    Summary

    Tim Drake has a secret.
    Well, he knows Batman's secret, but that one isn't really his, he's just holding on to it.
    Tim's secret is that he and his parents are wolf shifters, and they refuse to let anyone know about it. But it's fine. He can shove down his feelings and instincts that whisper that he's been abandoned and live a perfectly normal Bat-photographer life.
    Except that there's a black market for shifters and the way home is longer than he had thought possible.

    Summary

    Tim is prepared to take the steps necessary to ensure that Bruce will not feel obligated to adopt Tim when a comatose Jack Drake inevitably dies. But what could be better than preventing Bruce from ending up with a son he doesn't want? Bringing back the one he does.

    Jason agrees to the Replacement's stupid, stupid plan to invite some strange adult man he's never met to come live with him, if only to keep the idiot alive long enough for him to serve his purpose in the Great Red Hood Revenge Scheme.

    Might this new roommate situation have an impact on either of their worldviews? Surely not...

    Summary

    Tim Drake is a solitary creature, whether by necessity or by natural predisposition. But he’s good at being alone. He’s learned to enjoy his own company, to take solace in his own cognizance. Aided by the brisk air of Gotham’s night air and a thrilling sense of independence, Tim learns that some things feel more special when you get to keep them for yourself. Unaccompanied walks down the school halls and singular movie tickets and dinners-for-one aren’t so bad when he can entertain himself with his own thoughts.

    Tim has become so good at being alone, he can almost pretend he isn’t desperate for the unconditional love and companionship that a soulmate would guarantee.

    It would be nice, Tim thinks, to have someone in his life who actually wants him. Someone who won’t leave every chance they get. Someone who enjoys his presence instead of merely tolerating it. Someone for whom he isn’t an obligation.

    Still his wrist remains blank.

    Until it doesn't.

    Summary

    Kara huffs out a breath in frustration. “Every Kryptonian has a heartsong. And they’re beautiful, but when you listen to one on its own it feels like something is missing. It’s like...they have something like this too, right?” She gestures outward impatiently, and Bruce forces himself not to flinch at her casual use of they. “Only they have words written down instead.”

    “Soulmates,” Clark says, his voice strained.

    The word hits Bruce like a bullet through the lung. He keeps his face perfectly relaxed, his heartbeat calm and regular, as he realizes (too late, he's always too late) that he should have expected this all along.

    Summary

    Back when Tim's parents still cared about him. Back when his Dad actually paid attention to him.

    When they would still celebrate his birthday.

    Tim would always receive Dad Bucks™

    He was told he could buy anything he ever wanted using that money.

    However, since Jack and Janet Drake were always out of the country, he was never able to cash in anything from his dad.

    But Bruce Wayne, who lives next door, is a dad...
