Summary
it's nearly two a.m., and you're sitting in a cafe booth on your third coffee refill of the night, with your mug and phone in front of you. the space is empty, the only people inhabiting it being you and two employees, one taking a much-needed nap.
blanketing the low hum of the coffee machines was the sound of the unforgiving winter winds that howled as snow fell—even though they were naturally obtrusive, they weren't something that was able to pull you out of your thoughts tonight.
— in which you keep finding yourself out during restless nights, and you always seem to run into familiar strangers.
though you can't help but think they're hiding something. -

Summary
Tim is fine, really, he is. He’s a master at compartmentalization, and these memories are no different!
If it’s in his mind, he can put each thought into neat little boxes and store them away in neat little lines in the back of his head.
It was something he excelled at.
It was something he was used to.

Or; Tim has isn’t handling the events after the Titan Tower incident as well as he thought.

Summary
“Alfred,” Bruce starts, staring blankly ahead, “is that a European thing?”
Alfred’s indiscrete smirk grows, and he begins clearing away the dish Dick left behind. “No, I believe that is simply Master Dick showing affection.” He glances at Bruce from the side as he turns towards the sink. “Families share kisses in America as well, especially when children are young. Your mother was particularly fond of giving your young self kisses on the forehead.”
Bruce braces a hand on the counter, slumping into it. “Family,” he echoes in a whisper.

6 times Dick surprised a bat with a kiss, and 1 time a bat surprised him with one.

Summary
Tim and Kon find that the only thing more chaotic than balancing their civilian lives, secret identities, and major daddy issues is figuring out how to admit their feelings for each other. And the only thing harder than that is learning how to be in a relationship. Which might not be so hard, if Tim can stop falling asleep.

Summary
“Didn’t bring me my coffee today?” Tim jokes.
Kon fails to see the humor in the situation. He looks over and sees his hands shaking slightly.
“No. Feels like I'm fueling a bad habit.”
or
Tim has always been an insomniac. Kon wonders if that's why no one else seems to notice how much worse his sleeping habits have gotten.

Summary
When the manor is infested with termites, Bruce and several of the kids have to stay with the Kent's while their home is being fumigated. When Tim is forced to share a room with Damian and Jon, he was worried about being stabbed in his sleep. He didn't realize he also had to worry about watching his little brother crawl into bed with his best friend once they thought he was asleep.
---
There was a squeak. It was faint, but it was enough to untangle all of the progress Tim had made and render him wide awake once more. There was a creaking sound and the rustling of bed sheets and before he could try to figure out what it was, he saw a dark figure climbing down the ladder. Damian couldn't sleep either, it seemed.Tim assumed he was going to steal his blankets, get a drink of water, or maybe even take a walk, the way he sometimes did when he was restless, but he didn't. No, instead, Damian quite rudely jabbed at the mound of blankets Jon was under, earning a small groan from him.
Damian hushed him quickly. "Scoot over," he whispered, reaching to move the blankets so he could get in the bed.
Aka: Collection of ways the Wayne's and company realized they were not in fact the world's best detectives.

Summary
Tim had always wanted a sibling. He daydreamed often about having a little brother or sister, he had wanted it so badly.
Then, he got Damian. And he regretted even thinking about wanting a little sibling.
Even putting the whole “he wants to kill me” thing aside, the kid was so weird. Threatening him with putting silver in his suit as if he were talking about acid, carving a wooden stake as he glared at him after he beat him to the Batmobile’s passenger seat, hastily closing the curtains as he crawled out of his room to get more coffee, solemnly offering to help him get blood.
Weird, really.
Or, how Damian, out of all people, and mistaken as fuck, is the one to show Tim he’s part of the family. On his own way, of course.

Summary
“Don’t make eye contact,” he whisper yelled as he saw her staring at them openly.
“Noted, is there a way for us to get out of here?”
“No, we’re in a corner, there’s nowhere to run. Not even a damn vent in the ceiling,” he cursed.
“Maybe they won’t see us,”
They did.
The shorter of the duo, the man with electric blue eyes and bronze skin happened to catch a glance of them. He tapped the shoulder of the other brother and two stared at Tim for an uncomfortably long time before approaching. Tim cursed under his breath-
