I'm struck by sudden painful need for Dana Winters. I- it was never cleared, I don't remember, if she actually died. Regardless, is there a fic where she is still alive, recovering in a foreign hospital with very good turnout of patient recovery and Tim is always checking on her but is determined to keep her away from his dangerous life, and no one really paid attention to her much as the second wife of the broke Jack Drake and it was easy enough to imply her death and the media took it as fact except her family knows but they just didn't connect Tim the stepson as Tim Drake-Wayne and her connection to him is completely non-existent in any and every records, not even Bruce knows (because Tim was still nursing his anger at him for Stephanie when he'd made the arrangements). And maybe I want someone to, like, suggest a threat to her but Tim stops that by calmly walking up to the audacious guy, threading their hands, and pushing until he's on his knees and Tim is looking at him with calm, dark eyes that are almost purple under his bangs and says it like a fact, not a rule or a promise because those are meant to be broken, but the sky is blue, rainbows are light illusions, and Tim is going to enjoy breaking them the next time they even look in her direction.
