Disclaimers: No one and nothing here is mine.

Spoilers/Timeline: Plays fast and loose with the last two and a half years or so of canon. Some things are used, others are not. Takes place in a nebulous sort of now.

Summary: Tim vs. A Habit of Circumspection.

Ratings Note/Warnings: Sexual content which does and does not dovetail with the content some readers may find to be disturbing.

Author's Note: Betty wondered aloud what would happen if comics!Tim were dosed with the no-fear gas from Gotham Knights/TNBA. ALL her fault.

Acknowledgments: Much love and sincere gratitude to Pixie, Jack, and Mildred, all of whom went above and beyond the call of audiencing duty, held my hand, listened to me whine, and generally helped make this story much better than it otherwise would've been. All must hail.

Complete story here.
