Fics like The One Thing

When Bruce became Batman, he vowed to keep children safe. This vow came into play when two of the three flying Grayson's were murdered. He took in their child and kept him safe from himself. He never let Dick Grayson go out on the streets as a vigilante. Instead, he gave him training: personal bat training and League Teamwork training. He gave the kid therapy (worked much better than beating bad guys). He let Dick, with the codename ‘Robin’, run comms with agent A. When Dick chose to continue vigilante work after the age of 16, he was ready for patrol with Batman by his side. Dick Grayson, age 18, graduated from Robin and patrolled by himself. He was kept safe and happy. Bruce was satisfied. Bruce’s philosophy saved Jason Todd’s life. But with Jason Todd never dying and Bruce never mourning, Timothy Drake was never needed. But that’s fine. Tim was found by a certain demon who taught him all he needs to know. —---- AKA: There are too many ‘Tim joins the family early’ and not enough ‘Tim joins the family late’. I’m fixing it.
