    Summary

    It had been months, and yet he could still feel unwanted hands dancing across his skin. Those deceptively soft touches that left him sore and covered in bruises for weeks... he swears sometimes that he was still there, that these past few months had simply been a dissociative illusion.

    Summary

    "If Todd skipped out on too many family meals, Grayson would be marching over to one of his safe houses and dragging him to the manor. If Brown or Cain was gone on a mission for too long, the family would make time for them to relax and Pennyworth would make their favorite meals to entice them to dinner. If Damian was too far into his head and feeling frustrated they would give him enough space that he didn't feel coddled but also open that door for him and eventually force him out of his own head.
    But Drake... He hadn't come to family dinner for three months now, Todd never made it to the two month mark. Drake hasn't come back to the manor after a mission for anything longer than a sitrep and debrief. (Of which Drake consistently lied about and avoided medical attention every night and not once did anyone call him on it). And Drake was always in his own head and no one seemed to bother to pull him out. No one coddled, no open doors, no forcing him to float, just... letting him drown."

    Summary

    There was a time once Tim considered himself an irreplaceable part of the team. Ironic, but it was true.

    It has been four months since he saved Bruce. Since Kon came back. Since Bart came back. Since something as permanent as death became temporary once again.

    Tim knows better now.

    And as he moves out of the big manor, he knows no one will really miss him. He knows.

    But it still hurts.

    Or: Tim goes to therapy and explores his depression, while his family misses him dearly

    Summary

    The pain is no longer sharp—just deep and consuming. It throbs with his heartbeat. Every pulse reminds him he’s still here.

    Still breathing.

    Still inconveniently alive.

    Tim considers staying right where he is up against the tree.

    The bleeding will do the hard part—eventually. Hypothermia would help. He’s already soaked from the river anyway and the night air is cold enough to bite. He could close his eyes—rest maybe—stop fighting for once.

    The city lights blur and flicker in the distance.

    No one would know exactly where he is. Maybe not for another few hours or so. They’d search for a while, then when they find Tim maybe he won’t be here anymore.

    His good hand rests limp over his stomach.

    I’m so tired...
    He thinks bleakly the kind of tiredness that settles into your bones and not just your muscles.

    Tim’s eyes flutter shut against the night. Keeping them open requires too much effort.

    His breathing slows, the sound of the water trickling by keeps him semi present, and for a moment—suspended between pain and sleep—Timothy Drake genuinely hopes he doesn’t wake up.

    --

    Or: Tim gets into a motorcycle accident.
