    Summary

    Jason had a garden.

    Jason had a garden that’s been locked away and forgotten about. No one will notice if he goes there. It's probably much worse than just going into any of Jason's rooms, but Jason had brought the garden back into bloom after Martha Wayne's death. Tim could probably do the same.

    It would be a good way of keeping Jason's memory alive.

    That is, if Tim can find it.

     

    Or: Tim, in an effort to distract himself from the loss of his parents, decides to tackle the heavy grief haunting the halls of Wayne Manor after Jason's death. And in pulling a family together again, he finds that he, too, has a place in it.

    Summary

    Tim is good at galas.

    No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

    Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.

    Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.

    Summary

    “I’m Tim,” he says, though introducing himself to a puppy makes him flush in embarrassment. “Are you hungry?”

    The dog blinks at him, all scared eyes.

    “Where’s your family?” Tim asks. “Did they leave you?”

    (Or: Tim Drake finds a friend.)
