okay so reverse robins and no capes au, damian(14/15), tim(7/8) and jason (5/4) have all been adopted (or they could all be bio, up to you) by bruce, anyway, the manor gets attacked and bruce dies, so that's just leaves damian, tim, jason and alfred, alfred attempts to move them to a safe house, unfortunately alfred dies in the process and the three boys are taken to a secondary location, all of gotham is in a famine and it's chaos, there's violence everywhere and everyone knows there's a war coming

the boys' kidnappers know that they're not gonna be able to get enough food for all of them to eat, eventually, one of the men takes jason away from tim and damian, damian attempts to comfort his younger brother, he should know what to do, but truth is, he is scared, his dad and alfred are dead and all he has left is his little brothers. jason doesn't come back, but there's stew for everyone for a while, damian knows what the meat is, tim is smart enough to figure it out from the way damian gags and throws up after eating it

(i think we all have an idea of where this is going.)

evebtually damian and tim are found by the police, they're both separated, damian is collected by ra's al ghul, tim doesn't have any family left, and so he's sent to the orphanage made out of the wayne manor where he has to share what used to be his own home with at least a hundred other boys, he finds himself mute from the trauma. tim stays there for a few years, due to his mutism, tim finds himself in trouble a lot for not respecting the staff working at the orphanage

tim is eventually collected by his uncle in paris, where he goes on to study medicine and finds himself having a fascination with death, tim goes after jason's killers and kills them all

(if you don't know where i'm going with this then please prepare 🤞)

fast forward a few years, tim finds himself estranged with damian, damian already moved on, damian has dick now, tim doesn't include himself with that family. tim works as a psychiatrist, he gets good money, especially considering the mass clientele he has in gotham, no one lives in gotham without getting fucked up in some way, one day he's called in by head of the behavioral science unit at the FBI, special agent clark kent, tim accepts the offer and heads down to the FBI academy and there he meets special agent conner kent, a criminal profiler with an eye for murder and perhaps a palette deserving of dirtying

if you couldn't tell yeah i basically just ripped hannibal off, but i think it would be a cool au, especially if damian knew that tim was the one behind it, but that's his brother so he keeps his mouth shut, or maybe damian's like garret jacob hobbs and dick's like abigail (that would be fun)

even better than that? the batfam are all just chilling and actually somewhat getting along with each other when poof tank!tim (that's what we're calling it.) appears, and everyone's like 'who the actual fuck is this lad? and more importantly how the fuck did he get here' and tank!tim blinks and is like 'wtf i was literally just with kon?' anyway queue batfam basically figuring out this is tim from the future and chaos ensues

like for example, the justice league needs ALL hands on deck and they're all like 'yeah this massive lad could probably help' and tank!tim's like 'yeah sure i can help, i think i remember doing this mission actually!' and so the batfam rock up to the JL with this absolute brick wall of a man but whatever cause he's helping them

and then a convenient portal opens up and in comes one of the bat boys from the future (probably jason) and tank!tim rests his elbow on future!jason's shoulder and says something like 'hey short stack' because tim is somehow like 3 inches taller than him

anyway the batfam spend the rest of the day enjoying how small tim is at that moment because they know damn well he will not be movable in the future

side note - i fucking LOVE absolutely fucking TANKED tim especially when they make him taller than jason and it drives jason insane because that's his BABY brother that he could have easily beaten up and now tim could probably bench-press him, the real reason tim got so jacked was so that he could manhandle kon and carry him around like the little princess he is

ignore how occ it is, i had to quickly make some shit up okay

like i'm not gonna lie, i fucking love when tim has like 2729273 x the amount of trauma than he does in cannon, i LOVE me a good abusive jack and janet, but i am aware that in canon, tim's parents aren't absolutely vile creatures from the depths of hell like they are sometimes in fanon, i absolutely adore tim and jason's fanon dynamic, i love when dick is portrayed to be an absolute sweetheart to his brothers and sees them as doing absolutely no wrong no matter if they're all technically mass murderers

it's okay to enjoy fanon over canon and i feel like everyone makes it a HUGE deal about it when it's just enjoying a version of that character 😔

anywho i think he wound like the og but the sugar free version (that's one of my fav ones anyway and im drinking it rn so..)

(side note i wanted to flex my monster collection - its expanded by around 5 since i last took a picture though)

i was looking for timkon babe idgaf about your argument with your sibling or whatever okay. tags are there for a reason, think of it as like the filtering on ao3, because tumblr compared to most traditional fanfic sites does not have very good filtering, you can only search through one tag at a time and sometimes people don't put 'character angst' all in one tag so it makes it super hard to find the content that you want, so please for the love of god start tagging things properly and stop polluting tags with things that don't even relate to the tags it's SO annoying

i never really got too emotional over jason's death until now because that was a 15 year old boy with the sun inside of his soul and he was so brutally killed, like he still had chubby cheeks and his teeth were probably still a little wonky and he was still waiting for a growth spurt

anyway just the thought of bruce going into his room and trying to move on from his death and breaking down because jason's room still smelled like him, the hoodie tossed causally over his chair still smelled like him, his nightlight still routinely came on every night, his sticky notes reminding himself of homework that was due months ago still remained on the cork board

i like to think that sometimes bruce and dick would go into there and just sit on the floor, making sure to not touch any of jason's dirty washing that was still on the floor, and they'd just sit there and breathe in jason's scent like he was still there

possible head cannon that when jason came back and spent his first night back at the manor, he moved to a different room and jason's old room never got touched again and somehow the smell of 15 year old jason (way different to 19 year old jason) never quite faded and sometimes, just sometimes, bruce and dick would let themselves imagine a world where jason returned home that day, where his washing was collected by alfred, his nightlight came on, his book was opened to the next page and dog-eared again, and that jason's eyes wouldn't be green, because that potential silly, happy boy died alongside jason, jason is still jason, but jason would never be the jason he would have been if he had come home
