Fics like One Day I'm Gonna Grow Wings

It hurt. It hurt to breathe, air not coming out properly through his shattered ribs. He was bleeding out somewhere – everywhere – and thinking was getting harder and harder as the edges of his vision turned dark and blurry. It was harder to see the face of his old hero, his stretched out wings casting a shadow over them both. Those wings – Robin’s wings –, used to mean everything to him. Now they just mocked him. A sharp laugh echoed through the empty tower. “Cuckoos can't fly with broken wings.” As the world turned darker and the pain seemed to swallow him whole, all he could think of was how he hadn't been a bird in a long time. — There's something missing in Tim Drake. Jason Todd was born and died an avian. Wings in his back were a target, a source of pain, a source of comfort; they were freedom. Now, a year into his resurrection and a reluctant peace struck between him and the Bats, a boring stakeout and itchy wings brings a side of the Replacement he never imagined.
