, breaking and entering, and hacking the Batcomputer—not necessarily in that order.All he had to do to keep this lifestyle was maintain the ruse—easy enough when it came to his parents but a more treacherous undertaking to try to put one over on the Batman himself. And with Jason as his English tutor, Tim found himself growing perilously close to the Wayne family. Although at first content to watch them from behind his camera, it was only a matter of time before he got invested.

Summary
“Look, I know you’re pissed at me, but you didn’t see Tim back there. He’s off, and it’s worrying me. What if I hadn’t been there to stop him?”
“I presume he would have killed Nygma.”
“And you don’t see the issue with that?”
“Of course I do,” Damian snaps. “Timothy has always practiced careful restraint. He values life just as much as you do.”
Kent nods, gesturing up the stairs, “So you agree it was out of line.”
“No.”

Summary
"Hey," Jason laid a hand on his shoulder, "We’re gonna get him back."
"Yes," Dick growled, drawing his escrima sticks and clenching them tightly. "We are."
He flipped off the stack of shipping containers with a tight somersault, landing lightly. A split second later Jason landed heavy and solid behind him. The four guards didn't stand a chance.

Dick's temper isn't usually a problem. But when Robin disappears...crossing the line seems a lot easier.

Summary
Tim Drake didn't quite know what he was agreeing to four years ago, but he tried to make the best of it! Using notes from his past (future?) self, he (somewhat messily) tried to help everyone his other self cared for. Now, it's four years later and he can mostly ignore the second set of memories lying in the back of his brain. It'd be much easier if Dick Grayson would just leave him alone. If Tim believed in destiny he might actually think that the universe cared about what was lost.
Dick Grayson has spent the last year feeling like he's veered off course. Something keeps itching at the back of his brain. He's missed some clue. Helena Bertinelli's promised to help him crack down on human trafficking, but Dick thinks her foster kid might actually be more help in that department.

Summary
____
Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.
Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

Summary
“Bruce, this is not what you think it is,” Jason says into the cellphone a minute later. “You need to turn around, we’ve got a problem.”
A fourth person, one immediately recognizable, is pictured on the final page. The last person is not facing the camera, instead they are intently staring at the blue of a computer screen.
It is Jason's own head of black hair framed by the narrow lines of bookshelves, turned away and unaware.
"A big one, can't emphasize that enough. You need to pick me up, now."
Little handwriting, the kind that is halfway to cursive, lines the bottom of the photograph, and it's written in blue ink- maybe from a ballpoint pen.
Please, be more careful.- Language:
