Fics like for birds like me, every beat's a reckoning

Most part-dragons, he knows, experience this at a much younger age– somewhere around the onset of human puberty. When he never had, his parents had assumed that his dragon blood– passed down through his father’s line for generations, the origins of their surname Drake– was simply too diluted to have any major effects. They’d reached the conclusion that Tim might, one day, manifest a few smaller signs of dragon ancestry– brighter eyes, sharper teeth, a minor hoarding instinct– but would probably never manifest fully. Tim had tried hard not to be disappointed by it. He had been Robin by then, and he knew Batman probably wouldn’t keep him on if he knew the truth. No metas in Gotham, after all. He had not expected to be barely sixteen, orphaned, and coughing up frost, years after coming to terms with the fact that he would never be a true dragon.
