The Scars He Hides [A DCU Fic]

***sobbing***"The Scars He Hides" by Iwritetoomanybooks on Ao3. Authors Summary:"Tim Drake applies make-up like armor, hiding the Joker's smile to spare the Batfamily a reminder. He understands his role: to be absent, quiet, and expendable so that Jason—the important son, the real son—can heal. Alfred visits, but he can't hide the bitter truth that sometimes, the most heroic thing a Robin can do is vanish."Author Tags: Batman - All Media Types, Stephanie Brown & Cassandra Cain & Tim Drake & Dick Grayson & Jason Todd & Damian Wayne, Tim Drake & Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake & Alfred Pennyworth, Tim Drake (DCU), Alfred Pennyworth, Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne, Damian Wayne, Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain, Angst, Hurt No Comfort, Scars, Tim Drake is Joker Jr. (DCU), Caring Alfred Pennyworth, Lonely Tim Drake (DCU), Tim Drake Needs a Hug (DCU), Hurt Tim Drake (DCU), Emotionally Hurt Tim Drake (DCU), self-exiled tim drake, Link to fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/80219436Eat some water and drink some food! - Clarity 💖
