Tim's relationship with Bruce is so messed up. He's parentified all to hell. If anyone has any fic recs for Tim ordering around Batman and Bruce obeying I'd be forever in your debt!

And in case anyone wants a little comics inspiration for writing more fics with Bruce and Tim here's a bunch of panels showing Tim ordering around Bruce, comforting him, or generally acting like his parent/emotional support Robin/keeper. Starting off with my favorite!
