Fics like Need You to Need Me

Tim, frankly, didn’t care if he wasn’t wanted. Being wanted wasn’t important. It didn’t count for anything in the long run. You could want something for a few years, a few days, and then in a matter of seconds you’d forget about it and move on to the next best thing. Tim had wanted Robin until he didn’t. Jack Drake had wanted a family until he didn’t. What was most important was to be needed. It’s how he’d wriggled his way into the lives of the bats. He certainly hadn’t been wanted, because Batman hadn’t wanted a Robin. But he’d needed one. He’d needed one and Tim had delivered accordingly. Now, he was a part of the Wayne family tree, fucked up as it was, and he’d be damned if he’d let it fall apart. Even if it meant dragging an inebriated Bruce Wayne to his bed on some nights. Even if his palms bled and his heart raged and the quiet parts of him died somewhere along the way. or Bruce's bats have started leaving the nest and he isn't taking it well. Can Tim pull him back from the ledge? Or will he lose himself in his battle to save Bruce's mind?
