Submitter's comment:

Genuinely one of the best horror/dark fics I have read in the fandom. Basically take “Tim is in an abusive situation” and turn it into “The Drakes are monsters raising Tim for something.” The series is ongoing and there are still so many questions to be answered. Babs is wonderful in this. I selected Shippy because I genuinely can not remember if the stuff happens in this fic or the next one in the series. (Mod note: I'm pretty sure I remember the 'stuff' happening later, so I switched it to Gen ;)

I've never read a story written from Dana's perspective, but I LOVE Dana! She is written SO well here, and it makes me like her even more!

Submitter's comment:

A look a Tim's early training, and Dick realizing its different than his own was. Love Dick's voice here, and how he asks questions!

Summary:

Tim's been fixing Bruce's mistakes since he became Robin. It only makes sense that he'd step in when it comes to Damian as well.
